Family Fun

On Friday, we spent some time at my cousin Kasey's house. Her parents and nieces were there. My mom came over to visit, too. We all had a good time...

Not sure if the hat makes him look like a cowboy or an old timey coal miner


At the end of the night we (Kasey, Andrew, my aunt & uncle, Troy and I) played Compatibility. It's a pretty fun (and mostly hilarious) game.

The game allows for 3 teams (2 people per team) and has identical decks of cards for each person. The cards have all sorts of things on them. For example: a rose, the word "happiness", an expensive car, a baby, 2 clowns, etc... very random stuff. Then on each turn, the die is rolled to determine what the word is for the round. Example: in-laws. Then you go through all of your cards and pick out the ones the best represent your idea of in-laws. The more cards you get in common with your partner the more points you get. We played this game until almost 2 a.m. Yes... TWO IN THE MORNING. Various things were yelled out in the game such as "how in the HECK did you get that card for creative", "the word was SC-HOOL... how did you get THAT for school???", "I didn't dare put that card (a pic of a couple on their wedding day) for the word difficult!" and then toward the end I was getting really poopsy (Troy's way of saying I'm so tired I'm losing my mind).

Favorite Photo Friday


Goofy Be

A photo taken of our dog, BeBe, that passed away when we were in Louisiana. We always joked that her tongue was too long to fit in her mouth.

Evening at the park

This evening we took Baby A to a nearby park. He loved the slides but wasn't as fond of the swings as he used to be. Here are a few photos from our evening...

Climbing up the steps all by himself

Saying "cheese"


Sliding with Mama


Not so sure about the swing


Happy boy

World Wide Fluffy Bum - Pt. 2

A year ago we participated in something neat. It is called World Wide Fluffy Bum (aka Global Fluffy Bum). Well we did it again this year!

Diaper cover and map showing everywhere the cover has been


Baby A holding the cover a year ago on Oct. 9th...


and this year on Nov. 4th...


We didn't get to do much with the cover this time, but A did get to wear it outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery around our home

Ca-eee

Yesterday, Baby A did some "trunk-or-treating" in our neighborhood. He got some yummy ca-eee (candy).

Wearing the white tiger costume Gram's got him...

We went to my mom's house for the evening. Leaving our house we saw a bear...
