Oh good! Mommy brought snacks! Because I'm on to this candy corn over here....it's not real! But this looks good!
Man, I love toys with handles!
Well aren't you a slippery little devil!
Try again? But I need to hold on to this other pumpkin in case it rolls away!
I see now, ...this is one of those two-handed toys.
NOW I gotcha!
Oh, this is very strange....and it doesn't even rattle....hmmm.....
It wasn't worth the effort.....I still don't have any teeth. :(

Happy Fall!

We're gonna do WHAT to these pumpkins?!?!? Cut 'em up?? But wwwhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy? (Because Daddy LOVES to carve the most difficult patterns on them. If pumpkin carving had a skill level system like skiing, then Daddy likes the BLACK DIAMONDS of pumpkin carving.)

Sunday Lunch at Buddy's house


Boo!

Betcha didn't know I'm sitting up now! I just decided one morning when I woke up that today would be the day! If I had seen what I see now, I would have sat up a LONG time ago!

Tailgating practice

It's no secret that Jay and I don't need "practice" in the sport of tailgaiting, but Jocelyn does! We took her to a Friday night tailgate party since we don't get around to doing it on gameday. We usually skate in just as the cannon goes off! She is quite the football fan! She usually makes it until the second quarter, then sleeps until the fourth quarter!

Mandy's done it again!


Dear Mandy, These shoes are THE BEST! They are so shiny on the outside and furry on the inside! JUST what I prefer in a Stuart Weitzman! Mommy's jealous....I think she thought we were going to dress alike since Polly made she and Aunt Amy dress alike, but she won't ever find these gems in her size! :) I wore them all weekend at our family reunion.....on a ranch.....every day is sparkly in my world! Love, Jocelyn

Here's what I think about the stock market!

If you don't like what the paper says, by all means, SHRED IT IMMEDIATELY, regardless of how black your hands get since they were covered in drool before you even started, right?

Smile at the Birdy!

Here are Jocelyn and her sweet friend Mae Arrington. Mae is 2 months younger (and 10 pounds lighter!) than Jocelyn. She's as tall as Jocelyn, but is long and lean like her Mommy. We are anxious for the two of them to start playing Barbies together! :)

Fun with friends!

Mae: "Hey Jocelyn! Look at my socks! Do you have socks?"

Jocelyn: : "Yes, Mae, I have socks...but they're called toys at my house, and I pull em off and chew on them."

Fun with friends!

Jocelyn: "Hey Mae! Look at this! We can jump over the side of this chair and go do something fun!"

Mae: "No way Jocelyn! You're a bad influence! Mommy's watching us right now! I'm staying riiiiiiiiiiiiight here!"

Can you believe this hair??

I never thought Jocelyn would lose her hair...she made it to four and a half months with a full head of hair and all of a sudden, it started coming out in clumps! This is what she is left with! (It's actually deceiving....when she sits in her carseat, she looks like she may have a ponytail hiding back there, but when you see her out of the carseat, you can see that ALL she has are bangs!)

5 months old!

Jocelyn is now 5 months old! She is so, so funny. And so, so sweet! She is now rolling over, which I thought would never happen, but just did overnight! She is into shrieking loudly just to hear herself, chewing on EVERYTHING, and "singing" in the car.

"Mooooooommmmmmm!"

'Mom! The History Channel is soooooooooo boring! Even Daddy is sleeping!"

This bonnet is bigger than my tutu!

Jocelyn was baptized on September 13....here are she and Polly posing for a picture before the service. A unique story about Jocelyn's gown....it is my mom's wedding dress! Polly had her wedding dress made into a gown for Jocelyn's baptism....it is identical to the real thing, except that it is short sleeved instead of long sleeved. The seamstress used every part of the dress to create the gown and bonnet! It was a very special gift that I am so proud of! She looked absolutely angelic!

Proud Mommy and Daddy


Family Photo time

Wide awake! (AFTER the service, of course!)
