Football Season

Well Austin has had some ups and downs this football season so far.  We have been cheering for the Longhorns and the Highlanders.  The Longhorns have had a good season especially with the big win over OU but had a heartbreaker against Tech.  I believe we lost that game because we went to the Highlander game that afternoon and a Raider touched Austin (Don't tell Dad because he doesn't know) because he is just so cute.  I think we would have won if we didn't get Raider cooties on us.  Austin and I didn't go to many Highlander games because they play so late and it is during Austin's bedtime but last weekend they played an afternoon game on Saturday so Austin and I went.  Towards the end of the game we got to go on the field because we are VIP's...haha.  It helps when Grandpa is the principal.  Austin had a good time and loved watching the big boys play ball.  It doesn't hurt to train them early to love football!!  Haha.   

Having a baby is PRICELESS...

So today Austin, David, and I went to get our pictures done so that we can send out Christmas cards.  We also wanted to get pictures of just Austin for his 6 month portraits to have.  I had a coupon for a bunch of pictures for ten bucks but of course when you get there and see all the cute pictures you want them all and then you are getting more than the coupon covers.  So the lesson that we learned today is go into a picture place with a budget and stick to it...haha.  We love all the pictures that we bought but now we have millions so guess what everyone's Christmas present will be....haha.  It is amazing how much you spend without even thinking about it because you know it will make Austin happy.  Granted a million pictures will not make Austin happy but it makes mommy and daddy happy because we will have pictures to remember him at this age.  Every time I am out somewhere I always end up picking up a little something for Austin.  It may be another package of paci's, a book, a new toy, or any old thing but it's what I do.  Before Austin was born it would be a little something for dad...a football magazine, a favorite snack, or a card that just says I love you.  I still sometimes get little somethings for Dad but always get little somethings for Austin.  Maybe it is because Austin gives great grins and hugs...haha.  It will be nice when baby number two comes because we will have already bought everything and won't be spending money as much as we do now on our little man.

Family Pictures

Last Sunday, November 2, we went to a park in the Woodlands to take family pictures with David's family.  They hadn't taken a family photo since David was a senior in high school so since Austin is now here is was very important that we get a recent family picture.  Austin was very good and of course extremely cute!  David, Austin, and I are going to take our Christmas picture this Sunday so I am hoping that we can have another good photo experience.  I might have to tell Austin that Santa is watching him so he better be good.  Haha.  I say that but really Austin is always good.  I am not just saying that as a bragging and proud momma because others would agree.  I guess GOD really does bless people and I am not sure why he chose David and I with the perfect son but we do feel blessed and very grateful.  Austin still makes me want to have 100's of babies.  Haha.  I still absolutely love being a mom and can't imagine my life any different now!

Friends...

Austin got to have a playdate on Saturday with his friend Caiden.  Caiden was trying to teach Austin how to crawl.  It has been so fun having other babies to play with and watch grow up too.  We get to play with our friends at school but it is nice to get to see our other friends on the weekends too even if they aren't longhorns!  Haha.  

Trick-or-Treat

Austin celebrated his first Halloween this year and because it was a first we had two costumes.  I had originally bought a skeleton onezie and was just going to dress him in that but after some encouragement from many friends I broke down and got him what they would call a "real" costume...haha.  I have to admit though I am glad that I did because he was a super cute shark.  I was hoping that he would be able to help me pass out candy since daddy had to work but instead he decided that he wanted to take his evening nap and make me do all the work...haha.  So I was handing out heaps of candy to the kids and they would leave our house shouting, "She hands out lots of candy!"  Haha.  I told them I had to get rid of all of it or else I would eat it and that would not be a good thing.  When Austin woke up we ate some dinner, played some more, took a bath, read some books, and then went to bed.  It was a very good first Halloween!
