"Yammies"

Great Christmas Gift Ideas

I just got an email from Aunt Wanda asking if we thought Cole might like a particular gift and it got me thinking that the holidays are right around the corner. So many of us are trying to find the perfect gift, right? Well, of course you can always order personalized stampers and embossers from me-I know granted I ever get them uploaded, I know, I know. But another great gift is embroidered anything!

I have a friend that does monogramming and embroidery. Her name is Jamilyn and she owns Peabody's Boutique. Please take a look at her website because you're sure to find someone the perfect gift! Will and I are having our stockings embroidered and we have used her to embroider little boy boxers and tees and little girl bloomers. You have to check out her stuff-super cute!

I am going to try to see if I can get a pic of Cole in his boxers or take one and put it up. He looks like a little man.

Princess Birthday Party Invitation

"Mommy Get Out"

Nana was over last night and she and Cole were playing in his room for quite some time. I decided I wanted in on the fun so I went in there and Cole threw me out! I felt horrible so I told Will to go in and see if he got thrown out too, he did and I felt much better. Then I went in again to capture it on video:

Tantrum Proof

This was last night...I can't even remember what he was distraught about. Movie-time calmed him down pretty quickly. I love movie time!

*Note: I don't like him to watch tv but we have noticed that in order to wind him down and ready for bed, it helps if he gets to watch tv (or "mowies") with us. After a few minutes if this, we pick him up and he usually says "night night" to us as we walk to his room. We lay him down, he says "no honey", it breaks our heart (sometimes we give in) and he puts himslef to sleep. I hope this lasts a few months. Oh, and thank God for time change! He fell asleep an hour earlier!

Happy Halloween!!!

Pretty sad, but I have my Halloween cards that are sitting here in the study waiting to be addressed. It's no longer Halloween but I ordered them and by golly I am sending them out anyway! When I get around to it, maybe after Christmas. Here's a sneak peak at them...


and the back....

Hello Kristina!

I have a public blog so that everyone can read it. I like sharing my family life with everyone. Rumor has it however that someone very interesting is reading my blog. Because of this, I have to be very very careful what I post on this blog.

My sister has a stalker who is now my stalker. Her name is Kristina. She has found my blog and is now an avid reader scanning it for information on my sister. I will no longer be posting about my sister or her son, Kaindan, because google searches on them bring my blog up. It's pretty neat, try it. I've made sure to hide all posts about my sister and Kaindan so she finds this particular one. Hopefully she "googles" it again soon and finds this little note:

Hello Kristina! I'd love to hear from you, we all would, so please post a comment or email me.
