Turkey Day 2009

Happy Thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for this holiday season, my wonderful husband, my cute son, great family and friends, a job, our house.... (I could keep going but I'll stop there) We spent Thanksgiving with James' Papa and Grammy, we headed out Thursday morning and came home on Saturday late afternoon.  James had to work today.  It was so wonderful for Caleb to spend some time with his great grandparents, he loved his time with them.  He learned how to say Grammy, Papa and Laurie.  It was so cute, whenever they walked in the room he would say "Hi" and everything was Papa, where was Papa, what was Papa doing and I want to see Papa.  On Thursday we went into town and went to a park and a wildlife museum.  There was a train and an old fire truck at the park, Caleb thought that was so cool.  Everything is fire truck and choo choo these days.  

 

  

While visiting with Papa and Grammy we visited Bud and Freda in Holly Lake Ranch, where there are deer taking over, eating all plants in sight.  Usually they only have about 200 deer and right now they have 1800 deer in the gate community and the deer are 30 lbs under weight.  Here are some photos of the deer, we got pretty close to them on our drive through the community.

The Trouble Makers!! 

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year and it's important for us to be thankful.... and now it's Christmas time!! I love this time of the year.  Caleb and I put up our Christmas tree and decorations today.  I tried to get Caleb to stand in front of the tree but he wanted to sit in the chair.  Once he was in the chair he wouldn't look at me so this is the picture that I got.

 

Happy Belated Halloween!!

I know, i know Halloween was almost 3 weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting some pictures.  I can tell you that it has been very crazy around our place.  Phil was here for a week, Caleb started his new daycare, had his 2nd year check up where we found out he has an ear infection, Caleb had a birthday party to go to, somewhere in there was Halloween and we had a Fall Festival at Caleb's new school, went to Boo at the Zoo and trick or treating and then James' father came last weekend and James and him went to Nascar.  Caleb seems to be doing pretty well at his new school, whenever I log in online to check on him he's playing with his new friends although he does cry every morning when I leave but the teachers say that it's only for a few minutes. He is growing up so much these days, talking all the time, going potty in the potty, gaining such a strong and stubborn personality.  He weighs in at 28 lbs and 2'9" tall!!! That may sound big, but he is only in the 50% percentile for his age and is actually shorter then a lot of his friends.  Caleb really enjoyed trick or treating this year, he has learned a new word, "candy" and after everyhouse he kept saying "more, more". And don't be fooled he didn't wait until we got home to start digging in to the candy, I think it was after the first or second house he had his first piece, a sucker.

Having Fun at Fall Festival
