As much as I would like to forget the result of last weekend, the trip and events around the game were fun, so I'll say a few words. Last weekend we made the trip to College Station for the big A&M vs. Texas Tech game. Yes, that's right ouch! The game of course was a heart breaker and I get so involved in the games that I swear sometimes it upsets me as much as it does Kevin. Maybe that is because I just want to see him excited and having fun and with a loss that is sometimes difficult. We decided to head to College Station on Fri night so we left Klayton at home with Grandma and Aunt Laura. We had a great Friday evening out with Robyn and Thaddeus and woke up early Sat morning to begin the tailgating. All of Kevin's college buddies were coming to the game so it was great to visit with everyone. As I looked around at the tailgate I realized how we are all growing up so fast. There were children everywhere. Really quite amusing. Guys holding bottles (one of milk and one of beer), Grandma's pushing strollers, and Mom's chasing little ones. What fun! We really missed Klayton on Sat. morning but know there would be no one he would make it through the game so tried to enjoy a few moments with the two of us. Like I said, the game was a heartbreaker but we made it back to Austin and tried to move on.
Luckily Kevin had a golf tournament out of town for a few days so he got to escape some of the comments but that left Klayton and me at home to attempt the transition from formula and bottle to whole milk and sippy cup. Yikes! Klayton has taken so quickly to everything that I was not expecting a battle. Wrong! He has beend drinking water out of a sippy cup since he was 5 months so why wouldn't he drink milk? Wrong! We've tried new sippy cups, we've tried trainer cups, we've trained regular formula in a sippy cup but no luck yet. I am trying to stay calm but admittedly it is a little frustrating. All the doctors say that when they get hungry enough they will drink out of the sippy cup but they don't say that he will be so fussy that you will give in before he does. We have not given him a bottle during the day in 10 days and no bottle at night for the last 2 and still no luck. (Granted we are not starving the kid, he eats great at meals and we are pushing yogurt and cheese so he gets lots of milk products.) I guess we will try to remain patient and hope for the best.
This weekend it was my turn to be out of town. I had a bachelorette party and spent Sat. night in Houston with girlfriends. A&M survived, Kevin survived, Klayton survived, and I survived (barely) . I guess that means all is well on the homefront. Here is a picture of Kevin and Klayton walking to the mailbox. Oh I almost forgot. Klayton got new tennis shoes and he is such a grown up little boy. Sorry only one picture for the week. The next few weekends are weddings and Klayton is supposed to walk down the aisle at Laura's so that should mean a few pictures.

Hey Kelly your baby is growing up so fast I bet you can't believe he's already 1. Ari's about to be two and I keep thinking were is my baby!!!! Next time you all are at a game in CS let us know. I know Arianna would love to have cousin Klayton over...and I also know how much of a burden you think it is to have others watch your children. I think that all the time but just so you know we would be more than happy to. That way you wouldn’t miss him so much… if you want him to hang out at the tailgate we could pick him up and have him over... Just a thought. Take care.
Yes he is growing very fast. Where does the time go? Thanks so much for the offer. We might have to take you up on that.
