Bad Sweater Party 2008

Kevin and I hosted our first of what will now be our annual Bad Sweater Christmas Party. The combination of horribly tacky Christmas sweaters mixed with great friends and lots of drinks made for a super fun night!

Taylor's 2nd Birthday!!!!

Taylor is 2! We had a great weekend with family and a super fun finger-painting party with all of our little friends. Taylor got a train track set for his birthday and he loves it!

Halloween 2008

We had a great time on our neighborhood hayride on Halloween. Taylor got to meet "the REAL Spider Man" (a friend of Kev's who dressed as Spider Man for a party). He's talked about it everyday since. Taylor was a doctor, Mac was a cowboy and Ava James was a sassy kitty cat. Grandma and Al were here and got to participate in all the fun. Thanks to Mac's Daddy, we had an awesome hayride!

NKOTB...that's right, NKOTB!

I went to the New Kids on the Block concert with all my childhood friends on Friday night. It was AWESOME! The music and drinks were so good, I seriously thought I was in the 4th grade again. We took a nasty, ghetto, straight-up HS, prom abused limo from Kyle to San Antonio for the concert. These guys can still kick it like no other washed-up, 40 year-old, boy-banders can! Oh and the concert was literally 100% chicks between the ages of 27-32. It was all awesome!

Taylor's First Day of MDO

Taylor started a mother's day out program at a church near our house. He was apprehensive at first, not to mention life has been pretty hectic the last couple of months. He's liking it now though. He brings home a painted picture everyday and loves getting his backpack in the morning. I pick him up in his red wagon and we walk home and talk about his day.

Gustav Evacuation

Here our some pics from our Hurricane Gustav Evacuation adventures! We left BR on Sunday, August 31 and got back on Sunday, September 14. We were in Austin for the first week. We had lots of fun with BB and Paw Paw and all of our Austin friends. We ate TONS of tex-mex and loved every bite!

Taylor and I got bored one day and decided to drop in on a Little Gym class. Jack Ingram was in our class with his son and we got to meet him and take our pic with him. It was awesome!

The hurricane hit BR on Monday September 1. It was the strongest hurricane winds in BR metro history. Our house was spared with only fence damage.

We thought our power would be out through mid-September so we decided to head to Lubbock for a week. We got to hang with the Robersons' and enjoy being in Red Raider land. It was great and Taylor got to go to his first Tech football game. He LOVES Raider Red.

Here's some pics from our journey.

Trip to Minnesota!

We had a great time on our trip to MN to visit the Loeffler's. We got to go the Mall of America and a Vikings game...actually just half of a Vikings game! We miss Jardin and Landyn and look forward to seeing them in Austin.

Tracey Family Road Show...coming to a town near you!

I'm in the process of setting up this blog and ditching our url (www.kevinandsunny.com). But in the mean time I thought I would post our latest excellent adventure(s).

We've been out of town more than 50% of the last two months! My kid has more frequent flyer miles than any two year old ever!

July 25-29: Sunny and Taylor go to Austin for thier quarterly visit.

July 30-August 9: All three of us headed to Napa for a little vaca/family get-together, then to Portland for our annual visit with Kev's family and friends.

August 15-18: Dallas for the christening of the lastest Berry Baby. Our first God Baby and he's precious!

August 29: Evaucated for Gustav to Austin...

September 8: Still evacuated, so we headed to Lubbock for golf, good friends and a football game! We'll be here until Sunday hanging with the Roberson's. This is Taylor's first trip to LBK!

Seriously...I hope my poor kid remembers our house!

Luckily, our house was spared by Gustav, but most of our neighbors were not as lucky. Lots of downed trees and extensive roof damage. We were very glad we left last minute as opposed to sticking it out.

Oh, and we're celebrating our 5th anniversary on Saturday!

Happy, Healthy and on the road,
The Tracey's
