4 months!

So after many threats from the four people that actually read this blog (Keeley, Whitney, Kelly, and dad) I am writing another post. But just for the record,,,I just dont think there are alot of exciting things going on right now to post!! But I will put together a couple stories for this one just for you guys!


We took Charlie to his first pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago. Little chilly but I was determined to get a great family photo. So the 14 year old that was working seemed like the perfect person to come take a snapshot of this momentous occasion. Little did I know he was going to near cut off Ash's head in the photo and not center at all. Bless his heart. (this one doesnt look so bad,,,but the other one was ridiculous. I do not see photography in this kids future,,,maybe just pumpkins)





So Halloween rolls around and everyone wants to know what Charlie will be. But for the record I have NEVER been a fan of scary stuff and after I grew out of the plastic masks of strawberry shortcake and wonderwoman,,,my eyes were opened to lots of scary creatures. I remember going trick or treating at our old house with Todd and Keeley. You guys remember that? Good times. Of course now that I am a dental hygienist, I understand the detriment candy can cause to your teeth. Yet another reason to skip Halloween. I hate scary commercials promoting scary movies. Even the Verizon ones that talk about the "dead-zone". Seriously!! Can you come up with a better slogan? yeesh.


So Ash wants to know what Charlie was going to be for his first year. I was going to be creative and have him be a "biker baby". His Aunt Jennifer got him a cute onesie that has a baby on a motorcycle and and the head would be Charlies. Then my hairstylist Nikki got him a rock-n-roll sweatshirt. Ok. so not exactly black leather chaps but he was going to be a "Bad to the bone baby." Ash was embarrassed at my attempt so here are those pics. I will do better next year. Promise:) I mean its not like he was out walking around asking for candy. He was watching the UT game to be exact...







Also, last night we got together with our dear friends the Rayburns. We have grown up with this family and around the holidays used to always get together for dinner and exchanging of presents. Of course summer times were filled with trips to Opryland and still would be had Nashville not have made the bonehead call to tear it down. Anywho, over time with new marriages and kids we havent been able to get together as often, but last night we finally got together at Mrs. Dixie's house. It was perfect! Great to laugh at old stories and new ones, and see all the kids playing! Mom was taking pictures, but she may have taken photo lessons from the 14 year old at the pumpkin patch cause half of hers had heads cut off or mouths full of food. I cant pull the good ones up to my post,,, something wrong with the attachment or some computer lingo. But we love you guys and loved loved loved getting together!


Couple more pics of my now 4 month old!!! BANANAS!





I do have some cute Christmas outfits though,,,and some cute Turkey Day ones too!!! So I will put my biker baby in those a little later....
