Thanksgiving Program at FUMC

Sarah Foster as one little Indian. She looked so cute on the stage. This was her first year in the program. Her 2 year old class was so cute!! All of the pictures with her class came out too dark.

Parker and the 4 year old classes as another little Indian. This was his third year in the program, and he also did a great job!!

Our Family!!

Walker's first night eating at the big table

He does not like to sit in his high chair. He really likes to eat on the go. After making him sit and not stand in the chair, he did finally sit and eat. I am hoping this will continue and I can get rid of the high chair for goo!!

Boys at the hunting camp

Youth weekend this year was a big event in the Brown family. Chad had been planning and preparing for several weeks. He and Parker were so excited. Again, I do not understand all of that, but my boys LOVE it!! Parker and Chad met Chan and Carter and Big and Campbell in Greenwood. The kids played and had a big time. On Saturday Campbell killed his first deer. Everyone was excited for him.

Outside!!!

Walker loves to play outside with balls and a scoop thing to play catch with. Outside is one of the first words he says every morning. He is so close to walking. I have started putting him in old sweat pants and socks and letting him crawl around on the patio. He loves it!! He crawls to the tub of toys and over to the edge of the patio looking at all the leaves. You can almost see him contemplating if he should crawl in the leaves or not!!

Christmas Card Picture

Can not believe we got one!!! Saturday morning we drove from Brookhaven to Greenwood to the hunting camp. It was Sarah Foster's, Walker's and my first time to see the camp. There is a huge wooden rocking chair on the from porch I thought would be so cute for a picture. We only took about 75 pictures and had a pretty good one of everyone. They loved rocking in the chair, riding the 4 wheeler and playing outside.

First Whole Banana

First time Walker has eaten a banana from the peel. Sure makes things less messy. Walker has fun playing with Kristy.

Swimming in November

The kids and I went to Brookhaven early one Friday morning the early part of November. I was going to look at fabric for Sarah Foster's big girl room and learn how to make cinnamon rolls. We stayed with Chad's aunt and uncle. Kim and Kristy's is were we have our family weekends in May, so of course, Parker and Sarah Foster were having a hard time understanding where all their cousins were and why we weren't swimming. While Walker was napping Friday afternoon, It was so nice Kristy turned on the hot tub and the kids got to swim. As you can see by the pictures, I did not bring swimsuits. It is November!!! The temperature was in the 70's, and they actually got in the big pool because it was pretty warm. They had so much fun, and Kristy and I enjoyed watching them in the sun.

Kids

Before school one day. I love both of these outfits, but they look so big

Halloween PJ's

I stressed so much last year about the kids having Halloween pj's and getting a picture on the blog before Walker was born. This year Walker is wearing Parker's old pj's and this picture was not taken until October 30th, and it is the end of November before I am even getting it on the blog. Oh what a difference a year and another child makes!!!

First time in a bouncy. Loved it until the big kids got in and started jumping!!

More eating

Just like his sister wants to do everything by himself. This includes holding the breakfast bar by himself.

Walker's new high chair

Walker despite being strapped in the high chair kept finding ways to stand up. So, we lowered his high chair and now he stands up and eats most of the time. He will sit in the chair for a couple of minutes and then he wants to stand up. I can not believe this, but I am about to bring the little table back up stairs and let him eat there. Maybe Parker and Sarah Foster will join him. I am so excited at the thought of FINALLY being completely through with a high chair!!!
