Happy Birthday Lane

It is hard to believe that one year ago today I was in the hospital getting ready to welcome my little man into the world. I have been thinking back to that day a lot today. Thinking how my life would be forever changed. Most of my thoughts were selfish and silly like no sleep, no more jumping in the car, no more privacy. Life surely ended as I had known it to be for the last 25 years. I was also so nervous. How am I going to take care of this child? What do I do when he cries? What does he want? But I will have to say I would not change it for the world and I soon learned what he needed. When my mother use to say...you will understand when you have one of your own I use to roll my eyes and say okkkk MOTHER! Well, that is all too true. I can't put into words how much I love this little man and thank God for allowing me to be his mama. I love you Lane! Happy Birthday!

Girl Fun

Our sweet friend, Mrs. Treva had a great idea of having a girl day. She had all types of cosmetics and we enjoyed playing "dress up". And she made her delicious lasagne!!! Thank you Mrs. Treva for a wonderful, fun day!!;)

Fish River and More Halloween

Lane also dressed up for the AWANA trunk or treat and his mama went around and got him some candy. :) Ok maybe it was for me but it sounded better to say that it was for Lane. I'm not so sure anyone believed me though.

 

Us girls went to Fish River for a long weekend. We were able to visit with Ken and Yvonne before they headed off to LSU. (Roll Tide by the way) And we also got to visit with Sonny and Peggy and enjoy some of Sonny's fresh fruit from his trees. They have such a neat place and Sonny has huge garden full of yummies.

As we always do when we go to fish river....we rode around and looked at houses. I love the style of houses that has become so popular in the Fairhope area.

We also ate...ALOT and did a little shopping.

We had a good time and so did the little ones. John Luke LOVES going to fish river. He would say "can we just stay one more night at fish river." Little priss pot had fun too and she helps take care of Lane. Kind of like a live baby doll. John Luke also entertained him while we rode around. He got to sit right next to him and kept Lane entertained. Lane loves his cousins and they love him. So glad that we are all close enough that we get to hang out like we do. Sometimes I think we forget how fortunate we are to have family live near us.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Yesterday the seven of us loaded up and headed out to visit a pumpkin patch just above Troy. Well first of all it is NOT just above troy, it is practically in union springs and second we started trying to get there that morning around 10:30 and finally got there by 2:00. It amazes me how long it takes to get somewhere with small children but that is ok we had a good time on the way too. They had lots of different things other than a pumpkin patch. They also had hayrides, corn maze, cow train, farm animals, tire swings, gardens, blow up slides, gift shop, food and drinks and lots more neat little things to do. I would like to go back next year. We will have to start getting ready around 5:30a.m. though if we want to get there by the time it opens!

I forgot my camera so all I had was my phone for pictures...:(
