Saturday, I had decided Sherrod was getting stir crazy and needed to get out for a little bit. We went to the park with Hudson, one of Sherrod's school friends, and his momma, Candace. It was so windy that we didn't stay long. We came back to our house and they played and played! They both wanted to ride the little 4-wheeler, so we put them both on there together and Candace pushed. (The battery had not been charged-whoops!)They had the best time. Hudson even let Sherrod push him in the stroller!




Tonight our neighbors, Tiffany and her little girl Kaitlyn (or "Cake" as Sherrod calls her), came over for dinner. Sherrod loves Cake. In the afternoons when we get home he will walk over to their house before they get home and knock on the door. When nobody answers, he turns around and sits on their doorstep. It's the saddest/sweetest thing! While the food was cooking tonight, Cake held Sherrod in her lap and read to him-so cute!

The Past Week...oh and Happy New Year!

This past week I had to work. However, Delta State was closed so Russell played the role of "stay at home dad." We had been running up and down the roads visiting family and doing Christmas stuff, so needless to say the Christmas presents/Santa presents were not unpacked and put away. Sherrod decided he was going to unpack his toys while his daddy watched. I got a text message from Russell one afternoon that read something like this..."I think he has every xmas present he got in the floor." Take a look!


Playing with his new work bench-too funny to not post!


Russell and Sherrod attempting to do sparklers but they were too "hot hot...it's hot!" according to my little man!

A Weekend at the Farm

This past weekend, we stayed at my family's hunting camp. My aunt and cousins came. There was lots of hunting, eating and playing! My cousin, Drew, killed a doe. Sherrod is obsessed with anything deer...the word, one on a hunting show on TV, one hanging on the wall...ANYTHING! Please excuse the nastiness of these pictures.


Drake and Landry got a trampoline from ToTo and Poppa for Christmas. They put it together at the farm so the kids would have something different to do and it was perfect considering the unusually warm weather!



We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!!

Sherrod must have been good, cause Santa came!!!

We spent the night in Oxford at RiRi and Bugs on Christmas Eve. Luckily, Santa found Sherrod anyways! The only thing missing was his table and chair set. Santa was still painting them, so he'll be making another visit in the next couple of days! He did leave him a chair from Pottery barn, a tricycle, a workbench like his daddy's and TONS more!

Christmas with the Cauthen's

We spent Christmas Eve with Russell's family in Oxford. We did run over to New Albany just long enough for my aunts, uncles and cousins to see Sherrod. He acted shy the whole time but loved his presents! After we got back to Ri Ri and Bug's house, we opened presents with them. I think Bug had the most fun playing with Sherrod's tractors that they gave him.

Christmas with the Lester's

Tuesday night before Christmas, we exchanged gifts with my family. My parents, my brother and his crew, and the 3 of us all went out to eat then went back to the house to open gifts. Sherrod wasn't all about opening the gifts. He had way more fun taking all of Drake's presents when he opened them! He was really excited about Mickey Mouse that Drake and Landry gave him and the "big truck" (as he calls it) that Toto and Poppa gave him.



After we opened gifts, Sherrod's Uncle Reid was in charge of making ginger-bread houses with the kids. Sherrod LOVED it!

Toddler Room Christmas Party

Sherrod had so much fun at the Delta State Christmas party. Each child brought one gift and they drew names to see who got which gift. Sherrod got a puzzle, which he loves! They had cheetos, cookies and chocolate milk. See how cute each one of these babies are! We're sad though because a few of Sherrod's friends will be moving up to the 2 year old room after the New Year, so this was their last day together until next summer when Sherrod moves up.
