Dear Santa...

"You think you could talk my Daddy into letting me have a flyrod for Christmas?"

Santa's little helper

Thomas found the tape while I was trying to wrap presents this weekend...

Confusion

We might need to have a conversation about the difference between a "hair" brush and a "bottle" brush.

Christmas Carousel

Brandon gave me this carousel our first Christmas together. It makes me smile every year when I get it out. Now it makes me smile even more seeing how much T loves it too.

Meet baby Abby

Welcome to the world Abigail Marie Anderson. You are truly loved! Congrats Brent and Nat!

Too much turkey... he didn't even make it to the stuffing.

Jack and Anne's Engagement Party

Janie- I believe this is what we call a condo picture.:) Except that Justin could use a V8. Why he's leaning is anyone's guess...

It's Raining Leaves

Halle came over to play in the ridiculous amount of leaves in our front yard. You can tell they had a terrible time.

Is November already gone?

I've been chastised recently for my like of posting. I apologize to all of my 5 readers profusely. So here are a few pictures from this month.

Sweet Phebes lets him chase her around. He likes to give her a "1,2,3 Squeeze" (that's his version of a hug. it's super cute.)

Did I mentions she's VERY patient with him?

I'm not doing a thing but peeling the label off the mustard bottle. What's weird about that?

We went to Connor's 3rd birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. Thomas did much better this time than before. He's still pretty intimidated by the big kid rides, but became really interested in skee ball. He is my son in so many ways...

"I just want a taste of the icing..."

"Mmm, Mmm, good."

Here he is driving with his daddy.

Happy Thanksgiving from Alvin

Zeta house update

Here's the picture in front of the lot. looks like the old house, but bigger and without the chapter room added on.

Thought a few of you might like to see that there's actually a foundation poured now.

If first you don't succeed...

Smear yogurt all over your face and it makes it better! (He only wants to feed himself lately. That includes all things like yogurt and mashed potatoes that have the potential to not only be food, but hair product as well.)

Gonna miss my Betsy

What are we going to do with Betsy in China?

Thomas has taken to kissing his pictures of Betsy in the morning. (Obviously, this is after we apply Sponge Bob band-aids to owies that don't exist.) He's so funny, he won't kiss John in the picture of Betsy and John, only Betsy.

May the Force Be With You

Bubble helmet

Cleaning Service

Now if I could only get him to do windows.

Ladies' Man

Tommy, watch out. That whole, "Betsy can't ride in a car with a boy until she's 22" is totally out the window.

But then again, Thomas doesn't like girls in his car. Looks like she got kicked to the curb. Oh, I can't wait until their wedding....

Once Betsy went home to Austin, Thomas moved on to the Sit 'n Spin with McKenna. Jim and Lisa better watch out. Looks like he's already playing footsie with McKenna.

Fish face!

Super explorers!

Slip sliding away!

What's Halle doing? I want to fish!

All tuckered out!
We went hiking on our last Saturday and got about a mile down the Frasier when T decided he didn't want to be in the backpack anymore. So guess who got to hike a mile back with an extra 25 pounds?

The Jedi Master

We're getting ready for Halloween around here. Can you guess our theme? (Sorry for the picture quality...)



Just thought I'd throw this one in. Has nothing to do with Halloween. File this one under "what a mother will do to keep a toddler happy in a doctor's office." Yes, that's a tampon and a sippy cup lid. As Thomas was rummaging in my purse, I thought, "He won't be able to open that tampon." Then I thought, "Just kidding."
