This is what has been on my mind lately....

I do have lots of new, fun posts and pictures but this is what has been consuming my every free waking minute for the last two weeks. Pitiful!

Thanksgiving Day

These are all out of order, but oh, well! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with my family! It was just one of those days that was perfect. We ate at my sister's in laws (The Jones) house out in the country. It was so much fun and nice not to have to worry with all of the cooking! The Jones have tons of toys and open space and the kids had a great time running around, riding in the jeep, riding the four wheeler and riding the horse. We got to spend some quality time with my brother. I just love him so much and was so glad he got to come for Thanksgiving. Edward, Allison and I went to see Four Christmases tonight and it was hilarious! We had such a good time together~just the three of us, something we haven't done in a long time.
Will with Uncle Edward. Poor Edward, Will has not left him alone all day!

My sweet, handsome brother and my beautiful sister. Doesn't she look great?!!

Me and my sis.

My dad took this picture of Walker this morning. He has found a new love~biter biscuits. They are so messy, but so worth the look on his face and the sounds he makes when he's eating them.

The whole fam trying to get a Christmas card pic for my parents.



Walker had to much excitement and was out!

Turkey craft for the kiddos.

Walkie with Ford and Cope

I'm Thankful for these three!

Our Christmas Tree

Will took this picture of us.




It was a little hard to get in the spirit because we got our tree so early, but we did it. It took a few days but it's done now. I am one of those people that loves to put up the tree the day after Thanksgiving, but we are usually traveling somewhere for Thanksgiving so that weekend is gone. With Thanksgiving being so late this year, we decided to do it a week earlier than usual. We started out the morning at Starbucks. It was so much fun. Will and Len got a donut and hot chocolate and I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte (which I highly recommend) yummmm. We headed over to Lowe's to get our tree. That sounds really "Christmassy" doesn't it? We did make some fun Christmas memories and hopefully traditions for years to come. We put the tree up that morning but didn't start decorating it until Sunday night. Will and I also made cookies that night and he added the sprinkles.

Nene and Papa's House

Ann Welch and Will. Pictures can be very deceiving, they look like they actually get along in this picture. :) If they don't kill each other first, they will be great friends one day ;)

Will, Walker and Nene. This was the best picture I could get.

This weekend we took a girls and kids trip to visit my grandparents in Tuscumbia. We had a great time and it was so much fun getting to see my grandparents. My mom is trying to go up there every other weekend because they are getting to the point where they just can't take care of themselves very well. My grandmom isn't allowed to drive anymore and it is so sad. She told me that she feels like she is in jail. It broke my heart to hear her say that. We went to the Palace to eat milkshakes and cheeseburgers, a tradition we have when going there. It was too cold and rainy for the park. We missed Ford who had to stay home because he is just so busy! We went to visit my aunt Kay and took the kids to see Madagascar. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. I think my sister got better pictures then me but I don't know if she has updated her blog yet.

Another video of Walker

I have been trying to upload videos forever and I just now figured out that you can only upload 100 mega somethings so I just tried to make them shorter. Excuse the mess in the background. We always have toys on the floor in our playroom.

