Winter Holiday Time

It's virtually impossible to get a picture of Trippy since he has begun crawling!!

But Walker squeezed onto him and I got one!!!! I could eat my boys up in their matching footies!!

Tripp at 10 Months

Trippy at 10 months is so FUN! He has such a sweet and social personality. This month we have new teeth! His front top tooth has come in and the one next to it is as well. We are still not crawling, but SOOO close! He gets on his hands and knees and tries so hard, but not quite ready yet. He is saying Mama and Dada and says Ba for Ball, Brother, Bottle and Bath. Speaking of bath, he LOVES it!!! He gets so excited at the mention of bath or just going into the bathroom thinking he is going to take a bath. Sleeping is still going great!! Two naps a day and sleeping 11 to 12 hours at night. I am so glad I have been consistent about sleep training...it definitely pays off in the end and we have a happy, well-rested baby boy! Eating is also still going great...he has never tried anything he didn't like. His newest favorite is anything with cheese or dairy...cheese slices, yogurt, and cottage cheese he gobbles up. He also loves PEAS...who'd have thought...lol!

Mom, this football is just too tempting....I can no longer just let it sit nicely by me so you can get a picture...I have to grab it and of course, try to put it in my mouth!!!


Uh oh...I was so excited holding the football and playing with it and I dropped it off the chair...I better be careful or I might fall off too!!! Boy, getting bigger is lots of fun:-)

Thanksgiving Feast at PreSchool

HUM School Annual Thanksgiving Feast for the 4/5 year old classrooms...

The students entered the gym and parents were already seated. They walked in so nicely and proceeded to the front and sang Thanksgiving songs for us. It was precious!!! They were all decked out in their Thanksgiving costumes too:-)


The costumes they are wearing, they also made themselves in the classroom.

After the song presentation, we all got to have lunch together with food that the boys and girls helped prepare in the classroom...Beef stew and here Walker was enjoying his cornbread pancake!! Daddy behind him looking around at all the other parents and kids.

Professional Portraits: Walker 4 years and Tripp 9 Months

Halloween 2009: Tripp's 1st!

We had a fun time on Tripp's 1st Halloween and our first Halloween in our new house. A few weeks before Halloween I asked Walker what he thinks his brother should be for Halloween and he replied, "candy." I thought that was really cute and couldn't resist! He is our little Tootsie Roll and I often say that I could just eat him up!!! Walker knew a long time ago that he wanted to be a baseball player for Halloween. I just love how Trippy is reaching his arm over to his brother in the picture.

Walker and his friend, Brooks, getting ready to go Trick-or-Treating. Aren't they handsome little fellows!

And off we go to get some candy! Mommy and Ms. Karen stayed with Tripp on the front porch and gave out candy while Daddy and Mr. Charlie took the boys out.

Walker and Tripp in their costumes before all the festivities began. Mommy was very happy that the boys cooperated and gave her some cute pictures!

This is Walker's classroom at school. The top picture is when they were leaving to go visit other classrooms and Walker got to be the line leader! He is having a great time at school and is learning so much every day! We are so glad he has been a part of this school since he was 1!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We didn't get to make it to the pumpkin patch at the local farm, but we went close by and picked out some pumpkins on a Sunday morning. The boys had a good time and we got some cute pictures, so Mommy was happy!

Oh yes, I found the hay. It didn't take me long!

Cheese!!

What a handsome young man...if I do say so myself.

One word comes to mind...precious!!

And I found some more hay Mommy!! I just can't resist picking it up and playing with it and putting it in my mouth. I'll be okay though I promise!

Out and About

Brrr....it's getting cold outside!! Why has mommy put this hat on me and now she is taking my picture?? I guess I am just too adorable!

Walker getting ready to go to the Predators game with Daddy. Have I mentioned how much he LOVES sports...all sports...really...truly! We will have a full schedule in a few years if he plays all that he says he wants to play:)

My first time in the shopping cart without my old infant carrier!! I am getting to be such a big boy! There was a nice breeze this day and I just love feeling the wind against my face.
