Random Picture Challenge

It's time for another Random Picture Challenge hosted by 4 Little Men.

This weeks picture challenge: the 44th photo from November 2007.

Obvisously this picture is not from November 2007 as I don't have any pictures from then. I chose November 2008 instead.

This picture is from Layne's baptism. He was baptised on November 29, 2008 at my parents church. He was such a good boy. Layne loved hearing his voice echo in the church and didn't fuss at all during the service. His sponsors were Matt's brother Alex and my best friend Leah. After his baptism we went to eat at The Keg. ( It's a local fried chicken place. The chicken is AMAZING!)

The Weekend...

I'm so excited for the weekend!!! It's been a rough week this past week. I've got a busy weekend ahead but it will be relaxing at the same time. I'm so excited to take Layne on Saturday to get his 6 month pictures taken. Just wait till you see what he's wearing for them! Hopefully they turn out good. Maybe this time he will actually smile for the camera.

Bonding Time

Layne is absolutely in love with our dogs. He especially loves Tater. He loves to watch Tater play with dogs toys among other things. Tater is so good around Layne too. He will let Layne pull and tug on his ears and tail and won't even flinch. Tater is such a good big "brother"!!

Wordless Wednesday

Flashback...

I'm extremely sick of the cold weather and wish I could be somewhere nice and warm relaxing on a beach with a fruity drink or two. Well since that isn't going to happen anytime soon, I thought I would share some pictures of the trip that Matt and I went on last April. Last April, Matt's parents invited us to go with them to the Florida Keys. It was amazing. (I wish I could be there right now!) I had an amazing time. I would love to go back there someday. ( I could skip going to Key West though...That wasn't very exciting.)

Beautiful Hibiscus Flower!! I'm so in love with these!! There was yellow and orange ones growing all around the house that we stayed at along with pineapple.

The house we stayed at. This thing was amazing!! Matt and I didn't actually stay in this house. ( We stayed in the guest house a few hundred feet away. Matt's parents, and there friends stayed in this house)

Beautiful sunset on the Gulf Coast.

Me Six months pregnant by the really cool mail box! ( I was obsessed by this thing. I really have no clue why though!)



Someday I hope to go back there!

Layne's New Friend

In the middle of December, our daycare grew by the addition of another little baby. Her name is Jalyn and was born the begining of November. Layne has been very curious about her and loves to watch her intently. Jalyn likes to sleep alot which is the polar opposite of Layne. (He only sleeps at night but not during the day!) Anyways here is Layne and Jalyn "playing" together.

Menu Plan Monday

I'm trying something new this week. I'm planning my menu for 2 weeks stead of just one. Then I don't have to go grocery shopping hopefully EVERY week. ( I absolutely hate grocery shopping!!)
