When it rains, it pours....

Okay, you know how when one thing happens and then it goes down hill from there? Well, it has happened to me again. It's actually kind of funny now. It all started yesterday afternoon when I told Garrett to put some new bubble bath up in his bathroom that I had bought. Well, instead I found 1/4 bottle of it in on our wood hallway smeared by two little boys. So, I put the boys in the bathtub so that I could clean up the floor and then Graham threw up in the bathtub - chicken nuggets and carrots!! Garrett said, "Ooh, Mommy, what is dat??" I said, "Throw up-now get out!" Luckily, I had just finished cleaning the floor. Over the next 4 hours Graham threw up about 7 times. Apparently, he has a stomach virus. He went to bed at 7:00pm and then my dad got here with my niece and nephew at about 8:30 to spend-the-night. Of course, Jeremy was on-call and not home last night. Then at about 5:30 this morning I jumped out of bed (I was sleeping in Garrett's bed so that my dad could have mine) when I heard Graham crying and my foot had gone to sleep. I somehow stepped on it wrong, heard it pop, and either tore a ligament or sprained my ankle. I know, I feel like a retard!!! So this afternoon we headed off to UMC again, for x-rays. So far, we've been there in July, August, and October. I guess next it is Jeremy's turn. Anyway, I now have a boot and crutches. It feels a whole lot better tonight. It really is funny. However, the neat thing is that for the second time I needed someone it has been my dad (along with other people) instead of my mom who has been here in my time of need and desperation for help. It has been so cool to see my dad step in when my mom would have been the one here helping. I don't know what I would have done without him today. I also have wonderful friends and in-laws who have stepped in to help. Thanks to all of you!

Nichols-Boyd Pumpkin Patch

This afternoon we went to the Pumpkin Patch after we all finished a 3-hour nap. The boys had a wonderful time. I just love Sundays with the family!!! Their cute shirts were made by my friend, Catherine, who is selling them. She is also making cute Christmas T-shirts for boys and girls.

Garrett and Graham had fun on the hayride, looking at the animals, and picking out their own pumpkins. The middle picture is Garrett handing Graham a pumpkin. The third picture is Garrett trying to "pick up" this big pumpkin.

Golf Anyone....?

Saturday morning we drove to Starkville to see the dawgs play, but first we went to the MSU Golf Course. Garrett had never played golf with his Daddy, and Daddy had a new driver he wanted to practice with. Good thing he only played 9 holes. Garrett loved riding in the golf cart. He also loved putting on the greens and getting the flag out for Daddy. The last picture is Daddy and Garrett looking for Daddy's ball!

Go Dawgs Go!!!

After golf we went to the Lodge and bought Garrett a cowbell, jersey and cap. He was so excited. Once we parked and got on campus we got to stand at the sidewalk and watch the band go by right in front of us. We met our sweet friends, the Seagos at the game. Garrett and Bryant jumped in the blow up things. Even though the Dawgs lost, it was still a great day! Garrett fell asleep 3 minutes after we got into the van! I think he had too much fun in one day!!!

The Fair......Again!!!

Thursday night we went to the fair again. We didn't have a lot of time the other day at lunch. This time we went with KK and Papaw. Garrett was such a big boy and wanted to ride everything by himself. Then when he would get on, he looked unsure of himself. It was so funny. This time Graham decided he would feed the animals, and Garrett and Graham had funnel cakes for the first time - of course, loved them. I think Garrett's favorite thing was riding down the big slide in the potato sack with Daddy and with Papaw. He wasn't so sure about that snake! Finally, at about 9:00 Garrett said, "Momma, I want to ride one more ride." I can't wait to see him at DisneyWorld in a couple of more months!!!!

Yesterday at the Fair

We met Jeremy for lunch at the fair yesterday in the hot sun. Yes, we did let the boys pet them nasty animals for free. The carrots did cost us a dollar!!!

Graham wouldn't feed the animals. He just kept walking around holding a carrot. At least he didn't put it in his mouth!!!

Garrett and his friend who helped him get off the ride!

Weekend in Meridian

This past weekend we went to Meridian for a couple of wedding showers for Jeremy's cousin, Keith who is marrying Sarah. Lana (Wa Wa) came home and this is her and Garrett playing outside on the back porch at KK and Papaw's house.

Okay, so Jeremy's Aunt Dottye (Da-Da), the one in the middle at the bottom, was complaining about her picture not being on our blog. So I took this picture just for her. This is Jeremy's mom, Kathy (far right) and her sisters. The one on the far left is Lynn (could be a sister), top middle - June.
