First Snow! and Christmas Preparations
This morning we got our first snow of the season and it was about 2 inches.. which is a lot for this early so I hope that means we might get a lot more this year. MJ had a ball in it. When he woke up finally at 9 am he and Neyland stood at the door forever just watching.. it was the cutest thing! Then Mike took MJ out and the boys that live diagonally from us started a snow ball fight with them, but Mj held his own pretty well.

Thanksgiving and Fantasy of Trees
This is our one and only Thanksgiving picture this year. I kind of forgot to take any more, but at least I got a picture of Mj in his outfit.
On Saturday after Thanksgiving MJ and I went with my mother-in-law and her twin sister, my niece and nephew went to the Fantasy of Trees. First MJ rode the Carousel which I rode beside him but he would not let me hold on to him. He loved it so much and did so well riding it.
Next we went by a great picture spot so we had to take some pictures.
They had an area for kids to work off some energy I guess.. it was just for preschoolers. They had cars that the kids rode around crashing into each other. I think MJ was one of the few that was actually preschool age, but he was probably the roughest of the bunch.
MJ's second favorite part of the day.. THE TRAIN. He loved playing on this with Maggie and Knox.. however we did have some fighting when it was time to get off.

Birthday #2 Celebration
Last night as part of MJ's final Birthday present we took him to Disney's Nemo on Ice. It was amazing!! Mj was not sure about what it all was but he quickly got into it.
Here he is watching the show.. can you tell he was enjoying it?
This is a picture of the jellyfish section when they had people twirling from the ropes which MJ was amazed by.
I love the bright colors of this picture.. we got lots like this.
MJ got his first snow cone.. which was a little messy but worth it!
This year we took MJ to see Santa at Phipps plaza in Atlanta. I had heard that it was a big thing with there online reservations (which all weekends were full on the 2nd day the reservations were open, so we only could get the 17th to go) The Santa there was completely worth it! He was amazing.. a few times MJ looked like he might cry but Santa knew the right things to say that settled him down real fast.
In this picture is when the photographer was doing the video where Santa talked to MJ about what he wanted and how good he had been.. I can't wait to get the video next week!
Here are some pictures of MJ opening his presents. I feel like a bad mom because my camera died in the middle of the party and I did not get to take very many pictures.
Here is Mj's cake.. he loves Curious George so that was the theme. It was such a beautiful day to send it celebrating with Friends and Family. We could not have asked for a better day. Thanks to all that came!

Catching up!
Sorry it has been a while.. Here is some pictures to catch you up on what Mj has been up to.
As much as MJ loves Thomas .. he just had to be Thomas. I think he made a pretty cute one at that.
Here Mj is with his cousins at the park for some trick or treating.
MJ's newest adventure is that he loves looking for puddles to jump in. We put his rain boots on and walk through the neighborhood looking for puddles to jump in.
Here is MJ and Papa at the Thomas the Tank ride in Nashville. Since it was on the day of a Tennessee game, Mimi and Papa decided to take MJ to see Thomas since Mike and I couldn't. Ever since this day, MJ will make the sound of a train if he sees train tracks or a train.

Update-- Sorry it has been a while!
Happy 30th Birthday to Mommy! We really did not take any good pictures for my birthday but he and I were playing around on Monday and got this one. I think 30 looks rough on me!!
We love Football time in Tennessee! Last weekend Mike had to entertain some buyers and so we got to take them into the skybox for the game. It is the way to go when it comes to games! I love my husband's job. Now if I could just get a job we would be doing good!
Here is the newest outfit I have made MJ. Since I have gotten such great feedback, this product may be available in the future for sale. ( We will see, my licensing hubby is still needing some arm twisting!)
Our little boy is growing up.. he but Mike's cap on as he watched TV. I just can't believe how fast he is growing up!
On Sept 5, Mimi and Papa took MJ for the weekend to Nashville. They took him to see Thomas the Tank Engine, his favorite! He got to take a little ride on Thomas and got a picture with Thomas. He had such a wonderful time and of course he came home with lots of souvenirs. We will get pictures up as soon as we can teach Mimi and Papa to send them!
First Day of Pre-school at Farragut COC. Got to love these looks! They said it would take to weeks until he would like it and they were right. He loves going to school now.. I don't get these looks anymore when I say it is time for school.
Warning for all Moms... This is what you get when you spill bubbles on the floor and slip in it. Pull-ups will not stand up for a battle with the floor!! And if this should happen to you.. change QUICKLY or ELSE!!!
Since it was about time for MJ to start school we decided to spend a day at Dollywood just playing. I was shocked when all the rides said that he was 36" and he got to ride some of the big kid rides. It was a great Mommy and MJ day!
For the Fourth of July, we went to Columbia, SC to Aunt Granny Franny's home. We had so much fun. Most of the time was spent in the pool, but we found out also that MJ loves fireworks! He would not go to sleep on the 4th cause he wanted to stay up and watch the fireworks. Also we tried to have a family picture taken in the matching outfits I made us, but none of the pictures turned out very well. We can't wait to go back next year!
Here we are at our favorite restaurant, Willy's, having lunch to celebrate Father's Day.
Memom and Aunt Granny Franny took us all one day to Dollywood. It was a hot day but we all had so much fun. MJ and his cousins loved playing in the kid zone in the water.
