Happy 2nd Birthday Thomas!

Mommy and daddy got Thomas this swingset for his 2nd birthday! He thinks its pretty cool. It took MANY hours to put together and thankfully Pop and Josh got it all together! Thank you Pop and Josh. I love playing on it!


We had a small party for Thomas at our house the night of his actual birthday! He got some cool toys.

The night after his birthday we headed on over to the Mexican Resturant to have a good ole' Mexican party. Thomas had a fit when they put that sombero on him and he also didn't like it too much when they put the chocolate fudge and whipped cream on his face. He got to open the presents from Aunt Babbie and Uncle Johnny while we were there. He got a Thomas the Train computer and puzzle. He was in heaven!

The "3rd" party was at the Zoo. He had soo many friends and family that were there. We got to ride the train, see the animals and had cake and icecream. He had a blast! Thank you everyone that came out to the zoo for his party! I only had a few pictures on our camera but Thomas's Aunt Lori made some amazing pictures of that day!

The last party was a cookout at our house after the party at the zoo, mainly to Thank Josh for helping put together his swingset. The train cake was never cut at the zoo so we had cake and icecream AGAIN! Three days of partying will wear you out!!!

Prize for using the Potty!

Thomas gets a prize when he uses the big boy potty. This particular night he picked a blue ring pop! He had it all over him. Even running down his belly. It took a WHOLE LOT of scrubbing and teeth brushing to get the blue off. That ring pop must have been REALLY good!

Easter Morning

This was Thomas's Easter Basket that the Easter Bunny brought him. He had ALL kinds of goodies in it!

He was so excited about his basket. He got a Thomas the Train and that was the first thing that he wanted to play with.

That sure is a HUGE sucker!

This picture is so funny to me. I was trying so hard to get a good picture of him in his Easter outfit that his Gran worked sooo hard on. He just absolutely refused to smile at me and finally put his hands on his hips and stomped off. This is sooo Thomas!

As you can tell he has been crying but this is the best picture I got out of the whole bunch! Still think its pretty cute!

Haleburg Easter Egg Hunt

After the Easter Egg Hunt in Columbia we headed up to Haleburg to Buster and Darlene's church's hunt. They had a huge blowup slide and Thomas had a blast on it. They hunted eggs and had snacks. What a fun weekend!

Columbia Easter Egg Hunt

My church in Columbia has an Easter Egg Hunt every year in memory of a pastor of ours that passed away with Cancer. Thomas has gotten to enjoy it the last two years. He wasn't really fond of the Easter Bunny though!

Dying Easter Eggs with GG

GG gets the eggs ready to dye every year with Thomas! He loves doing this! She enjoys it just as much!

Flying a Kite!

We went out to Shakespeare one Windy afternoon to fly a kite! Thomas was a little more interested in jumping in the mud puddles than flying the kite. He would hold on to it and then let it go and laugh as Chuck chased after it. Too funny!

Hilton's Party!

We celebrated Hilton's birthday with him at Pump It Up! This was Thomas's first time at Pump It Up and he had a blast. He went up and down the slides all by himself. He and Katelyn would go down the big slide together. They had soo much fun!

Big Boy Bed!

As you can tell, Thomas handled the transition into the big boy bed just fine! He has only fallen off 2 times and doesn't even get out of it when he wakes up. He stays in it until you come and get him. He has done very well with his bed!!

Last night in the baby bed!

March the 15th, 2009, Thomas spent his last night in his baby bed. What a sad day for mommy! I was a little bit scared and a little bit happy about him being in a "big boy bed". These are the last pictures we have of him in his baby bed!

March Snow (3-1-09)

Can you believe it? Snow in Montgomery in March? It snowed most of the day this day. Thomas really didn't like it on his hands. He kept hollaring "Told Told a.k.a Cold"! He did have fun throwing a snowball or two at Daddy!

Bath Time!

What about Uncle Buddy?

On lots of Sundays when we are in Columbia we go over to Blakely to see Uncle Buddy after church. Thomas knows who he is and recognizes him in pictures. At night Thomas and I always say his prayers. It goes something like this " Thank you for mommy, daddy, GG, Gran, nana, pop, KK, Baby O, Aunt Lori, and Uncle Bart Amen!" I kissed Thomas and turned to walk out of his room. He sat up in his bed and said "Mommy, Buddy?" It was like he was telling me that I had forgot Uncle Buddy! This brings tears to my eyes just typing this. How did my 1 year old remember to thank Jesus for my family's precious gift, Uncle Buddy? I promise you since that day we always thank God for Uncle Buddy! We love you Uncle Buddy!

This picture of Thomas was taken outside of the Nursing Home on a Bench. It is probably one of the best pictures that I have ever taken of Thomas. We went straight to CVS and had it printed.

Little Anna's Birthday Party at Build-A-Bear!

Little Anna's Party was at Build-A-Bear this year! Thomas got to make a friend named Omas! Thank you Anna for inviting me! I had a blast at your party!

Happy New Year!

GG and Gran kept Thomas so that Chuck and I could go over to a friend of his from work! We had such a blast. We played Guitar Hero and a couple other games. So much fun! Taking a picture of Thomas like this has become a tradition! We took one last year also! He has grown soo much!

Happy Birthday GG Mexican Style!

We went to eat Mexican to celebrate GG's birthday! Thomas was soo sleepy that he almost fell asleep at the table. They sang to GG, put a huge hat on her, gave her an icecream and even smeared chocolate fudge and whipped cream on her face. It was too funny! Happy Birthday GG! We love you!

LONG Post of Christmas!!!! with LOTS of pictures

Christmas was such a blast this year! Thomas baked cookies for Santa and left milk on Christmas Eve. He was so excited when he woke up (or when we woke him up) on Christmas morning. He ran straight to his John Deere Tractor! He also loved his Thomas the Train tent and his play shot-gun!

Horse and Buggy

We got a little ride around Columbia on Christmas Eve in this horse and buggy. We had sooo much fun! Thomas loved it and we even stopped and let GG come ride with us!

LuLu's Wedding

December 13, 2008 I had the pleasure of being in one of my childhood bestfriend's wedding. Karla or might I say "LuLu" is like a "little" sister to me. The wedding was beautiful. We stayed in this mansion all weekend. It was heaven. Thomas was a little under the weather but by the end of the weekend he felt much better. This is just a few pictures from the wedding.
