Christmas Party Time

We went to Dan's work Christmas party and the kids got a present from Santa. Thankfully Connor still believes even though older kids were trying to ruin it for him. Eliana says she wants to see Santa and then runs the other way when she sees him.

Eli with her new Dora and Boots backpack. She wouldn't take the thing off!!

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

Dallas Mavericks game

Dan won tickets to a Dallas Mavericks basketball game (suite seats), so he took Connor with him and they had a blast!! Connor loved the free food and comfy seats. Dan excited to be in the "balla" suite

Daddy/son time

The special elevator they got to take up to their suite

Santa's Workshop

We went to the Bass Pro Shop for their Santa's Workshop Event. Their whole store was all decked out and the kids loved it!! Well, Connor more than Eli, but that's ok. This was Connor's favorite thing. A huge shark that he didn't want to take his head out of!

Eli didn't like the carosel so much....

Connor on the other hand loved it!!

Eliana also wanted nothing to do with Santa, and Connor was being a little shy. Oh well!!

Rangers game

We went to a Rangers game as a family and had a blast!! We saw a grand slam and a marriage proposal! The kids loved all the snacks and doing the wave. A home run ball landed about 3 rows down from us and Connor was so mad that he didn't get to catch it. Maybe next season!!

My kiddos in September

Pudding mess!!!






Eliana is now 20 months old. She insists on sleeping with her pillow, blankie, kitty, gloworm, and 2 bears. She also brings them out to the living room every morning.

Connor with his class at the nursery rhyme concert.

Little Boy Blue. He got to blow his horn and everything!!

Eliana talking and singing

Here is a video of Eliana at 20 months old. She is very into play jewelry right now and calls them her pretties. She also loves to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" which sounds like "winkle, winkle". She is such a talker!! She blows kisses at the very end too.

It's a boy!!

We found out today that baby #3 is a boy for sure. Dan is over the moon, and Connor is so excited!! He was looking at the ultrasound pictures and saying, "wow. I can't wait til he comes out." Dan says this way Eliana will be protected by her brothers and hopefully deter any suitors!! I am happy too. Ready to shop and pick out a name.

16 weeks pregnant

Here is the first belly shot of baby #3 at 16 weeks along. We find out on Sept. 9th what we are having!!!

First day of Kindergarten

So my first born is grown up enough to start school. I can barely believe it, but I know I have to because it's a reality!! He did really great and I was the only one that teared up! He did say the next morning, that he didn't want to go, because it takes too long. So far, so good!!


Connor and one of his best buds. We were glad he knew someone in his class!!

So glad that Dan got to go too!! He had to force me to put the camera down and walk away.

His cubby

He was excited to be a Boren Bear!!!

Bun in the oven!!

I am 12 weeks pregnant with baby #3. We are surprised, but excited for the new addition. He/she is due Feb. 8th, 2010, but with 2 January babies already, we're thinking we are in store for another one!! We will probably find out the gender, because I like to plan and am not a terribly patient person!!

In my parents pool in SA

They looked so cute in their goggles!! They were even doing cannonballs into the water!

We went to Joe Pool Lake which is about 10 minutes from our house. The guys set us up a great shaded area near the water. The kids had a great time playing in the water and collecting cool looking rocks.
