Thanksgiving '09 All About the Birthdays - more to come

Thanksgiving '09 All About the Cousins

We had a wonderful time in Aberdeen for the Annual Thanksgiving Family Gathering. Mattox had a blast playing with his cousins Ean and Quinn from Florida as well as all the other cousins who were mostly BOYS all about the same age!! They were all sooooo cute and funny. They ran around whatever establishment we were gathered at and played and got along so well. It was so sweet to see them all together!!! We are all so blessed to be part of such a wonderful, big family. To be able to get together each year is truly a great joy. I wish had more pictures of ALL the boys playing together. If anyone out there reading this has some, please email them to me.

Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder came to Mobile!! Jason, Sally and Luke came over to go see him with us. We had a great day!! Luke and Mattox played and played! Luke loved picking the flowers outside Bob's trailer and Mattox was amazed by the solar powered porch light on the trailer. They were soooo cute!!!

A Few Fair Photos

We had a fun time at the fair this year. Mattox loved the pony ride best but the pics. weren't good. I was a very brave mom and I let Mattox ride 2 rides by himself!!! Yes, it took LOTS of coaxing from Stephen. He is such a big boy! I can't believe how much he has grown and changed. Everyday he amazes me. When I call him my baby he says... I not baby... Mattox big boy. He will always be my baby.

FOOTBALL!!!

My dad has been wanting to go to a Southern Miss. football game so Mattox and I met him in Hattiesburg and Mattox went to his first football game. We met for a snack at the mexican restaurant where Stephen and I met ( and worked together). Then we looked around the campus before the game. I thought Mattox might make it half way through the game... however, he loved it!!! There were 3 minutes left in the game and we left to try to beat the traffic. Mattox threw a fit to stay! Being at the game made me think of my mom. She has told me about going to Southern games with my dad. I chanted the cheer she taught me with a smile... B I G G O L D Big Gold, Big Gold, Country!!!! My mom loved football!!
