Happenings...

Life's been busy with the holidays so I haven't posted in forever! But here are some updates in a nutshell, and I mean nutshell...Cason had a visit from Autumn (our old neighbors, Scott and Emily's little girl), my parents rented a cabin for the weekend in Blue Ridge, we visited Ryan's Grandmommy and Granddaddy for a pre-Thanksgiving celebration in Toccoa, Cason had a visit from Kristen and Brian (our dear friends that live in Birmingham), we had Thanksgiving, Cason played with Brayden, and we picked out a Christmas Tree in the pouring rain. Ahh.

On our way to the cabin...

Haircut #3

Cason got his haircut for the third time. You know your child has a lot of hair when you walk into Pigtails & Crewcuts and the ladies recognize you. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.

He got to sit in the airplane by himself this time.

He takes his haircuts VERY seriously.

Bo's Deer

Ryan was so proud of the biggest deer he has gotten so far with a bow...here are some pictures. Yet another wall ornament for our office.

Halloween Weekend

Cason celebrated his first Halloween as a teddy bear! Yay! Although he'll probably kill me when he turns 16 and I pull these pictures out to show his girlfriend, I don't care. He was adorable. And we couldn't have asked for better weather. I was hoping it would be a little cool so he wouldn't burn alive, which it was. Because Halloween fell on a Friday this year, we were able to trick or treat with the whole family...mom, dad, Renee, me, Ryan, Cason, Brian, Mandy, Cliffy, Colby, Trinity, Adriana, Susie, Ricky, Mary, Sammy, and Malia. I love making memories with my family!


I think Cason was trying to kiss Malia here...kissing cousins right?

Saturday night we celebrated Corinne and Brandon's birthdays. We went to dinner at Twisted Taco, and then headed over to Cowboys for old times sake. We had so much fun dancing around and being silly! Happy Birthday Brandon & Corinne!

8 Month Pictures

Cason had his 8 month pictures made several weeks ago...here are a few of my favorites!



The photographer had a "helper" whose sole purpose was to make the babies smile. Needless to say, there may be some attrition over at Portrait Innovations...


Halloween Costume for this year...




This is an outfit that Ryan, Chris, & Tyler all had their pictures made in at this age...

Visit from Great Aunt Sharron!

We got to see Aunt Sharron last week since she came to Atlanta! We met for dinner at Aspens and Cason had a lot of fun playing patty-cake with her at the table...and tugging on her glasses.





Cason officially knows what the camera is. I mean, he should since it's been in his face from day one. Saturday morning I decided to take a picture of him lounging in his pajamas and every single time I put the camera up to take a picture, this is what I got. Call the modeling agency, I think we have a prospect!

Sabyl doesn't so much like the camera.
