Tyler & Molly pictures

I had Tyler's 5 year and Molly's 18 months pictures taken last month.  We also got a family one for the Christmas card, but you'll have to wait to see it.  I'm a little jealous of my sisters because their photo sessions went great,their kids behaved and they got tons of cute poses and pictures. Not us!  Tyler went first since Molly fell asleep on the way and he did decent.  I love his 3 pictures.  Then we had to wake Molly up and she was in no mood for pictures.  The 2 of her are cute, but they aren't big smiles.  We weren't able to get any of the two of them, which bums me.  Maybe for her second birthday in April, we'll get lucky.  We got 2 decent family ones, but only in one spot and one pose because when we tried to move for more, Tyler had a meltdown.  Here are the pictures.

This past weekend our sweet friends, the Bumgarners watched Tyler and Molly for us for a night.  We dropped them off Saturday at 9:30 and picked them up Sunday at 2:30.  It was great to just hang out with Scott, have fun, and remember what we were like before kids.  Anyways, we went to lunch at Chuy's and them zip lining in Wimberly.  It was lots of fun.

That evening we went to Gruene.  We had never been there before.  It was a cute little town with fun shops and we ate at the popular Gristmill.  It was right on the river and the food was delicious!

After dinner, on the way to our hotel, we had to stop at Chick-fil-a to get a peppermint shake.  I love them!  Then we did some Christmas shopping at Lowe's- for Tyler of course. 

Sunday morning we slept in, had yummy pizza at California Pizza for lunch and then checked out Trader Joe's.  It just opened up here and we have never been to one.  Everyone has been crazy about it, but it just seemed like a regular store to me.  We don't eat lots of organic food, so maybe if we did, I'd love it too.  Tonight after the kids were in bed, we got to watch the Texans game together and they won!

It was a great weekend! 

Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween, Tyler was the Gold Power Ranger and Molly was a ghost.  I made Molly's costume and it turned out really cute. 

Molly was not thrilled with her tutu at first.  Once I asked if she wanted to go get candy, she adjusted to it quickly.

Off to the first house.

Kady- the pink ranger, Tyler -the gold ranger, Colby-a friend from school, and Kyle-the red ranger.

By the end of the evening, Tyler was tired and needed a ride too
