Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our beloved B-man today! He's a great husband and a wonderful Daddy to Lil Boo. We hope you have a great day today!

A birthday for B-man also means a birthday for Uncle A! So, here's a shout out to you in Hawaii...Hau'oli lā hānau!

Clemson Clenches Atlantic Dvision

As of this past Saturday our beloved Clemson Tigers have won the Atlantic Division of the ACC. They will now face Georgia Tech on Dec 5 to decide who will be the ACC champions this year. It will be a rematch of a game played earlier this year in which Ga Tech was the victor. That game was a HARD fought game and although we lost, we were very proud of how the Tigers pulled it out in the second half. And of course, we're hoping for a different outcome this time around.

We've been trying to get this far for years and the opportunities just slipped right out of our hands year after year. But, not this year!! We were lucky enough to watch the game here on Saturday.

Here's a video of Boo doing the Tiger Rag after a touchdown! He always points his finger...we didn't teach it that way.

Goooooo Tigers!

1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4 C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-R-S!
Fight Tigers! Fight Tigers! Fight! Fight! FIGHT!

Dancing Machine

When BeBe was here we went to Gruene, TX (pronounced Green) to a restaurant called The Gristmill. Gruene is a really cool little town (about 3 streets worth) and the restaurant is really rustic and fun and overlooks the Guadalupe River. Next to the restaurant is Gruene Hall. It's the oldest dance hall in Texas and from what I've heard, it is the dance hall in the movie Michael where John Travolta is dancing with the ladies to Chain of Fools. Remember that?

After supper we walked by the dance hall to get back to the car and well, Boo was struck by the music. He stepped up to the stoop and started dancing.

I just love his dancing!

Busy as Bees with BeBe!

I've kind of been out of the blogosphere for a little while. But I have a great excuse. BeBe (my Mom) came to visit us last week and we stayed busy throughout her visit. Boo was such a good trooper! We had AWESOME weather...70's and sunny during her visit with one rainy day on Sunday. Here are some of the highlights!

Feeding the ducks at the SA Botanical Gardens.

Granny and Grandpa, these ducks weren't aggressive like the ones at Landa Park! :)

The Alamo!

Eating lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe on the Riverwalk.

Our neighbor gave us this cool push car.

It really was one of my best birthdays ever!

Strolling through the Japanese Tea Gardens.
Boo was sure to step in EVERY puddle in our path.
Such a boy...just like his Daddy!

Thanks for coming to visit BeBe! We had a great time and thanks for babysitting!

Happy Halloween Y'all!

We've been busy with various Halloween activities this week; between storytime at the library, multiple playgroups, and of course trick-or-treating tonight Boo had a lot of opportunities to wear his costumes.

At toddler storytime at the library, he was an Arkansas football player. Last year he was a Clemson football player for a Halloween birthday party, so we spread the love this year.

Toddler playgroup with his buddies.
He looks so sad because he's waiting on FOOD!

Did someone call for a doctor?
He's dressed as McCutie, MD this year.

See, I told you...McCutie!!

Riding in the wagon while we passed out candy.
He absolutely loves going for a riiiiide!

Before we had Boo, we used to showcase our jack-o-latterns at Halloween. We usually carve two. One for B-man and one for myself. Well, this year we just didn't get to it to all of that. We carved a Lil Boo for our lone pumpkin...this afternoon, just in the nick of time. Not too shabby!

Here are a couple of videos from the evening.

Our Lil Boo has grown so much since last year when he was a Lil spider.

Okay, one more picture. I couldn't resist!

Landa Park and Pumpkin Patch

We had a great visit with Granny and Grandpa this week. Here are some highlights.

Sittin' on a bench with Granny


We went to the Ford Family Farm pumpkin patch in Cibolo on Sunday afternoon. They had all kinds of activities for the little ones. In my desperate attempt to make it fall outside, I dressed us in jeans. My attempt failed. It was hot! :)
Lost in the hay bale maze.

" Okay, Dad. These are the pumpkins I want."

Gourd bowling with Dad.

Riding the wagon ride with Mom.

Lots of fun!

Trying to get the family photo. Can you tell we're hot?

Hayride!

We also went to Ft Sam Houston to see where Daddy works. I'll post pics of that trip later this week. It's really cool!

B-man also took Granny and Grandpa to the Riverwalk and the Alamo.

Thanks for coming to visit!
