Boys, Boys, Boys!

Here are a few pictures we snapped around the house last week of the boys. They are ALWAYS keeping us busy, but in a very good way. Curt is becoming Mr. Independent and Jack is EVERYWHERE. They also love their bath time, so I included some pictures from that!

All clean and very happy

Visit with Cousins

Here are some pictures of Curt and Jack with their Madeline, Marleigh, and Meredith this weekend. We enjoyed having them here on Saturday. Each of the girls wanted a turn holding Jack. They think he is a baby doll :)

Oh Christmas Tree

Let me begin by saying that putting out Christmas decorations this year was an experience. Having a 1 year old dig through the boxes and drag out everything before I could even collect my thoughts was a bit stressful. In all honesty, he really did great considering our house was turned upside down. However, I was exhausted by the end of the day and went to bed REALLY early.

Curt is funny with the tree. I didn't really know how he would be when it was all said and done and occupying a corner of "his" living room. Would he take ornaments off one-by-one? Would he pull the entire thing down? Perhaps he would try to unscrew light bulbs. Fortunately, he has been wonderful and loves "looking" at the ornaments on his level. Every time he would try to touch something we quickly responded with "no-no" "just look". Now he just points and leans in really close to "look" at the tree careful not to touch. He is so funny like that. Anyway, after the tree went up we wanted to take some pictures of him with some Christmas pajamas as a fun keepsake.

Later that night he kept crawling in Tank's bed pretending to be asleep. Of course he wouldn't lay there long enough for me to snap a good picture, but I did what I could do!!

Count Your Blessings....Name Them One By One

Since the Thanksgiving festivities have begun, I would like to write a post on some of the things I am thankful for this year. There is no way I could begin to count all the things I am thankful for one by one, but I can begin with a wonderful husband and a little boy who rocks my world. I am also thankful for wonderful family and friends that make our life full of joy. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving this year :) Here are some pictures of our little Turkey from the month of November.Happy Veterans Day Dad :)Tank and Curt Best FriendsThe night Curt got his first haircut. We really frizzed it out so you could tell a dramatic difference. So this is before......Uh Oh!! (Curt's favorite thing to say) Where did my hair go?Thanks Mom and Dad for my new haircut! I LOVE IT!!

Daycare Fall Festival

Tonight was Curt's first fall festival. Even though we didn't stay a long time we really had a good time. Curt loved having the freedom to walk around and RUN. I can't hardly keep up with him now. He got to wear his Halloween costume and see his daycare friends. We participated in the Cake Walk, duck pond, and the football toss. Let me just add that Lee and I discussed when we left how thankful we were to have Curt in such a great daycare. I have nothing but good things to say about Morningstar and all of their wonderful workers. We have been blessed with a great teachers that truly love our child. After the festivities we ate a "quick" but nice supper with Misty, Bobby, and Branson. Below are some pics I snapped tonight in between running around chasing our wild man. Happy Fall!!!

Fall and All It's Many Changes

Well....I am a bit behind on my blogging. I guess I can officially say Curt is in the 1 year old stage and life is busy. Curt is walking everywhere and into everything. He is changing so much each day and doing so many "new" things. Right now everything is Bye-Bye and he constantly wants to go outside. He will stand by the door, wave, and tell us Bye-Bye. I think he has watched Tank do this way to many times. His little personality is coming out and he is just a ball of energy. Here are some pictures from the past 2 months, mostly taken by Linda Kay because I really started slacking in my picture taking.

Oh, How Time Flies!!

Well...a year as come and gone. I cannot believe our baby boy is 1!! After the party last night (and Curt went to sleep) Lee and I stayed up and looked at pictures from the past year. So before I do a birthday party post, I wanted to share some pictures of Curt over the past 12 months.
