We Absolutely Love Being Outside

The park is pretty much Case's favorite place to be right now...

He's probably looking for worms to eat in this one....

Sharing :)

Love it.

Bye Bye Mohawk!

So, I realize I'm a tad bit behind on posting, and seeing that Thanksgiving is only days away, and Christmas is fast approaching, I figured I better get a move on in updating before I am months behind!

Here's one of the things you have missed...

Case's very first Hair cut!

We were a little bit worried, but that sucker is one fantastic distraction device :)

I don't think he even realized what was going on...

...and the drool was everywhere, he didn't quite get that you close your mouth around the sucker...

Wish my hand wasn't in the way on this one, but you can still see his big boy hair cut!

Boys will be Boys...and sometimes that means just plain gross.

After running a few errands, Case and I decided to go down to the park again since it was such a beautiful day. I brought our lunch down, and watched him play, climb, giggle, and explore.

Well, I took my eyes off of him for literally thirty seconds, and when I looked up he was chewing on something. I squeezed his little cheeks, and I found something gray and slimy...he slipped it out of his mouth like a spaghetti noodle, and there it was. HALF of a worm. HALF as in my son has bitten the worm in half and swallowed part of it.

Oh my.

Our Little Farmer!

We celebrated Case's first Halloween this year!

(Last year he was only about 5 weeks old so we didn't make a big deal out of it)

The UK Football game kind of trumped the Trick or Treating traditions, usually my sister and her family walk around their neighborhood, and we had planned to join them but this year Tim took the boys, Cy and Griffin to the game, and so Amy and Avery joined us here at our house to trick or treat around our neighborhood. Matt cooked chili, and Mom and Dad joined in as well.

My neice Avery was a Baseball Ballerina...ADORABLE! They got the idea from a book, and it was the cutest outfit ever!

After many different ideas (golfer, fisherman, camo man...) we finally settled on a Farmer costume for Case. I bought the overalls from a consignment store for $2.50, the shirt from Wal-Mart for $3.00 and some John Deer Boots with camo on the sides for the most expensive part of the costume for $9.99...and Case's Mamaw and Papaw had gotten him a straw cowboy hat from Mexico that fit in perfectly!

Case was a little bored with the whole thing, he didn't understand what all the hype was about to just sit in his stroller and watch his cousin get to run around and get candy. However, Avery went up and down just a couple of streets and decided her bucket was too heavy and she had enough candy (sweet girl!)

All in all though, we had a great time and captured some cute, cute pictures!

A Day in the Park

You know when you have those days, days when you have set your mind to clean the whole house before you do anything else? Well that was my thought for this day until I let the dogs out to go potty and felt how warm and beautiful and sunny it was outside!

It was a warm mid seventies kind of a day, with wind in the air and the sun shining right down on us, I literally threw my dust rag on the counter, grabbed Case, our shoes, and headed outside to the park, I simply could not waste such a day inside cleaning!

And of course we got some pictures!
