Lately...lots of pics!

The flower sound asleep in Jay's lap while all the other kids trick or treated!
The infamous tongue! She sticks it out ALL the time.
Smith's Halloween costume!
He and I were headed to his dads and he fell asleep. He's a little big for the bib, but he was eating mac n' cheese in the back of my car.....figured it couldn't hurt!
Yes, we can stand up and hold onto the side of the crib...scary.
Playing at memamma's house. She LOVES her jumper.
Synar and Gibb at the Bama game!
This was my dress when I was a baby! Chocolate Soup...too bad they dont' have cute stuff like that anymore!
Sitting up like a big girl

What have we been up to lately? What have we not been up to lately? Between harvest season, that NEVER seems to be ending, football season, Halloween, a VERY fun getaway, oh, and just keeping up with our rapidly growing little racal...blogging just hasn't happened. So we all know that many farmers had to leave a large portion of their crops in the field...Rotten of course, we were no exception. Becuase of that Gibson had PLENTY of time on his hands to build (or rather, have the men build) this awesome train that we used for Halloween. We had the train, a fire truck and a hayride and about 30 kids. They had a blast. Of course, Synar slept through most of it, but we still had a great time. In addition to Gibson having plenty of time on his hands, this also means they STILL are farming...uuuugh, is it EVER going to end. I want to go to the game this weekend since my mom offered to babysit.....Gibson has to work. WHAT...its the end of November....They are typically through at the end of October at the latest...the rain this year is driving ME nuts! Oh well, my dad I think is going to be my date!!!!
Right after Halloween, Gibson and I went to Napa, Sonoma, and San Francisco with our friends Marney and Paul. We had WAY too much fun. If you go I HIGHLY suggest getting a limo to drive you around...we did Sonoma one day and Napa the next...had a BLAST. We realized JUST how much fun we had when we went to ship all the wine home. You had to write down each bottle, the vintage, price, etc. Yeah, kinda forgot about all those bottles of wine until we started doing that.....whoops!
Synar is growing like a weed and learning more and more everyday. WE have so much fun just watching her. She is very much a daddy's girl. He puts reads to her, gives her a bottle and puts her to bed every night. I know....I am VERY fortunate. He adores her and I love to watch the two of them together! It is too too too precious! WE went for our 6 month check-up. 27 1/2 inches (off the charts...not sure where its coming from) 17lbs 15oz (60th percent...she has been in the 90th) No teeth yet, but rolling, sitting up, getting up on her knees and scooting, and can stand and hold onto something (with one of us RIGHT there in case she gets tired) She talks up a storm and LOVES to laugh and stick out her tongue...ALL the time!
That's about it for now...I will post more if I think of it!
