Teething

Our little man is about to cut two teeth, you can see them about to pop through the gums (makes me cringe just thinking about it) and our poor little guy is hurting.

I was wondering when Case was going to pop out some new teeth, it's been several months since the last two made their break through. I'm happy he's going to have some more teeth to munch on his food, but it's so hard watching him go through so much pain!

This morning he spent his time grabbing at his mouth, screaming in pain, and cuddling with his Mommy. We're getting some more Baby Orajel this afternoon, and we have lots of teething rings ready for soothing, hopefully they won't take too much longer.

I'll post pictures of Case's new smile as soon as they appear! :)

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!

Visiting the Orchard

Fall has officially fallen upon us, and it has been absolutely gorgeous. The breathtaking colors in the trees, the crisp clean feel in the air, and we have had some beautiful weather, days meant to be spent in a beautiful orchard.

We had a stretch there where it rained almost an entire week, and I told Matt I'd love to go to our local Boyd's Orchard the first day it was pretty again, and we did! However, everyone had the same idea I had, so it was a little bit packed, but we still had fun, especially Case man. He absolutely loved it.

Boyd's orchard is so wonderful, it has a quaint, charming store where you can buy freshly picked apples, and charming country decor.  It has all sorts of pumpkins and gourds out front (perfect for a photo shoot :) and it has an adorable playground, hay stacked high for little ones to climb, hay rides, beautiful orchards, and Case's favorite ... the petting zoo.

When it was time to leave the animals, Case let us know (quite clearly I might add ;) that he did NOT want to leave his new friends!

Well, we had so much fun at the orchard, I brought Case back the following week during the day. I was hoping the crowd would be no where to be found, and I was right. We had a very leisurely visit, and Case had another fun day running around the petting zoo visiting all of his friends.

We've actually been back a third time now, I think they're going to know our names before too long! :)
