From the Mouth of a Three-Year-Old

Sorry for the blog slacking. Since Bud has been home we haven't had much access to a computer. Ours is sick and getting fixed right now. We got moved into the apartment at our home church in San Angelo, Christian Church of San Angelo. It's been so wonderful having Bud back. Eli is starting to want to be with him more now. Thank goodness! He was going through a mommy stage where we had to trick him for me to leave if I had to go somewhere. He's getting better though. Maybe he's realizing dad will play more with him and there's a baby on the way. Who knows. Speaking of the baby. Everything is going great. This is such an easy pregnancy. We're so thankful for that. Baby girl sure does like to dance around though. I guess the only thing I wish was different is that I wouldn't crave Mexican food and Dr. pepper so much! I would just like to be eating healthy all the time and well that doesn't help. Oh well. So here's some pictures that are WAY overdue!
When I walked into Amy's house, I thought I was going to just a brunch but when I first saw this, I figured it might not just be a brunch.
Beverly, Laurie, Me, Lisa, Karrie, Amy
The beautiful table spread. They all brought pumpkins decorated girly for the decorations. Kinda giving it a Cinderella and fall feel.
Yummy dessert!
The sweet presents, lots of fun girly stuff!
Here's some pictures from the fall festival at FBC Keller. The dino catching ducks....

And a few pictures from the day after we picked up Bud in Houston. We went with my brother and his family to the Keemah board walk. It was about an hour from their house. Tons of fun.

We rode the train twice, Eli and all his cousins loved it

I still need to put up pictures from trick or treating and going to the Houston Zoo. Soon enough. All is going great, some things changing here and there but I'll update you on that soon. How's that for super vague?! I'm loving the warm weather! We're here another night and then will head to San Angelo tomorrow. We'll be spending most of our time there. Our church there, CCSA, is so gracious to let us stay in their apartment at the back of the church parking lot. It'll be SO great to get our own space and not be living out of a suitcase and in someones house. (not that we haven't enjoyed staying with our family!)
More to come...
Well I've tried several times this past week to get pictures on here and either my parents internet or blogger has not cooperated. So here's an update and one sure to follow after so I can show what we did yesterday. I know Bud is on the edge of his seat to see Eli eating a corn dog and drinking dr. pepper.
A few weeks ago, on a Sunday afternoon, we decided the weather was too beautiful to not enjoy somehow. So we packed lunches, picked up Linda, and headed to the park.
Well this picture is out of order but I don't care since I'm just glad to get pictures on here. Last week there was a day my dad ended up not having to work so they took us to eat at on the border, one of the best places to eat Tex-Mex. We also drove an hour and a half to go to Hubbard to visit my Toomama (Eli's great grandmaw), Aunt Kay and Uncle George. It was a great day. Elisha had fun making all the sweet old ladys smile at the old folks home. And this balloon in the picture was three days of entertainment for him. When it finally lost all its air Eli said "uh oh, bye bye boom" (he narrowed the word balloon down to boom)
One day I was about to pitch a fit for why my sweet baby boy had turned into a little toddler monster. Then I realized he was cutting his two year old molars. Ouch! All the signs were there, I just hadn't dealt with him cutting teeth in awhile and had assumed there was no more madness. He drools rivers around the house, has diarrhea, super fussy at certain times for no reason, and wants to chomp on ice like a pregnant woman. (he also needs a haircut, it grew too fast since the last one so I think this time we're going super short)
I was making eggs one morning and hadn't heard him make a noise, assuming he was watching TV. I turned around when I was finished to find he had quietly, on his own, climbed to the top of the counter and was enjoying playing in the sink.
Another update shortly after this one...
Hi Baba, wanna hear all about my day yesterday?
First mom put me in this really cute sweater that she found in a box out in the garage that my aunt Kim gave me last year for Christmas. Mom got all excited cause it fit me now and it has cute fall colors, whatever that means. But when we got to the pumpkin patch it was so hot and she didn't get any good pictures of me in it.
(this picture is out of order) At the end of the day, Laurie got her turkey leg she'd been so excited to get. I'm sure glad Laurie went, I could tell she had just as much fun playing as I did.
At first I was a bit timid about these characters but then I got used to them and thought they were pretty cool. Aunt Laurie helped me poke my head through this hole.
I saw Buzz and Woody and gave Buzz a hug. His name kinda sounded like what people call you so I thought he deserved a hug.
Check it out! Even the surfer dudes made it to a fall event, guess since it was warm enough
At one point we got so hot and tired but this cup of ice and sugar juice sure helped!
This was before having sugar juice, I didn't want to look at the camera and cooperate but mom insisted since these characters were also on my shirt, I had to check them out to make sure
Then I went into a haystack and walked around aimlessly, I got frustrated
Until I saw mom and I was happy again, she pointed to where I should go, so I listened
And mom was right, I was headed to the end where I got to slide
Then I found what I'm good at finding, a tractor
And we went several times to the big blown up thing that I could jump in. I had so much fun being a monster and bumping into kids
I even saw Barney and tried to give him a pumpkin
We almost had to call you to bail us out
And then we went back to the bouncey place. While mom was about to snap a picture, before she could stop me I bit the rope like a monster, otherwise since it probably wasn't sanitary she wouldn't of let me.
And then we took a break and had this great snack called a corn dog and your favorite drink I remember you talking about, Dr. Pepper. 
I hear my great, great grandma really used to drink it at 10, 2 and 4 everyday and she lived to almost be 100, so I think its good for me too and drank every bit of it to the last drop
And that was my day at the pumpkin patch. I wish you could of been there Baba. Next weekend maybe you'll go with me to the one in Houston called the Dewberry farm and we can go play since I know you'd rather play with me than make me take tons of "cute" pictures with everything.
The End.
He was eating strawberries so we had to take his shirt off since I couldn't find a bib
Go bears! Although we're mostly Cowboys fans. (but in case you didn't know, my dad played for the bears so we have to sport them too!)
He loves riding all around my parents house on this. If I cant find something, like a battery or pen, more than likely its in the seat of this tricycle!
These are pictures Bud sent me. If you're on facebook you probaby already saw these. Bud titled this one "Just a boy with his chicken" (this is Geoffrey)
Mercy, Nelima, Sophie, and Jenifer. Giving the thumbs up, NOT saying gig em
Euni, Daisy, Maurine in the back. Jeftah and Gracie in front
Our older boys, Victor, John, and David
Our little boys, Nehemiah, Eric and Jose
This was a few days before the party, at the mall. Kim and I went with just Eli and Pierce. It was my first chance to buy my sweet pea something.
Eli playing with one of his bday presents. He was feeding Mickey a chip here.
The twins got bikes from my parents but Eli and Pierce were having their share of it.
It was a cars bday party. All the boys were happy with that!
Eli playing with Pawpaw
They each had their own individual cake. Here's Elisha's. Not sure what happened to the picture that shows all four cakes.
Cannon and Pierce blowing out the candles. Cannon and Collin turned 4. Pierce and Eli turn 2.

Eli checkin out his cake
He decided his car made the best eating utensil. He would smash it into the cake then eat.
Or he would dig the fork into the middle of the cake and enjoy
All done!
Thanks cousins for the gift!
I've already got a batch of more pictures waiting to be posted but I'll do that another day. I also have a few Mattaw pictures to put up that Bud sent me. A cold front is apparently coming in and I realized Eli and I have hardly any warm clothes so we shopped till we dropped today, hitting up some great sales. Its crazy to go to the toddler section for Eli's clothes now instead of the baby boy section. Seriously, people talk all the time about how fast their kids grow but you just don't realize it till its yours! More to come...
