A day in Pulaski

Yikes, I'm behind on blogging, not my favorite thing to do.  A few weeks ago we went down to Pulaski to see my Grandparents.  The boys LOVE going to see them and its always a fun thing for me to get to see them do the things I loved to do as a kid!

 For instance, these footstools... Tol and I used to pretend they were wheel chairs and wheel down the hall, which would be why they are busted, sorry Granny! But its funny to see my boys go straight to them when they walk in!

 LOVE this picture! Also love Gpa's enormous amount of icecream too.. ha

 1..2...3... GO!

 Their yard is another very memorable place for me. I can remember spending HOURS playing in the leaves, climbing the apple tree, picking jonquils, hiding behind the barn, the BEST Easter egg hunts you could imagine and taking NUMEROUS pictures on their front porch!

 I bet my Mom has 100 pictures of my brother and I on these very chairs!

 Cole absolutely LOVED climbing the tree with Grandaddy...

 Grant.. not so much!

 Not sure who liked it more.. Cole or Grandaddy?

And what trip to Granny and Gpa's would be complete without jumping on their bed?

It was a wonderful trip, another one to mark down in the memory book. I hope to make it a monthly visit, time slips away from us but no excuses! These two are so special! LOVE YOU GRANNY AND GRANDPA!

Cookie Party

One more 2012 post and then on to the new year!   I couldn't escape posting pics of the annual Christmas cookie party at Buddy and Grandaddy's!  We've been doing this for 5 years now!  

 Buddy and Grandaddy get Christmas music, cookie dough, flour, every sprinkle you can possible imagine and some little kids and its a free-for-all! Man they are brave!

 This year Cole got to be involved and the funny part is, I think he loved it more than any of them!  He loved rolling the dough, he'd say "oll it oll it"  and then "cut cut"... so much fun!

 This might have to be one of the sweetest pictures... EVER!

 The frosting... I love these next few pictures... it says it all

 Of course my little piglet was the first to dive in to the cookies, pretty sure he ate 2 or 3 and the other boys ate NONE!

 Ewwww... look at all those sprinkles!

 Yates, proud of his finished product!

 Tol.. making his usual "silly face", but still proud too!

 Grant and his "lightly dusted" cookies (Well.. other than that center one! hahah).

 Poor Lula... she was such a trooper, not only did she have to endure all four boys but the arrival of Tol and Kelly's new family puppy, Banjo! I'm telling ya, it was a PARTY!

 The finished product... So proud of those boys... but um.. I skipped out on these ;) (hey... maybe thats the secret to not eating treats!)
