Trussell Wedding

Clayton and Lauren got married last Friday and G. was lucky enough to be a part of the special event.

Cousin Addison was the pretty princess flower girl so it was easy to get G. down the aisle. The only hiccup was that he couldn't figure out why she was throwing the petals out of her basket, so he stopped and tried to pick them all up for her! If only he stays this tidy...

Addison and Gregory pretty much ruled the reception, dancing the night away. Here is Gregory's first slow dance with a nonfamily member. Me thinks he prefers blondes!

Rice Football

What a perfectly fun fall day! It was finally cool so daddy, mommy & G went to a football game at Rice. It was Armed Forces Day and Rice was killed (63-14) by Navy, but it was fun anyway.

Here is G and dad watching the Navy band enter the stadium.

There were also a lot of Nasa alums present since most of the people who work there either were in the Navy or went to Rice...go f. Do we have a future astronaut?

(I'll admit, I have my doubts about the whole walking on the moon thing anyway.)

Before the game, G. got to go out on the field and high five the players. Do you see them out there? No, me neither, but they are in the corner somewhere.

Before the game, we also watched the
"Mob" and met Sammy the Owl

We made friends with all our neighbors, played "skateboards" with the boys next to us and had a "grandma" hold G. in her lap. It was such a great day!

First night of homework

So G. had his first bit of homework this week. We were given a blank pumpkin and told to add our own "special touches". As many of you know, I debated about what to do...

Do I make a face?

Do I cut out words and/or shapes and let him glue them on?

I got many cute ideas however, I went with my gut and gave him some letter stickers and told him to have fun!

This is his name. Does it count if he has

the letters out of order?

And the final product...which was really quite fun. Not the most creative, but at least he did it all himself :)
