November Recap

Holy smokes! It's already December! My favorite month!!

Here's what happened in November...

Griffin started the month off with strep throat. I got it a couple weeks later. It was awful. G kept saying, "My mouth hurts momma."  We got in a lot of extra snuggles, and it was the first time I had to pick him up from daycare early. 

We had family photos taken with Jen. This was out selfie afterwards. Haha! G did fantastic, so we bounced in the bounce house afterwards. 

We had a hayride with our couples group. It was a lot of fun!

I had a lot of fun with this kid. I am loving this age!! He is learning so much so quickly. His speech has really taken off the past few months. The daycare workers were just bragging on how smart he was last week. Since he is my first, of course I think he is a genius! But I really don't have anyone to compare him to, so that was nice to hear. 

I'm a NBCT!!!!

Griffin's first milkshake! (Soothes a strep throat!)

Griffin has turned into a pretty picky eater. I have to bribe him with sweets or fruit to get him to eat anything. He would be perfectly fine with juice or milk, so I had to snap a picture during this rare occasion! G ate a big plate full if spaghetti with no prompting! 

His face when he saw the Christmas tree lights! He is SO excited about Christmas. He doesn't know why he is excited, but he gets really wound up!!

He loved putting up the ornaments, and we had such a great time going through the sentimental ornaments we've collected and made over the years. 

Our first Christmas with a fireplace! Just like a postcard!

Playing telescope with Daddy

 

We had dinner with some college friends. The conversation centered around kids. Oh how times have changed!!

I didn't get any photos of Thanksgiving unfortunately. We missed my dad's side's dinner because I had strep, but we made it to my mom's side. I didn't do any Black Friday shopping, but visited my great grandma instead. I snapped this precious keepsake right before we left!

Griffin, Audrey, and Drew watching Charlie Brown. 

Thanksgiving leftovers!! Brandon asked if I ate all that.... Yes... Yes I did. 

Cousins!

Playing in the leaves the last day of November! So fun!

NBCT

Woot woot! Almost a year and a half ago I started this journey. It. Is. (Finally!). Finished!!!!!!!! 👊

October 2014

So for my fourth and final blog post for today... Yikes! This is a recap of October! 

G loves when Rylee Kate comes over for dinner!

The girls went to Branson for Cathryn's bachelorette party. We had a blast! We had dinner on the Landing at Cantina Laredo. Not sure how to spell that... Anyways, we stayed in a huge house at Payne Stewarts golf course. We stayed up and played some games that night, then shopped at Tanger on Saturday. 

Megan and I know how to get it done. 

A couple of my favorite finds were these little boxer briefs for G and raccoon slippers. 

Spending one of our nights eating animal crackers, drinking juice, playing with stickers, and watching movies. 

School picture!

Sunglasses day with my team

Camo day with my intern Miss Sisson

My book character pumpkin this year. We won the grand prize!!

I don't have to leave the couch when G wants more to drink. Ha!!

G is such a mommas boy. He loves to love on me! 

We took G to SDC on a whim. Bran just got out of the deer woods, and we headed up there. G LOVES roller coasters! 

I love my man!

G and I got to hold baby Kenton while we were at Nana's. 

I also got my bangs back! When we got home that weekend, I helped host a shower, but I don't have any pictures of that. :(

Griffin still loves his trains!

This tarantula was on our front door one night. G was scarred for life that night. To this day, he checks that door for spiders every. Single. Time. 

G and Rylee Kate taking a bath!

We went to the Pumpkin Patch with the Flecks. It was SO hot!!!!! We had dinner at All Aboard. Our dinner was delivered by a train! G loved it!

Just for kicks and giggles - a before and after. Two years ago and now. Oh how we've changed!

Trying in Mr. Potato Head's glasses 

Helping daddy wash dishes

Kim had a little Halloween party for the kiddos. We had SO much fun!! We grilled got dogs, had a bump and jump, went in a pumpkin hunt, and set up trick or treat stations for the kids. 

That night we had Trunk or Treat at our church. So fun! Griffin dressed up as Woody, and Bran and I were pirates again. 

Cutest kid ever!
