Santa Baby!

My scanner is not hooked up so a picture of a picture will have to do. Yes we went to the mall and stood in line for 2 hours to see the big guy! It was well worth it. Conan LOVED him. He ran right over to him and did not cry. He was even fascinated with his beard. He was the best Santa ever. Thanks sheesha for the recommendation. I can't believe it is already December 5th. The next few weeks will be hectic to say the least. We will be going to Stillwater next weekend and the weekend after that we will be moving and then Christmas will be here. O-well better busy than bored.

Chris finished his classes-thank goodness. I know his is glad to be done, I certainly am.

Thanksgiving...

What a ham! He insists on having as many trucks on his lap as possible and whines until he has them all. Drives me crazy. O-well look how happy he is. He is such a man.

thanksgiving did not turn out as planned. After puking my guts for 24 hours, we decided not to travel to Tulsa for Thanksgiving. Chris went to the store late Wednesday night and somehow pulled off the most AWESOME dinner ever. Thanks honey, you saved the day.

I felt really bad about not getting to go, but I guess it all worked out. Anyway, we are having a good week so far and no one else has gotten sick. Thank goodness!

Up-date

I just love his frog chair he got for his birthday.
This weekend was fairly busy. Saturday I went to CS baby shower and it was so sweet. Her son will be decked out for sure. Saturday night we were able to leave Conan with Taylor and Cassy and eat dinner with Sheesha and her husband at PF Changs. It was yummy and best of all it was adults only! After we got back we all went over to Sheesha's house so the boys could watch UFC.

Sunday we went to baby Jake's baptism. It was very sweet, what I saw of it -thanks to mr. crabby. Sunday afternoon was filled with the halls of IKEA. Taylor, Conan and I went with Sheesha and Mak Mak. I think Sheesha and I could go a little crazy in that place! It was really fun and thanks to Taylor we were able to see almost everything. Conan slept the whole time, thank goodness. Mak Mak was an angel-of course. Conan would never have put up with all that shopping if he had been awake.

I can't believe Thursday is Thanksgiving. Thursday is also Christopher's birthday. I need to take the kids shopping so they can get him a gift. I am excited for the upcoming holidays!

Chuck E Cheese

We had a really nice relaxing weekend. We took the kids to Chuck E Cheese on Saturday afternoon. Conan was still sleepy from his nap and sort of just wondered around. The car with Chuck E Cheese was his favorite ride and we have about 6 pictures to prove it. Oh to be a kid again! Sunday we were lazy and did nothing. Taylor, Conan and I went to Michaels and got some really good stuff on sale.

Pumpkin Time!

Trick or Treat! Conan and Taylor had a good Halloween this year. Our neighborhood was swarming with kids dressed up so cute. We took Rylee and Conan in the wagon and circled around the street. The babies were more interested with the suckers in their hands than anything else, but it was so much fun. Taylor dressed as a..not really sure, all I know is she wanted to wear some "really dark scary" makeup. Ok.
On Sunday night we carved our pumpkins. Conan was enthralled with the insides of the pumpkin and by the time we were through, it was an absolute mess. O-well it was an absolute blast.
I would say that we made some great memories this year and I can only imagine how awesome the years to come will be!

My baby is a year old (well in 2 weeks he will be). Oh my goodness! This year has been filled with so many wonderful memories. Giving birth to Christophers' son has chnged my life in so many ways, so many wonderful ways. To you Conan, I wish you the world. My hope for you is to simply be you, whatever that may be, I wish that for you. I love you sweet baby boy. Thank you.

Soccer Tot!

I see a future soccer player on the rise. One of my friends loaned us this outfit and I thought it was so adorable. Conan had fun playing "soccer" out in the backyard with his Daddy tonight. Of course Chris kicked the ball across two fences and we had to go knock on our neighbors door. Conan is so fascinated with any round object, he could play for hours with a set of balls. I see many long hours of sitting on a hard bleacher in my future. Power to the soccer Moms!

Lions and Tigers and Bears....Oh My!

Nana sent him a costume and I wanted to try it on. He loved it. Everytime I would go to take it off he cried and ran off. He even slept in it all night. I thought that since he doesn't like to wear hats that he would hate the hood but I was wrong. I was cracking up all day watching him play and eat and well, do everything in that costume.
Thanks Nana it made him a very happy camper.
