October (all in one post)

October was full of excitement for our little family.  As you can tell, we had a blast on Halloween.  Clayton and William were both little cows, and at times mad cows..lol.  Chris was a pirate and I was some what a skull face person, but when I put on Chris's pirate hat, I looked like a dead masked pirate.

I took the boys to go to LaVene's work for trick or treat, and like always, they scored big there.  Plus, it allowed Grandma the opportunity to show off the boys to everyone she works with.  I do have to admit, it was fun for me too to see them have so much fun.  And I got to go home with a few goodies for Chris and I to share...mmm I love treats, a little too much.

I started a Beach Body workout, which is part of a 60 day challenge I am doing with some friends.  I do have to admit that the hardest part for me right now is eating clean.  I have always used food as a comfort and I know I make a lot of unhealthy choices, so being part of this challenge group is helping me.  In two weeks I have already lost about 2" around my mid section mainly.  Go me!

Meemaw and Papa came for a visit and to attend little William's baby blessing.  We did the blessing a little different then what most people are use to, because of scheduling and the size of our group being so big, we decided to hold it on a Monday night, 10/28/13.  Which worked out for everyone except Uncle Tim.  We had at the church and right after we had a yummy dinner with friends and family.  William was so stinking cute in his blessing outfit, his Auntie Bekah got it for him.

During Papa's visit, he took Clayton out to lunch and to get a haircut, which he calls 'shark' hair, that is what he calls a mo-hawk...cute, lol!  Then they walked over to Target and Clayton got further spoiled by Papa and got to pick out a toy, and he LOVES his Hulk toy.

It was so nice to be surrounded by family and to be able to make memories with all of them.  The boys are growing up so fast. Clayton is bossy as ever and wants to do most things by himself, we are still trying to potty train him, he has his good days and bad.  Little William is able to hold his head up by himself and is very active, he has really great motor skills.

William reminds me a lot of his daddy.  He is very much a home body and for the most part fairly happy most of the time.  He loves to play with his toys and look around and things.  He is very responsive as well, he will watch you all the time and loves to smile and laugh...so adorable.  Clayton loves his little brother and is VERY hands on with him, a little too much at times. :-D


 Life is great and I love my family!
