Sorry, it has been a while!

Yes, if you are wondering is that the greatest country singer alive. Erin and I went to see the amazing and greatly talented George Strait. Every year for the last 8 years I have been to see George in concert. The concert improves every year and I cannot wait for next year. I believe that he rotates visits between Memphis and Birmingham. Last year he came to the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis. It was so convenient. This year he only came to Birmingham and it was on a Thursday night. Erin and I went to see him in Little Rock. We had a great time and it was nice to have a girls night out. Thanks for going with me Erin and I'm sorry that you had to listen to my terrible singing. I think she had fun and she was surprised by how many songs she knew.

We are climbing everywhere! Getting on the couch

still getting on the couch...

on the couch

Yes, I made it! Cheese!

Merry Christmas

We could only take a decent picture if Landon had my bottle of lotion in his mouth. We had everyone to come to our house on Christmas Eve. We had a great time and we look forward to continuing this tradition every year.

Ho Ho showed up for a surprise visit; however, Landon was not real excited.

Merry Christmas!!

It's been a long week!

I must say that teaching is absolutely insane during this time of year. I truly feel that my second graders eat sugar all day long during December. They have been so wild. I think I can survive four more days, but I am not sure.

We went to the Hernando Christmas parade on Monday with Chris, Erin, and Landon's best bud, Reed. It was so much fun. We are truly blessed to have such great friends. Landon had a lot of fun especially with the cotton candy. Sorry Chad :) He was ready to kill me. I must have cotton candy at the parade.

Landon is now climbing. He climbs in his rocking chair and tries to sing. It is so funny!

Let's eat!

Landon loves to eat if you weren't able to tell from the pictures! I put some cookies for my secret teacher in my shopping cart and I went to grab a drink for my mom and I. When I returned my mom had given Landon the cookies. She thought they were for him. He made such a mess; however, the best part is that he ate the cookies in my mom's car. She is probably to this day digging out Oreo cookies from her seats. During Thanksgiving he ate so much that I do not know how he did not blow up. He is eating chocolate pie with Pop and loving every minute.

Baby it's cold outside! I love his hat and mittens. I try to put them on him every chance I get.

Things have changed since my college days...

Shelley Simpson, Emily Morreale, Margo Scoggins, me, Mary Katherine Ellis, Erin Gapen
I love these girls so much. We never get to see each other any more because we are so spread out. It was a great game and we had a blast with our wonderful friends.
It was a special treat that I got some long over dure hanging out time with LT.

Landon and I took a quick pic before heading off to the fall festival at our church. Landon and Reed were so cute all dressed up. Check out the Gapen family blog for more cute pictures of Reed.
