Halloween festivites

 

We had a fun Halloween! It is so much more exciting as a parent then a child. Watching Lincoln walk up to his grandparents doors. I bought Lincoln a Mater costume because Mater is his favorite character. But every time I would put it on him he would scream and was not a fan. So we went with skeleton jammies instead. Mommy made chili for dinner, it was a tradition when she was growing up that chili was for Halloween every year. We went to our family houses around town and our neighbors house. Lets face it, the 18 month old does not care to walk door to door and Mama is seven and half months pregnant with swollen feet.  Mommy went has Wilson from Cast Away, Daddy was a Daddy, and Lincoln was a handsome skeleton with spikey hair. It was the first time I got to do anything with his hair because he finally has hair! Great Nana bought him his blue bucket and he carried it around for a week playing with it. Putting his toys in it. Who knew a bucket was so much fun, why do we buy him toys again?

 

He has such a personality when it comes to taking pictures.

 

Walking up to grandmas house with Daddy! Grandma feed him lots of chocolate and gave him a light up football.

 

 He still loves playing with his bucket. It might stay out of the Halloween tot for a while. He also dressed up as a football player to watch the falcons play with Daddy. He filled the bucket with rocks then cried because it was too heavy.

 

I can not believe this was last year, I was one of those parents that put my child in a pumpkin. But it is still so cute! He is turning into a little boy instead of my baby.

 

After going to the grandparents houses, we settled down and watch some football and then went off to bed. But not before he ate Oreos and fruit loops from Great Grandpa. Chocolate from grandma. Played with his little pumpkin from Great Grandma. And his first cell phone from his Aunt Haley.

 

Mommy carved pumpkins this year, Lincoln did not like being sticky. Hopefully he will be more helpful next year.

 

 

It is so fun watching him learn and watch his little mind work.

 

He picked out his pumpkin

 

After touching everyone.

 

It was a very good Holiday.  Next year we will have a Mater costume from Lincoln and a Crab costume for little sister. Holidays are so much fun in our new house. I loved decorating for Halloween. And now my thanksgiving decorations are up. I will need to get a few more since fall is the best time of the year. I am looking forward to watching Lincoln gobble up his thanksgiving meal this year! We are going to enjoy these next few weeks while he is still our only child. Maybe we will come up with a name for little sister soon. Hope everyone had a awesome Halloween.

I have so much fun writing a blog about raising my little pumpkin.

Love Whitney

From Ms. to Mrs.

This was one of the best weekends of my life. I married the love of my life and my best friend. The day was windy but everything worked out. After waking up my maid of honor brought me a sandwich and we headed to the hair dresser and met the rest of the bridesmaids. My hair dresser did an awesome job. We got ready at the salon and headed to the church to put on the dresses. One of the bridesmaids dresses zipper broke but Granny and Mother in Law to the rescue. The day went by fast. We had an awesome short and sweet wedding. Our son was the ring bearer and from what I heard, he was the cutest thing! The reception was awesome, we had some S'more Love for everyone to take home. Jayce picked a wonderful song I have never heard before for our first dance and it was perfect. Lincoln joined us part way through and it was so sweet. I learned from Jayce's Grandpa that I can not dance! But the money dance was sure awesome to dance with everyone. We smashed cake in each others faces and toasted to our forever. Our photographer was amazing and gave us sneak peaks the day after the wedding.

Halloween decorating

I told myself a hundred times I was not going to get the Halloween decorations out until after the wedding. Well that did not happen. I love decorating for each holiday! Now I can watch Halloween movies and bake more pumpkin stuff! Halloween is becoming more exciting with a child. Last year Lincoln was a lobster in a pot, now he is going to be Mator. His favorite. I can not wait until his costume comes in!.

Here is my view as I am doing dishes. A little pumpkins everywhere!

My baking corner!! I still can not believe that I have a part of my kitchen that is all baking. I might have to bake something pumpkin this weekend.

The dining room table and Lincolns cute little bottom

 

Probably my favorite spot is the back door! And let me add that I will stop teaching Lincoln to say Witch until next Halloween, it comes out a different word! We are working on cat and pumpkin though!!

 

 

The living Room windows! Lincoln is learning how to say cat and pointing at the black cat

I left jayce's wall alone minus one window sticker! but it at least it is a manly one.

 

Pumpkins and ghost on the tv! It will be a couple years before I can get everything out with little kiddos but this is a start.

A little rug , This already in the middle of my living room. Lincoln likes playing with it.

I have a shower curtain for almost every holiday! Here is the Halloween one.

 

Here is a little flashback Friday for you!!

 

It is the day Jayce popped the question! His friend Beau was there to watch the whole thing but didn't take a picture, My mom already scolded him don't worry! So here is our first engaged couple picture! In 8 short days we will be married. I am so excited, he has this next week off. Lots of family coming into town it is going to be a fun week!

And here was our 2nd date! The first one was a bonfire at his house, I didn't take a picture. Next post will be about our wedding!

 

Our Forever Home!

Its has been over a month and we are moved in and settled. The kids rooms are painted and set up. Jayce finished his living room man cave. And I finally have my dream kitchen complete with a dishwasher and an island! I find myself baking a lot more now that I have a dishwasher, I currently have a pumpkin pie and a chicken pot pie in the oven for Monday night football.  Here our some pictures of our home! 

Here is our Family Room. Or the Man Cave as Jayce calls it! Perfect for football season! And he has a place to display all of his falcons stuff.

Here is my Kitchen! I am in love!!!

 

Here is another living room wall for Jayce's stuff!

And Mr Lincolns room is Cars! or he says Queen and Matttttor..

All of his toys have a home now!! We are all glad to be out of the apartment!

 

He loves his big boy bed! And he will kiss his Mator sticker!

 

Everytime he gets changed he says Queen Queen and points to Lightning Mcqueen right above.

 

he finally has his own closet!!!

 

Here is baby girls room! it is currently a place where all the wedding stuff goes. But the paint is called watermelon slushie!

 

Mommy's pictures since daddy got the living room! I Love family pictures so it was a must.

 

First time since living with my parents that I have a laundry room! Currently waiting for a shelf and a hanger line to go above the washer and dryer!

Here is the master bathroom!! Yes it is falcons too! 

 

Our master Closet. Jayce no longer has the coat closet in the apartment hallway!! he gets the left side the rest is mine! He still says I have way too many clothes and shoes, But he has way to many falcons football clothes so it all evens out!

Did I mention my view! Here is a picture outside of my kitchen Window!!!!!!!

 

The mountain and next spring it will have grass and a swingset!

 

Darby is pretty happy to have a yard also. Mommy is happy she does not have to get dressed to take the dog out!

 

Well There is our home! We are happy and no longer on top of each other! The rest will be put together after the wedding.
