Farm

We had a such a fun time at Parker's birthday party at The Barnyard. Graham LOVED it!! They had tons of animals. He loved riding on the horse...we couldn't believe it. He is so shy usually, but he hopped right on and smiled the whole time!

He also got to sit on a mule.

We got to go on a hay ride through the woods.

Feeding the chickens and pigs.

One of his favorite things was driving the old tractor!!

Pumpkin Patch

I am super picky about pumpkin patches...it really, really bothers me when people pile up pumpkins and say that it is a pumpkin patch! I would rather drive to the country and visit the "real" pumpkin patch where the pumpkins were actually grown.

Well, today we went to a "pumpkin patch" that wasn't real, but as you can see, Graham loved it!!! How can I complain about that!! We all had a great time, and it was the perfect day to be outside!

MSU vs. LSU

We took Graham to his first MSU football game! He had a blast!! It started out as a very rainy, yucky day, but he was a trooper! We got to spend some time tailgating with Emily and Troy and had a blast!! We got there around 9 and didn't leave until almost 7..we were shocked that Graham was happy and made it the whole day!!!

He loved the game! There was so much to entertain him! He loved wearing his new MSU cap...now anytime football is on tv, he has to put on his cap! The popcorn entertained him for at least 1 quarter!

Right before half time, he decided to take a little snooze. We couldn't believe he slept with all of the noise...especially the cowbells. But, a 20 minute nap was enough to keep him happy the rest of the day!

Graham didn't cheer at the game at all, but as soon as we left the stadium, he started cheering, "Go State, Go!" He has a MSU football book that he wants to read at least once a day now!

Beach Trip

We were lucky enough to go to Orange Beach for a week in September with Nonnie, Poppie, Brandie, Tim, and Drew! We had a wonderful time! Graham and Drew were great and had a ball! Graham loved swimming this year!

This is the second year in a row that we have gotten to see baby sea turtles hatch! What a neat experience!!!

Graham never lays down except when he is sleeping. But the pool and beach wore him out! Almost everyday, he got in our bed and watched tv for a little while...so sweet!

Drew loved the beach, but Graham didn't care for it so much during this trip! He liked it for about 20 minutes, and then was ready to go!

Brandie and Tim are much better at taking pictures than we are, so hopefully they got some really good ones!!

Sweet Graham

Graham is a such a fun age! He'll be two in November, and time is passing by too quickly! It seems like he is learning and saying more everyday!




* This boy loves any kind of sport. This is him going to bed with a ball in each hand!



* He will not say, "Graham." If you ask him what his name is, he says, "Me!" Justin called him Graham-bo when he was a baby. He will repeat that if you ask him to, but not Graham.



* He loves pancakes. Just about anytime you ask him what he wants to eat, he will say, "Pancakes!"

*Graham doesn't like ice cream. We can't ever get him to try it or eat more than one bite. He does love these little ice cream cones, but if you can see...he eats the chocolate off of the ice cream and eats the cone, but leaves the ice cream:)

* Graham loves going to "Home -Poe" with Justin. He loves going to Home Depot or Lowes with Justin on the weekends! He starts screaming Home-Poe any time we pass either one of them!

Baseball

Graham loves any sport that involves a ball! Lately, one of his favorites is baseball. Anytime we turn on the tv, he wants to watch either baseball or football! Here is a video of him playing t-ball recently.

I have a ton of pictures to add to the blog one day! We've been busy!
