Here are some pictures of how we spent Melissa's Birthday on December 5th. I titled the blog so informatively as based on the shots provided, you would have no indication it was her special day otherwise. We went to the monstrosity that is the Galleria Mall in hopes of finding her a solid pair of jeans or a purse. Instead we went to the Lego Store, Disney Store, candy store, the infested mall playground, saw Santa, etc., etc.

Deacon the Rocker...
NERD, NERD, NERD, NERD!!!
Melissa decided to adorn the boy in Newsie-esque attire. Not sure how I feel about it but he seems rather pleased with himself. Just when you think Jetty-Bear can't get any more likeable he hits you with a haymaker of his signature personality.

a few random shots...
Jett sits up now. He's even starting to crawl. Lower body isn't heavily involved but his massive upper body strength has got him covered. He has been found to be the most delicious snack for mosquitoes in the greater Houston metropolitan area.
Xavier is reading like a champ and colors well within the lines. His T-Ball team also just picked up their first post-season win (yet another Texas moment...playoffs for T-Ball!).
Deacon almost exclusively hangs out with kids twice his age. He then proceeds to tell them what to do. He also has developed very strong opinions in regard to music. The heavier the better (Kiss t-shirt is simply for effect...like his dad he thinks they're terrible).
this is halloween...
The Bells take few things seriously. The making and consuming of hootenanny on a Sunday morning, music rotations in the car, and of course executing a perfect trip to Disneyland due to much planning and preparation. When it comes to the holidays, Halloween just about gets top billing...so we don't mess around.
Getting ready to take on Billyboy and his droogs:
Hocus Pocus Pops...one of the many free activities available in The Woodlands. They're playing "Psycho".
"Trunk or Treat"
"Boo at the Zoo"
"I am not a Frankenstein. I'm a Fronkensteen!!!"
Officially Trick or Treating...finally...
Not sure why Melissa made Deacon's face look so "fancy"...Sephora called...they'd like their bronzer back...all of it...

Life has been busy!
I have good reasons for not updating our blog since June. I promise. I know that we are all busy people. I'm not claiming that I am the busiest person or anywhere even close. Maybe I am just really bad at time management. Either way, I do want to keep up on the blog because if I don't, it's like it never happened. Q hates it when I say that, but it's true. That's the only way I get him to take pictures. I'm right though. If we get dressed up and I do my hair I want there to be proof. Tonight I decided to sacrifice a few hours of sleep in exchange for an up to date blog which is the reason for the rambling. I'll stop now and allow you to browse through some random pictures.
T-Ball has taken over our lives. Three nights a week and a game on Saturdays. It's pretty intense. We are new to all this. Texans do not mess around when it comes to sports, school and barbecued meats.
Xavier has a lot of fun playing and looks pretty dang cute in his Yankees uniform.
A picture of Jett and I cheering on X-Man in the stands. (P.S. whenever my babies turn six months old, more than half of my hair falls out. It's so sad. Anyone else have this happen to them? Aside from joining the hair club for men is there anything I can do?)
Who wouldn't want to pet this giant tortoise?
Don't you just want to kiss this happy little guy?
Q's growing his hair out....not just on his head but on his face too. Personally, I think he looks hot with a little scruff.
If we aren't at a T-ball game, you can find us at the gym and then at the pool. This Fall weather has been amazing!
LOVE these four boys!!!
Had the chance to watch my little brother's band play. They are on tour right now. It was such an amazing show. I can't believe how talented he is! I'm so proud of him!
I'll leave you with this sweet face. I am a pretty lucky lady that this is what I get to wake up to every morning!
