Santa Meltdown-Part Two

Gobble, gobble, gobble...Ben's hair looks like a turkey
Looking for the cows
Ben likes to sit in the window



Matt and I took Ben to see Santa last night at Bass Pro Shop. We, rather Matt, showed him the boats while we waited. When it was our turn to see Santa, Ben walked right up to him saying, "ho, ho, ho" but didn't want any part of sitting on his lap. So the meltdown continues. They snapped a picture, but Matt didn't have time to take one. We have decided no more Santa this year!!

Doesn't he look tall in this picture?

All I want for Christmas....
Can you tell he is making the boat sound?

Hats, Dentist Visit, and Cow clothes

Check out my hat
Let's go see Mammaw...it's Monday at Mammaw's
I had a dentist appointment a couple of weeks ago and Ben went with me. Aunt Tina watched him and let him play with balls while I had my teeth cleaned.

This was Colin's outfit...and it has a cow on it.
I haven't been able to snap a "still" photo in a long while

Winterfest 08

Grammy and Frances took the boys to Sevierville's annual Winterfest kick-off on Monday. They met Amy with Kennedy and Colin after school. I sent my camera so I would have some pictures...thanks Fran for taking them. I wish I didn't have to work!! It looked like everyone had fun!

Trick-or-Treat!

We went to Matt's uncle's house last night after making a few trick-or-treat stops where I forgot my camera in the car :( . Here are a few pictures of getting ready to leave and at the party. Ben dressed as his cow, "buuh", and begged for a balloon from Jeremy which I tied to his costume.

Ball, I mean pumpkin. When you ask Ben where the pumpkin is, he points at it but still calls it a ball.

Happy Fall

Ben stayed at Grammy and Pappy's house while I worked Wednesday and Thursday. He had play dates both days with Jackson and Jacob. He loves to play with them. Thanks Frances for taking these wonderful pictures with my camera...I wish I had been there!

Helping a brother out...

Dad had covered our tomato plants to protect them, but unfortunately, the actual tomatoes froze. Jack, Jake, and Ben pulled the frozen tomatoes off the vines and threw them to the cows....

Look how intense Jake is...

Fall Days

Ben and I went "neighbor hopping" on Thursday. I wanted Benjamin to get to play outside before the weather turned cold and rainy. We walked to Aunt Ruby's with Mammaw, played with Pappy on the four-wheeler, and ate a popsicle at Mammaw's before taking a long afternoon nap.

Ben loved the 4-wheeler!!
If you look closely, you can see Ben signing "more"...
