Fall Pics

Our really good friend Sheila took some pics of the boys outside at her house. This is a much better plan than trying to trap Mc in a tiny studio. I LOVE these pics. They really capture Mc's true personality.

McClain roaming the land

This is a JUMP and throwing leaves. He has some ups huh?!

My favorite!

He is such a boy

Why does he look so grown up?

Can't help smiling when you see this

Bubbies. Shortly after this pic, Mc pushed Max away saying he was "heavy"

Precious

outta order

Well when i was creating the posts below i didnt realize that i couldnt rearrange the order until after i published them all. so the below posts are out of order a lil, but you still get the message!

My Boys

Our boys fill our lives with so much more than we ever imagined. I cannot remember what we did before we had them around. Well, I guess I do, but my life seems so much more complete now.

McClain loves to entertain! If he does something that catches any one's attention, he will remember and do it again and again. Unfortunately, the guys are entertained by this...he knows how to get Daddy and Uncle Chris to laugh...haha!

My sweet Max vibrating in his swaddle. He looks so innocent right now, but I know we are only months away from seeing his ornery side!

Whats a blog post without one of Mc's famous serious faces??



McClain loves to love on his bubby. Max loves Mc so much. He just grins at him every time he comes around and watches him constantly.



Daddy Daycare at its best!

Look at that goofy boy! and all those teeth! EEK!

The flash kinda took away from this, but Max grins all the time. Well until he sees the camera then he goes into a trance, so I had to post what grin I could actually catch on camera.

Still rockin the faux hawk!

Lil Chunk after eating! haha!

There is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

Tulsa State Fair

We took the boys to the Tulsa State Fair. It was pretty chilly outside so we stayed indoors as much as possible. McClain loved the petting zoo. He thought the huge pig was sceery, but jumped right in the middle of the petting on most everything else.

He got as close as possible. I mean CLOSE!

He was so proud of himself!

Doesn't he look like a lil boy here?

OU Texas

Well we just ran out of Sooner Magic! As always, we had an awesome time in Dallas, however, the game was too stressful for me and my ulcer and did not produce the outcome we desired. Poor Sam got hurt again and we just didn't have enough magic to pull off the W. Despite the loss, we had a blast with our friends and family. You can tell by these pics, just look....

Friday night. Chris and Amy were waiting in line for their tickets, we didn't leave them ;)

Gators. Its becoming our Friday OU/TX night tradition.

Pregame at the fair. Mike was pumped because he got 2 Heisman autos this trip. Jason White's at a tailgate stop on the way down hwy 75 and Steve Owens at the fair.

Chris got one, too

This the only game pic I like. The others bring bad memories, but I love the divide of that horrible burnt orange and beautiful crimson!

Our pity party....

We got the hookup on sweet suites all weekend. There was happy hour aka FREE drinks for an hour each evening. We just made it back from the game in time...

We ventured out to a sports bar called Ten. We had to be nearby a TV for Jon to watch the Cowboys and for us all to see ARod be the hero once again!

The bar was very mellow and sporty for the first hour or so, but around 11 it kinda turned into a club like scene. It gave everyone their second wind.

Amy, Brent and Lindzer

The girls

Oh PB has some moves!

The Colberts! So glad we got to hangout, even if it was the end of our night!

OOPS!

So I let time get away and a whole month has passed since my last post and in baby time that is a life time!!! So much has happened - here is a very brief catch-up on the boys...



McClain must have learned how to speak in sentences over night! I swear he is a genius! Mike and I went to Dallas for OU/TX last weekend and left the boys here with PaPa and Namaw and Katie. Aunt Michelle had to call in due to Alyssa possibly having the piggy flu :( but she is all better now!! Anyways, when we returned McClain was saying 4 and 5 words together - that you can actually understand and fit together!! He is becoming more of a lil boy and not a baby everyday. It is so exciting and fun, but, also, kinda sad :( I love to watch him play these days. He uses his imagination so much and his personality is HUGE!! He literally entertains us, which is usually groups of 4 or more!, for hours. He has found a new love for "pets" aka Wonder Pets. He will watch the same OnDemand episode over and over and over... Ming Ming is by far his favorite and despite her being girl ducky, we may let him be Ming Ming for Halloween! Is that wrong? It is adorable to hear him sing along with the pets and interact with the cartoon. It is also nice to have something, anything, that keeps this busy body boy still!!! I can now OnDemand Pets and have the ability to mess with Max or do something around the house while the Pets distract our Hurricane!!



Max is the same ole Max, but growing more and more each day. I can't believe he is 3 months old. Once again, so fun to watch them grow, but a lil sad too :( I can make this boy grin just by looking at him. I love that huge smile and squinty eyes. He has been to 2 physical therapy appointments, His therapist says he has a very mild case of Torticollis, his left shoulder to neck muscle is tight, but nothing too serious. We have some stretches to do with him, lots of belly time, and just have to be aware of how he lays for long periods of time.



The boys are so fortunate to be loved by so many people! Two weekends ago, while we were in Norman for the Baylor game, Auntie watched both boys for us! They are good lil boys, but two of them together is never easy. We really appreciated the help and loved that the boys got to spend time with family. And I know they loved it too!!!



Grammy and Poppa are cruisin around right now. You would have thought Grammy was going off to war or something. She actually had tears in her eyes just thinking about leaving her grand babies behind for a whole 10 days! haha! Mc has definitely mentioned them, asking "Poppa go?" and "Gammy house?"



Well, I will definitely try to keep posts closer together, but life at the Masters' house is never slow and always busy.



I have added several posts below with pics!!



Love you all,

"Pumpin" Patch!!

After we got back from Dallas we took the boys to the pumkin patch. McClain learned how to say pumpkin on the way there, but it comes out "pumpin". He had a blast and proved, once again, that he is afraid of nothing, even if he says it is "sceery"! Lil Max just chilled in his stroller the whole time bundled up. Next year he will be in the middle of all this, but right now he is content to be pushed around. I have a feeling that we will be making a few more trips to the patch before Halloween once Grammy and Poppa get home!

Mc got in the mix of the pumpkins immediately

He was checking out the ponies. We weren't sure he would want to ride one, but when we asked he replied "I ride it"

And so Mommy went and got a ticket. I was afraid it was a wasted effort when we first put him on the pony when we got this reaction...


But after a few seconds he was a pro.



He rode no-handed most of the time.

We got him to hold on, but Uncle Chris couldn't get him to wave one hand in the air! He did say "giddy up" a few times!

Mike was disappointed in his pony's name.

Here is Max's experience at the patch!

Mc wanted to pick the pumpkins up and move them around, but really ended up throwing any that he could actually lift.

I guess it was hard for him to move through the pile, so he decided to tummy crawl across.

This boy loves animals. He fed everything all by himself. He thought it was hilarious when they licked him.
