Halloween and a weekend at Mommo's

For Halloween, Keller was once again a figher pilot. At first I felt bad because he was a fighter pilot last year, but then I realized it was okay because Keller wanted to be a pilot again. He idolizes his Uncle Tanner and the flight suit fits him so well why not get the use out of it while we can. Keller really got into Halloween this year and had a blast trick-or-treating....for about an hour. Then, he decided he was tired of walking around and wanted to go home to hand out candy instead. That is where the fun truly began. He loved handing kids a handful of the candy and telling them, "Here ya go. Your're welcome." before they even had a chance to ask for it. So cute.

In November we also had a nice 2 week period when our water heater out  (thanks for the wonderful earthquakes we've been having) and we had to wait for a part to come in for it to be fixed. We spent one weekend in Pauls Valley at Jed's parent's house. While there we made a scrumptious dinner from Barefoot Contessa. Keller is going to follow and Jed and my's footsteps and love being in the kitchen. This little boy loves to cook. On Saturday night he helped Rita and I roll out biscuits for dinner.

He even cut the biscuits himself! Twelve times he did this!


On Sunday, we took Keller to the movie theatre for the first time and went to see Puss in Boots. It was pretty cute. I was very worried if he was going to sit through the movie at first. He did get pretty squirmy, but once I went and bought him popcorn, he sat through the entire movie! After the show we walked around downtown Pauls Valley and there is the cutest gift/candy store called Jingle and Jangle. For a couple bucks kiddos can decorate there own cookie or gingerbread house with icing and cookies. Seeing as how Keller is only 2, we decided a cookie was a good option instead of an entire gingerbread house.
He caught on pretty quickly and loved squeezing the icing out on the cookie.
Decorating the cookie with the candy was more of a challenge because K was more interested in eating the candy rather than putting it on his cookie.

Finally, though, we were able to convince him to decorate the cookie and here is the finished product.

Terra Verde sings at Rivermont

I say it all the time, but I will say it again--we are SO HAPPY that we have found Terra Verde Discovery School for Keller to attend. This year has been amazing. We have gone from having a child who HATED going to school everyday the last two years to having a little boy who can't wait to get there in the morning.  His teacher, Ms. Lindsay Berryhill, is an amazing woman who has gotten Keller to tune in and love learning.  Among the wonderful things he has done in first grade this year, including learning Mandarin, having a lemonade stand to earn money to build an animal hospital for dramatic play, visiting The Orr Family Farm, having a manners lunch at Charlestons, and many more things, he also had the opportunity to sing Christmas carols with his 89 other school mates at Rivermont Retirement Home.  The seniors at the home were so entered by these children and we were truly impressed with how well they all behaved. The singing was excellent, but what was truly inspiring w...

It's been ENTIRELY too long!

Clearly Keller is distraught that it has been so long since my last posting. It has been almost two weeks since my last blog post. These last two weeks at school have been so busy that when I come home at night the last thing I want to do is get on the computer. Plus, working so much has not left me ample time to get good shots of Keller. When we're playing and he does something funny I never have the camera around. However, as a good change of pace I do have some good video taken from this weekend. My mom keeps Keller 2-3 days a week and for some reason she decided the boy does not have enough toys. As if...(haha, throwback to Clueless). So, she decided Keller needed to work on being the next Tiger Woods (before all the you know). Anyway, this is Keller with his very first set of golf clubs. At first glance, he seems like a natural... Doesn't it look like he hit the ball right into the cup and is now getting the ball out of his hole-in-one? We he did get it in the cup ...
