Down on the Farm - October 18th, 2008

Hello Everyone. I had such a good weekend! Mommy and Daddy took me to Gramma and Grampa's Farm. I got to go on my first four wheeler ride. Daddy drove, while Mommy was holding me tight in the middle. Don't worry, Daddy was very safe and drove very slowly. It was a little chilly out, so I had to wear my hooded jacket. We drove down to the end of the driveway to wait for my cousin, Dylan, to get off of the school bus. We all were so happy to see each other! I also got to play with Riley, who is one of my many girlfriends!! Her parents, Mike and Kelly, are some of Mommy and Daddy's good friends, and they were able to come up for the weekend to hang out with us! Riley and I loved to play. She is only a little over a year older than I am, so we had a lot in common. She is really pretty, and tried to kiss me a couple of times, but I wasn't in the mood. I got to see my Aunt (Pretty) Angie too. She still thinks I am the cutest little baby, and can make me laugh so much. Sorry there are no pictures of you on this post, Gramma, but thank you so much for spending so much time with me over the weekend. Your sweet voice makes my heart melt. I love you and Grampa very much. Enjoy the pictures everyone!

Murray State Football Homecoming October 11, 2008

Hello Everyone. Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Murray State's Football Homecoming over the weekend and had a wonderful time. They took me down campus, and were telling me about the good ole' days. We even went to the bookstore, and I got a cute t-shirt and my very first football!! After that, we down to what they call the Shoe Tree. This is where when two students meet on campus and then marry come back to hang up their shoes to signify their love. It is a really cool idea! Mommy and Daddy started their own shoe tree up at Gramma's and Grampa's Farm, and used the other matching shoe. Sweet, huh?! From there we headed to Tent City and onto the game. We got to visit with some old friends. Murray won the game 51 to 21!! Go Racers!! Mommy and Daddy then met up with one of Mommy's former roommates from college, Emily. It was good visiting with her. What a wonderful weekend. Enjoy the pictures. Love you all.

Begg's Family Farm - October 4 2008

Hello Everyone. Mommy and Daddy took me to my first field trip to Begg's Family Farm. I got to see Pigs race, have little ponies lick my hands, watch Mommy feed the goats, and my favorite part was discovering my first pumpkin! There were so many different sizes of pumpkins, and I got to sit in a trailer full of them! We all had a great time. Love you all.

And The Winner Is.... October 4, 2008

Hello Everyone. Happy Autumn! I had such an exciting weekend! Mommy entered me in another baby contest at a local Fall Festival, and this time I didn't get third place or even second place... I won!!! Mommy and I were so thrilled. Especially after not even placing in the top three at the SEMO Fair a couple of weeks ago. This competition was really cool too. Mommy sat me down on this big blue cover, and the judges would see what all I would do while I was sitting on there. Plus, she took me right up to the judges table, so they could get a good look at how handsome I really was!! By the way, I won the "prettiest eyes" category too. They had a cutest smile category, but since I won so much already the judges had to be fair by allowing another little boy to win something. After my contest Mommy and I strolled around to see all the fun things going on, and I even got to sit on my first hay bail. Mommy and I had so much fun, and are so thrilled that I won! Enjoy the pictures.
Love you all.

Lions and Tigers and.... Bats? Oh My!

Hello Everyone. Halloween is approaching fast, and Mommy is trying very hard to find the cutest costume for me to wear. She first bought me a Lion costume, which I have to admit was pretty darn cute. However, it was way to small. So, Mommy returned it hoping to find a bigger size. Unfortunately, there were no more Lion costumes. So, the next costume she bought was a Tiger. Daddy was really excited about this one because of the Missouri Tigers! The tag said 6-18 months! Pretty broad range of size there. So, Mommy just new this one would fit. Well, the Tiger costume didn't fit me either. Mommy and Daddy were both crushed. Third times a charm, right? Mommy looked everyone for something cute and not silly for me to wear, and decided to go with a Bat costume for now. I tried it on, and it fits really well, but Daddy's not too sure if he likes it or not yet, so there might be a fourth costume attempt. Who knows what I'll end up dressing up as. I'll keep you posted.
