Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to Pumpkin Hill with Stephanie and JD. It was cold but we had a great time! Brody loves pumpkins or as he says it, "Pumpums"

On the hayride!

Playing with JD.

They were so worn out. Brody took a 3 hour nap!

We stopped by an orchard after the pumpkin patch. Brody is looking for the dog that was there.

My little pumpkin!

Growing Up...

It's official...Brody is growing up. He is now walking. Still a little wobbly but he is getting there. Here are a few pictures I tried to take. When he starts walking towards me I get so excited that I can't take a good picture! He gets so excited and loves to fall into you.


Here he comes...
Another part of growing up is getting that first haircut. Brian and I tried to do a little bit ourselves but he needed a little bit more. We took him to this precious place in Cool Springs called SnipIts. They were very nice and Brody had a good time. He looked like a little man sitting in that chair.
He has a cookie in one hand a squeaky fish in the other.
The finished product...I could not get him to smile! He is such a big boy. We are so thankful and blessed everyday by him. He is the light of our lives and every day gets better!

Wedding Weekend

Uncle Kale and Aunt Amy got married on September 20th. I have more pictures but my computer and I are not getting along right now so I just posted the ones that I could. Before the rehearsal we had a little bit of time to go to the pool . The water was cold but Brody enjoyed being outside.


What a cutie!

Here are Brian, my husband and best man, and Kale, my brother, walking down the aisle at rehearsal.

After the wedding. The photographer there took a picture of the three of us that I can't wait to see.

Here is the beautiful cake my mom made. It was red velvet and delicious!

Here we are with my great grandfather, Pa Stafford, who is 98!

It was a wonderful weekend and a beautiful wedding. We are so thankful that Uncle Kale and Aunt Amy found each other!

Brody goes to see Thomas the Train

Saturday, Pops and Brian took Brody to see Thomas the Train. (Thanks JR!) They had a great time. Nanners and I went on a rafting trip, so it was a real boys day.

Getting ready to go see Thomas...
Brian and Brody rode a train in the parking lot. Pops was ordered to take a ton of pictures. He did a great job. He also made a little movie and as soon as I figure out how to put that on here I will...
Look at that precious face!

Brody's First Birthday Celebration

I think we fixed the computer issue, so here we go. I originally had about 100 pictures to put on here but narrowed it down to a few. This is Brody's precious birthday cake that Nanners made. It was so good!!


This is Brody's cake..he loved it!

He's not so sure about it yet.

Trying the cake...

I think he likes it!

Daddy decided to try some too...
