Thank you!

We'd like to thank all of the US service members on Veteran's Day! Without them we wouldn't have the freedoms we do! Thank you for your sacrifices! We appreciate you!
(To those who are deployed, we hope you have a safe return.)

God bless!

The shag was tamed!

Yesterday we took Will to have his hair professionally cut for the first time. This time around I was happy and still am! (Not like when I buzzed off all of his baby fuzz early this year.) Will did not approve of the electric shaver, but sat very still for scissors! He did so good and I think he liked being pampered... plus, he could see himself in the mirror!

The ladies (and guy) loved Will's hair! They kept saying how blonde he is and I think they started a shrine of him in the back with the hair.

Funny, now he reminds me a lot of my brother Isaiah (when he was a kid)!

I love the shaggy hair!



This picture shows the hair cut, but not the best face from Will. :)

The Many Adventures of Mr. Mailman

On Sprout Live TV (or whatever its called) they have a mini episode of "Mr. Mailman". Since I first saw it I've looked all over for a video of it to show my dad- no go. They didn't even have one on the main site, UGH! So, I FINALLY made my own video of it! Every time I see Mr. Mailman it reminds me of my dad and I tell Will, "He's just like Papa". I hope you enjoy it dad! :)

What the feather?!

Today was the day to weed the flower bed... it was finally not raining and my neck/shoulder wasn't hurting as bad. I didn't realize how bad it looked until I got out there!

While weeding, I reached to pull out a weed at the root and saw something move. It was a chicken! She was laying there ever so still and scared me so bad! The darn thing laid 9 eggs in my flower bed!! A CHICKEN in my flower bed?! She wasn't there last week as I could still see the ground, so it must have happened over the weekend.

The monstrous weeds!

As done as it's gonna get until the eggs hatch!
What's this?!?!

Surprisingly she didn't move when I was taking pictures.
She is also, THE chicken that would sit on the wall outside our bedroom window "crowing" to wake me up!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Trick or treating was very enjoyable this year... Will had a lot of fun! When he realized the whole concept of the getting candy in his bag, he did NOT let go of his bag. Here are some pictures from the night and before of him in his costume.

Growing up...

Will is sure growing up! Yesterday he helped me transform his crib into a toddler bed. Boy, was he a big helper! He found his toy hammer and would "inspect" everything I did. Once I finished and triple checked everything, he decided to try it out. For the next 1/2 hr he climbed on and off of his bed. It was priceless!
Now, he thinks he's hot stuff because he can get up and down from the couch and his bed.

Last night he wanted to wear his dirty shorts (which he took out of the dirty clothes hamper). So, he sat down and put them on... except he put both legs in one side! When he stood up (to pull them up) he realized he couldn't move. He stood there saying, "Mom!" and pointing down.




Getting dressed
Will's action shot... slow motion falling. (Don't worry, he was not harmed)
I put the hat on Elmo and Will took it off immediately to wear it himself.
