No Pictures

Well, I don't have a full post today due to not having any pictures to go with it. Jud's had a class for work this week, so he had to go stay in a hotel in Huntsville from Sunday til this Friday. Instead of being away from him, Wes and I tagged along! So, we've been stuck in a hotel all day Monday, Tuesday and today. I've got pictures, but I forgot to bring the card reader so those will have to wait. We got to go to the Prison Museum yesterday afternoon, but I ended up not taking my camera. That means no pictures from there. And, I've got news, but it will have to wait until I can show pictures!!

But, on a different note. To all my followers, thank you for helping me to completely pass my 15 on my 101!! Those of you that are following me that I'm not following, please leave a comment letting me know. I would like to return the favor!

I would also like to tell all of my followers (and friends) about a blog that a very dear friend and I have created together. From This Old House is a journey of two friends from different points of view on books, recipes, movies and life in general. I hope you will join Morgan and I on this journey!!

Hopefully,
Amanda

Happy Halloween 2009!!

It's been a couple of weeks since I have posted due to the three of us staying busy. I've started selling Pampered Chef, we had my cousin's son's 1st birthday party, and Jud and I went to a Hell House at a local church with our siblings! (That was lots of fun!!) But, I absolutely had to do a post on Wesley's Second Halloween! I had to work the night of his first Halloween, so we planned to make the most of his Second Halloween!

First, Daddy decided that he and Wesley were going to carve a pumpkin while I got ready! Here is what Wesley did while Daddy did the carving.

And, here is the pumpkin as Jud was first starting it!

Taking the top off........

After he cleaned it out.......

Working on cutting the design out.............

And, the final product!


Then, we headed out to my sis-in-law's church for their Fall Festival! Wesley on the way....

Wesley's cousin Gracie (a beautiful butterfly), Wesley (a cute little Monkey), another little girl from the church, and Wesley's cousin Ella (a delicious looking cupcake) during the costume contest!

Wesley and Ella together!

Wesley and Ella both won for their age group! Wesley got a stuffed puppy dog! Here he is with it!

After the costume contest, they had a wheelbarrel race. Wesley's Aunt Jamye and Aunt Jennifer teamed up for this. (We do have pictures, but I don't think that they would want me to post those! It was fun to watch though!) Next, was the cake walk! Wesley in front of me during the cake walk where he won one of Jennifer's (my sis-in-law) Mom's cakes!!

After we left the Fall Festival, we all headed back in town to Trick or Treat at Wesley's PopPop's house. On our way back into town, we were stopped on the highway where the police (and others) were getting things cleaned up from where a truck with a boat hit two horses. We believe the driver was okay, but the horses didn't fare as well. After we were allowed to pass, we finally made it to PopPop's. Here is the little monkey with his PopPop!

Here are the kids again! We had a hard time getting a cupcake, a butterfly and a monkey to all stay still enough for the picture!

After the group picture, we tried to get a little more Trick or Treating in, but only got to go to two houses. Most people had turned off their porch lights by this time. So, Wesley and both of his cousins headed to Wesley's NaNa and PopPop's house to Trick or Treat there! All three kids got little goody bags! Then, the rest of the group went to their separate homes, while Wesley spent more time with NaNa and Pop! Here he is playing in his PopPop's desk chair. NaNa was slowly spinning him around and he was loving it! (PopPop started this earlier in the week, so now Wesley goes over to the chair and tries to climb into it by himself!)

Well, that was our Halloween! I hope everyone else had a very enjoyable and safe Halloween!! Goodnight all!!
