Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

My sister and Josh came in town for Thanksgiving so we had a jam packed week! It's always so fun when they are in town... I wish they could come in town every holiday!

Lindz decided to go ahead and bring Christmas gifts since we were all together! Grayson got some fun bath toys!

Getting spoiled by his Lindz with some Adidas gear!

Dada got spoiled too!

The last time Lindsey was in town she played this airplane game with Gray where they ran around the house and crash landed in the floor. It was so cute, the very first night Grayson said "Let's play airplane!" to Lindsey. We were so confused... he remembered!


He also got his own microphone... right up his alley!

My little rockstar in the making:)

Giving Josh his KU blanket.

Just what the boys needed!!

The next morning he started the day out right with some 'Slap Yo Momma' Pie! It was yummy to say the least!

Just a little Thanksgiving Day parade action while terrorizing Daddy with blocks!


Off to Bic Bic & Papa's we went for Thanksgiving Lunch!

Megan giving Grayson a hard time saying that is "her" David. Grayson tends to think everybody is "mine".


My boys;)

"His" Papa!!

Poses don't last long that is for sure!

The best family pic we could get... it's quite impossible these days!

Then off to Nonna & Pop's we went for Turkey Dinner!

Having her here makes the holidays so much better!

A lil photo op on the front porch!

"Look, say cheese!"


He's just like his Momma when it comes to black olives! Hehe!

Who me?!

Copper is always pooped when there are multiple family functions in a row! Of course she's part of the fam & comes along for them all!

Graysons version of "turkey dinner" haha!

My favorites!

I made this plaque for Lindsey and surprised her with it! I am pretty positive it will be the only one I ever make... talk about time consuming and detailed, but it was worth it for the beautiful bride! It's a mix of all of their first dates, special places, wedding details, etc!

He looves his Lin Lin!

The turkey carver!

It was a day to remember! We felt thankful indeed:)

October Phone Pics!

I know October seems like a century away, but I am slowly but surely catching up! I am really trying to enjoy the holiday season and not worry about these silly stresses that can sometimes get in the way! I am loving watching Grayson enjoy the first Christmas where he really "gets" it all. There is nothing like it! So bare with me if I'm kinda lacking on the blog for a bit;)
 
Here's good ole' October through the phone;)
 
This day Grayson told me to go inside they were having "boy time"... hehe! I love it!
 
We love to feed the ducks 200 times a week!
 
those curls;)
 
Picnics are at the top of our list too!
 
Hot slippery sweaty boys! The best!
 
Just me & my baba!
 
Bright eyed & bushy tailed on the way to school one morning!
 
One of my favorite pictures... eat em' up!
 
A little festiveness at the Clarks!
 
Dada testing out Gray's Halloween costume! Hehe!
 
Bribing him with candy corn to take a full costume shot!
 
Fun crew after church!
 
These following pictures are a little glimpse into bedtime at our house...
 
Brusha Brusha Brusha!
 
I think I can...
 
I think I can...
 
I know I can...
 
I can!! haha! I really helped him get in!
 
Park time with our Copper Top!
 
Punkins everywhere!
 
And a cute little punkin right there!
 
So some amazing person opened up a Mellow Mushroom right down the street from us! We visit frequently to say the least!
 
Gray calls it the peetzie place!
 
A little breakfast date @ Perkins with Momma one morning!
 
We shared but I'm pretty sure he could have polished it all off!
 
He's gonna be a good big bro one day... 1st the sanitizer!

and then the lotion! I love it!
 
He had his first school pictures and they just melted me! My little ham;)
 
As I said before... we have a little OCD'ness on our hands! Between Chris & I the boy don't have a chance!!
 
Early mornin' 4 wheeling with Pop! Safety first!
 
Daddy was obviously not in attendance... ;) Vol Victory!
 
This never gets old... Church is tiring!
 
Haha! Chris will kill me, but he was bugging us so bad about a haircut one week we just had to! Hehe!! Sorry Dada... it came out after 2 seconds!!
 
Every time we go to the mall Chris & Grayson go up & down the escalator... he could do it all day! It's their little thing!
 
He plays so hard these days! Naps are crucial!
 
As I said... O.C.
 
D. :) We went through a phase where he had to do this EVERY morning and you could not sit on the couch where they were. It was "their" spot. Luckily he's passed it and it's ok to share the couch again, haha!
 
This poor face makes me so sad. We were at Mellow Mushroom and he was so fussy... I thought he was just tired only to go home to brush his teeth and see that he had hand, foot & mouth ulcers all over his mouth! Poor baby! Luckily he had the mild case and only had the mouth part. It was pitiful.
 
This was the next day and Mommy had to venture out for sick baby necessities... he did not want Mommy to leave and this is what I found when I pulled up. Still waiting at the door, sick angel needed Momma!
 
I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas! Now to get back to my babies, present wrapping & the other fun this month has in store... November posts to come soon!
