Happy 2nd birthday Harlee!

Drew went to Harlee's bday party last week...they had a blast!!!

Drew's first trip to the circus

We took Drew to the circus at Alltel a few weeks ago. He loved the elephants and the tigers the most!

Whitman's 2nd birthday!

Drew attended his first friend birthday party on Nov 22 for Whitman. This is his BFF from daycare. They had a great time!

Look at what I got!!!

Check out our blog picture...it's a painting that my boss (Leo) gave me for Christmas this year! I was totally blown away by it. He's a fabulous boss...all three of my guys are great, but I never thought he would do anything like this for me. He tricked me into giving him some pictures by telling me that a UCA student might sketch some pictures of Drew for class and then give them back to us. Then he surprised me with this artist's painting (made from 3 different pics). We are so excited!!!!

22 months old

Well, as usual you actually turned 22 months several weeks ago. I'm bad at blogging on time! But I did want to try to list all the amazing things you are doing these days. There's no way I'll remember them all, but here's my feeble attempt!

• You are a very picky eater. You only want junk food or fruit these days.
• You love anything related to sports...especially basketball. You love shooting basketballs and throwing footballs and baseballs.
• You are really starting to talk up a storm. You've just started saying "mine" and saying "I" or "me" instead of referring to yourself as "Drew-Drew" You just started using sentences this week. Last night you said "I wanna talk Daddy." It's nice because now you can tell us what you want instead of whining as much.
• You are still super attached to your Binky (pacifier) and Blankie and have added a new friend to the mix with a monkey. You have to have all three with you if you are the least bit sleepy or upset. Pretty cute actually!
• You love to play outside and would stay out there 24/7 if we would let you. You love to swing and slide at the park and to ride your bike (push toy motorcycle).
• You absolutely love babies...especially Caroline. You talk about her nonstop and ask to see her.
• You are calling people by their names all the time now. When you see them or talk to them on the phone or look at pictures. The funniest is that you call Ben "Uncle Muscles" and you really have no idea what his real name is. It's great and he loves it!
• You know who Santa Claus and his reindeer are and you love to show them to us in books and pictures.
• You are so funny and your smile and laugh are so contagious! You love all your friends at school and talk about them all the time.
• My #1 favorite thing is that you like to pray. Before eating or around bedtime. You fold your hands together and bow your head while we pray and then you yell "AMEN!" It's adorable and you usually make us pray several times before you will eat.

We love you so much, buddy! You make every second of mine and Daddy's life so fun and exciting. We are really looking forward to spending this Christmas with you!

Hogs vs. LSU

We always go to all the Little Rock games, but this I decided to just stay outside the stadium with Drew to tailgate while Brian went to the game. Drew is having to have lots of babysitters this month and we didn't want to have to bug someone for the game, so we stayed behind and hung out at Jaime and Jason's tailgate party. Drew had a blast. He ran around with Hudson and Hayden at the firefighter's party and then ate cotton candy until he was completely blue. He hung in there for the entire game and we had a great time listening to the game and cheering the Hogs to victory!

Thanksgiving 2008

Well, we had another fabulous Thanksgiving. Drew and I went to my grandparents since Brian had to work, but he did get to make an appearance for a few hours. Drew had a blast running around playing with everyone. And this year we actually had 3 babies there! Drew, Caroline, and Natalee. It was very fun. My family is amazing and we always have so much fun eating, laughing, talking, and eating some more! Thanks for a great day Grandma and Grandaddy!
