Thankful...

Thanksgiving was somewhat of a blur this year due to my extreme lack of sleep, and it was also a little difficult as well. Andrew is growing up so very fast, and I wish so much that my mom could be here to see him growing up. We really did have fun with the little guy this year! Now that Andrew is old enough to eat table food, he got to experience some new and different flavors this year! The pictures below are too funny! One of our family traditions is a veggie dip that my mom and my grandmother used to make. Andrew ate some it for the first time. His face, by far, says it all!!!!! I am so thankful for the blessings that God has given us this year. He has shown us His amazing love in so many ways, and I am thankful for the amazing husband and sweet baby boy that He has given me! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

Happy "Stink"-oween!!!

We had so much fun this Halloween! I had trouble deciding what to dress Andrew up in this year. It came down to a pirate outfit, or the skunk. As you can see, the skunk costume won out. I figured that he may choose one day to dress up as a pirate, but as for a skunk, I realized that the opportunities for me to make costume decisions are quickly coming to a close, and I am pretty positive that he would never choose a skunk costume. I figured a little mommy induced humiliation was appropriate while he won't remember it!! He did look absolutely adorable!!!! Halloween is also my dad's birthday, so after the fall festival at church, we headed over to my grandfathers house for a little cake and ice cream for Grandad's birthday!!!!

Fall Fun!

This fall has been so much fun so far! Andrew is growing up so fast, and we are having a blast experiencing new things together! Before Andrew was born, I never really took advantage of all of the exciting things to do during the fall. Now, it seems like I can't get enough of it. Taking him to all sorts of different activities, and watching him explore things for the first time makes me feel like a kid again myself! These are a few pictures of Andrew at the pumpkin patch...as you can see he had a great time, and he figured out that pumpkin stems don't taste so great!!!!!

WRECK 'EM TECH!!!!!!!!

Corn Maize!!!

A few weeks ago, we went with our Life Group out to the Corn Maize. Now, for those of you who are not from West Texas, let me paint the picture for you...Imagine endless acres of tall corn stalks planted in "maze" form. Then, take a whole bunch of people trying to find their way through this maze of corn! It can get pretty crazy! We also decided to take Andrew with us, which I am still debating on whether or not was a good idea. We all took turns carrying him on our shoulders, and I am sure he thought it was quite the set-up! Now, as for our shoulders...We had a great time, and we made it out in a safe and timely manner!! I love all of the fun things to do in the fall!!!!
