OK, so I decided I couldn't wait til after Christmas to get a new laptop - so I am the proud new owner of a Dell Inspiron 1525! YEA, for me! I haven't installed the photo software yet, but once I do, I have some pretty cute photos for you!! First time eating spaghetti, a soapy mohawk and just monkeying around photos, are just some ideas of whats to come!

With those kind of hints - who wouldn't come back for more! I know ya do, so check back tomorrow night and see what Cutter has been up too!

Broken :(

OK so my 50 year old dinosaur of a laptop has called it quits on me! I am crying tears of saddness.

What am I going to do? I loved that thing!

I am working on Greg's work laptop write now, but he doesn't bring it home during the week. I am going to take mine to the laptop vets tomorrow and see if it is worth saving, if not, it may not be until after Christmas when I get a new one. I know that it is nothing serious, it has to do with the power to the laptop, so hopefully (keep your fingers crossed) it won't take much to fix.

My dino has been through it all and has visited almost every airport/hotel in the United States. Computers age like dogs, every year is really 7 years, and I have had mine for almost 7 years! So that makes mine going on 49 years! YIKES, thats old for a computer. I haven't been in a complete hurry to get a new one, because truthfully, this one has done what I needed to do - get on the internet, trade trips for work and load pictures.

My point in posting that I am laptopless is that I may not get to post very often and if I do post there may not be any pictures. Tomorrow after I take the dino to laptop vets, I'll know more!

Until then I am going to go cry into my pillow!!

Oh and today was my birthday, so happy birthday to me! Today you became laptopless! :( But, I did get breakfast in bed, delivered by my lil man with the help of my big man!! :)

Pumpkin Patch, Take 2!

This is about as good as our Take 2 pumpkin patch pictures got! Cutter was once again uncooperative, even though this time Stephanie and Wyatt went with us.

Someone please, please tell me this is a phase. I don't know what I am going to do if I have a kid that doesn't like his picture to be taken! I am talking in future tense, because I am holding out hope that it is just a phase!

Wyatt, on the other hand, was definitely in the mood to have his photo taken! Here is one of many photos that turned out super cute!!

You will be glad to know that I am giving up on better pumpkin patch pictures for this year, the ones I have aren't bad, I just wanted better!! I am still holding out hope for next year!

My Lil' Silly Spider!

Cutter's first Halloween was a complete SUCCESS!! We had a fun filled day of things to do.

We were invited to a Mom2Mom group by Lil O's Mom! We had a great time. Several moms took advantage of a mom with a wonderful camera and very good talent! Cutter wasn't in the best of moods, but she did a great job with what she had to work with! Thanks Kathy!

Our next stop was to Cutter's sitters house, but we got there a little late for the pumpkin painting so we just sat and watched the others eat yummy, green iced cupcakes! Maybe next year Cutter will get to enjoy one with them.

Shoo, are you tired yet, from our fun filled day? Well it ain't over yet! No time to nap at home, so it is cat naps in the car! (And I expect a half way decent kid to go trick or treating, what am I thinking!!)

Well, those cat naps worked, cause once we got home I had a totally different boy than what I had at the play date! This boy totally hammed it up for camera - with his costume and hat on! Enjoy these pictures, I couldn't pick which one I wanted to post so I just decided to post them all!!Cutter loved going trick-or-treating. He hit up about 3 houses, before Mommy called it quits. Mommy felt a little funny getting candy for a baby who couldn't even eat it! So after a few houses, we were back at our house helping Daddy hand out candy. We got lots of oooo's and awwww's at how cute Cutter looked in his costume! I would agree with them 110%.Finally, we were back in the house and Cutter loved, loved checking out all the loot he got! Actually he only got about 6 pieces, but he knew exactly what to do with those 6 pieces. Put. It. Right. In. His. Mouth. And I didn't even get a chance to check it, good thing he didn't get to "eat" it!!Happy Halloween!

Happy Fall, Y'all!!

Cutter and I went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. We will be going back on Saturday with Daddy! Out of all the pictures I took, this is the best one! Ughhhhh...

Note to self: Do not attempt to go to the pumpkin patch by yourself, have the distraction of those colorful, makes you just want to touch, round things (which your child loves) and expect good pictures!!

Playdate!

Another day of fun with wonderful mommies and babies! It had been awhile since Cutter and I had gone to one. Everyone was shocked at how big Cutter is getting! He plays so well with other children and loves to be around them too. The mommies have started a play group for each month it will be at a different babies house and we will pick a different color for all of them to wear! Today's color: PURPLE!!
