Little Big Fun


Every night after bath we are greeted with Woody from Toy Story, a duck, a fish or this little green monster. It is always exciting to see what will appear running around the house before PJ time. The simple things in life....I love it.


The things that evoke happiness and squeals never cease to amaze me at this house. Swinging upside down is always a favorite. I love that Randall plays with Henry like he does. He and Henry are best buds. I am thankful for a husband who is a hands on daddy and adores his boy.


Easy afternoons at home are more abundant these days, thankfully. On this particular day I was having Henry try on all his new spring/summer clothes I have purchased. He was quite fond of the khaki shorts and decided to just play in them afterwards. He added the hat and made his own little "outfit" he was most proud of. I love my fashion forward fella!

 
Henry has no desire to pedal and has this super fun Mickey Mouse bike. Nana and Papa got it for him Christmas 2011. He has had it for over a year and throws a fit when we approach him about pedaling. We have a cute 10 year old boy down the street that Henry adores. We have recently told him that he can ride his bike to see him when it warms up outside if he will learn how to pedal. I am hoping this is the ticket to get him to try, in the meantime, Randall does some of his old BMX tricks on it. Poor Mickey. We play in the garage at night sometimes to pass the time on these cold winter nights. We are so ready to play outside again!
 


We are gearing up for planting season at our house. Randall got a new air bag in the mail today for his planter. It smells like new tires. Henry loves the smell of tires, so we found him sniffing it in in the den. That boy is a mess! Whenever we go to Sam's Randall takes him to the tire area and lets him smell them. It is odd, but it is harmless and it evokes happiness in our little tire lover. The little things make for big fun at our house.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
