Riley is one!!

I can't believe my nephew, Riley, is 1. His birthday was yesterday but we celebrated it last saturday. He had an army/camo theme...

before the party

we had to borrow a headband from Hallie b/c Nick said Baylor looked like a boy :)

I've been tagged...

My friend Sara tagged me in her blog so I'm supposed to list 7 quirky things about myself. Here goes...

1) I have to put the toilet paper roll on with the paper coming over the top. If someone else does it the other way, I will correct it...but only at my house.

2) Nick makes fun of me b/c I get upset if fast food employees or servers are rude. Which basically means they have to be positively friendly or they will get my usual reply of, "well, they were pleasant!" (but not until they are out of earshot)

3) I cannot, under any circumstances, turn the vehicle off if the windshield wipers are not in their proper position.

4) I can turn my foot 180 degrees backwards while keeping my hips forward.

5) I hide from my kids when I'm eating something yummy and I don't want to share.

6) I love Coke classic but I'd rather have Pepsi if it's in a can or 2 liter...otherwise it's fountain cokes all the way!!

7) I can't sleep in socks. Even if it's freezing in the house. In fact, I usually have my feet sticking out of the blankets no matter what the temperature is.

Now I'm supposed to tag other friends with blogs. Here goes...

Beasley's hayride and pumpkin patch

Saturday, we took the kids (& gumma and Riley) to Beasley's to pick out some pumpkins. At first, we told the kids that they had to be able to carry their own pumpkin, but we didn't realize that the little pumpkins were on the other side of the pumpkin patch so we modified the rule...Nick had to be able to carry them. :) It was pretty funny watching Trevon run to the pumpkins and try to lift it up and then say, "nope, it's too heavy." and then run to the next one.

This next picture is blurry but it's a funny story...My mom and I were in the little store deciding which bag of apples to buy. I turn around to find both of the boys eating an apple. We still don't know where they got them but they were definitely enjoying them. I did offer to pay for them seperately but the lady said not to worry about it. She thought is was funny. So here they are enjoying their apples...the little thieves...

Here are a few pictures from our weekend getaway to Maine.

A star in the making...or not, but cute anyway
