First Haircut!

After the Parade on Saturday (Nov. 8th), Thomas got his first haircut! What a disaster! He starting screaming before Kris even started. She did such a good job! All those baby curls are gone. He looks like such a big boy now!

The Peanut Festival Parade

Saturday mama, Chuck, Thomas and I went to the Peanut Festival Parade. Thomas loved getting to see all the tractors, floats, and bands. He thought it was all pretty neat. The coolest of all was when a friend of mine that is a Marine Fighter Pilot flew over the parade in an F/A 18 fighter jet. That was one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. I tried so hard to get it on video but they were on us so fast I think I only got the sound of the jets. That was the highlight of the parade! Thanks Jason!

The National Peanut Festival

We took Thomas to the fair last weekend in Dothan. I wanted to take him last year but it just didn't work out. The fair is so special to me and I have many childhood memories. It is such a BIG DEAL at home. Of course the only night that it rained was the night that we had planned to go and the only night we could go. We went anyway and it actually turned out to be pretty good. We didn't ride any rides because it was so wet but he did get to ride a pony. I thought for sure he would be scared to death but he loved it.

Do I need a haircut or what?

This is the way that Thomas looks when he gets up from a nap. His hair is a HOT MESS!!! I think its about time for a haircut.

Halloween Party at Aunt Donna and Uncle Rick's house!

The Saturday night after Halloween, Aunt Donna and Uncle Rick had a Halloween party at their house for the kids. They had this pool of corn just for Thomas! He had had so much fun playing in it at the pumpkin patch that Aunt Donna and Uncle Rick decided to have it at their party. As soon as I put Thomas in it he layed down in it and acted like he was swimming. He had a blast. Everyone wore costumes, we had a hayride and some games for the kids. We had soo much fun and can't wait until next year!

Trick or Treat!

We went on a hayride trick-or-treating with one of my friends on Halloween night. Thomas had a blast! He caught onto the whole trick-or-treating bit after the first house. He would grab his pumpkin and take off to the door. Soo cute! His GG even got to ride around town with us. It was a little cold but he kept her warm!

Halloween with my Girlfriend!

The cheerleader and the duck got to do some trunk-or-treating the Wednesday before Halloween! They have this every year at Arden's church. Last year the kids were soo little. It is amazing how much they grow in a year!

Halloween at Kindermusik

The week of Halloween the kids wore their costumes to kindermusik. They were all soo cute! We had such a hard time keeping them all seated for a group picture. Think it turned out pretty cute though!

Little Duck!

Thomas was a duck this Halloween! He was the cutest duck that I have ever seen. I couldn't resist trying to get some pictures of him in his costume. The pumpkin he is holding is one of mine when I was a little girl and my mama has a picture of me holding it and looking at it just like he is doing in the picture. Pretty neat!

Pratt Park!

Thomas and I took a trip to the Park in Prattville after his 18 month check-up with Dr. Diebel. He had a blast. This was the first time he had gotten to play on a playground like this. He loved it. He wanted to climb on everything. Think we'll be going again REAL soon!

Coming SOON!!

Once again I have gotten behind on my blogging. This time it isn't totally my fault. My little munchkin decided to work on the USB cord to the camera, so therefore I can't download any pictures. We have a card reader, so as soon as I "locate" it I will update the blog. Check back soon for the new updates!

Dreamfield Pumpkin Patch!

Saturday we went to the Dreamfield Pumpkin Patch in Union Springs. What a cool place! They had so much to do for the little guys! Thomas got to do everything except the cornfield maze, and the cow train ride (they were having malfunctions with the train ride). He had a blast and picked out a very special pumpkin of his own.

What a SAD Day!

On October the 10th we said "goodbye" to our beloved THIS (a.k.a passy)!! Oh what a sad day! Thomas loves his this and blankie very much. When things aren't going his way he would run and get this and blankie. They made all things better. I think I might have been more upset on Friday than Thomas was. Well, at least until bedtime that was. To me this was the last little bit of "babyhood", except for diapers that is. We kept him busy all weekend in hopes he wouldn't "think" about it too much. He did great until went to put him into his carseat. He always screamed as soon as I would put him in his seat, "THISSSSS!!!!". Oh so sad! Say a prayer for Thomas, that he will forget THIS very soon! and say a prayer for his mama and daddy that we don't give in and give it back to him.

Let's Ride again!

We took Thomas to the fair last week. He had a blast and unlike his mama loved to ride. He got on this scrambler boat with Chuck. It made me sick just watching it. He loved it!

Thomas won first place!!

Lori entered this picture of Thomas into the contest at the Alabama National Fair and it WON!!! We were so excited. I wanted to go to the fair just to see his picture. When we walked up to it Chuck asked Thomas who it was and he pointed to himself. It was soo cute. This was the picture that we used on Thomas's 1st birthday invitation. This fishing pole is an antique that Aunt Donna and Uncle Rick let us borrow! I prayed the whole time that 1.) Thomas didn't fall in the lake or 2.) Thomas didn't drop the pole in the lake. We got the exact shot we needed without a disaster, thanks to Aunt Lori and her neice, Hannah!

KK you are soo Silly!

Lori and the kids were at our house a couple of Sundays ago. Thomas and Katelyn had such a good time playing. They played so good together. Katelyn jumped up on the couch with Thomas and said, "Aunt Anna take our picture!". I grabbed the camera and ran over there and just as I snapped it this is face she made. Thomas thought it was soo funny. This picture is priceless!

I love my GG!!!

My grandmother, Thomas's GG (great-grandmother), came to stay with us for a week while Chuck was out of town. While she was there, I took advantage of my time and tried to get LOTS of things done around the house. One of the days I had the carpet cleaned. This meant I had to move all the furniture around and get most of what I could off the floor. Grandma stayed on the screened in porch with Thomas while the men were there cleaning. I looked out the sliding glass door and this is what I found! Precious!!! I wouldn't take this for the world! He loves her soo much and she adores him too!

Riding in the Buggy, Thomas mine, Thomas mine!!

At kindermusik we sing this song called "Riding in the Buggy!" Thomas loves this song. When we sing it we pull them around in a clothes basket. He thinks this is grand!!! We have pulled him around the house, the yard and anywhere else a clothes basket might be! One of our neighbors laughed and said " Do I need to buy Thomas a wagon?". I laughed and said, "No he has a Radio Flyier that his Uncle Jim and Aunt Dell gave him for Christmas but this is the new thing right now!" He absolutely loves this! I have even sang this song in Wal-Mart to keep him happy while I buy groceries!

10 Year Reunion ALREADY?

My 10-year class reunion was this year. We went to the football game on Friday night and then had a cookout at the Hamm's Barn on Saturday night. It was soo good to see old friends and talk about the" good ole days". I haven't seen some of these people since the day we graduated. We had a blast!

Coming Soon!!!

Well, here I go again getting sooo far behind on my blogging. I have so much to post and will post in the next day or two. Check back soon!
