Pumpkin Patch

We took Cason to the pumpkin patch Sunday afternoon to pick out a pumpkin. He had fun playing in/eating the grass and slapping the pumpkins. Next year he'll really be able to pick out his own!

Sammy & Uncle T's Birthdays...

We celebrated two family birthdays in the past week...my second cousin, Sammy's, and Uncle Tyler's! Sammy's birthday party was last Saturday at Monkey Joe's, an inflatable playground in Douglasville. Everyone had fun, including the adults because we could act like kids too. If you know my dad, you know he is extremely quiet and has a very dry sense of humor. We talked him into going down the steepest slide they had and I couldn't wait to be at the bottom to catch his expression...he cracks me up. Every now and then ol' Joe will let his hair down and it's priceless when he does. Cason wasn't too sure about the slides. He pretty much kept the same expression when we made it to the bottom. I think there was just a lot going on that was distracting him.

We went to dinner last night for Uncle T's 21st birthday. Me, Ryan, Cason, Renee, Beth and David all met him at Pappasito's off Windy Hill since he was coming from school and would need to quickly get back to do some studying...ha ha ha, just kidding! Despite having shots earlier in the day and cutting his third tooth, Cason was an angel the whole time we were there. The only mishap was when he, oh yeah, dialed 911 from my cell phone. He LOVES playing with my cell phone so from time to time I'll let him fiddle with it, with the keys locked. Well when your keys are locked and you roll the little scrolly button in the middle, it gives you the option to make an "Emergency Call." Somehow he managed to roll the button, click on the Emergency Call option, and then click it again to say, "OK." Next thing I know, I look down and my phone says, "Connected, Emergency Call." I was like, "Oh, crap!" and hit end immediately hoping the call hadn't connected yet. Right after that, my phone starts ringing some 770.421 number and I'm thinking to myself, "should I answer that?" Thank goodness I did because it was the dispatcher calling me back to make sure everything was okay. I assured him everything was fine, without disclosing that it was my 8 month old playing with my cell phone who rang him. I mean, if ambulances would've showed up at Pappasito's, I would have crawled under the table.

Wedding Dress Party

So tell me...what do you do with your expensive, beautiful wedding dress you wear one time and then hang up in a bag at your parents' house in some extra bedroom? YOU WEAR IT AGAIN TO A WEDDING DRESS PARTY OF COURSE! Brilliant! Me, Lisa, Corinne, Mandy, Ashley and Amanda played bean bag toss, ate hors d'oeuvres, took pictures in front of the church, hung out at Atkins Park, and at the end of the night...cut the miniature wedding cake Amanda had made. We had so much fun being bridezillas one more time!





Doing a little domestic cleaning...

Pure Sweetness

Anniversary Weekend

Ryan and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary this weekend...I can't believe we've been together for seven years altogether now! Crazy. Time flies by so quickly.

Cason is crawling all over the place now! FYI: the diaper box can provide a good 10-15 minutes of quality entertainment for a seven month old. Supervision required of course. Meme kept Cason for the night so we could go to dinner at the Atlanta Fish Market. Afterwards, we finished the night off with the most romantic thing we could've done...went straight home to put on pajamas and watch the Georgia/Alabama game. We were kidding ourselves if we thought we wanted to be anywhere else. Too bad we lost!



Ryan caught him at just the right moment!

About to leave for dinner

Being supportive.

If you would have told me that I, let alone my child, would be sporting navy and gold in support of Georgia Tech, ever, I would've called you a bold-faced liar and probably would have stomped on your foot and maybe even pulled your hair. I stood corrected two seasons ago, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, T had his third major shoulder surgery and has been red-shirted this season...in true thoughtful Tyler fashion, he is using this time to be philanthropic. Tech has a program called Jackets Give Back and in recent years, they have picked one home game to collect donations to help a less fortunate family during Christmas time. Tyler has taken the reigns and brought the program to a new level. They will be collecting donations during every single home game this year so they will be able to help out many more children, instead of just one family. We knew we wouldn't be able to stay for the game with Cason, but we definitely wanted to help Tyler in any way we could. What better way than to solicit your child? People give money to sweet, innocent baby faces. Renee taped a poster to the front of Cason's stroller and off we went. I think we collected almost $400 in less than two hours. Not bad!

After we got home, Cason was exhausted. He took a nap and then his friend Brayden came over to play. I use the term play loosely. Mostly they just stared at each other and then it was time for Cason to get a bath and go to bed. Nevertheless, they had fun, playing!
