A day in Pulaski!

Yesterday Mom, Grant, and I all headed down to Pulaski to see my Grandparents and while we were there we stopped in at Owens Family Dentistry to see one of my dearest friends, Amber, and her husband, Dr. Nathan Owens. We love being able to support our friends in their business and get to see loved ones at the same time! Grant was a TROOPER! I was a little worried at first but as usual, Amber was a pro! She found something on tv for Grant to watch and then had special names for her instruments (the spit sucker was called "Mr. Thirsty")! She let Grant pick his flavor and use the mirror to help her, it was perfect! Then he got to pick a treasure from the box and was equipped with a new toy and a new toothbrush! He went to the lobby to tell Buddy he didn't have any "Catabies"! Then it was my turn.. Im happy to report no cavities for me either! Thanks Amber and Nathan!

Being the awesome mother that she is, Mom took my car on up to Granny's with both boys in tow while I got my teeth cleaned! After I got there we talked a while and then had some lunch. In all of my 31 years let me just stop and say that there has NEVER (and I do repeat, NEVER) been a time that there has not been ice-cream in my Grandparents house. My Grandpa should be in an ice-cream eating contest, he could win it! Maybe ESPN will have host one instead of a hotdog contest because I can tell you, that that man would win! Anyways.. after lunch Grant KNEW what he would get. Grandpa usually has those mini ice-cream sandwiches for the kids but he had the big ones this time.. Grants face is priceless, he was so excited!

After our yummy treats we went outside to enjoy the beautiful day!

Grandpa likes to ride the kids on the mower, last time we were there Grant fell off and was terrified so it was much to my surprise when he asked to go for a ride.

And what Grandparent visit would be complete without bouncing on the beds? Only at Granny's!

Well.. I had other pictures attached here but I am not sure what happened :( They were cute too. Oh well.. I don't have time to put them back up! But anyways, we had a fantastic time and can't wait to visit again soon :)

Fall, Part II

On to more adventures in Fall! Buddy and Grandaddy treated all the grandboys to ride Thomas the Train! You talk about W.I.L.D. It was 9 million degrees outside and lucky for us we were the 2nd train ride of the day! They had activities to entertain you as you waited but we wanted a good spot in line so we only played for about 15 mins! Here are some pictures from our adventure!

This was also my 1st train ride!

Thomas the Train was great fun but by the end of the HOT day we were all tired, hungry and grumpy! But a BIG Thank You to Buddy and Grandaddy for treating us!Next on the list: Fall Festival at Buddy and Grandaddy's church... anyone who knows my kid can tell just by the look on his face in this picture KNOWS he's in a bad mood. He was so tired for some reason and wouldnt cooperate with anything.. oh well

Grandaddy showing off his namesake!

Here is Grant throwing a fit not wanting to throw a ball for the dunking booth, he kept thinking he would get dunked! HAH

Cole and Buddy, he was all smiles! Grant did enjoy the petting zoo!

Grant then told Grandaddy and Franklin that he wanted to ride the bull... yah thats what he thought...

The one thing G went nuts over was the train ride... I bet we rode this ten times! PS.. Cole teetee'd all over Grandaddy here!

They had real police cars, firetrucks, ambulances etc... Grant wouldnt speak to anyone.. look at his face!

We enjoyed the festival and thanks to Grandaddy and Buddy for putting up with our Grump!

Fall Fun, Part I

We have really been enjoying this beautiful weather, esp the days its sunny and in the mid 60's, I hope it comes and stays for a while! Grant has become a little pro on his bike and so we've been going to the park and riding around the neighborhood. Last Sunday after church we went to eat lunch and packed up and headed to Old Fort Park!

We also like to go to Cason Lane in the mornings or after school to play, but this day Grant was waiting on his friend, Noah, and refused to play until he saw him!

YAY, he spotted him! Unfortunately Ididnt get any pics of that playdate :(

Another thing we've done this fall is we had a special date with Buddy, Grandaddy, Aunt Kelly, Tol and Yates to see "Dolphin Tale" . It was a super cute movie but dang those 30 minutes of previews... we were going to try to escape them but the theater was filling up fast. Oh well.. we still had fun!

And what fall would be complete without a little "spruce up" to the house! We added a fire pit, sitting wall, and about 3 feet to our patio! I am LOVING this new space. The picture doesnt give it justice. We hope to soon build a pergula and once that dude is up, you'll be sure to find me in our back yard most of the time! I can not WAIT to light this baby and make some smores.. COME ON COOL WEATHER!

We also had a party on Sunday to celebrate Granny's birthday! We added lots of fall decorations and it was an absolutely PERFECT day!Grant was so excited to have a "Big Ol Pawty" (his quote) at his house and he kept running outside to see if anyone was here yet!Granny gettin' some Cole love!

I am not real sure what was going on here.. a bunch of clapping and singing and chanting.. it was funny but Buddy, Granny and little Tol were having a ball!

We had a TON of food burgers, hotdogs, chips, potato salad, baked beans, etc. I also made a homemade icecream cake that tastes like the on from Dairy Queen.. HEAVEN! I also made some pumpkin spiced cupcakes and MAN ALIVE... they went like crazy! I made them bite size and they were delicious!

Cousin Wesley.. he is such a sweet little boy!

All the boys brought their bikes and went on a ride, so cute seeing them all play together!

Kelly, Mom, and Granny watched funny videos on her notebook of the boys dancing while everyone else was outside and Granny could get one more "baby fix"!

Its been a great fall so far.. I have more to post on some fall fun!!!! But Im out of time!

A Birthday Song

Happy Birthday to my Granny! We called her this morning and Grant got to talk to her and "Sing" to her. But my little Cole, well he cant talk, so here he is singing her is own version!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY, We love you!
