Happy Halloween

We had a fabulous time Trick or Treating this year! More and More people participate in Trick or Treat Down the Street in Ocean Springs every year. It making waiting in line kinda boring, but there is plenty of entertainment walking around! Lots of great costumes and of course good company. Grayson was a Future Professional Fisherman. He really liked his fishing pole and his pum-pum bucket Grammie and Papa gave him....along with the goodies it was filled with! The beautiful babies above are Lexie Dale as a buzzing bumble bee, Pyper Terry as a beautiful butterfly, Jaycee Carroll as a ravishing red lady bug, and Fisher Morgan as the pirate. Gray apparently was smitten with Pyper's butterfly wings! Pyper and Gray trick and treated in Gray's wagon (Thanks MiMi and Uncle David) and shared each others candy...including the wrapping. It must have been good to them! After a long day....Gray is finally sleeping and I'm exhausted. I'm glad Halloween only comes once a year!

Grayson's Pumpkin

TA-DA! Frankin-Pumpkin. Grayson would like you to meet Pum-Pum, that is what he calls it. I must say he did a pretty good job didn't he? Chris picked out the pattern and I went to work. We even roasted the seeds! Gray had a good time and so did we. I have to give Grammie the most credit because she is the one who came up with the flameless candle for the inside. Looks just like a real candle, Huh? No more melted or burnt pumpkins or worse, burned fingers. The pumpkin can stay inside therefore will last longer, wont get smashed by mean kids, and I wont have to go outside every five minutes so Gray can see it!

Fort Maurepas

Gray and I decided to get out for a bit today and went exploring. We landed at the new playground at new and improved Fort Maurepas. I must say, If you have not seen it or been there, It is really nice. The play structure is made to look like a ship. We also walked down the pier and Gray got a up close and personal with a pelican. Sorry, I couldn't get my camera out fast enough. Gray screamed "Bird" and he flew away. Smart bird. Anyhow, enjoy the pictures.

The County Fair

We had so much fun at the fair last night. Gray liked few things and well a few things he didn't. We tried putting him on one of the little rides...A big apple in the middle and the worms go round and round? He freaked out. First, he didn't like wearing the seat belt, then it took too long for the guy to turn it on, then he turned it on. I have never seen such horror on my sons face! I made Chris tell the guy to stop the ride. Then we tried the merry-go-round. He wasn't sure about this one but was willing to give it a go since Granny was with him. He would not however sit on the horse. Then we let him "go fishing". There was little kiddie pools filled with water and rubber ducks. They gave you a little dip net and if you scooped up three ducks you win. Gray did very well at this, it took two tries, but we walked away with an inflatable Nemo. We also got to see some moo-cows, goats, bunnies, chickens (these were some of the most beautiful chickens I have ever seen), and pigs. We at corn dogs, some terrible gumbo, and of course funnel cakes. On the way out, We let Gray go down the big slides. He loved this part....twice. Once with me and once with Chris. He walked all the way up the stairs and was trying to go down by himself! By this time it was 9:00 and we were all exhausted. Overall, a fantastic time at the fair. We are looking forward to next year!

I want one or two...!!!

We took off to Newton again for a few days. Chris wanted to bow hunt so Gray and I went exploring. Look what we found! Mini-horses! These are two of the sweetest cutest horses I have ever seen in my whole life. My best guess is they are about three feet tall. That fence in front of them is only four feet high....They will come right up to the fence and let you pet them. Gray thought they were moo-cows. Boy...has he got allot to learn!

This picture was taken the Friday morning, when the cold front moved it. It was 52 degrees that morning. It was phenomenal. Gray was warming up the four-wheeler. The little smart butt knows how to turn the key, push the start button, rev the gas and turn on the lights! Thank god it was in neutral and has an emergency brake! Gray loves it, he thinks he is a big boy.

We are going to the fair tonight with Granny and Pop B, so I will have some exciting pictures tomorrow. See ya'll later!

Who's more jealous?

Pop B and Grannie came over for a visit, along with Grayson's cousin Taylor Reese and his Aunt Tracey. We all went to lunch and came back to the house to play for awhile. Taylor Reese loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse just as much as Gray does. They were just a little bit jealous of each other and for Pop B's attention. It was quite funny. Look at their faces! They were like...UH, why is he/she in my Pop B's lap? I guess I will have to agree to this if I have too. Pop B thought it was really funny! Thanks for coming to see us Aunt Tracy and Taylor Reese!

Fruit of the Loom

So I got brave today and let Gray try on his big boy undies Grammie got him for his birthday. He was very excited. This lasted for fifteen minutes...until I hear "UH-OH" and Gray is pointing to the pee-pee running down his leg onto my carpet. We have established we are not ready for big boy undies. However....I got some really cutie pa-toot-ie pictures! I think Gray may have a career in underwear modeling? Look out Calvin Klein.

Grayson's Second Birthday

I finally have figured out how to collage my pictures! Thanks Jenna! Gray's second birthday was a blast and a good time had by all. Gray received so many wonderful gifts...thanks again to everybody. Gray is working on his thank you cards. I could not ask for better friends and a more loving family. I had such a wonderful weekend and I know Gray had a awesome time too!
