Thanksgiving

We had a very good Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for all God's blessings, our family and our friends! We planned an early evening dinner which left most of the day preparing for our guests. I cleaned house for about 3 days & Jimmy mowed the yard Thursday afternoon. On Wednesday, Kelsey (Mary's daughter) came over early to help get things ready and she brought a pumpkin off their porch - the girls got the seeds out (which we baked) and then decorated the pumpkin - our "turkey" pumpkin greeted everyone as they arrived on Thursday. Kendra came over and joined the girls. The pumpkin weighed more than Wyatt!

On Thanksgiving, Mr. Ray (our Weekday Security Guard) & Mrs. Thelma joined us for dinner. They came about 2.5 hours early because they were afraid they couldn't find our house - ha! Mary & Ron, Kendra, Korey & Kelsey joined us and so did JoAnn & Terrell James (JoAnn works with me) and their son, Tanner. Jimmy fried a turkey and everyone brought enough food to feed an army! We all had left overs which we are still eating. This year Thanksgiving was on Dan's birthday, so Wyatt celebrated his first Thanksgiving on his dad's birthday!

Wyatt on the go!!!

Wyatt has been practicing walking across the floor at Lavina's with the help of a push toy! Lavina let us borrow it to take some video of him - isn't he hilarious~! He's on the go all the time!

Wyatt 8 1/2 months

Wyatt went to the doctor last week. He weighs 16 lbs. 9 ozs. He is able to start eating some cereal type snacks and a little real food. He is learning to drink from his sippy cup and is doing pretty good.

Happy Birthday!

This past weekend we celebrated my dad's birthday! He turned 84 on Friday, Nov 7. We had a party in Panama City with about 22 family & friends who came over for dinner at dad's house.

Halloween Night

On Friday Halloween Night, we walked over to Cheri's house to see Aubrey Claire who was coming over to trick or treat in the neighborhood. Aubrey is 8 weeks old and Wyatt wanted to see her in her cute Tootsie Roll outfit. Aubrey was not at all scared of Wyatt in his dinosaur costume! By the time we left Cheri's and got to Judy's, they were both asleep. The next stop was the Newtons. Tina was not home, so Kevin gave the kids some candy.

Trunk or Treat

Dan & Alexis took Wyatt to Hunter Street's "Trunk or Treat" this past Wednesday night. It was very cold. We were able to get some pictures before he started shivering and decided it was time to leave. We left the church and went to Jason's Deli for a sandwich. Wyatt was exhausted and slept through most of the dinner.

Sailboats!

A friend of mine made this outfit for Wyatt before he was born. I had it in Wyatt's closet all this time and just found it again. I decided I'd better get some pictures before he was to big to wear it. I think he looks so cute in it!

Wyatt Climbs the Stairs

Wyatt decided he had waited long enough and he wanted to show me that he had mastered the stairs. He made it all the way to the top. Needless to say, when Leesa got home he showed her too. Then Grand-daddy came and showed him, then Alexis came to pick him up and he had to show her. Then Dan came also and he showed him. So, he really got a work out on Wednesday before heading to Hunter Street for "trunk or treat!"

Wyatt found the stairs and oops......

For the past few weeks, Wyatt has been fascinated with the light in the stairwell at Grandma & Grand-daddy's house. He tried going up the stairs a couple of weeks ago and took a tumble off the bottom step. Wyatt turned around when Leesa called me to come watch him. Needless to say, we all felt bad when his lip started bleeding. Leesa tried to comfort him, but he wouldn't have anything to do with her for the first few minutes! Wyatt spent the night with us that night and Leesa was still trying to make up to him the next morning. He's also been cutting teeth as you can see in the picture, so he has not been feeling very well either.

Lavina (she keeps Wyatt during the day while Alexis is at work) had a Halloween Party for all the little ones she had kept for the past several years. Alexis & Leesa went and took Wyatt and Dan came when he got off work. Wyatt went as a monkey (see the banana on his head) because he is such a little monkey climbing on everything he can!

October Birthdays

Sorry ya'll about not keeping up better. Here are some pictures of our October birthdays that we celebrated. Leesa's birthday was October 7, Jimmy's was October 8 and Jay's was October 21. J.R. took Leesa out to eat for her birthday. We celebrated Leesa's birthday with Jimmy's this year since Kendra treated Leesa to a concert (The Hanson's) - they had a great time! Renee came up from Pensacola and treated Jay to a day at Six Flags for his birthday. Everyone came over for birthday dinner!
