My Little Firefighter

Mike had to get a new helmet because someone ran over his other one with the firetruck. We let Evan try it on though he wasn't too crazy about it, because he doesn't like things on his head.

I haven't had much to post lately. I'm busy Christmas shopping and getting ready for Evan to turn 1! I'm also tired because work has me running and in meetings most days. I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great weekend!

Two of a kind

Katy, Derrick, and Little Derrick snuck into town late Friday night/early Saturday morning. We had plans to visit the Baby Fare and things start early when you are trying to beat all the new and expecting mommies to freebies (By the way, Little Derrick won second place in the crawling race and won Katy $15 at Babies R Us and Evan cried). When the boys woke up, we noticed they were wearing similar outfits. They immediately got re-acquainted.

and checking out the surroundings

We had a great mini-Thanksgiving with Mike's family. Mike's Dad and Jackie were here too. (We missed you Heather, Rob, Laney, and Kathryn). We loved having everyone over and can't wait to see you all again in a few weeks.

Check back tomorrow

Katy, Derrick, and Little D are on their way home and Mike's Dad and Jackie just left so we are turning in for the evening. We took tons of pics of Evan and Little D so I will post them tomorrow.

Have a great Turkey Week!

Game Ranch and Random Evan

This past Saturday, Evan and I joined Christina, Cole, and Jeremy at the Yellow River Game Ranch. I'm a Gwinnett County native and had never been there until this visit. We enjoyed it and we will definitely be going again. My camera died so I didn't get many pictures.

Here's a billie goat. He smiled so I took a picture

Evan was very interested in watching Cole feed the animals. When we gave Evan crackers to feed the animals, the crackers went straight into his mouth

And for some other random pictures....

Sometimes, you can't eat just one animal cracker...

you can't play with just one can of play-doh...

and there's always room for one more.

I'll post some Target pics we took a few weeks ago and my Gratitude post later this week. I also have my Tupperware for sale list ready if any of you are interested in some discounted items. My email address is in my About Me page temporarily if you want to contact me for the list.

Exciting and Funny!

My Day Off

I had today off because it was Mike's regular work day and Mom (Lola) had a workshop to attend. Evan and I slept in (until 9:00) and got motivated to go out around 1:00 PM. If I were a stay at home mom, I would never get anything done! Cole had a doctor's appointment around 1:00 so Evan and I headed across town and met Cole and Christina at Stonecrest Mall.

As soon as we got into the main part of the mall, there was a huge Christmas tree. We decided to use it for our first photo op. I just can't believe Christmas will be here in another 6 weeks or so.

Evan and Cole spent some quality time in the kiddie area. Here's my little one about to get toppled at the bottom of the weird band-aid slide. Luckily, no kids under 3 feet tall were harmed after this picture was taken.

and then we grabbed dinner at the Ruby Tuesday's. Cole was very helpful in keeping Evan beside the table and occupied.

With these two, everything's funny

Stealing from Katy, AWWWWWWWWWWWW!

PEACE! and Goodnight!

Thanks to Christina and Cole for getting us out of the house today. We had a great time. Cole, you are the best helper when it comes to Evan. He really looks up to you and loves you. You make him laugh and laugh and laugh! We'll see you on Saturday!

Happy Weekend

I've got nothing. We cleaned out the garage today to make room for all of Evan's out grown baby stuff. That means that I now have to unload all of my Tupperware from when I sold the plastic bowls and things. If you are looking for any specific item, I probably have it, and will sell it to you much less than a Tupperware rep will. I'll be compiling an inventory but it may take me a while. There are no less than 10 bags and boxes full of Tupperware.

I hope your weekend was good and I should have something to blog about later this week.
