Life with George!

Seriously... I cannot believe my little boy! He is getting to big, too fast! Everyday he seems to learn something new, and brings so much joy to our day. While I was thinking about what to get this little stinker for Christmas I thought his letter to Santa would go something like this:

Dear Santa,

This year for Christmas, I really just want access to every cord and outlet in our house. For some reason my mom always tell me NO NO NO. Also if I could get my own six pack of toilet paper to unroll and also a toilet to swish my hands and toilet paper in, then I will eat it. YUM! Another thing that would be great is a garbage of my very own. One that I can feel with all my moms stuff and also take out some yucky stuff and maybe then I will eat it. Oh yea, and have my mom move that thing covering the stairs! I want to head on down. Give me pots and pans, drawers to unload, and more bath toys! Santa... Oh yea and ask my mom if this year I won't have a bed time just like last year!

Thanks,

George

Now really... It doesn't matter what toy I give him, he would prefer all those things!

He is a mover and gets into everything! He is curious about everything, and finds things I can't see, and the vaccum can't pick up.. He is starting to throw tantrums, the arching your back ones..aahhh! Kindof funny though! But more than anything he brings so much joy to our day I can hardly stand it! Sometimes I wonder if I could seriously kiss his cheeks right off. He smiles, he giggles, he kisses, he crawls, he says mama, he says no no no, he is just too BIG! We love our little George, although I am worried about is name sake- CURIOUS GEORGE!

His favorite time of the day!

His best bud Ginger.. He sits and feeds everything I give him to the dog!

Just George doing what he loves best! Toilets, toilet paper, and the garbage by the side of the toilet! (don't worry I wash his hands after these episodes)

And here he is begging for another bath. Every time he heres the shower start he is right there looking in and trying to get over the top!

We LOVE our little guy!

Gingerbread Houses...

On Saturday night we had some of our Kirksville friends over for a little Gingerbread house party! It was fun, and it made Christmas feel like it was finally here!

Here is our little gingerbread house!

Des really out did herself with the amazing design!

Without Lisa we wouldn't have the church!

George loved the night because he got to be the little floor scrounge.. He picked up and ate whatever people dropped... Lots of graham crackers, gumdrops, and gumballs. Lucky we caught most of it! His blue lips show the gumball he had in his mouth... YIKES!

And finally... Our Village! Thanks guys.. I had a blast! (Of course... by this time the husbands are busy watching football!)

Happy Halloween... Late!

Since audreys wedding was Halloween weekend, we got to celebrate again! It was fun being at home to enjoy this Holiday even though it is just halloween! This year George was curious GEORGE for Halloween.. I know, kindof Original! Ha.. But he made a pretty darn cute one if you ask me!

George was not scared one bit of grammys witch he kept going over listening to her and grabbing him some candy out of the dish! But after a few short days I was not ready to go home, so I extended my flight home! INstead of having Jed come pick us up mid week from the airport which would have been six hours we took Kirksvilles little flight from St. Louis to Kirksville.. Now I had heard it was little but just about died when this was what I saw! I was a bit nervous.. But it ended up being great and pretty cool!

The only other people in the plane with us... the captians. Kindof crazy!

George and I!

Thank you captain for the safe arrival...

Audreys Wedding...

We were very grateful we were able to go and celebrate with Audrey and Tye with their wedding. Not only was it a great reason to go home:) but an even better reason to celebrate! We are so excited for both of them!

It was quite a cold day, but I could not get over how beautiful the manti temple looked that day! It was amazing...

I thought these two looked pretty good to!

But these two for sure took the cake! They looked amazing and we are so thrilled for them!
