Thanksgiving

I am a bit late getting Thanksgiving pictures up.....but better late than never! : )





Holidays back home in Mississippi are always fun! We got to stay for a good while this trip.....it was a great visit!








Eating cheese on Thanksgiving day.....












In Clem at Uncle Scott's house/farm! : )














Sitting in the back of Daddy's car wathching the horses graze....

Looking at the turkey in Nonnie's yard with Uncle Brantley.....I really need to post a video of her saying what the turkey says....hilarious!

Lee's niece, Katie, riding her horse....

Will is 3 months old!

Happy 3rd month, my sweet boy!

Really, Will keeps proving every day that he might just be the sweetest and easiest baby around (if he will just learn to sleep through the night!!!!....he is not bad at night....he often wants to just talk and smile.....but not sleep! :)).  These might not be the best quality of pics.....Aunt Jessica took them on her phone....but they were so cute....Will was just laughing away at his uncle.  :)  I also haven't downloaded any pictures to my comp. in a while....I have got to catch up.  I will post some updated and Thanksgiving ones soon!  :)   

Puppy Dog and China Doll

happy halloween!

We had a fun night at our church's Fall Family Festival.  Liza was a little China girl (in a real Chinese outfit from China that a student from China gave me while pregnant with Liza...).  Will was a precious (mostly sleeping) puppy dog (Thanks Mrs. Lydia for the Hudson's special!)  Enjoy some photos!

 Let's hope she has more skills than her mom and dad......

Could she be more happy????

The funny part was how she thought even the giving of the candy was a game.  She would play a game, the volunteer would give her candy, she would laugh and hand the candy back!

Puppy Love.....

Hitting a sugar low....time for bed.....

Our really spooooooky halloween spider that we found outside our window.  We took pictures and named him Fred.  He is now gone, though.  I will not miss Fred. 

The heavens declare Your greatness

The oceans cry out to You

The mountains they bow down before You

So I’ll join with the earth

And I’ll give my praise to You

Fall Beach Trip

Last weekend we met my family at Seaside for a fall getaway! The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun! Enjoy some pictures......they are in no particular order. I am too tired to organize them....especially after spending an hour with Lee on his facebook account! Exactly why I don't do facebook....haha.

Liza and cousin, Maddie Grace. They are exactly 3 months apart.....and no, Liza is younger even though she is bigger. :)

This was day 2 at the beach......I promise I am not crazy for having my little girl in a bathing suit in October..........it was kinda chilly, but wait till you see what happened on day one when I DIDN'T let her wear a swim suit.

birds eating graham crackers off jarrod's back.....hilarious!

matt and jess with alan and maddie grace

yes, that is a blanket at the beach. She is quite obsessed with it now.....she calls it her nye nye (night night). But, it is no particular blanket......actually anything soft will do.

My sweet, sweet boy......

So in love.......so cheesy. :) Tiff, I can just hear you making fun of this pic.

No, this is not a bad picture of Liza with her eyes closed. She was actually falling asleep with her hand in a bag of chips. Again, these pics are out of order, but you are about to see what exhausted her so much.....

the whole fam chillin

catching some good zzz's with daddy....

Nonnie and Granddaddy hangin' with Will. :)

Here is where the fun begins: Again, I am too tired to put all these in order......we are looking at them backwards. But, basically, Lee took her just to let her put her toes in the water.......she loved it so much she kept running full speed ahead into the ocean. There was no stopping her. And her laughter made it all worth the worry of the cold water! Thus, the swimsuit the next day. On a side funny note: notice the flower in her hands. Lee picked it for her on the way to the beach.....it made it in every picture......the girl never let go of it. :) Even in all her running and falling into the water!

cold face.....she is not crying, though.....she got back up laughing and running back into the water every time!

making another mad dash to the water....

Lee trying with all his might to keep her out......obviously we gave in. :)

Here is at the beginning when she is just discovering how much she likes the water....

headed to the beach....

Nonnie with all her grandbabies. Maddie Grace, Will, Liza, and Alan

Just waking up in granddaddy's arms.....

Will is 2 months old!

How sweet it is to watch your baby begin to show their personality! Will has been smiling for a couple of weeks now....and he has even begun cooing and talking to us. I never knew a baby did these things this early....Liza was such a serious baby! I don't know that she really smiled until almost 4 months! :) Which is so funny to think about now because she laughs hysterically all the time....even when she just hears someone laughing on TV. :) Back to Will.....happy 2nd month, sweet boy! You are such an easy and happy baby.... You fill my days with joy! I love watching you take in this new world! Most of all, I love that you are still so young that you make me feel as though I am all you need. I love our quiet little moments....you smile and talk to me as if I am the only person in the world. I am soaking it all up now.....I know by next month you will have awakened to the world even more....you will probably soon become so smitten with your big sis that you will forget all about me! :)
