the thing topping my 3 year old's Christmas list...

Never underestimate the power of advertisement!

LOTS of Pictures

I don't have that many of Sam because he was very uncooperative. I thought they turned out really good though. Thanks, Kerry!

so excited!

Derrick's mom and step-dad came and visited with us for a while today and look what they brought:

Derrick's mom painted it! I think it turned out really good. Don't you think it looks just like Lainey? Now I am just really hoping that our kids get some of that talent. They sure ain't gonna get any artistic ability from their mama (although they will probably get my bad grammer).

Trick or Treat

This was Lainey's first year to Trick-or-Treat. We don't really "celebrate" Halloween, but my Mamaw insisted that we bring the kids. So, we ended up going to 2 houses--my grandparent's and my brother's. Lainey argued with us that we weren't really trick-or-treating because we stayed at both houses and visited a while. We had fun dressing up and visiting.

Sam, Kyler (my sister's little boy), and Lainey

As you can tell, Sam was not too happy. This is a little late, but he went last week for his 1 month checkup. He weighed 10 lbs. They told me how long he was, but I forgot. He is growing so fast!

Sweet Little Cloth Diapered Boy

I decided while I was still pregnant with Sam that I was going to try cloth diapering. My friend Molly uses cloth diapers with her twin boys. I thought if she could do it with two then surely I could do it with one. I am in no way "green." In fact, I am generally pretty wasteful. But after figuring how much money I could save using cloth on my little man (not to mention future babies who can wear the same diapers). I thought it was definitely worth a try. So far it has been easier than I thought it would be, and a lot more fun. There are tons of options for both diapers and covers. And isn't he so cute?!

Sick Little Girl

Our little girl has had strep throat. We are so thankful that it wasn't the flu, especially with an infant in the house. She is feeling much better now!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a blast a the Pumpkin Patch! We can't wait to go back!

This was as scary as it looked. Don't worry...I was standing by ready to catch.

Playing in the corn. I think this was her favorite thing.
