Thanksgiving 2008

Didn't mean for this to be the first picture...oh well! Here is our den tree (without the tree topper!) - fa, la, la, la, la
My little turkey...
Will has not learned chivalry yet...obviously. Poor Mary Paul!
He probably deserves that look...

Football with Grandad and Daddy...

We had a great thanksgiving in Atlanta this year at my parent's house. I took lots of pictures of Will, but not many of the rest of the family! I need to hire a photographer to go with us everywhere because I am SO bad about not taking enough pictures...Anyway, we had a really good time. It was so relaxing - help with Will, shopping, Michael played golf and football, watched football, slept in late, ate lots of food...you get the idea! Hope all of you had a great holiday too!

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!

Yep, that's right!  I am 8 weeks pregnant!  I went to the doctor today and saw the little peanut.  We are very excited!  Just wanted to share our happy news...

Now onto the JEWELRY GIVEAWAY which I totally forgot about doing this month!  We have been busy these past few weeks!  You know what to do just leave a comment to enter!  The giveaway is for a $40 Gift Certificate - I may have to give away two since Christmas is around the corner!!!  I'll draw on Sunday night!

Trick or Treat

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!

Down on the farm...

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!!!
