Baking Cookies with Gran


Jameson, Dalton, and Tanner baked cookies with Grand before lunch on Saturday. They had a great time.
Dalton is putting icing on the cookies.

Thanksgiving at Gran and Pop's

On Friday, we went to Pop and Gran's house. It was the first time in a long time that all 3 kids and their families spent the night together. We had a great time. In fact, Mom, Gina, Spencer,Alisha and Kim stayed up until 2 AM just visiting and catching up.

Thanksgiving at Grandma Stacy's

On Thursday, we ate Thanksgiving lunch at Grandma Stacy's house in Quitman. Dalton loves going to Grandma's house because he loves her horse "Bo". In fact, every horse he sees is a "Bo". Here are some pictures of the day at Grandmas:

"Ready to go!"

We are cracking up at this boy and the things he comes up with. Tonight after supper, Dalton gets out of his chair and says, "Ready to go!" He crawled up in John's lap and John asked him where he wanted to go. He said,"Uhhhhhhhh.....Mal-mart! (aka "Wal-Mart")". 15 minutes later we found ourselves at Wal-Mart! We try to tell ourselves that we are still in control...yah, right!

Funny story!

I have a funny story tonight, but no pictures. We went to Taco Bueno to eat supper tonight. Dalton loves their chicken quesadillas. He walked in the restaurant ahead of me and John, ahead of all the customers waiting in line, went up to the counter, and hollered to all the cooks in the back, "I want chicken!" Everyone just cracked up laughing. He is learning at a very young age the routine of eating out. I wonder why?!

Neighbor friends!












We are really blessed to have such great neighbors. One of the neighbors that we really like are the Franklin's. They have 2 girls, Ashley and Claire and a son, Daniel. Daniel is only 2 weeks younger than Dalton. The girls have always been very sweet to Dalton and he loves playing with them. Christine, their mom, says that Daniel stands at his window crying for Dalton. He is very sweet! We love having neighbors that we can stand out in the yard and visit with.

Dalton's haircut

I am learning that when a kid does really well with something one time, does not mean that is the way it will always go. Dalton has had several haircuts before today. He has always done really well. NOT TODAY! He cried more with getting his haircut than he did the flu shot last week! Ms. Lindsay is my beautician and she has 3 boys of her own, so she was very patient and understanding. She was also really good at continuing to cut, even though he was moving his head, crying, screaming, etc... The bad thing is hair continues to grow and we will have to go back in about 2 months! AAAAH!

4 days of fun!

These are more pics from our long
weekend. Dalton has learned how to
blow his own nose. He says,"I do it!"

"Shoo! Stinky feet!"
"Hewo! O-tay. Bye!"

Dalton loves mom's headbands
(much to dad's dismay!)
Is this not the cutest face!

This is Dalton's new ride!
"Giddy-up!"
"Yee-haw!?

Mom's 4 day weekend!






This has been a much needed weekend. Due to going to a few extra continuing education classes this summer, I got to be off this past Thursday and Friday. On Thursday night we had ice cream for desert, or as Dalton says, "I-deam!" His dad has gotten him hooked on mint chocolate chip. Here are a few pics of the ice cream fun!

"Mama, 'meer!"



So, I am laying in bed this morning hearing Dalton say, "Mama, meer!" (a.k.a "Come here"). I go in there and there he is...sitting with his legs through the posts of the bed, waiting for me to come get him. I am reminded how great it is to be a mom!

Fun in the Leaves!


It's amazing to me the things you do not have to teach a child. Like jumping in the leaves. That came very natural for Dalton. John was raking the back yard and once he got them in a pile....here comes Dalton! He loved it! He even got his rake and helped Dad rake them back into a pile.

Halloween Costume Party!






This was great fun! It was actually the first costume party John and I had ever gone to. It was at Doug and Cindy's house. They had the perfect house to host this party. They had the fire pit, blow up pit for the kids, ladder golf, movies for the kids, Dance Revolution, and food,food,food. Since this is Cindy's favorite holiday, she was fully equipped with the Halloween decor that made it even more fun. Dalton had a great time with Saigel in the blow up pit. All you could hear were screams of fun coming from somewhere in the pit! I knew he would either be wound up from the candy or completely exhausted from all the fun. Let's just say he slept very good that night! We had a really great time and can't wait for next year! Thanks Doug and Cindy!

I am posting some pics of some of the people at the party. John was static cling and I was a basket of laundry.

Cutest Cowboy in Town


We tried on his costume for Halloween. He loved it! He kept saying, "yee-haw!" He even cried when I took off his cowboy hat.
