Cookies For Santa

Another tradition we taught Thor this year was to leave cookies and milk for Santa. Him and Zac decorated some ginger bread men cookies with Cayla that we put out with some chocolate chip cookies. Thor was so excited and listened intently when I was telling him about leaving the cookies and Santa bringing presents. When he woke up Christmas morning and the cookies and milk were gone, he was so excited! His reaction was priceless! I got it all on video. I just love how he is growing and learning and watching his reactions to the things he discovers. I know these days won't last forever.

Gingerbread House

Now that Thor is getting older, I wanted to start teaching him some traditions. One I wanted to start was making a Ginger bread House on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, Curry had to work on Christmas Eve but before he left, him and Thor made a Ginger Bread House. They had a blast! I look forward to next year when Trig can help.

Christmas part one

On Sunday the 20th we had Christmas with Erik, Lisa, Kayleigh, and Brian. Thor and Kayleigh had fun playing together. It was nice having a girl around! Trig and Brian also had fun getting passed around. Brian is quite a bit heavier than trig so we deffinately got our work out holding him.

3 Months

Yes, 3 months have passed already. Trig was 3 months old yesterday. The pictures have blurred spots in them because he was constantly moving while I was taking pictures. He has become a wiggle worm! And yes he still has ALL of his hair, has not lost any of it. (knock on wood)

Papaw Bear's New Shack

Since Papaw Bear moved, he had to build a new Shack. We went to check it out, and Thor loved it. Papaw Bear and Thor were playing catch with a box of milk duds.

Thor was getting carried away when he was throwing the box to Papaw and kept falling down on the floor. His pants got dirty and Papaw swept them off with his broom. Thor thought it was funny. He told him to sweep the dog too. (the dog had lots of debris in his fluffy tail)

Papaw was sharing his treats with him.

John Deere

While this combine was waiting for the front part of his tractor, Thor and Papaw went out to see it then watched it go to work. Thor got to watch all the action from Mamaw and Papaw's front porch. Semi's waiting on the corn.

WOW!! Those are big tires!!

More Halloween

The costumes for infants at Wal-Mart were too cute. I couldn't decide which one to get so I bought two, the frog and the giraffe. I took Trig with me to school on Friday for the costume parade and Halloween festivities. Trig is hanging out with his frog buddy Ashton.
Here's our little hunter practicing shooting his bow in front of our car at Trunk-or-Treat.

Trunk-Or-Treat

We had our annual Trunk-or-Treat on Halloween at church. Thor got a toy bow and arrow at Goat Day and that is all he has wanted to play with since, so he was a hunter for Halloween. Thor was checking out Cowboy Renner. Trig was frog.


Baby Ashton was also a frog. Two little Bull Frogs!
This is what our car looked with all the lights like when it got dark.
At the end, Thor started getting the hang of things and started helping his Lala pass out the candy to trick-or-treaters.

Visit with Mamaw and Papaw

A few weeks ago, the weekend of October 17-18, Mamaw and Papaw flew down for the weekend for Trig's Blessing at church. We packed those 2 days with as much as possible. On Saturday morning we went to Goat Day in Blountstown then to Panama City for Thor's friend Renner's birthday party. It was at Pump it Up, a 'bouncy town' place. The kids had a blast. After the birthday party, we came back to Bristol to watch the Dueling Pianos concert at the high school. It was a great show. If you ever get a chance to see one of the Lawson bothers shows you need to go. Then Trigs' blessing was on Sunday, had a few hours to rest and visit, then Mamaw and Papaw had to get to the airport to go back to Indy.

1st Big Buck of the year!

Hunting season started last Saturday and it only took Curry a few times in the tree stand to get one of the several big bucks he has been tracking. He shot this big 8 point yesterday morning at about 7:15 am, barely light enough to see him. Thor was so excited when Curry brought it home. Now I'm ready to have the meat in the freezer so we can save a little money.

Curls and Birthmark

Here's some pics of the blond curly hair. It's only this curly right after he has a bath but we still enjoy it.
A couple weeks ago, when he was 5 weeks old, he had a really bad diaper and I had to end up bathing him. While I was bathing him I saw these brown spots on his belly a I thought it was poop. I kept scrubbing and scrubbing and it didn't come off. When I dried him off I realized it wasn't just on his belly. Well as the week went on the brown spots kept getting darker. So I called and got him into the doctor. His doctor was stumped as to what it was. He said it looked like birth mark material but it was so wide spread. Who knew a BIRTH mark could show up 5 to 6 weeks AFTER birth. But they said it can happen. So he sent us to a dermatologist. The dermatologist said it was definitely a malformation in the pigment of his skin. He had one of the nurses take a ton of pictures so he could show them to all his colleagues to see if any of them could diagnose/"give it a name". He also said not to be surprised if it continues to get darker. Well it has continued to darker so who knows just how dark it will get. If you look at the last picture closely you can see a definite line from his belly button down to his private. The doctor said something about us being A-symmetrical and the nerves in the body don't cross the center so that's why the discoloration stops at the middle of his body. So it starts at his belly button and goes around to his butt cheek and all down his thigh to just past his knee. The doctor said it definitely didn't look dangerous or something we needed to worry about but that he wanted to find out what to call it. So we are waiting to hear back from him after he talks to all his doctor buddies. We'll let ya know when we here something and update with more pics if we need too as or if it gets darker.

Spider Man couch

As some of you may have noticed, I have several pictures of when Thor has fallen asleep in his Spider Man couch. Well, here's the first one of Trig. I don't know what it is about "the little couch" but it sure knocks these boys out! This picture of Trig on the couch makes me want to say, "Don't worry Trig, Spider Man will SAVE you!!!! "

Cheap Babysitter!

I was trying to cook diner the other night and Trig didn't want me to cook without holding him. Thor as been wanting to help feed him, sometimes, so I put his eagerness to work. It didn't last long, maybe 5 mins! But hey, it was 5 mins!

My sweet boys!!!

Just some pictures I took last week of the boys. Enjoy!
