Funnies....

Alec is always talking and you never know what he’s going to say!  Here are a few funnies from lately!


On the way home one afternoon he saw a car with it’s lights on and says:  “Do we not have our light heads on?”

While eating a Happy Meal:  “I'm getting full of fries. I'm growing big like dad”


On the way to town, he says “Look at that cool red Jeep Mom! Do you want one of those” Me - Yes, I want one do you? “No, I want a black truck for 20 pounds!”


This morning Dustin asked if he wanted to be a doctor when he grows up, he says, “No I want to be Spiderman, he helps good people and he punches bad people!”

Out-takes and Re-takes

After church Sunday, we met our friends, Mandi, Adam and Kara to eat lunch and go pick out Christmas trees together!  We also attempted to get a “perfect” picture for our Christmas card. You can see there were lots of “re takes” and “out takes” but we really did end up getting 5 pictures that I thought were good enough for the card!  I even got my cards ordered last night!  Trying to get ahead of the game this year!!  Here are lots of pictures from our adventure!

Alec loved riding on the golf cart, looking for a tree!  It didn't go nearly as fast as he was used too, but I think with 7 of us on board, it was getting a workout!

I LOVE the fact that Kaleigh still LOVES to ride in her backpack!

She's up for anything as long as she can ride!

"I'll steer and you mash the gas!"

They are such Sweet Friends!

Those two are up to no good!

Christmas 2011

We had LOTS of pics like this!

Sister is so happy!

She couldn't sit as well as we thought and had a small tumble!

WE LOVE THESE KIDS!

Happy 5 Month Sister!

Sister, Today is your 5th Month Birthday!  Yes, "Sister" and "Sis" are commonly used as your names around the house!  As usual, Alec was excited to come wake you up this morning.  He climbs in your bed and turns your projector on every morning and shows you fish on the ceiling.  He asks me about 100 times every morning if it is time to come and wake you up.  You are always excited for him to climb over in your bed in the mornings!

You are still not sleeping wonderfully....  You get up around 4 every morning for a bottle, but go straight back to bed until 7:30 or so.  Last night, Dad fed you at bedtime and put you in the bed.  I went in to tuck you in before I went to sleep and noticed Dad had laid you on your back (you are a belly sleeper)!  Dad is trying ANYTHING to get you to sleep through the night!! ha!!  Well, about 10:30, you screamed for us to come roll you over!! As soon as I rolled you over, you let out a deep breath and slept until your normal 4am!   I guess you didn't like Dad's experiment!

You are eating baby food now at lunch and at dinner.  We've tried almost all of the fruits and veggies, but so far you will not eat the fruit!  You love all veggies but make HORRIBLE faces if we try to sneak in a fruit!  You are wearing 6 month clothes and still in a size 2 diaper.  You are such a happy baby as long as you are being entertained!  You still love to bathe and will squeel and roll all around on the bath rug every night while I'm running your bath water.  You roll back to front really well now, but I still haven't seen you go belly to back!

Trick or Treat!

We had a busy but FUN Halloween weekend.  Dustin and I went to an adult party at the Parker's Saturday night and had fun with friends!  We dressed up in our usual cop/jail bird attire!  Same theme but different costumes every year! So if you ever need a jail bird or cop outfit, just let me know, we've got PLENTY!

Sunday night was the annual Trunk or Treat at first.  This was our first time to participate and we had a blast!  Everyone parks their cars around the parking lot, decorates their trunk and hands out candy.  We parked by our friends, The Broome's and Alec had fun with their kids, Lilian and Gavin.  The Martins all came too and had fun watching Will Trick or Treat for his first time.

Daddy and Spiderman!

The Angry Birds!

The Faggerts always have the coolest costumes!

Cousin Will was all decked out in his Cars gear!

There was even a BLACK CAT at this house! AGGHH!

Alec got the good end of this deal!

CRAZY BAT GIRL!

We had tons of Trick or Treators in our neighborhood!  Paps passed out candy from 4:45 to 8:30!  Whew, we finally had enough and had to turn out the lights!!

Trip to the Fair

Last week, we took Alec for our yearly trip to the Laurel Fair.  We always have lots of fun eating, playing games and looking at the animals, however, this year was extra special because Alec is finally over the 36" mark and can some of ride the rides!  I wasn't sure how it would go, as Dustin and I were not able to ride all of them with him, but he LOVED it, he rode everything that he was able to ride and never looked back!  Kaleigh stayed home with Mimi and Papa this year, but we look forward to taking her next year! 

Tilt a Whirl!  This one lasted a little to long for mom and dad!

Flying on the dinosaur!

The swings were one of his favorites and mine too!

One of our many "snacks".  We ate aligator on a stick,

corn dogs on a stick and chicken on a stick!  DELICIOUS!

Alec's favorite by far was the "gator coaster".  It was a "one seater" but this little friend climbed in next to Alec and refused to get out! ha!

Dad being extra brave while Alec and I watched from the ground!

Crazy Boys!

Arms up like Daddy!!

Nana, Aunt Patty and Paps even joined in on the fun!

The pony ride was pretty fun!

Another gator coaster ride!  It had been broken for an hour or so after the last two cars fell off of the track!! AGGHH!!  Don't call DHS, we let him back on even after it was broken down.

The petting zoo was my favorite and this year they even had carrots that the animals LOVED!

Mr. Camel about to bite Dustin! ha! 

After Dustin's year in Iraq, he's not especially fond of camels!

The camel liked carrots too!

A cute and fuzzy cow!
