chocolate gravy

 Trevor begged mommy to make him chocolate gravy

for breakfast last saturday. Your not southern if you've 

never had ya some chocolate gravy!! It's the boys favorite

thing to eat for breakfast....it's messy, tasty, and very

unhealthy!! A kids dream!!!  

 Why use a spoon when you have hands??

 OMG!!

I love love this face!! It made me have a flashback....

 4 months old eating prunes!!!!

Trev wasn't quite as messy but still adorable

a few pics I took of my Cruzy

Snow day

 Bundled up ready for our first sledding adventure!!!

We don't have snow suits for the year so we 

improvised. A lot of layers on

Steffany had a hard time getting her socks and shoes

on because of all her clothes and her little baby belly.

If Randy hadnt come to the rescue,she might

still be sitting there.......trying to get those

shoes on her feet.

 Trev's first time down the hill!!

He was so excited to go sledding

he could hardly contain his little self.

He LOVED it!!

 That smile is so sweet.

 The snow was too powdery so we had to

sled in the street. It was great but you would

hit a dry spot every once in a while. Randy

had to give Trev an extra little shove to get

him to the bottom of the hill!!!

 Here comes Cruzer Brusier. As much of a 

dare devil as he his I thought he would enjoy it

 a little more than he did but he was also very

very sleepy and was wanting a nap. We let him

sled a couple of times then Feffy took him to the

truck to warm them both up!! It was so cold!!

 Then Trev played in the snow for a little bit.

Made snow balls..

  and of course his favorite, snow angels!!!

A couple pics of Christmas morning

 This was actually Christmas Eve night but I thought the

picture was adorable!!!!

 Trev beat everyone up in the morning and ran in our 

room shouting "Mom, Mom...come in here!!" "Your 

not gonna believe this." "Santa came and brought me 

a police car!! Hurry hurry, come look!!!"

He was so super excited!! I was a little disappointed

I didn't see the initial reaction. Its the first year we've

missed it but it was still so cute to wake up to him 

running in our room waking us up so happy. 

Priceless!!

 Then bubba woke up!!! He was adorable. The funny

thing was even though he doesn't fully understand 

Santa yet, he knew something exciting was going

on and fed off Trev's energy. He was screamin 

(good screams) and jabbering away. The

kid was pumped up. I don't think he knew what

he was pumped about but he was pumped up!

 He ran in the living room to see all of Santa's gifts

and just stood there for  a minute like WOW!!!!

Didn't last long though. He was quickly in his new

ball pit throwing balls everywhere.

 LOVES his slide. Probably his favorite gift of all.

He did really good for a while then became brave 

and jumped off the top. Face plant!!!! Such a 

little dare devil!!

 Trev got a couple of nerf guns so he and 

daddy can shoot each other!! There was a war in the 

house most the morning!!

Cruz had a blast with all his new toys but also really liked

bubba's police car. He sat in that thing forever just laughing

and playing with Trev. I've got great video!!!!

There are soooo many more pictures I just thought I 

would post a few for now and maybe another day 

post some more!! A couple other things I remember 

about the morning was Cruz somehow managed 

to fall out of his high chair. I was cooking and heard 

a noise and looked over just in time to see arms 

and legs flying in the air. How that kid manages

to do some of the things he does.....

Not but 5 minutes later Trev tries to get his stocking

off the fireplace mantle and knocks the stocking

holder off almost hitting himself in the head. That 

would have been a Christmas ER trip for stitches!!

That thing is heavy!!! Never a dull moment with 

kiddos around!!

All in all Christmas was a magical as it usually is. 

Thank GOD for everything he has done for

us!!!!

It'a a BOY

My baby sister Steffany found out the 

sex of her baby and this is how she told

us. She and her husband tied balloons on 

everyone in the family cars or mailboxes

so when we got out to go to work we 

would see our surprise!! Very clever guys!!!

Right choices corn maze......really late!!!

Back in October the family took a day trip to Right Choices

Corn Maze located in Mo. It's a Castleberry family tradition

to visit the farm every year. The whole family enjoys it. We

usually spend the entire day there and never run out of things

to do. If you live close enough to visit the maze, I highly recommend 

doing so!!

Trevor doing the corn shooters. He hit a bullseye!

Good job baby!!

Tryston and Trevor being well....Tryston and Trevor.

Cruzy baby and mommy going down the potato

sack slide. Mommy didn't move quite as fast down

the slide as the little guys do. So I gave a good shove

every now and then. Cruz loved it! I had to go several

times!! I love having kids. They give us adults an excuse to

do things with them that we other wise would look completely

retarded doing by ourselves.

Trev man went fast! He went down the slide

bunches too. You just can't get enough of 

this thing.

My little Tryston at the corn shooter. Boys and guns???

What is the obsession? lol

Me and my sweet pea. He is sooo much fun. He ran around

the farm all day keeping up with the big kids. He is just so 

cute and little you don't expect him to run as fast as he does.

People were stopping to watch him run around and would

ask us "how old is he?" They were so surprised he was 

only 12 months old!!

All the Grand babies!!

Cruz, Tryston, Ethan, Trynity, Trevor

The annual hay ride!!!

I remember taking the boys last year so well. Cruz was 

only 3 weeks old. He loved the hayride and slept the

whole way. It was so sweet and relaxing. This year I have

to admit I was a little nervous about my very busy little Cruz

on a hayride. To my surprise he did very well. All the kids

enjoyed riding around the farm going through the woods, 

by the river and next to the corn maze.

 

Grant, Tiffany and Ethan

Poppy and MiMi

oops. Kinda blurry!!

This would be why the hayride went better than I thought

it would. About half way through little man gave it up.

Perfect time for a nap!! I could have fallen asleep myself.

The kids went exploring in the cave. So much fun!!

What a princess! They farm has a little hay tunnel

the kids love to run through. Makes for a great 

game of tag.

And the day would not complete without riding

the ponies.

Trevor rides Daisy every year!!!! He for some

reason loves her.

This is Cruz's first pony ride. He loved it. I was trying to make

him act like he was riding a wild horse. I threw his arm up in 

the air and we were counting to 8.

I love this picture of Trevor and I. The background is 

beautiful. We were on top of a "hay mountain." You can

run up one side and down the other and we were wrestling

with each other to get first place and fell down. So

glad mimi was there to get a pic of it!!!

I love this pic. We were trying to get a pic of all the kids

but Ethan and Cruz got up at the same time the same way.

This was as good as we were gonna get.

Cruz had a blast in the pumpkin patch and tried picking 

up every pumpkin he could get his hands on.

Trevor wanted to find the perfect pumpkin so it took FOREVER

to find it. He would find one and choose it then he would spot

a better one. It was hysterical.

I know right. Stud!!
