Growing up too fast

What is it about a haircut that makes kids instantly look older?  I took Wes last week to get a haircut and he acted like such a big boy.  He climbed up the chair, and sat super still. At one point the barber was trying to get him to look down so I went over and stood by him and Wes said "No mom, you go back and sit down."

            I'm embarrassing him already, oh how I dread the teenage years, for so many reasons!

Weekend trip

We took a trip to Birmingham last weekend. I only took one picture the entire weekend but the one I got was priceless. Wes was so happy to see his buddy brooks and man are they a pair!

Jesus Loves Me

Love that Wes let me video him singing this last night, what did we ever do before camera phones???

Christmas with all the Family

We were very blessed this year to get to see every member of our families over the Holiday Season.  We started in Murfreesboro, headed south to Birmingham then ended the holiday in Cleveland.  Wes had a blast playing with all the cousins and 2nd cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, too!  In fact after all the festivities were over and we were headed home he kept asking "Where are we going?" and "Who am I gonna play with?" Overall we had a great holiday and took lots of pictures here are just some highlights...

 Wes fell asleep on the couch for the first time in his life.
I guess that means Christmas was a success!

                       Happy New Year!

Eating like a local

We're starting our new year off extra healthy and man was it good!

More Christmas

We had the bulk of our little Christmas on Christmas Eve this year and then just Santa came for Wes on Christmas morning.  I cooked a nice meal for us on Saturday evening and we FINALLY got to use our China we got for our wedding.  (It Had been boxed up in our basement due to space at our old house.)  So I took lots of pictures of our meal because I was so excited!

Then we opened presents, where the highlight for Wes was definitely the $4 cape from Walmart that I GLUED a superman logo on.  Isn't it funny how that works out sometime, the simplest/cheapest gift is sometimes their favorite!

Christmas morning was a little rushed since it was Sunday.  We got ready early so we would have plenty of time for Wes to check out his stuff, eat cinnamon rolls and get out the door for church.  Then it was nice to come home and have leftovers from our Christmas Eve dinner and just play and all take much needed naps.

Just what Wes asked for "Toy Story Book, Mack truck, scooter and Thomas Stuff"  Plus a few extras!
