First Trip to the Movies!

McKinley and I pretty much stayed around the house all week, so I thought we would get out and do something fun today. I've been wanting to take him to the movies, but was not so sure how well he would do. I decided we would give it a try, so we went to see the new Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa movie. Overall, I would say that for his first trip to the movies he did pretty well. As you can tell from the picture he was well stocked up with popcorn, coke and Reeses. He especially liked to dance around the aisle whenever they played " I like to move it, move it". I only had to threaten to take him home twice! Once was when he was playing with his seat. The seats are the stadium seats that fold up and down. He thought it was fun to bounce the seat up and down....well the seat folded on him and somehow the little booger got his feet stuck up in the seat. He was crying "Mommy, I am really stuck...Help Me". I finally got him loose, but it pulled his boots off, so then I had to fish on the floor for his missing boots!!! He kept telling me all day thanks for taking him and that he had a good time so it was well worth it!

Happy Turkey Day!

Check out the kids plates.....they ate until they were stuffed turkeys!
My two favorite turkeys!






McKinley took this picture.....not that bad....just a little crooked!
Our last Thanksgiving as a family of 3!

Already a Princess!

We have slowly been working in Marley Ann's room. She is already a spoiled princess. Thanks a bunch to Aunt Tammy, Aunt Holly, Baby Kate and the Twincesses for all the clothes! Check out her closet and look at all the pink! 26 week Baby Update: I went to the doctor this week and Marley Ann is doing great! I start going every 2 weeks now instead of every 4! Her due date will be here before we know it. I am super excited because if all goes well, we are going to be able to have her at 38 weeks. That will be around the middle of February! This is great news for us because 1-the doctor is hoping that by having her earlier it might make my delivery easier and she won't be too big and 2- there will be a few weeks difference betweeen her and McKinley's birthdays instead of just a few days!

Halloween 2008

McKinley had a BIG day yesterday. His class made Halloween t-shirts for the Halloween Celebration at school. He came home with a bookbag full of candy and treats! After Daddy got home and we ate supper, we got Peter Pan dressed and got ready for some trick-or-treating!
McKinley had to stop by and see Jake on his first Halloween. We caught up with Addie the Angel there too!
Finally we headed to the church for Trunk-or-Treat!
Captain Hook and Peter Pan pose for a picture before the excitment begins!
Look at the Cutie Ladybugs!

Tinkerbell and Peter Pan....What a pair!

This was the first year that our church has done Trunk-or-Treat! The kids had a GREAT time going from car to car and it was a parents dream. The kids were contained in a safe area with family and friends!

What a great way to end the night.....a yummy smore!

Happy Halloween!

We hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe Halloween!

We will post some more pictures of Peter Pan after we get done trick or treating and head home to "Neverland".

Hangin' Tough

A bunch of us true "Blockheads", along with every other 30 something year old woman in Atlanta, headed to see the New Kids last night. Here we are.....even after all these years...still "Hangin' Tough!
Thanks ladies for the great night! I felt like I was 13 again!

Family Pumpkin Project

McKinley's teacher sent home a pumpkin last week for a family pumpkin project. We were supposed to decorate it as a family and "have fun and be creative." McKinley wanted to decorate it like a train....go figure. We finally convinced him to let us try something else. After some painting, cutting and glue.....you have.....
BAT-O-LANTERN!





Fall Fun with Friends

Friday night,McKinley had some of his friends over for pizza, cupcakes, Halloween crafts and pumpkin decorating. Here are some pictures from the night. Thanks Nanny for the fun crafts......you were a great party planner!

Shiver Me Timbers....A Pirate Pumpkin!!

We have a very serious problem at our house.....we apparently have a "cow monster" that is lurking around and scaring McKinley at night. This is his excuse for getting up every morning at about 4:45-5:00 everyday. We decided to decorate a pumpkin like a pirate to hopefully scare it away. Here are some pictures from our decorating party!


What is a Pirate Pumpkin without his first mate!


Hopefully this pumpkin will do its job....we also found some special "cow grass" to put outside his bedroom window and sprayed some special "cow repellent" to keep the cow away. Who would of known that our sweet, quaint, little house would attract such dreadful creatures.......you know it was about this time last year that we had a problem with the "shoe monster", now he was a real bugger to get rid of.....oh well all in a days work as a mommy and daddy!

(Thanks Uncle Brian for the pumpkin decorating kit! It came in really handy!)

It's a Girl!!!!

We could not wait for our next doctor's appointment, so we splurged and went to Baby Dimensions here in Newnan to find out that we are having a baby girl! I am so excited! McKinley is not to sure about a little girl, he keeps saying that he really wants a boy instead. Hopefully he will change his mind. I was 100% sure that this baby was a boy, and am beside myself with the thought of pink!!!!!
This is not the best picture, but the view is looking at her from the bottom up. Her legs are pulled up and those are the little spots at the top. It is kind of hard to tell in the picture, but we could see it really well on the tv screen. She was not very cooperative and kept moving for the picture!
Here is the first official head shot of our little girl....
Marley Ann!
(she has her little hand up to her face....so sweet!)

She kind of looks like an alien......but she is the most precious little alien that I have ever seen!
