The Aquarium

Katy's Aunt K was gracious enough to take us do the Downtown Aquarium recently. CRG was so excited when we told him we were taking him to see the fish. He had a great time and really loved the "choo choo train"!

Right after BJG warned his momma about the attacking tiger, Katy turned around and gave it a swift kick to the face and stunned it. This was the shot just before. CRG wasn't so sure about the ferris wheel (that thing is pretty big), but he still enjoyed it. I really like this picture of Katy and CRG with skyline in the background.
CRG was not going to take his eyes off the white tigers! He wanted to know where they were and what they were doing at all times!

Monday Funday!

Today we start something new. In an effort to be a more regular blogger we implement Monday Funday. I'll be sharing a fun or favorite moment from the weekend before. Please feel free to comment with your favorite moment of your weekend.

Have a great week!

October 9-11, 2009:

We took the morning to head to Weimar, TX. Sound exciting so far? It really was a nice time. We took CRG and BJG to visit their Great-Great-Grandmother!! Yes, I said Great-Great-Grandmother. BJG had never met her and it had been a while since CRG has seen her. My Great Grandmother is now 98 and lives in a nursing home in Weimar. Unfortunately, we don't get out enough to see her. She looked really good and was very excited to see CRG and meet BJG. That's my favorite moment....having our sons hang out with their Great-Great-Grandmother.

In addition to visiting Great-Great-Grandma, we also made a trip to the Katy Rice Harvest Festival. Cousin Avery and Uncle Jim came along as well. We had a nice time walking around the streets of Downtown Katy. Avery and Christopher played a couple of games while Benjamin was being fed. Imagine...Benjamin was hungry. Overall, it was a great time!

Pictures to come soon.

Sorry I'm such a horrible blogger

CRG requested to sit on the toilet and peed today. Woo-hoo!!

Thanks to Aunt K, we took CRG and BJG to the Aquarium and did everything. CRG loved the aquarium, riding the train, the white tigers, carousel, ferris wheel.....the boy had a blast. Katy and I had just as much fun watching him get so excited. Nice running into you Crawley family.

Man, the Ags looked good tonight.

BJG got baptized last weekend. Thank you to all our friends and family who were able to make it. We really appreciate you being there.

Holy cow, I can't believe CRG will be 2 in less than 2 weeks!

Man, the Ags looked good tonight....

Well hello there!

It's good to see you, let's catch up a little bit.


Yesterday, Monday, September, 14th we had quite a scare. BJG woke up for a late night feeding about 1:30am and seemed a little warm. When he woke up for the day around 7:30am he seemed hot so we took his temperature. It came in at an alarming 101.5. We immediately called our pediatrician and took him to her office. Upon arriving, they advised Katy to head to Texas Children's Hospital's ER and called them to let them know we were on our way. **To rewind just a bit, about a week and half ago we took BJG in for a slight fever and congestion. They drew blood and took a urine analysis and everything came back negative.** Our pediatrician told us to be prepared to stay at TCH for a few days. Needless to say, we were quite concerned and scared.

The above pictures were taken in the ER room at TCH. Poor BJG went through blood being drawn out of both hands (the first time it was drawn, his blood clotted so they needed more.), rectal temperature readings, testing for the flu (a hose had to be inserted up his nose), and a urine test (they went and got it instead of waiting for him to pee - OUCH!) There was talk of taking a lumbar sample from his spine, but thankfully it was deemed unnecessary.

After spending our day at TCH, he was finally discharged yesterday afternoon. Remarkably, he continued to have a great attitude and was a trooper throughout the day (minus all the poking) and never seemed to be that bothered by the fever. When we left he had a 100.2 temp. We'll go back to out ped. tomorrow morning for a follow-up. Please keep us in your prayers. We've already been told if the fever is there again, we may be back at TCH tomorrow.


It was nice catching up with all of you. Let's do this again soon.

Time to Potty! Let's party!

We had a monumental moment today as CRG made his first deposit in his potty today. A few weeks ago we thought he was ready to start trying to potty train. He kept grabbing himself so we decided to put him on the toilet. The only thing that came out of that was a large smile. CRG thought it was fun to sit on the toilet, especially when we would give him something to read! =) Fast forward to today....he decided to sit on his toilet. Apparently it took a little coaxing, but he made his liquid deposit right before lunch. What a big boy!!!

Gratuitous post

I've been hammered for not posting anything in the last two weeks so here's a little something to get by.

1. I can't believe in less than 2 months we'll have a 2 year old and a 3 month old. I love my boys.

2. What a wonderful wife I have. Thank you for taking such great care of all of us.

3. Thank goodness for football season. My apologies to all the football widows out there. Get ready for football, Thursday - Monday, until January.

4. Fall temperatures, please come soon.

5. I really hope that we're able to go to MT this fall.

6. I can't believe that school started already. My youngest sister is in 7th grade and a cheerleader this year. The middle sister is a junior in high school and the oldest sister starts her sophomore year of college next week. I hope that all of y'all have a great year. We love you guys!

Our boys

We are very fortunate to have a friend that is pretty good with a picture machine. Thank you so much SG for taking time out of your busy day to come over and capture some precious moments of our boys! BJG was 8 days old when these were captured.

In Daddy's arms.

I love this guy!
Our precious boys.

Our basket of goodies.

BJG loves being in Mommy's arms.

BJG has big feet.

CRG loves his little brother, BJG.

So restful.

Happy!
