It's "Big Boy Room" Time!!!

What a fun and exhausting day! It started off with me meeting my mom with Graham for the weekend so that Marc and I could work on his "big boy" room...even though his mom still thinks he is still a baby (and probably will until he is about 14!) :) While I was gone, Marc steam cleaned all the carpet in our house and even did our furniture because he knew this was something I really wanted done before Cole came. I am convinced more than ever that I have the best husband in the entire world...he has been such a trooper! We unloaded Graham's playroom (which is now his "big boy" room), organized toys, cleaned out two closets, set up an entire room with furniture and all the adorable accessories that go with and made trips to Lowe's, Walmart and Ikea all in about 10 hours...and we're done! The room looks fabulous and I am so thankful to be finished and for my sweet husband who did all of this work with a smile on his face!

Our Thanksgiving Turkey

We had a wonderful time in Weatherford at Lindsay's parents for Thanksgiving! We had lots of wonderful food, football, and rest! And we were so blessed to have a cold front come through just as we finished our meal and blanket the ground with a fresh snow!!! Happy Thanksgiving to each of you...

Fall Festival

Well, the costume idea didn't go over so well this year. After a great first year as an octopus, we managed to get one picture of our little lion this year (thanks to the Kouba's blog).

At the Park with Garrett (& Ellie)!

Just a couple of Sundays ago, Garrett and Ellie Addington joined us for a day at the park. We met Matt & Candace (our longtime friends from Weatherford) at a park in Denton and had a great time. The boys played hard, and Ellie was the princess relaxing with the gals (until Marc hit her on the head while throwing acorns with the boys)...

Meeting Mike Huckabee

What a privilege it was to serve at a reception for Governor Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas who is running for President. He was not only one of the kindest men, he was so articulate on his vision for the future of our country. His love for Christ and America is contagious. Please visit his website if you haven't already.

The Little Ranch Hand

Saturday in the Park

We had a great time at the Frisco Commons park today. He played hard, fed the fish, pet the animals, and got soaked in the fountain. This is a great park...an old farm that probably has about 200 acres of play space, pavillions, lakes and trails.

The Great State Fair of Texas

And so Graham made his second trip to the State Fair of Texas in two years. He had so much more fun this year. The petting zoo was the highlight of the trip...he wanted to touch and talk to every animal! He was captivated by Big Tex and he loved all of the rides. His favorite was the car ride in the General Lee. He bawled when it was over and he had to get out of the car. He enjoyed a part of a corny dog, a few bites of cotton candy, some of Mama's Lemon Chill, and nachos. More than anything, he was happy to spend the afternoon and evening with his friends (Katelyn and Noah) and family (though he was sad that his Mama couldn't ride any of the rides with him due to being pregnant). It was a wonderful time...and he fell asleep tonight before his head hit the pillow!
