"Ok, so I like my food! So what?"

Brazos Puts on a Show (or Two)


There really are no words to describe these 2 scenes. The first one can only be explained as my in-law's doings. As for the church performance- let's just say that Brazos is lucky his daddy didn't light him up like the 4th of July. July in December!!!

December Happenings

Our boys WON STATE!!! It was awesome- except we aren't the Coyotes?...hmmm

Only in Texas!

San Angelo for the State Championship Game







Is there any doubt what gene pool Brazos is out of?







Blu LOVES to eat- like 3-pancakes-at-a-sitting LOVES to eat....I can't quite catch him on video doing his thing but once we do, we'll post- he double fists any food and eats as fast as he can. If you have something he wants or don't feed him cereal fast enought, he screeches like a wildcat- bet you can wait to see that!

Santa Visits Matador



Look this way, Santa.....




Blu meets Santa!
No crying, no screaming, just a look like "you are a really interesting person".....



Brazos fills Santa's ear with requests!

Little Men in Training


He is so cute that I want to go and squeeze him right now but he's sleeping so I don't dare....maybe I'll just get a little fat cheek sugar!








Our brand new Motley County jerseys! Blu is #1 and Brazos is #7 like his daddy....in the good ol' days! I understand that myself and particular few grandparents are the only ones totally fascinated with these 2 kids but you have to admit, they are so cute- our God is a good God to bless us with two beautiful children


Plumber-in-Training

Nothin' sweeter than baby hiney!

Hands off the monitor- no squeezing the butt cheeks!

August/September

Baby Blu Blu
September

Sittin' up in bath tub seat!!




Brazos' First Day of Kindergarten at Motley County!





Old Settler's Parade with a windmill that really pumped water! Matt hooked up a little electric pump for a real "crowd pleaser"....


Give me a chip, brotha!


Our Uncle Tate, Mama's brother, graduated from University of Alabama, (we won't hold it against him! War Eagle!) moved back to Texas and as you can see, we have a lot of fun together- Tate is in law school at TTU!!!





Brazos and I took some time before school started to spend some time together at the Ranching Heritage Center- he wanted to go see the trains, of course!


















Flashdance Washington style


Ok, this is TOO funny for words- Blu is sitting up very well now and he also started some new dance moves but listen carefully for his own interpretation of "dancing on air"!!! HILARIOUS!

Blu and Emmett

We finally got to meet our cousin, Emmett, who just moved here from Colorado. We're only 2 months apart and will no doubt have some fun one of these days!
Emmett belongs to Cody Collier, Ashley's cousin, and his wife Angeline

Look Ma, No Training Wheels!


WE CAN FINALLY RIDE OUR BIKE WITH NO TRAINING WHEELS!! He kept saying he would quit training wheels when he was a "big boy, 6 years old"....but I brought a bike home from Pawpaw Leon in Lubbock and it didn't have training wheels. He was pretty mad at me but his curiosity got the best of him and he had to give it a try.....now I can't keep him from "driving" his bike day and night!

Just Like a Man!


We were all visiting and talking on Thursday morning at the campsite....well, Kerry was telling a story and next thing we know, Blu is sacked out while he's sitting up. It was so funny because Dad said, "I know Blu, her stories put me to sleep, too!" It just goes to show that no matter what the age, our talking puts 'em out!!

The Peanut Gallery


Brazos hung with the big boys at the Redneck Riviera....they decided to watch and announce for the golf tourney going on. Brazos thinks he's a/b 13 now- talk about SAD for mama!!!

Thanks, Big Brother!

Brazos thought he'd be nice and prop Blu up- the poor baby probably got a crick in his neck because Brazos stuffed that huge pillow behind him. It doesn't help that Blu is a little on the large side!

Champion Tball Team and Coaches

Woo Hoo!!! Way to go RAIDERS!

1st Place Locked Up!!!

Brazos was so thrilled to get his "Piston Cup" (he thinks all trophies are Piston Cups!) but not as thrilled as Daddy was for "locking up the Championship"! They won against the other 2 teams- YAY! That's our boy! Brazos ended up with about 7 or 8 home runs for the season- a real standout!

Lady Magnet


While we were camping out last week, SEVERAL times Brazos would come around the bend with a 4 wheeler load of little girls!!! He never came with a load of boys? The little girl in front of Brazos, her name is Rivers...Brazos and Rivers, hmmm?

Eww Wee Mama, He's a Double XL!


Blu's Theme Song!!!
Exer Saucer Time

Blu Blu in the mushroom chair at Brazos' Tball Game

I cannot believe he is 3 mos old! Doesn't he look big?

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!




3 Home Runs in 2 games- I'd say he's destined to shine!

Splishin' and A-Splashin'



I just thought everyone should see why we call our Little Blu "Double XL"! If you haven't heard the song- it is our little 'Biggie Boy' to a T!!!

Summer Trip to Bandera, San Antonio, and Fredericksburg

Brazos and Pop in the pool at Oma and Opa's place- it was SO nice- we want to move in with them!

Hand in hand- takin' the road together

Wildseed Farm at Fredericksburg

(Cute butts, too!)

Blu in the "Butterfly Haus" at the Wildseed Farm in Fredericksburg


This was a newly hatched butterfly that was just getting his wings strong enough to fly. Until they gain their strength, they are not in a hurry to get anywhere and feel no need to fear- little do they know that the Washington boys are "in the haus!" Watch out, little butterflies!





Yes, this is the World's Largest Pancake and Brazos had it for lunch at the OST "Old Spanish Trail" Restaurant in Bandera- he thot he'd died and gone to heaven! He ate the WHOLE thing!







Dude kissin' Dude!









Sea World Splashin'





Flamingo Pool






4 D Pirate's Theater that I had to leave because Blu threw a fit and Pop and Nana had to get Brazos out because he got scared. I'm sure our neighbors weren't too sad to see us go







Sea World- YIPEEEE!








We stayed the first 2 nights in Bandera at Oma and Opa's place- it was so wonderful!!