Oh, Boy and Walker is 7 months old

I was cleaning out Walker's closet the other day and sat him in his bed and I looked up and he had pulled himself up into a standing position...Oh boy..I think I am in for some T.R.O.U.B.L.E. He is proving to be much more active than his big brother was at this age. My mom was here last weekend and told me that I needed to pull up his rails because she thought he might be doing this soon and I just shrugged her off and thought "no way." Well, aren't moms always right?? I'm sorry this is sideways. I took this video from our camera because our regular video camera broke (don't get me started on that). I didn't even think about not being able to turn it around so if you are even interested in looking at the video, you will have to turn your head.
As of today, he has started scooting across the floor with his feet when he is on his stomach. If he sees something he wants, he is going to get to it.
I guess I will go ahead and make this his 7 month post even though it is a couple of days early.
At 7 months Walker is
pulling himself up when he is in his crib.
lunging at anything which makes him mad because he can't get back up in a sitting position.
scooting across the floor.
still doesn't have any teeth.
is bashful. He will smile at anyone but as soon as he does, he buries his head in my shoulder.
has the BEST disposition.
responds to his name.
is so happy and really only cries when he is hungry or tired.
refuses to eat anything except for milk.
has said mamamama, but only when he is crying in his bed. I don't really think he has said it, but it sounds like it.
is starting to belly laugh, which happens to be the sweetest sound in the world.
really looks like his daddy and I think he has his personality too.
still spits up quite a bit.
stares at Will to get his attention and is very amused at anything Will does (except for when Will "accidentally" pinches him.
is back to waking up in the night. He usually goes to sleep at 7, wakes up around 10 to eat, wakes up at 1 and then at 5 but always goes back down. He is usually up for good at 6:30, along with Will. Can I just take a minute to brag on my sweet husband? I just can't help it. He gets up at 6 and takes a shower and then takes both boys downstairs, gives Will his breakfast and lets me sleep in until 7 or 7:30 when he leaves for work. I'm sure this will change once Walker starts sleeping through the night and I don't have to get up with him, but it is the most wonderful thing and I'm so thankful for him. Even right now, as I type this, Len is bathing the boys so I can blog! I had them by myself all weekend and he told me I could have the day off to take a bath and blog. Thank you Len! I love you for many many reasons!

Len and Will put a pirate hat on Walker and it was the cutest thing in the world. He didn't even try to take it off.

Halloween

Lots of sickness going on around our house since Wednesday...... yuck is all I can say. Walker, then me. Len had to come home from work because I was so sick and I called my mom and she got in the car and came up. She has been so helpful. I thought we were in the clear Friday and we went trick or treating and Will woke up in the night and threw up all over me. I thought it was just to much candy but he threw up again this morning. NO FUN!

Walden Farms

Will and Frances feeding the goats.


Six cuties!

All the kids were fighting over who got to pour the water out. This picture kind of sums it up.

This is the second time we have been to Walden Farms this year but I forgot my camera last time. We went yesterday with some friends and it was fahreezing!!!!!! The kids had a ball though. We didn't get to go with daddy this year so no family picture.

Carvin' a Jack-O-Lantern

*For some reason, blogger uploaded my pictures in the wrong order. That is so annoying!




This weekend we carved our pumpkin. Will has been begging to carve his pumpkin and we put it off as long as possible because of our hot October and not wanting the pumpkin to rot. Walker did not get to join the festivities because it was time for bed but we did get a quick picture of both boys before the pumpkin carving began. We had a little pumpkin for Walker and a big one for Will. He wanted a mad face on the little one and a happy face on the big one. I'm not sure if there is any hidden meaning behind that or not. ;)

Walker is 6 months old

I've had a hard time posting this because I just can't believe my baby is already 6 months old. I know I sound really like one of those moms that can't let go but this could be our last and it has gone by so much faster than Will's first year.
At 6 months old Walker
is sitting up
still rolling from stomach to back, but not back to stomach
laughing, cooing and shrieking all the time.
sleeping through the night again (this has just happened in the last week! Yea!!)
had his six month shots and didn't even cry with the first one.
is starting to cry when we leave the room.
loves to peak at us over the rails in his crib. It is so cute.
loves to suck on my chin.
is very cuddly.
has been fed bananas and sweet potatoes and acts like we just made him suck a lemon with every bite.
weighs 18 lb 12 oz (a whopping three pounds less than his big brother did at this age) and is 26 3/4 inches long.
we just can't get enough of this baby and he has our hearts~all three of them.

Fall Weather is Finally here!

We have had the most beautiful fall weekend! It is cool and breezy with lots of sunshine and we are loving it. Len took Will to the Lipscomb football game last night and he had the best time with his buddy Brody. We are having a relaxing weekend around the house. It's so nice to have weekends like this. Here are a few pictures of the boys this week.

My sister will have a heart attack whe she sees this picture of Walker wearing jeans:) Sorry Allison, I couldn't find any pants to match!


Having lunch with Brooke and Frances. Will informed me that Libby was cute and he wants to marry her, I don't know if Brent would approve.

There he goes.

Pulling my hair. Ouch!!!!
