Pumpkin Patch

Looking at all the pumpkins

Joshua leaned on Weston...Oops, Weston fell over!

Then, Weston cried and Joshua pouted as if to
say, "I'm sorry"

Still not happy...

Me, Weston, Kristen, and Joshua
(our babies are 2 weeks apart)

I tried to interest Weston in a pumpkin
just his size, but he wasn't impressed.

First time on dad's shoulders. He was
holding onto Will's hair for dear life!

My friend Kristen and I took our boys to the Pumpkin Patch last Friday morning following our playdate breakfast. We stayed too long after breakfast and interrupted nap time for our little guys. But, we pressed on to the local pumpkin patch to take pictures, anyway. You will see in the pictures that Joshua and Weston could care less about pumpkins. They were ready to go home!! It was a nasty day outside for picture-taking, but I don't think we will be going back to the Pumpkin Patch any time soon! We'll just wait until next year...


Will and I also couldn't resist taking pictures with Weston in his Halloween suit. Weston loves his daddy, and Will is such an incredible dad. I just love my boys!

Will and I went to my 10 year high school reunion a few weeks ago. We had a blast! It was so good to see everyone. There were lots of little ones at our picnic...it was crazy to see all our friends with families now! Our main event was at Old Venice in Tupelo. The band was Reaching Jane, and they were awesome. Two of the band members actually went to high school with us. We did a sort of Who's Who awards & we were given leis. I took the lei for the newest parent--Weston was only 9 weeks old. I think Will & I closed the place down...we stayed out until 2 AM!! Not bad for new parents, huh? We were wishing we hadn't stayed up past our bedtime as we drove home to South Carolina the next day. We are planning to move back to Tupelo in the Spring, if that is where God is leading us. After being home for the reunion, looking at some houses, and attending a playgroup with Emily, we are getting very excited about our next move. Will has accepted a job as a part-time reservist, where he will be an instructor pilot. We will be going to San Antonio, TX, for a few months training in either January or March. I am looking forward to that, too! I love the River Walk. So many things are up in the air for us...and it is such an exciting time. Please be praying for us, and we'll keep you posted...

A Sort of Birthday Party

Aunt Marzelle's & Andrew's Cupcakes

Mommy had to eat his cupcake:)

With Uncle Brian

Andrew is not so sure about holding

a crying baby

Looks like Weston isn't so sure about Barney!

I can't say I blame him.

Meredith & Weston

Meredith, you'll make a great mom (any time soon??)

On the way back from the beach, we made a stop in Jackson to visit Brian, Marzelle, & Andrew, so they could meet Weston. I was excited to get to see Meredith, too! She came by our hotel room before we went over to Brian & Marzelle's. When we got to their house, there was a "Welcome Baby Weston" sign on the door. Marzelle & Andrew had made cupcakes for everyone & personalized them with names. Since Weston is not ready for cupcakes yet, I got to enjoy his! I guess Weston had a sort of birthday party, complete with presents, because Brian & Marzelle were not there for his birth. Thank ya'll so much. We had a lot of fun! Will was sad that he couldn't be there. Be sure to check out the videos I attached. You can pause the music playlist so you will be able to hear the video.

In the Bed with Mimi & Katy

Future Fighter Pilot just like Daddy


Will, Weston, and I traveled to Orange Beach, AL, to Mimi & Grandy's condo for a week. Weston loved being outside and listening to the waves. Due to Hurricane Ike passing through the gulf, the waves were huge!! A few days after the storm passed through, the ocean was almost like a calm lake. Weston enjoyed spending time with Mimi and Grandy on the balcony each day. He even splashed around in the pool with daddy. We can't wait to go back when Weston can play in the sand! Thanks Mimi & Grandy for letting us vacation with you.

Nanny Steals a Kiss

Will, Weston, & I traveled to Fayetteville, GA, for Labor Day weekend. Weston got to meet most of the Parrotts--Great Nanny & Great Granddaddy, Stan & Sophia, Mary Lynn, Traci & Javi, Stephanie, Kayla, & Emily. He was passed around from one to the next. My nieces Kayla (4) and Emily (2) even got to hold him. Great Granddaddy kept telling me, "he's a fine looking boy" and "he's a prize". Will & I couldn't agree more. Take a look at some of the pics from the weekend. I still need to get some pictures of Nana & Grandaddy from the weekend, so more to come...

A Month Into Our Newest Obsession

Weston Learning the Sign for "I Love You"


Sitting in his Rocking Chair like a Big Boy

Sleeping Through the Night!!!


Taking the Advice to "Nap when he naps"

Bath Time...He wasn't so sure about it at first



Being a Couch Potato with Dad



Wrapped Up in his Alligator Towel after a Bath

Getting adjusted to having a new baby around was a lot more difficult than people let on. The first few days of NO SLEEP turned into weeks, so we practically lived in a state of exhaustion for a while. Why don't people warn you about that? Now, weeks later, we are so relieved that he is getting on a good routine and is sleeping through the night. Will and I are "Becoming Babywise", since I borrowed the book from a friend. So far, we think it has worked miracles. Weston is absolutely adorable. My favorite times of the day are waking him up in the morning or after naps and bath time. He is so sweet when you wake him up & he loves taking baths.
