Cute little pum'kin

Another Top Gun in the family

Caleb's costume arrived in the mail & he wants to wear it every day. His cousin James has one and sent some pictures of himself in it, so we knew where to put the patches. Caleb wanted to pose for some pictures in his, too. How does he look Major Hawkes?

Rub a Dub Dub

I found the picture of the 4 oldest Hawkes' kids while I was searching for some other pictures. I thought it was funny and tried to re-create it with my own kids. For some reason, the only two willing to do it were Caleb & Chloe. I think it is fun to see how much my sibling's kids look like them.

Pretty in Pink

Thanks to Aunt Karin, & Aunt Laura Hill for my pretty hair flowers. Thanks to Aunt Laura Armstong for my pretty new pink and blue outfit. I'm my mommy's new little dress up doll. She better enjoy it while she can, because it won't be too long before I have opinions of my own about what I wear!

Mmmm. Ice Cream.

After getting the nightly routine completed, while I have someone to hold Chloe, I came back into the living room to find this. It made me smile, so I had to take a couple of pictures. See Larry's tag (below) to see how much these photos relate.

Larry's tag (and I'm so excited about it).

1. I have a hard time telling things about myself.
2. I don't understand "Blog." I guess the term "Journal" is just too Old School. But then again, isn't Old School kind of hip? This sort of confusion seems to be quite common in my life. I put blogging right up there with text messaging - I don't understand either one.
3. Although I don't consider myself a redneck, I have many redneck tendencies - dirt bikes, construction, guns, an incredible woman that stays with me even though I have redneck tendencies and yes, I own and wear a pair of wranglers. That being said, I think most rednecks probably don't consider themselves rednecks.
4. Another thing I don't understand is on-line gaming. Is that what this tag thing is? I loved tag as a kid but it seemed so simple then, it was rather easy to pick out the weakest link and try and tag that person - hey, is that what's going on here?
5. This is the point where 1. really comes into play. Perhaps I will just go and play with my kids. As often as possible, I try and brainwash them into not being selfish, confused, redneck, weak links like myself (except maybe a little redneck). I want them to dream big and shoot bigger in order to reach their full potential - I like that.
6. My body just isn't performing like it did a decade ago, but my mind tells me it can. I won't let this stop me from working hard & playing hard, but at the end of the day the aches and pains don't let me forget my age. Luckily, I am able to find solace in a bowl of ice-cream, or two .
