Changes

I have to say, I am not at all against change. Change is good....most of the time. But, when it has to do with my babies growing up, I'm not at all for it! Today has been one of those big changes for me. I have went from this baby...(notice the flag and the funnel)

This is the back of that sweet head! I took this picture so I could remember these curls!!!

Gradual cutting off, in case you haven't noticed yet...(he still has paci mouth in this picture. I know I'm weird for calling it that, but his mouth changed soooo much when he quit sucking it!)

See all that beautifu,l long blonde hair...(sniff, sniff)

Over the summer a bit more got cut off...

...to this big boy! Today was time for a trim and he wanted short hair since, "I'm 5 now and you said I could spike my hair when I turned 5!!!" Boy I kinda regret saying those words!!! (and yes his shirt is wet because he spilled a drink on himself in the car.)

My Bug is growing up!

I do like his new do, it just makes him look like a little boy and not my baby anymore. Thank goodness Bryan is asleep right now because he'd laugh at me because I'm crying! I did fine while he got it cut, I guess it's just reminiscing thru these pics that has me tore up!

It's That Time Again

It's Upward Basketball time again!!! Woop Woop!!! Noah is  super excited!!! He loves Upward better than anything else he plays!!! And, I love it because not only do they get to learn the fundamentals of the game, but they get to have fun and not be soooo competitive!!! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want him to be competitive, it is good at times, I just think it is good to have a more relaxed, laid back event!!! And at this age isn't it about fundamentals and fun??? Some may not agree with me here, but to each his own. Ha! And even more importantly it is played in a christian atmosphere and they get to learn a new bible verse and hear a devotion every week! It just amazes me, and breaks my heart, too, that so many children don't ever get to hear the word of God!! This is just a great time for the community! At the end of the "season" they have an awards ceremony and both years that Noah has played there have been 4 or 5 children to be saved!(out of 150 or so kids)  What a blessing! I guess I should say I'm super excited, too!!!

This Is For You Chrissy

Chrissy informed me that I needed to update the blog, so here you go Chrissy! We have been busy, busy, busy since the last post. So, I'm doing lots of "emptying the iphone" like some of the other blogs I've read! The last weekend in September Cassie, Winter, Heather, Harmony, and I took a girls trip to the beach. The water was so calm, but there were TONS of jellyfish.

Me and Winter at Lulu's 

On the beach.(I didn't take lots of pics, but I do have one of all of us on the elevator, but cannot find it!)

The next weekend Bryan, the boys, and I went again since Noah was out of school. And, it just so happened to be Thunder On The Gulf. The boys loved it!

The boats were so cool.

We watched them race from the balcony.

We came home on Monday and Noah had to do a little project for school. Show reuse or recycle of a milk carton. So, he decided on a bird house.

We got the rock work around the pool finished, finally! This is a pic of it at night.

Another night shot.

We went to Cheaha one day.

We even went to a pumpkin patch that same day, but I for got to upload those pics so I'll do a separate post on that.
This is pics of the rock work during the day so you get a better idea.

Well hello there Skiddles. I can't do anything outside without the dog or cat up under me.

I made Avery Claire's snowman pillow case dress and am now working on getting Addyson's done.

We have terrible bed head mornings!

I made witch hat cookies for the church fall festival.

We've been down to the creek. Dalton spent the night with Noah and he went with us on this day.

Halloween came and went!

We carved pumpkins.

 

We went to the creek and had some pics made. Sorry some are blurry. I got Chrissy to take some with my phone for me.

Well folks, we are to the end of this post. Maybe I won't take so long to post again, Chrissy. But, I am NOT making any promises :)
