Beginning to feel like Fall!

Yay for Fall! It's my favorite time of the year! You are obsessed with pumpkins and I'm obsessed with mums, so we ventured out to Coulter Gardens one evening and picked up a few mums and when you saw the pumpkins out in the parking lot, you wouldn't stop talking about them until I let you go explore.


Here's the wreath Mimi's helped me make for the front door. I'm kinda proud of it and you constantly say, "pider, ewwww, lucky!" (Translation: spider, ewww, yucky.


I had this wooden pumpkin painted for the front porch and in obsessed.


Trying really hard to pick up a rather large pumpkin.


Before I could stop you, you had all these pumpkins loaded up for me to purchase.


"Look Mom, Punkin!" You play with all 3 little pumpkins I got you that day. They are constantly carried around and so far haven't broken.

Race for Cure

It's a family tradition for Mimi's to come to Amarillo every year for the Race for the Cure. I serve on the board for our local Susan G Komen chapter and therefore work behind the scenes. Slate now goes with Mimi's and the girls and provides them with extra entertainment. After you are all finished walking, you gather at Crush for a mimosa (or milk) and appetizers.



You adore your Minis and we are sure grateful for her being a 7 year breast cancer survivor.


Mimi's and all her friends at the race.


Just stirring your water with Minis Survivor flower. Geez, you are a mess! My only regret is not getting a picture with y'all that day!

Crafting, cooking and racing

I decided to paint my own Mackenzie Child's-inspired pumpkins this year. Only took me 2 weeks to complete them. However, you decided you needed to paint, too! You did so good and had a lot of fun.


Cooking on the "manly" kitchen set that Miss Jeanne got you.

Daddy Day Care

I went on a girls trip to see some of college girlfriends and your Dad stayed home with you ALL weekend! It's safe to say, you guys had a blast!



Playing with the new tractor Daddy got you before I left. You are rotten!



Just tucking your cell phone in your shorts (pocket), just like Dad.


Serious conversations at the dinner table....sweet and yet, scary moment. Who knows what y'all were scheming.


You love corn dogs! You peel all the breaking off and then yell, "look, Mom! Hot dog!"

You constantly keep us laughing.

Emmy came to visit and so did Mimi's and Poppa!

You were so pumped to see her, you ran all over the airport with excitement when she put you down.


Watching Auntie land. We were so glad she came all the way from Baton Rouge to spend the weekend with us.


You were very concerned about her nose ring, but finally decided to touch it and decided it was "pretty!"


Poppa took us to Kabuki and y'all had a ball discussing the "thunderstorms" they have inside the restaurant.


We then all gathered for Sunday brunch at Public House to celebrate Mimi's birthday.

Playing catch up

Your new favorite thing has been to crawl up in your Daddy's lap and watch tractors on You Tube. It's such a sweet moment.


Constantly playing with your workbench....hard hat and all.


You had your first bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios all by yourself. Slow down, time!


Watching tractors again....

It's been a while...

Well, once again, time has slipped away and I've failed at updating my blog on our little man. Let's just say, he's BUSY, smart (of course, everyone thinks their kid is smart), fun, talkative, opinionated, and busy! Oh wait, I said that twice. Dude-you keep us on our toes and are are learning new things at warp speed! So proud of you and we genuinely enjoy every minute with you.

You got your first "real" haircut by Miss Jodi and you did awesome! Miss Jodi knows how to bribe a toddler and gave you a sucker and life was good! Here's the before and after. Immediate transformation from "baby" to "little boy." Mom only teared up once.













You light up our lives every day. Love you, buddy!
