Flashback Friday- Sort of

I named this post a sort of flashback because it is only from a year ago! I couldn't find any other Thanksgiving pics. I also included some from this year at Day's "school" to show how much Day has grown from last year to this year. Last year my family met at a restaurant here in town. It was nice that no one had to cook for Thanksgiving! This is my moms side of the family. I can't wait to see them all again this year. We are not having Thanksgiving with them until tomorrow. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Melinda, I can't wait until the next assignment! This is fun.

Tag, Daddy's it!

This post is all about my daddy.


My Daddy when he was little. I've heard he was a little ornery. There are lots of stories of how he used to climb, how independent he was, and how he was a free-spirited child. Mommy thinks I act like my daddy, something daddy secretly loves!

Daddy and mommy met on a blind date, and they got married 18 months later! Even though it was a blind date, they later realized that their grandpas served in the war together, and daddy had even played dominoes with mommy's grandpa.


Daddy is very much a country boy! He loves the small town life. He enjoys working outside, especially on a tractor. His favorite hobby is hunting. Mommy is in denial over this (she is an animal lover). The other thing he loves to do in his free time is play dominoes. On Monday nights he likes to go down to a convenience store about 10 miles from where we live and play dominoes with all the other men. Its kind of funny . Daddy is about 30-50 years younger than all the other players! He also loves OU football!



My daddy also loves his job. He operates a crane. This is from a job where he had to hoist guys up in a man basket so they could change out Christmas lights! Although none of us are happy about daddy's hours, we are very proud that he has a job that he loves. Its pretty cool!

Most importantly, my daddy loves me! Family is very important to him. He takes good care of our family, makes sure we go to church, and encourages mommy to follow her dreams. Thanks, Daddy!

Trick or Treat Part 2

Okay, so I know its a little late for this, but mommy took some pics with a disposable camera and didn't get the pics back until today. So here are the rest of my pics.

Trick or treat part 1

Thursday we had a Halloween party at school. We painted pumpkins, and did all sorts of fun stuff! I also went trick or treating on Saturday night. My cousin Tristan and I have always got our picture taken together on Halloween (well 2 times since this is only my second Halloween). I trick or treated my Great Grandma Coats and my Step Great Grandma Dixie. I also trick or treated my Nana Smallwood, and my Nana Byrd (along with my daddy's side of the family my Great Mema and Pepa Mullins and Great Grandma Byrd. While we were driving around town we noticed a very scary house. It was papa's friend Delton's house. We had to stop and take some pictures. There are alot of pics so here is the first set. Oh, and I hope you all like my kitty costume- MEEOW!

Creepy Critters

Mommy must be on a roll this weekend. Today we visited the creepy conservatory at the Myriad Gardens. First I got a tattoo of a frog with a witch's hat on my hand, and then I got to decorate my own Halloween sack. As we walked through the gardens various costumed people gave me candy! It was fun, but to top it all off at the end there were various "creepy critters"! I wasn't afraid to pet any of them. My favorite was the turtle. I even tried to kiss him! I also pet a fox, lizard, python, lemur, and baby alligator. The older I get the more I get to do on holidays! I'll leave you with some slithering sights!





My tat!

I love you, turtle!

Hi, Fox!

My friend, the python!

This was a lizard.



Trick or treat!

An a-MAIZE-ing time!

I am so glad its Fall. Its the time of year when I get to go get a pumpkin! Well my mommy, nana, and papa took me to the maize and I had alot of fun. The two things I loved the most were the animals and my pumpkin. I was feeding a baby pig when the batteries ran out of the camera. Its just a good excuse to come back with daddy. I loved the animals and wasn't the least bit afraid of them. Mommy was very surprised at how much I loved my pumpkin. I even had to hold it when we got back in the car. I kept saying, "I don't see punin". I was happy when mommy finally handed it to me!

I love to play!

I am really starting to play "pretend". I like to put my babies to bed, put a purse on my shoulder and wave bye bye, cook, sing my abc's (I sing g, p, s,v,x, and z), count to 3 (sometimes), look at books, and recently my papa Joe has taught me a punch and karate kick (he has a black belt). Mommy thinks I'm growing up too fast. She thought she lost her toothbrush, but I must have climbed on top of the toilet and got it because the picture below shows where she found it. Look carefully in my purse!
I went to my cousins birthday party this weekend. It was alot of fun. He is 3 years old! After the party I came home trying to sing Happy Birthday, but its a little more like happy day. A snake was in my party favors bag. See me scaring Y.C. (yellow cat)!
