Fun pics






Again, very hard to get pics of both children. :) This was about all Graham was going to give me.


Jumping on the bed. I was just trying to keep him from jumping on her or knocking her into the window.

So after the photo shoot I found Graham in his new favorite potty spot. Virginia's closet

Here he is telling me "No Mommy, close door." Apparently needing some privacy.







Halloween Crafts


Another day of rain mean more inside projects.

So today we colored with chalk and Graham practiced his scissor cutting. A little scary but no injuries.

I stole this idea from a magazine. They are so cute.

Watching us make Halloween happies

Virginia's Dedication


Today we celebrated our commitment to raising Virginia in a home focused on Christ.


She slept through most of her party.
Our family was sweet to drive up for her important day. Of course the camera died before we got all of the family photos taken.
Michael and Lucy came to share the day with us as well. Can you see that the boys were very serious about their toys? Neither was willing to let go of them for pictures.

6 Months Old

Our little one has moved into the 95% percentile for height.


Starting to get very curious of the sign.



Not so Hotty Toddy.

We headed down to the Ole Miss vs. Alabama game this past weekend. I had high expectations of getting a family picture in the grove since I had everybody dressed in rebel garb. As you will see, that didn't happen.

It was cold, rainy, muddy, and nap time-none of which makes for a good grove experience. Thankfully Virginia fell asleep but Graham was miserable.
My Mom took Graham to hear the band so we never got any pictures of him.

Proof that she made it to the groove.



Got your nose.

Got your nose KK.
Spending time with KK.

Visiting with Grandmother and Granddaddy.









Country Fun

Paw Paw grew Graham his very own pumpkin. GiGi found all of our old baby shoes and even Kevin's old cowboy boots that Graham is wearing in this picture.
Graham isn't afraid of "Man". Yes my Dad names his bulls. And yes, they have all been named Man to my knowledge. I think their humps are gross but Graham likes to pet the hump. YUK!

Sissy and KK out in the shop. That's what we call my Dad's garage and work shed. When we are home it is where Graham would prefer to spend ALL of his time.

I'm afraid my little one inherited my crooked smile.









Hotty Toddy.

Ole Miss was in town to play Vanderbilt today. The kids stayed home with Dad while we endured the chilly weather.

It was a little cool for Sissy so we tried on her new winter hat. Cutie pie!



Caroline's Princess Party

Graham went to his first Princess birthday party today. Please look carefully, our child is the only one not eating ice cream or cake. He's checking everybody out but it's not convincing him to put it in his mouth. We have a picky picky eater on our hands. He may be pickier than me, I didn't think it was possible.

Thank you for inviting us Caroline! We had fun playing on all of the play sets!

Playing

Graham is only supposed to have his B-B (pacifier) in the bed so this is his way of getting it during the day. How can I argue that?
5 Months old


Graham and Virginia played in his bed together for little while this morning. It is so cute to see him play with her. The other morning I was in the kitchen when I kept hearing her giggle. Virginia was in her bouncy seat and Graham was being silly and making her laugh. It was so fun to see because he was unprompted by me to play with her. Graham loves his Sissy and will be quick to tell you she's "my sissy" if you come near her in the car seat or stroller. His little friends at school are learning to stay away from her or he'll come running. Literally! I'm just thankful he's already protective, can you imagine what he'll be like when they are both at "big school"?


We discovered the remote control train at the Monkey's treehouse.


Check out the static in the hair.

No MORE RAIN!!!

We've grown quite accustomed to this dreary picture. I think it rained for over 14 days straight a few weeks ago and guess what, it's back. This has been the dreariest fall I can recall.
Thankfully it cleared long enough for us to get out one day and head to the park. The slides were too wet to play on but the choo choo and geese kept us entertained.

I thought I would get some good pictures of them in their cute matching outfits but that didn't happen. I keep forgetting that I can't man both of them and get a cute picture by myself. I'm hoping once Virginia is sitting up on her own, things will get a little easier.

So for now, this is the picture I was able to get of both of them.
