"What? Even gangstas like to read, Mom."

Shaun and I getting away for a night at the Ritz! Nothing like curling up to a movie in your fancy ric-robey:) We love to make sure we take advantage of all the amenities.

Big Man's first hike! We were walking down the trail and all of a sudden Shaun stops. There is a brown snake curled up right beside up--staring right at us! I was so freaked out. I'd obviously not been catching up on my "Survivor's Guide" lately.

Trey meets cousin Jenny at our Hunter family lunches. Love that this is our new thing, Aunt Gaynell! Great idea!

That's right! Trey was officially the youngest voter at the Crozet Elementary School location.

Me and my sweet little horsey trotting threw the Lawn on Halloween. We were representing our church--handing out info, and doing a little trick-or-treating ourselves. Unfortunately, I think they figured me out, when my child was asleep, and Mom was still asking for candy. Oops--anything for a whopper;) Haha, just discovered I like those puppies.

This was Biggie's first walk facing forward! What a stud!

"Hey Bella, I was wondering if you think this makes me look taller?"

"Thanks, cousin Anita, for my blanket! I love it:) "

"ahhh, it's been a tough day. Just want to kick back and relax in a nice bath."

Thank you, Bella for my super cozy and warm outfit! Dinner mint, anyone?

Stay tuned for more. Thanksgiving pics to come...

So, I'm still trying to master the art of consistent blogging, but I'm hoping that we'll get it down soon enough! And, I think I mention this every time, but I love, love, love the comments! If someone knows a way to set up notification that someone has updated their blog, commented on ours, that we've updated ours, or a way to "follow" other blogs--I did it for one, but can't figure it out for others. Yikes! All of a sudden I'm becoming more and more technologically outdated! Someone help, please:) 

Anyway, here are a few random playtimes and family events!

Working on my abs during a little airplane time:)

Holding his head up so proud and strong! 

Trey's working on a new look for his portfolio. Shay, let us know when you think he's ready for one of your style shoots.

Precious.

Sept. 26 at the Depot Grille in L'burg for Big Papi's 50th B-day Party! Trey is grilling that cake! So great to see our favorite Muros!

Grammy made it pretty easy on him just giving him two candles to blow out. That cake was beyond delicious, btw.

Aww, look at us! The whole Redgate Fam! It was so a great party:)

The other night I pulled in the driveway from my Mary Kay meeting and saw something taped to the door. Shaun and Trey and done a special project during "Guy's Night". On the door was a picture of my two guys holding the sweetest note to Mommy:) 

"It's Bath Night!" This is how we get the wee one excited about his bath times. I think he looks pretty fantastic in his rick-robey! And with his matching alligator slippers (or some cute animal like that;) ) Thank goodness he likes shoes--this child has a bigger shoe wardrobe than his Bella!

It's the Big Man. Loving the camera as usual.

Oh my goodness! I'm so stoked that thecvilleredgates have followers! Thank you all so much for the comments--too fun! And now that I know you're watching I'll have to be that much more diligent to keep you up to date--gotta keep the fans happy;)

I'm surprised the boy still has toes as much as I munch on them all day.

Here are a few more of Trey's baller shots with Daddy:) This is his very first basketball from Uncle Marky Mark--Thanks, Hildy!

He's got the look of intensity down-pat.

Such a proud Papa!

Thanks to Aunt Pam's beautiful photography skills we have this gorgeous photo of the sweetest boy we know. This was taken at Chrissy's wedding--hence the tux in the background:)

"You talking to me? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?"

hmmm...contemplative as always

It's the Trey Man at 8 weeks old! What a big boy:)

"We don't play no games."

It's bathtime with Daddy! I came home from my Mary Kay meeting, and Shaun had given Trey a bath by himself! Is he the greatest Daddy or what?!

It's me and the big man! Just getting a quick hug in...one of our favorite ways to pass the time in the day;)

Just one of the many tough shots during Trey and Shaun's Baller Photoshoot;) Do we have some intensity or what?! Trey says, "Are you trying to roll up into my court?!"

Here we are...our little family...celebrating Christina and Evan's nuptials on the eve of their big day!!!

Ok, so I'm finally able to throw a few pictures up here. Can't wait to add more and give some more stories!
