Happy Birthday Chris!

We celebrated Chris on Novemeber 1st! We are so lucky to have him as the head of our little family. His parents came over for cookie cake and gifts. The kiddos got him new Justin work boots and a Marmot rain jacket. (We actually got him Toms too, but they were WAY too narrow for his feet, so they got returned!) I hope he enjoyed his special day!! :)

These were too funy not to post.. Gray did NOT like the birthday candles or the singing! Poor guy!

OH MY!!!! Looks like he's not to be big into birthdays like his older siblings! ;)

We also made him some Star Wars cupcakes per Ethan's instructions. Thank you, Williams Sonoma! ;)

We love you, Chris!! Happy 28th!

Rice Cereal

I'm going backwards a little bit with this post, but the pics are too cute not to share!

Before we tried bananas, we started out with just plain ole rice cereal. Which he DID NOT care for in the least! He's better with it now though. He still hates bananas, but seems better with avacado. (Bonus, it was just as easy to make as the bananas were!) :)

I tried to put him in my lap to see if it would make it better.. it did not, I assure you! :)

Hopefully, we'll eventually find something that he likes! I feel like Katherine Heigl in that movie, Life As We Know It, when she keeps trying to make Sophie's food and Sophie just hates everything she gives her! Yes.. that's me right now! ;)

Southern Snow

Several weeks ago, while it was still warm (although it is in the high 60's today!), we took the kiddos over to Shelby Farms to get some pictures in the cotton. I dont know about you, but late Septemeber to mid October is one of my favorite times of the year. Mostly b/c all of the gorgeous white cotton that lays over the fields like pure white snow. I absolutely love it! I couldn't resist trying to get a few pics of them.

I still dont have any of my photoshop editing actions reinstalled on my computer, but they're still cute anyway! :)

We're having family pics taken downtown in December, but I'm thinking I'm going to use this one for the Christmas card this year! it melts my heart!

Chris Stickles Jr!

Sassy!

This is SO an Aunt Lynsey look! ;)

Sweet Little Man!

I absolutely love them!
