Turkey Treats

Last week I made these Oreo Turkeys for Bo’s class.  They were a huge hit, definitely a new Thanksgiving tradition!!

 

Opera Company of Philadelphia

On October 30th, the Opera Company of Philadelphia had 600 singers surprise shoppers at Macy’s in Philadelphia for their “Random Acts of Culture”.  Can you imagine just being in there shopping and this starting… it’s beautiful!

Precious Family Moments

So a few weeks ago we had some family pictures taken by a sweet friend of mine.  It’s been a year since we have had “professional” pictures taken and man the difference between a child almost two and a child almost three is huge!!!!   He did NOT want to cooperate.  I do have to admit it was so cold, so you did have to be a trooper.  He didn’t want to smile, I know people thought we were crazy if they saw us trying to get him to laugh or smile.  I kept telling Jarrod I couldn’t wait to see them just because I knew there would be some that would be hysterical!  Sure enough there were…this is a true “picture” of life with Bo these days!

Now that you got a good laugh I will share some of the cute ones…the rest you’ll just have to wait and see!  Still trying to pick out our Christmas card picture so I’m not going to post them all.

 

 

He wouldn’t let her take one of just Jarrod and I…He had to be in the middle!

I absolutely pictures of hands and feet because they are going to grow so fast and will never be this size again.

this one I love how safe he looks in daddy’s arms and also the size comparison, how tiny he is compared to daddy.

  

Costume Parade

We had Bo’s school costume parade this morning and it was absolutely adorable!!  I think the batteries were dying in my camera because it was very slow taking pictures so they didn’t come out great, but you get the idea.  Each class walked around the room three times it was hysterical!!  Of course, Bo being the ham he is was eating up all the attention!!!  He’s really excited about Halloween, I think it’ll be fun this year…he seems to get it and he practices saying “trick or treat” all the time!

    

  

Toy Story on Ice

A few weeks ago Jarrod and I took Bo to Toy Story on Ice!  He loved it!!!  You could tell he was a little unsure of what everything was, but he had a blast watching it.  He REALLY loved the popcorn!!  We had great seats, they were actually Jarrod’s company club seats, so Bo was really able to see everything really well.

Waiting for the show!

            

Mommy’s attempt at a picture…mouth full of popcorn!

This was his first time to see the characters come out!

BUZZ!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Finally!

So we have been trying for months to get Bo to ride his big 4 wheeler and he’s always been scared to get on it.  Last week we had James and both of his older brothers over for a play date.  I had a feeling that’s all it would take.  Once Bo saw Evan and Cade riding the 4 wheeler Bo was all about it!  He rode that thing for 30 minutes straight and pitched a fit when it was time to get off. 

   

Time in MS

Two weeks ago Bo and I went to MS because I was hosting a wedding shower for my dear friend Kellie and a baby shower for my sister in law, Emily who will very soon be having a sweet baby girl!!  I’m so excited to be an aunt, on my side of the family!!!!!  We had a wonderful time and Bo had a blast with Pop and Bebe.  The last few visits Bo has really taken up with my dad…follows him around like a little shadow, it is so sweet to watch!  We’ll be going back in about two weeks for Kellie’s wedding and possibly a baby!  Here are a few pictures from our trip!

No time to stop for luck…Chick Fil A in the car instead!

Gotta love the feet…I feel like I’ve done my job as a mom when he’s dirty at the end of the day…I’ve let him be a BOY!!

I feel terrible because I left my camera at home for Kellie’s shower so the only picture I have is of the silverware sets I made for the party.  We had a couples shower with a “football” theme.  Since they are a house divided we had both LSU and Southern Miss colors!  It was a fun shower and great to see everyone.

Sunday afternoon we had a “Sugar & Spice” shower for Emily and Sweet Baby Vivienne!  It’s always fun to celebrate a sweet baby!

Favors for the guests

 

Cupcakes in a jar!

 

 

We had a onesie decorating station!!  It was super fun and Emily went home with a ton of adorable onesies!
