a month in iphone pics....happy 2011

Wow, the holidays are over, back to school and life, starting another tax season... and learning to write 2011!

January has really been uneventful for us, which is nice after the fun holidays. Derek is in full mode tax season and Michael and I have just been hanging out. I had to take off on Wednesday of this week to take him to the doctor. He had had a cough for a few days that just wasn't going away. Thank goodness I took him because the boy had an ear infection too! Geez. But, we did have a good day with just us hanging out. We went to get him new shoes before his appointment because he kept telling me his shoes were 'tight'. lol. Thank you Grandpa & Meme for the Christmas money...this boy now has shoes that aren't too 'tight' and he loves them!!

One weekend, Juice & Pa came down. He loves taking 'pichures' especially with Juice's phone cause he can see himself! This is my handsome boy ready for church that day....

Silly boy eating breakfast before school one morning. I've had to learn how to get ready super fast and get him ready too. Since it's tax season, Daddy goes to work early and comes back to get the boy to take him to school. But, he loves getting to eat breakfast at his table and not in the highchair!

Michael is getting super smart! He recognizes cars (well, any white Tahoe or Suburban is Mommy's car!), recognizes streets and especially where you turn to go to 'am-maws house'. And let me tell you....if he wants to go to 'am-maws house' and you don't turn down the right street....he gets ticked off!!! One morning, Daddy was taking him to school and I had to run over to 'am-maws house' before going to work. I was in front of them and when I turned, Michael asked daddy 'where's momma'? Daddy said 'she's going to work'. Michael then told him 'no am-maw's house!!!' and began to throw a fit because he wasn't going to 'am-maw's house'!!!!

So, his last haircut was in October when we went to the Zoo in Abilene!!! Wow...it was time! I had an appointment, so I took Michael with me (and grandma for help!). He got his hair cut while I was under the dryer. He of course loved sitting in am-maw's lap and eating all the snacks he wanted!!

We spend our afternoons playing with play dough (making play dough choo choo trains), playing basketball outside or inside and just having fun....waiting on daddy to come home.

Some days we go outside to farm or fight some fires...



The stockshow was a few weekends ago and Michael's friend Cy came to town. We decided to take the boys up to the barn to see some animals. They were too funny. They ran around and loved seeing the pigs, sheep, steers and goats.



Silly boy getting clean....

We love our afternoon snack time discussing the day and what he did at school.

We went to church the other night to take directory pictures. They were really behind so we took the boy to the nursery for entertainment. So much for the hair do for pictures!

The other morning, the electricity went out about 6:15 and didn't come back on until about 8:15. Getting ready for school in the dark....not fun. Michael on the other hand had great fun with the flashlight!!

Needless to say, it's been a beautiful January! We've played outside a lot. And the boy does love him some basketball!

Today, Grandma & Granddaddy asked to take the boy to a Red Raider basketball game. He was super excited to go with them. And he's super lucky that his Uncle Bruce knows how to get a cool picture with the Masked Rider!!!
