I thank God every day for blessing me with such a wonderful husband and father to Tuff. He works hard to provide for us and make us happy in any way he can. I have to admit, me and Tuff are truely blessed!

A simple kind of weekend....

The title pretty much sums up our weekend. Friday night we ended up skipping the last home football game. It was just too cold to have Tuff out in. We went to dinner at Applebee's and headed to Wal-Mart for groceries. Saturday morning we had breakfast and headed over to BaBa's for hair cuts. Tuff played while mama and daddy got hair cuts.
Baba bought him this witch hat last year for Halloween

After hair cuts we headed home to rest before Amanda's cook out. We went over there around 6 and had hamburgers, garlic potatos, mac and cheese, and baked beans. It was YUM. We were SO tired Saturday night though. We didn't stay long after we ate before we headed home and pretty much went straight to bed.

Sunday morning BaBa picked up buddy for church. We got a little time to ourselves to relax and get lunch together. It was nice. My Nana got married Sunday afternoon at 4. It was a nice, simple wedding.

Sweet baby Ada

I loved this picture of MeMe and Tuff. The sun was just a liiiitttle bright.

Buddy and Papa

And the best for last, MY sweet family.

Once we got home, Daddy laid down for some last minute rest before having to go back to work and mama and Buddy played... and played... and played! :) I love some quailty play time with baby boy....

Happy Monday!

Our weekend


Homecoming week took place last week in Cannon Co. Every year during this week, they have a parade on Friday afternoon with all the class floats, sports floats, and students. I wasn't able to get the time off so mom thought it'd be a good idea to take buddy. She said he was a really good boy and he seemed to enjoy the parade. Here are a few pictures of him soaking up the fun...

I told mom to get some pictures of Dalton while she was there and she got 2. I guess that's better than nothing. He looks mad in both these pictures but I think the sun was in his eyes and of course, Tuff is looking away from the camera.
Dalton is in the middle standing behind the short kid :)

Sweet boys ;)

Friday night we went to the football game. It was freeeeeezing. I had poor little Tuff all bundled up. He had to of been warm except his poor little hands... they were cold. Of course, he didn't seem to mind at all. He was such a good boy. He gets better and better at each game. Too bad it's almost over and then basketball starts up. Oh me. We'll have to train him in the inside atmosphere then. I can't even begin to imagine how that's going to go. Here are a few pics from the game...

Getting ready to head home...

The rest of the weekend was somewhat laid back. Saturday morning we got up and headed to the grocery store. After we got home and got all the groceries put away, Tuff laid down for a snoozy. Me and daddy watched a little bit of football and had some lunch. We also cleaned the house a bit. Once Tuff woke up I headed to get the boys, Dalton & Courtland. Sydney (our niece) was having a birthday party at 6:00 and we were taking the boys since their mom was still running errands. We only stayed at the party for a little over an hour. There were lots of kids there and Tuff was just too little to be running around under them all night. I didn't get any pictures since we were there such a short time. We invited Amanda & Rodger over to cook out later that night so they came over once we got home from the birthday party. We grilled some steaks and hung out for a while. Everyone was tired so they left around 11 and we all headed night, night. Sunday was a LAZY day. It was nice!!! I was looking foward to at least one lazy day this weekend. We all slept in until 8:30. I cooked pancakes for breakfast and then we all laid down for a nap about 11:30. We all slept til about 2, had lunch, and watched Curious George, twice! :) I was amazed how Tuff picked Curious George out of all of our dvd's on the dvd stand (we have ALOT). He even laid there and watched the whole movie. I made lasagna for dinner and then we played until bed time...

Jordan had a "spook house" when he was little. Carolyn found it the other day and we have decided to give it to Tuff. We have it on his dresser in his room for Halloween decor.

In the light

Tuff LOVES all the Halloween decorations. He just goes on and on "talking" about them and pointing to them constantly. We have a witch on the inside of the door that cackles when you touch her. I think she's his favorite. He likes to hit her to make her cackle and he also gives her some of those sweet kisses he has. ;)

While we were playing in his room last night, I got a few pictures. He also is sporting his new "road racer" pj's in these pictures.

Sweet boy

And... this is buddy's latest trick, CLIMBING. He wants to climb on EVERYTHING.

Accomplished! :)

While changing the sheets on baby boy's crib tonight, we noticed this....


Can you tell what this is???? Apparently buddy's been chewing on the rail while he's standing up on the side of his crib. This picture shows the damage from his TEETH. UGH! This was an expensive crib. It's also convertible so once it makes into a full size bed, this rail will be at the end of the bed where it shows the most. I don't know what to do about this or have any ideas on how to stop it. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

I know this was a long post with lots of pictures but I thought I'd end it with this sweet video of our baby boy. Watch closely, at the end as he's looking and pointing up, he says "CAT." His new favorite word. :)

Happy Monday!
