Oh memory, please don’t shut down on me now…

WELLLLL HEEEELLLLOOOOOOOO! :)

I keep putting it off and putting it off and well, I am setting all things aside and focusing on getting this blog caught up TODAY (WHICH I STARTED WRITING THIS ON 1/18, TODAY IS 1/19 HAHA) while working hard of course :).

Post #1, OUR CHRISTMAS PARADE ADVENTURE AND PAYPAY’S BIRTHDAY

BLUE SANTA!

THIS WAS THE ONLY "FLOAT" THAT I SAW :)

SNACKIN' AND WAITIN' FOR SANTA TO COME THROUGH.

MOOOOOM, WHEN IS HE COMING!

NEEDED SOME ENTERTAINMENT..

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV. PICS EVER! COULD YOU NOT JUST EAT UP THOSE TOES! WEIRD.. I KNOW :).

THESE LADIES WERE JUST CUTE AS COULD BE...

THE CUB SCOUTS HAD SOME AWESOME CARTS!

DO YOU LIKE MY NEW TRUCK??? JUUUUST KIDDING! MOMMA SAID SCREW THE ROWS BACK THAT WE ENDED UP BEING.. WE HOPPED IN THE BACK OF THIS SWEET RIDE THAT FORD HAD OUT THERE (I REALLY COPIED SOMEONE ELSE THAT WAS IN ANOTHER TRUCK NEAR BY, I AM TOO CHICKEN TO DO IT MYSELF :))

MORE COOL BOY SCOUT CARTS

 THIS KID CRACKED ME UP.. I GUESS SOMETIMES THE LITTLE GUYS WILL SLEEP ANYWHERE :).

Well it’s official, the Trimble/ Connell household no longer have any sweet babies on my side under the age of 1. This precious little Payton joined her one year old cousin and is now officially a TODDLER. I can't believe we have "toddlers"!

THE SWEETEST KISS YOU WILL EVER GET!

PRETTY SURE THAT LOOK B IS GETTING FROM P SAYS- JUST GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY RIDE AND I WILL NOT RUN OVER YOU :).

OH... OH... OH... OH.... HIS BEST MC HAMMER IMPRESSION!

COULD THIS LITTLE TUTU WEARING PRINCESS BE ANY CUTER! I SWEAR I KNOW I AM BIASED BUT SHE REALLY IS THE CUTEST BABY GIRL I HAVE EVER SEEN :).

LOOK AT THIS ANGEL'S EYES!! SHE WAS SUCH A SWEET FRIEND OF PAYTON/ JACKSON'S!! SHE IS A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY THAT JUST LOVES JACKSON! BUT DON'T THEY ALL LOVE THAT LITTLE GUY?? I KNOW HE CRACKS BRADY UP :).

THIS IS ONE OF AMANDA'S BFF'S WITH HER SWEET BABY GIRL... SHE IS SUCH A WELL BEHAVED BABY!!

OK, SWEET BABY BOY LOOOOOVED THE WALKER.. HE THOUGHT IT WAS SO NEAT. WHAT MOMMA DID NOT THINK WAS NEAT IS THE CONTENTS THAT WERE OF A PRIVATE MATTER THAT HE KEPT PULLING OUT OF GRANDMA HILL'S BAG!! I AM GOING TO MARK THIS DOWN AS MY FIRST EMBARRASMENT VIA BRADY :).

THESE TWO, WITH AS MUCH TIME AS THEY SPEND TOGETHER, NEVER GET PICTURES TOGETHER (KIND OF LIKE THE WRITER OF THIS BLOG :)). I LOOOOVE THIS PICTURE!

We had a great time at her birthday where she got TONS of goodies! We also had a great goodie finding happen, WE ARE ALL GOOD WITH THE PEANUT GALLERY :). I speak of the peanut gallery in the term of PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH. My sweet husband wasn’t I guess thinking about the whole PEANUT SCARE for any of these little tikes when I found both of my handsomes hanging out eating a PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH. I am pretty sure he would love to have cleared the sandwich tray of those sticky squares of heaven :). ANOTHER SHOUT OUT TO THE BIG G.O.D UPSTAIRS THAT HE DID NOT HAVE A REACTION :).



Prior to the birthday festivities, baby daddy, baby, myself, mom, and dad all packed up and went to the “Christmas Stroll” in Georgetown to see what it was all about. One of my fabulous ladies had a booth out there and told me about the parade, kids winter wonderland, food booths, vendor booths, etc.. Well this year, it was all about trying to learn our ways and where to go and when, next year it will be about us getting there early to spend way too much at the way too many vendor booths that they had set up! Next year will also be about not letting everyone and their momma ease in front of us for the parade viewing so that our just off the path spot doesn’t end up being 4-5 rows of people back! Mean people. Honestly though they all had little ones, and our “little” one could have cared less about the fun going on less than 20 feet in front of him. Oh and next year my vote is not to station ourselves across the street from the parade announcers haha.. Not a good idea..

Another recommendation is not to go to the booths immediately after the parade ends along with the rest of the ten gazillion people strolling through. All in all it saved us a lot of money because I saw so many goodies that this momma could have gone broke buying, but I couldn't stop because it was so crowded and if the crowd wasn't stopping neither was I :).

To keep it short and sweet we will definitely make this a tradition in our household as it was just a sweet "little town" thing to do, and I am in love with the little town ways…even though I can’t seem to find them hardly anymore. There are tons more that we will get to do next year as hunkie gets older, this year I had to suck it up and admit that he just isn’t old enough to be interested for a long time span of looking at lights or what not… hopefully next year.
