Thanksgiving Day

The boys were hugging the heater since it was FREEZING outside!!!

 Judson was the Thanksgiving Egg Cracker!

 If there was a competition for four year old egg crackers, I do believe Judson would win it!!!

 He's really good and hardly ever gets any shells in them!

 A Little Thanksgiving Nap...

We had a very nice Thanksgiving with family, then about 7:30, April, Mother and I headed out to SHOP!!!  SO fun!

November 26, 2013

 Paul David had been wanting a Pumpkin Pie, so we whipped one up and made homemade whipped cream to to on it!  The whipped cream was SO GOOD!!!!

 I was trying to get a picture of Paul David and Judson kept photo bombing him...

 I was working Christmas Cards and I had a little helper...

 I got out the Christmas Shirts and they put them on immediately!!!

 Judson and Mimi baked Lovey a cake for his "birthday!"

Lovey has had lots of birthdays!!!

 Paul took the boys to the Fish Store and they each got to pick out two new fish!

Paul David picked these yellow and black Koi:

 And Judson picked my favorites...Parrot Fish!!!

 We lost a lot of fish not too long ago, but we finally got whatever was killing them out of the tank!  YAY!  We'd been needing to get some new ones!

Mimi let the kids make Turkey Cookies after dinner!  Judson had a blast and made several:

Bryanna and Henry brought us lunch (Chelsea's!!) and we got to cuddled with this sweet baby!

He's such a sweet baby, and he was almost smiling at me!!! 

Thanksgiving Feasts

November 19, 2013

The boys had their Thanksgiving Feasts on the same day!

 I had already volunteered for Judson's Feast (which is more of a carnival!), so I went to SLC and hung out with this little Indian and painted faces all morning!!

Making a Pasta Necklace, which he loved!

The book walk...he was having a good time I promise!!!

 Eating his feast...chicken nuggets and apples!

 And at the other school at the same time, Paul David enjoyed his feast of Chick Fil A as well with Mimi and Daddy!!!!

Champions!!!!!

The Machine Pitch league plays a double elimination tournament at the end of the regular season!

Paul David's team had won every game during the tournament, and each time the games ended early because the Giants had scored so many runs that the other team couldn't catch up!  It was crazy!!!!

They came into the Championship Game Undefeated in the Post Season and READY TO PLAY!!!!!

And Play they did!  They had so much fun out there and WON!!!!!!

The League Coordinator got them all out on the field for the Trophy Presentation!

Coach Ryan and Paul David

CHAMPIONS!!!!!

What a fun season!!!

Well, it was fun for Paul and Paul David...I was stressed out!!

It was such a learning season for Paul David, but I found out that when your kid is learning something new and looks like he's struggling, it's hard on Mama!!!  He came out of the season a much better batter, started catching the ball in the air the "right" way, and started playing catcher!  He grew so much, and we're so proud of him for trying and learning new things!

Sea World!!!!

 November 17, 2013

Of course, we went to Sea World!!!

Our first stop was Shamu!!!!

And the Shamu Roller Coaster!

Do you know how much we enjoyed that Judson could ride with Paul David?

We pretty much found a rock to sit on where we could see them go in and come out and they rode no less than 25 times!  It helped that there was never a line!

They had a blast!!!

 And we met up with Franklin...

They even rode the Abby Cadabby Spinning Fish Ride by themselves!

 The Penguins were adorable and stinky too!

 And the Shamu show was so fun!

 We decided that we have so many pics of Sea World already, that we only took our phones in to take pictures!  It worked really well, and we just took a few and enjoyed everything with the boys!  Of course, 3/4 of our time was spent watching them go on and come off the Shamu Coaster:)

This was Judson 15 minutes after we got in the car...with his hand in the cookie bag!!!

 

Longhorn vs. OSU Cowboys

 November 16, 2013

We headed to Austin for our last regular season football game!

On our way into the stadium, we stopped and got this nice picture of the boys with the stadium in the background!

 We also ran into the Hostess booth!  They were handing out Twinkies, Cupcakes and Brownies!!

 We found a spot in the Red Zone to sit and wait a bit before we sat in the sun!

We were right by this big football...

 And the UT Basketball players were there signing autographs!

Judson came back from that and ran right to me and said, "Mommy, they had sharpies!"  He loves Sharpies!

 Then, we started applying our sunscreen.  While I was putting mine on, Judson got hold of the tube and applied his own to his face!

The boys in their matching Longhorn Hats (thanks to Mrs. Ginger!)

Our last family picture at DKR in 2013!

The game didn't end so well for the Longhorns, but our night ended great...

AT Salt Lick!!!!

And from there, we drove to San Antonio!

There were no hotel rooms in Austin (3 months out, there had been no hotel rooms in Austin...there was a Car Race there!)

So San Antonio, we are, and guess where we're going tomorrow...
