DANCING!

Aggie Football...again!

We've spent a lot of time at Aggie football games this season... so here are some pictures of us in Aggieland again on October 10th. Here's Kaleb getting ready for the game!

All smiles...ready to go see the Aggies!He loves to watch the Corps march in. Sat on the curb through the whole thing...

The boys (Kevin and Buck) introducing Kaleb to Bottlecap Alley...

Playing near Kyle Field...

My husband and I... (We don't get many pictures together anymore!)

Kaleb took a picture of himself! One of my favorites!

Our tired little Aggie about 3 minutes after we got in the car!

And he was still wearing his "stickers"!

State Fair of Texas

On Saturday, October 3rd, Kaleb and I both experienced the state fair for the first time. We only stayed a couple of hours, but had a great time. Kaleb's first ride was the carousel...

Kaleb and daddy took a ride in the teacups...

Here are Kaleb and James getting ready to go farming...

Feeding the goats in the petting zoo...

And it wouldn't be a true state fair experience without cotton candy! He wasn't sure what to do with it...

After the fair, Mimi and PaPa kept Kaleb while Kevin and I went to the Aggie game at the new Cowboys Stadium.

The view from our seats!

Scoreboard while we were ahead... (we'll just leave it at that!)

It was a great day, but too short of a weekend!

Gig 'em Aggies...Whoop!

On Saturday, September 26th, we headed up to College Station for the day to spend some time in Aggieland! Our first stop on campus was to see the Aggie ring that our friend Zaab helped make. It was an awesome sight. Kaleb and Daddy...

The whole family...

What is really neat is that before the ring was sealed, Zaab made this plaque that says "THE 7" dedicated to the seven guys from college that were always close, and he placed it inside...

On the back of the plaque, he wrote all of our names... (mine is spelled wrong, but it's me!)

This was a "CHEEEEZZZEEEY" smile I got!

Our little Aggie! Whoop!

Kaleb's First Hair Cut!

We finally gave in and took Kaleb to get his first hair cut on September 13th. We took him to Cool Cuts 4 Kids hoping it would be very kid friendly and they would be patient with him which it was and they were! Here he is before his haircut playing with the trains and waiting for his turn.
He got to sit in a little fire truck! Here was the first cut!

He handled it all pretty well! Looked around quite a bit and pushed her away a couple of times, but all in all, did very well!

Smiling at Mama!

And the "after" shot... happy as can be...

Our digital camera was in the shop when we took him, so the pictures were taken with a disposable camera and aren't the best, but it did the job! We'll post more soon!

Introducing Baby Bernat #2!

That's right...baby #2 is on the way! This was the first ultrasound done at 8 weeks. All you can see is a small white spot. That's our baby!

We had another ultrasound done at 10 weeks and here's our little baby! Looks more like a baby now! It was really neat to see all the body parts...head, arms, legs, hands, and feet! And especially the strong heartbeat! On the left side you see the head, and on the right there are two white dots...those are the knees. Along the bottom and under the head you see a white line and that's the arm. Relaxing already with their arms above the head!

Everything is going great! Mom and baby are doing wonderful. Much less morning sickness this time around! Daddy is excited! Kaleb has no idea what's going on, but will be a good big brother when the time comes! We expect our new addition sometime around April 10, 2010 (if they cooperate unlike big brother)!

back to school update...

Kaleb has had a great couple of weeks back at school. I think he actually likes going to school more than he did staying home all summer. He's got kids to play with and keep him entertained. I was a little worried about the nap situation, but it didn't even seem to phase him. He naps on a cot with his pillow and blanket (no blankie!) without a problem. They also give him his milk at lunch instead of just before nap and he took that change just as easy which makes it much easier for Mom and Dad. Ms. Maria says after they all lay down, Kaleb will always get up and come give her a hug and kiss and go lay right back down. If he wakes up before the others, she said he does really well just laying in his bed until time to get up. So that's good to hear.

Every evening we talk to Kaleb about school and ask him how it went and what he did, just to see him think about it. He'll usually say "eat", "Christian", or "Fanny". Well, on Monday he had to think about it really hard when we asked and all the sudden he said "Apple!" He was really excited about it, but followed that with something about "eat" of course, so we had no idea what he was talking about. Then on Friday, his teachers sent home his work for the week and he had made an apple at school! I showed him the work and he said "Red!" And it was...all of this week, they had worked on the color red!



Another story about this kids incredible memory...(or maybe we just really traumatized him) Last night we went to eat, ran to Babies R Us, and then had to make one last stop at Best Buy. Kaleb was getting fussy by this point, so I decided to stay with him in the car while Kevin ran in the store. The whole time Kevin was gone, Kaleb kept telling me "mama"... "crabs"... "git you"! He kept pointing out his window, but there was a car parked next to us, so I couldn't figure out what he was pointing at. This went on for a good five minutes over and over again. When Kevin got back to the car and started pulling out, I was telling him about Kaleb talking about the crabs. Right then, in the same parking lot was Red Lobster! The same restaurant where he freaked out about the crab on Kevin's plate. And from where we were parked at Best Buy, he could only see the back of the restaurant. We have only been there once, so I have no idea how he knew, but he definitely knew.


And one more story...what can i say...I'm proud of the boy! We went to clean out our storage building this morning and get the last of our things. Kaleb was playing in the garage while Kevin and I were unloading. From the car I heard him count....1....2.....3...4......5! Yea!

We just can't believe all the things he's learning! We're very proud and excited for him and can't wait to see what the future brings!
