Halloween 2010

The boys and I had a wonderful Halloween weekend. Saturday morning, we headed to Booneville for Porter Tapp's 3rd birthday party. It was a Firetruck theme and was so much fun... there was even a REAL firetruck there, which impressed the kiddos. Shae always does an awesome job with birthday parties!

Here is the guest of honor... Porter Tapp. He was cute stuff!
Carter LOVES balloons and this was all that he cared about throughout the party.

Will was pretty much wide-open and in rare form, as usual :)

After my mom and I got back from Tupelo, we played outside before getting ready for trick-or-treating. I got some sweet shots of my cutie pies.

Here is my Carter bug...

Mr. Will... getting into my mom's flowers.

Cute little booties :).. I love the tail on the back of Carter's outfit. Love this shot.

We took a break outside from a pop-pop... the boys' favorite :). Will posed for me!

My PRECIOUS mom has been trick-or-treating with me for the past 3 years... Eddie has to work every other weekend and it always falls on this time (we think he may plan it that way?!?!). Thanks, Mom for going... the boys and I had a great time with you!

SOOOOO.... I had two ADORABLE little hamburgers (I could have eaten them up... they were too cute for words)! Here are some pictures.

Will showing his costume off to papaw.

Carter was chilling until time to go when I put his on him.

We followed Amy and her boys, as well. Cash was Spongebob. I love this picture of them below. Cash looks JUST like his mom when she was his age. We have pictures to prove it!

Papaw rode Will on one of his 4-wheelers every spare moment in the weekend, so he was trying to talk him into riding, so that he would not have to go with us :).

Here is Spongebob again!

Cash decided that since he was Spongebob, that Will and Carter could be "Crabbie-patties" :). It was a cute theme.

Cute little cousins!

While we waited on Brylin to make his appearance, we played on one of papaw's trailers. It was TOO cute watching some dancing hamburgers.

Will, breaking it down!

Break-dancing happy meals :). This is my favorite picture of them from the night. Love my sweet boys!

Here is my precious nephew, Brylin. He was Mickey-Mouse and looked so sweet. I love his big blue eyes. He was definitely the calmest of the 4!!!

I was not able to get a lot of action shots of trick-or-treating until we visited Papaw and Nana Chittom. They had the boys pajamas and LOADS of candy. It was really sweet watching them. Do you like the back shots of the "buns" :)?

Sunday, I told Will that he could get a sucker if he was good at church... this was his expression! Silly boy!

After church on Sunday, we went to Papaw and Nana Chittom's house for lunch and got to visit with Aunt Toni and Perry. They boys really enjoyed seeing them.

You can see that my boys are rotten... notice Carter below with a pop-pop AND a sucker! What a sweet papaw.

After Will finished his, he tried to talk Perry Katherine into a bite of her pop-pop

We were going to go on home, but my Sissy and the boys got a new puppy and we did not get to see them over the weekend because of sick boys, so we decided to go visit for a little bit. The puppy was precious, but the boys were more interested in jumping on the trampoline. Momma knows what these boys need for Christmas (a smaller one, of course)!

Carter loved her pumpkins. Sweet babe!

We had a great weekend with our wonderful friends and family. It was a very fun Halloween!!!

Anything like me...

"It's safe to say that I am going to get my payback if he's anything like me... " Brad Paisley (Eddie's theme song)!

Will and Carter love their daddy so much. He is their hero. This weekend, they wanted nothing to do with their momma, at times, and only wanted daddy. Will has also learned that he, daddy and Carter are boys and told me "I'm a boy (pronounced boee)", so momma is left out of that club.

Here they are in daddy's shirts....

Daddy and Carter cuddle all of the time!

Will was pretending to be asleep with his daddy for a picture :). He is a little Eddie, Jr and keeps his daddy on his toes allll of the time :).

Laughing at their funny daddy

Will pretended to be asleep again, so Carter decided to join him.

Sweet angels :).

16 Months Old

Our little Carter bug was 16 months old on October 7th... I know that I say this every month, but WOW how time has flown! We missed his 15 month appointment, so he had to make that up and get his shots this month :(... BOO! Here are his 15 month (really 16 month) stats:

28 lbs 12 oz
33 inches tall
90 percentile

He is at a very fun stage; although, the little stinker learned how to throw fits this past month! We hope he stops those very soon!!! He also is the little chatter box. He repeats everything that we say, which is so sweet. His big thing right now are giving fist pumps and he is OBSESSED with airplanes (like his brother). Lucky for him, we have tons that go over our house and he is just amazed. He and Will always yell, "Bye, See you later" when the planes are gone. Here are a few pictures:

My cutie after church. He would not look at the camera.
Eddie says the boys are earning their keep. They both love our brooms and dusters; I hope this continues :).

Carter likes to sit at the bottom of the stairs now.

Carter loves to play ball with Will and Daddy

Side view of the curls... his hair has grown a ton!

And I threw one of my precious Will since I haven't blogged in a while. Love my big boy!

I can't wait to see what the next month will bring for us! Have a great week everyone!

Orange Beach 2010

Last Wednesday, Eddie and I took our sweet boys to Orange Beach, AL. We had a fabulous time. Our boys did awesome on the drive there and back and we all very much enjoyed the beach. Both sets of our parents and my nephew, Cash, met us when down there. It was definitely nice having extra help and sharing their first vacation with them!


There are lots of pictures below, which is not even close to what was actually snapped :). Enjoy!


The boys helped me pack on Monday and Tuesday. Let's just say I wondered if we would make it through the week after Will's meltdown!


This was the first time my precious boys got to the see the beach. Will could not contain himself; he squealed and was overwhelmed with excitement. Carter was very excited, as well. We will never forget the looks on their faces!

They were not interested in a photo shoot. I was not able to get a picture of their first time on the beach. Eddie and I had our hands full chasing them around!

Papaw and Nana Chittom arrived later that night. Will stuck to his papaw like glue the rest of the trip, for the most part.

Papaw, Mamaw and Cash arrived the next day. Cash and Will admiring the view.

Papaw Chittom walking the boys to the beach. They had to stop at the pools first.

Carter following the leader... trying to catch a seagull!

We have nicknamed our little Cash the Coppertone baby! He had a ball and loved the beach, as well!

The sand was some sort of fun for these three.

Daddy helping Carter and Cash build sandcastles.

One day, when my boys were napping and my mom and Cash went to the pool, I was able to lay on the beach all alone. Let's just say that hour of peace was nice :)!

Then this sweet little guy came down and wanted me to jump waves with him. It was a lot of fun!

One day when it was cloudy and rainy, we headed shopping and went to the Track when it cleared. Will and Cash enjoyed go carts, rides and bumper boats. Will's favorite was the swings. It was fun!

Here are some pictures taken before dinner one night.

All 3 little guys loved the balcony. I always loved them as a child, as well.

Sweet sugar from daddy. I love the hear Carter bug smack at us when he wants a kiss!

My adorable baby boy... he was saying "cheese".

Will the thrill :)

Saturday was our last morning at the beach. It looked pretty nasty out, but we still went out to play

Will following the leader. Notice the difference in skin color... it reminds of me and Amy as kids.

Carter was not far behind. He was taking it all in!

Saturday was also a VERY special day; my mom's birthday :)! We played on the beach, shopped and enjoy great food . We love you so much, Mom... happy birthday to one of the best in the world!

Daddy finally decided to come down and enjoy the fun

Me and my little Carter bug

Will running from the water. He would run down and when a wave would come he would take off. I was extremely excited that he loved the ocean!

Me, Mom and the boys.

We can't wait to plan our next vacation :)! Have a great week, everyone!
