Year of the Monkey

This little dude was a monkey for Halloween...which was only paraded and seen around grandma and granpas house but frankly I don't think the world was ready for this kind of cute-ness! I find this costume to be very fitting for him. He is, little by little becoming a Curious George and getting into everything! Not to mention he loves bananas like I love chocolate, so this is the year of the monkey for our household.

Girls weekend and first bike ride

This past weekend all the Bernhisel girls went to Atlanta for a girls weekend(plus Bubs). We went the Time Out For Women and had such a fun time, though I spent most the time strolling the hallways with a cranky little guy. I advise all those who want to go to leave the little ones home if possible. But I loved seeing my sisters! and David loved his grandma time

and stealing Annie's binkie, which she didn't think was quite as funny and quickly snatched it back with sass

Lance Armstrong in training?...

...probably not

But we still had a great time!

Our Favorite Pastime

This is Bubs' favorite way to spend his time. He just loves to open the wipes, pull them out one bye one and then rip them into little pieces, sometimes trying to sneak some in his mouth. Little punk.

I really don't let him do this much because lets face it, he could do this all day and I dont' feel like spending more money on wipes just to let him play! But it's just too cute sometimes to see how excited he gets...


He loves to get the wipes or the wash cloth in the bath and like to touch everything in reach with it,sort of like he's scrubbing things clean...like Jake!

And this is what happens when I close the wipe box and he can't get it opened again...

My Boys

Can I just say I love these three boys of mine? I was watching this little cute picture take place and couldn't help fall even more in love with my family! These cuties all celebrated birthdays(sort of) this past week and a half. Lance turned 27, Jake turned 2 today, and little Bubs turned 9 months yesterday!

And with all the birthdays I had to celebrate somehow...so I bought myself a little present:-) So very excited to finally have one of my own! Watch out Martha.

And to celebrate his 9 months he got a flu shot and a little prick on the finger...tis why this is one of the only pictures I have of him not smiling.

Even though it was sad for him to hurt, I thought his little chubby hand with a band-aid on it was adorable, which he bit off 5 minutes after it got put on.

And we can't forget Jake, who got a massive treat for his special day!

As of late...

Baseball season is over for us. Lance had a great season this year, spending the last part of it in triple-A . Scranton is sure not the most thrill-seeking town but it's set up in the "mountains" and just beautiful...mostly. I was a little dissappointed that I didn't see any of my Office buddies out and about. While Lance was there, David, Jake and I spent a few weeks in Fl playing with this binkie/toy stealing cousin of his...she is not as innocent as she looks. But we do miss you Annie-May

We couldn't go to any Gator games while we were there so I took him to see the our other gator friends

Reunited with daddy!

Through all this moving this little guy just does this...a lot better than what his mother does.

On the drive back to TX, we stopped in Pensacola for some beach time. Bubs HATED the water. I mean who wouldn't scream at the tiny waves barely touching your feet...But again, a lot better than his dad crying about the sand being all over. I guess I don't have beach boys.

Jake loved every minute of this little vacation, especially the swans...

And now we're back in Houston for yet another off-season! We have moved into the house we bought last year to flip and sell, which obviously hasn't sold yet. I have a feeling once we get completely settled in, someone will make an offer and we will have to pack up and move....again. This time I will not complain:-) Lance will be substitute teaching at his old highschool(I can't wait to see this) and no its not baseball or PE! Here's to a good off-season!

S.S. Otter Spotter

Bubs and little miss decided to take a ride in the the S.S. Otter Spotter

This way to the pool ladies

FL family reunion

We finally got the three cousins born within a month of each other together! And this is what happens when your cousins are girls...

Thank you David for your dedication to the camera...silly girls!

All three with grandma B!

Again, great dedication little man, those girls are just crazy

Where'd ya go little miss?

All the grandkids together!
