Will is 2!

Party in Nashville - Aunt Ann made the cutest train cake!
Party in Atlanta - pumpkin theme...finally he has gotten over his pumpkin obsession...now onto Christmas trees!

He has actually been 2 since the 8th - I just have not been good with keeping up with the blog here lately!  Will partied the whole month of October!  We didn't do a big party at our house this year - we'll make everyone travel next year!  So Will ended up having a party in Atlanta with my family and one in Nashville with Michael's family.  I am only posting a couple of pictures...I am too tired to go through them all - isn't that terrible!

Will went for his 2 year check up the other day.  He is 34lbs (95%) and 35"(75% I think)...He only had to get one shot thank goodness and he really likes his new doctor!

He is so much fun these days and I feel like he is getting easier (knock on wood...I hear 3 is the toughie).  He says funny stuff all the time such as....the other day I was picking him up from MDO and there was a little boy screaming and crying because he got his fingers smashed in the door.  Will was standing there with his pacy and bear (he had just gotten up from his nap) just staring at the kid.  When he saw me he took his pacy out and said "He scweamin, dat ugwee.  He scweamin wike a whittle gwirl..."I tried not to laugh and told him the little boy was hurt.  We sometimes say when he screams, " You sound like a little girl....screaming is ugly."  

Also Michael fixed a couple of places on the wall around the stairs where the movers bumped it with furniture.  Anyway, he found some touch up paint in the attic and proceeded to paint all the spots on the wall and it was the wrong color :)  That of course drives me crazy and I probably drove Michael saying "that's the wrong color...."  So now every time Will passes that place on the stairs he says, "dat's the wong collwa..."  Thanks for the reminder son...

We are looking forward to the holidays!  I am ready to get the Christmas decorations out...so much to do!  Hopefully I will be better about the blog!

#30 Zach and Kim

#37 The Lamberts

You may notice the numbers are off again because I had someone leave two comments so I threw out one number and used random.org to choose two numbers between 1 - 53. Just wanted to clarify! So girls just email me through my website to let me know what you would like to have!

Also, Christmas is around the corner so if you plan on ordering anything for Christmas gifts just know that I will probably stop taking orders Dec. 15th so that I have time to get everything made and shipped out before Christmas. Depending on the number of orders I may have to shut it down a little early. I am going to do some sort of free gift or coupon too if you spend a certain amount...I will update that on the blog and website later.

Congrats to the winners!

Oops...forgot to do the jewelry giveaway - must be my pregnant brain!

Trick or Treat

Listening to the live music with daddy.
Checking out the suckers and the life size peanut M&M...
I think he thought he was in heaven...
Trick or Treat!
I want candy!
The only pic we could get with the helmet on - still wouldn't wear the shoulder pads!

We took Will to a cute little downtown trick or treating tonight.  There is a cute old town near us that puts on this festival every year and a friend of mine suggested we go!  I am so glad she did - it was really fun!  of course Will is still a bit young to really get into trick or treating, but he did say trick or treat for candy a few times!  He was a UT football player for Halloween (daddy's choice).  He has a great uniform with a helmet and shoulder pads that of course he wouldn't wear.  I also tried to do some black tape under his eyes, but he kept saying "take it off..." so I did.  At least he would wear the pants and jersey.  I thought he looked cute anyway!  Happy Halloween everyone!

Snow flurries and pumpkin carving....

The other day it was so cold it started snowing or flurrying (is that a word?).  It was coming down pretty good at one point and will kept saying "snowman, snowman."  Later that afternoon Michael got home a little early which was nice and he and Will carved 3 pumpkins!!!  They were so cute together - Will loved it!  Especially when it was time to light them!  Enjoy the pics...

More fall fun and a birthday party!

Driving Mr. Turner's tractor...

I am a little behind (once again) with blogging.  We went to Atlanta last week for a few days to have a little family birthday party for Will.  Everyone has a lot going on in October so we decided to do a party in Atlanta and will have one in Nashville.  Anyway, family came over to my parents house and we spent the whole day going to the pumpkin patch, hanging out, and having a birthday party!  We had so much fun!  I left my camera at home so mom took the pictures with her camera.  I only have pictures from the pumpkin patch because something was wrong with the dvd with the birthday pictures:(  So when I get those I will post them!

We took Will to a pumpkin patch/farm this weekend - just like everyone else in blogland it seems! :)  We had a really good time.  Will LOVED looking at all the pumpkins, animals, pig race, and more!  We also picked out a really great pumpkin to carve too!  Hope you all are enjoying the fall!!!

Little Man and the Monthy Giveaway...

Hmmmm...what should I knock over next with this golf club???
"I gitch you!" His favorite thing to say here lately. He loves to be chased!
Havein' some pretzels and juice...on the coffee table.
Will is obsessed with pumpkins! I let him pick one out at the grocery store the other day and he thinks it is the greatest thing ever! He really loves getting out the baby pumpkins (as Will calls them)and gourds (or gwuards as Will says) on the dining room table, lining them up, and counting them.

I really have been terrible about blogging lately! I am also behind on the jewelry giveaway so here it is! A $40 Gift Certificate to www.lovemybabyjewelry.com. Just leave a comment to enter! I will draw Sunday night!

So what have we been up to? Weekend before last my parents came up for the weekend to watch Will while Michael and I went to the UT/FL game. Mom took pictures, but I don't have any! They had lots of fun as usual!

Will is turning into a 2 year old for sure! He is soooooo busy and funny! Talking a ton and says new things all the time that crack us up! He is so much fun and I just love that little guy to death! This past weekend we had to go a college football game that Michael had to cover. His practice splits up the games and he agreed to the one that was 4 hours away! So we had a little road trip. We didn't leave until about 8pm and got to the hotel around 12am! Will didn't fall asleep in the car at all! I couldn't believe it! He was good though, just watching his dvd's.

All for now...going to bed!

New Jewelry!

I have finally added new jewelry to my website! I have added new pieces in every catagory and still have more to add, but I cannot stay on the computer any longer!!!

Blog slacker...

I have been busy with jewelry and haven't had time to post at night when I usually do!  So family has been asking for a picture of Will and I am embarrassed these are the only ones I have taken of him in the past week or so!  However, you can see the cute outfit his Aunt Dee Dee made for him!  Since these pictures he has had a haircut - which looks really cute by the way - I will take some more recent pictures and post them soon!

Care for your Love My Baby Necklace

You can still enter the jewelry giveaway in the previous post!

The other day I decided I needed to clean my necklace. The chains I use are sterling silver and as you know silver over time will tarnish as it is exposed to the air, salt, chemicals, perfume, lotion, your skin etc. The initial charms are fine silver (99% pure silver) and tarnish (never seen this happen personally) at a slower rate than sterling silver. Like I said chain I use on my necklaces are sterling silver, but also have an anti tarish treatment on them to stop tarnishing and provide "shelter" from air, elements, etc that cause tarnishing. There is never a 100% guarantee on anti-tarnish, some may never tarnish and some may, but the anti tarnish treated product help prolong the life of sterling silver...So I said all that to give you the best cleaner for your silver if it begins to tarnish or lose that new luster!

I DO NOT recommend any liquid jewelry cleaners, such as Tarn-x or any of the jewelry cleaners you drop your jewelry in as it can give it a yellowing look to it. It is almost like those cleaners are too harsh. You should never soak any jewelry in Tarn-x!!!!

You SHOULD USE a silver cream polish, such as Wright's Silver Cream Polish. It works great and brings back the new shine to your silver!

Just thought I would share if your necklace needs a Shine Boost!
