Celebrate

Its been pretty busy around here. We have been busy celebrating mostly, celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, and everything we are thankful for. The month of November, the week before Thanksgiving, is full. We are very thankful to celebrate the wonderful years we have had with all the family memebers that have had birthdays. We are also very thankful for the 2 wonderful years of marriage Sam and I have had together. The birthday that is so hard to believe we have celebrated already is our little mans'! Its been a fast and wonderful year with him, we have learned so much from him and he continues to amaze us and steal our hearts with his amazing smiles and laughs and the things he figures out how to do. He is so smart, determined, and I have no doubt when he sets his mind to anything he will be able to accomplish it and there will be no stopping him or talking him out of it. For now while we are trying to teach him right from wrong and to obey its a little tough, but its so amazing to see that spirit in him already. We love him so much and are so thankful for every moment we are given with him. He opened his first birthday present and loved the paper and tissue.

Playing with his new tractor.

He loves looking outside, I think if he could be outside all day he would, the next best thing is standing at a window.

1 week

A week ago today

• We took my brother and sister in law to the airport
• Its hard to believe its only been a week
• We went from seeing them pretty much everyday
• To just pictures

I love you both, we had a great time!

This was in the car ride to the airport. Sorry for the quality of the picture, it was too dark so I just fidgited with it so you could see it and thought it was kinda cool like that.

AH HA!

Look what I found on my camera!

Its only been a week since they left but I miss them. We had a great visit with you and can't wait for the next one!

crazy 2 weeks

Sorry it has been ahwile since I last blogged. We have been rather busy around here. Sunday the 3rd we has a wedding reception/open house for my brother and sister in law who are visiting from Veitnam and got married last october 22. And since my sister is pregnant, and in Vietnam they don't do baby showers we thought it would be a good idea to expose her (my sister in law) to a baby shower...so that got planned for the following Sunday the 10th. So hopefully needless to say, I have been a little busy around here, taking care of a 10 month old busy body, getting ready for a reception, getting ready for a baby shower, taking meals to the field (which they finished up harvest last Friday!), trying to spend as much time with my brother and sister in law while they are still here, and keeping the house in somewhat liveable conditions. The house got the brunt of the neglet, which I am now paying for and trying to clean up. But anyway. I am pretty terrible about taking the camera anywhere, and if I do happen to remember it I usually forget to take pictures. I will have to get pictures from my mom and sister and post some later. But in the mean time here are a few pictures I did get taken.

Not the best face, but this was his last ride in the combine for the year, kinda sad.

I love this picture, not sure if I can fix it up any to make it look better, I guess I love the idea of this picture! Its been very dry so very dusty, and on the last night of harvest you just get it done and don't worry about cleaning your windows!

Waking Up

Most of the time he wakes up like his dad...bright eyes and ready to go. Some times though, and I am cherishing these times, he wakes up and just wants to snuggle with mommy. I love it!

Nose

As requested by my grandmother; I am going to try and post more often. I have wanted and tried to since I started blogging but I am really going to try real hard! :) This little cutie pie scrunches his nose up and gives this big ole cheeser its so adorable. Makes me laugh just thinking about it! Here are some of the different stages of his cheese. He knows when the camera is out and will really cheese it up after the flash goes off, so we are working on learning to cheese when mommy says "say cheese".

Oh man I love this guy so much!
