Just another fall day...

H-A-double L-O-W- double E-N spells HALLOWEEN!!

First of all can we talk about the fact that - to this day - I can't spell Halloween without singing that song "H - A - double L - O - W - double E - N spells Halloween! If you went to Britt Elementary I know you just sang that as you read it - don't lie!! :) It's probably partly because I can't spell - but seriously - it's catchy! :)

ANYWAY... the week before Halloween was kinda crazy. Harrison spiked a pretty nice fever - but continued to act completely normal (which thankfully ruled out the flu). However - due to the fever he wasn't allowed to go to school - so Corey and I took turns staying home with him. Luckily nothing really ever came of the fever and after about 4 days it finally broke. All that to say that by the time Halloween rolled around on Saturday - Corey and I were exhausted! We took Harrison to Mimi and G's neighborhood - where they had their annual costume parade - and pizza party at the club house. After pizza it was raining- so we only went to a couple of houses before we took Harrison back to Mimi and G's for a nice warm bath! I'm pretty sure Corey and I went to bed right after Harrison that night!! haha - I know... we're lame!!

I know you're shocked - Harrison was Thomas

getting ready for the parade

Come on Mom and Dad - they're getting away!

Pizza break!

First house!

Trick-or-treat!

Headed back to the house with Mimi and Dad!

Caught in the act! As Harrison says he was eating his "trick-or-treat"

Family picture before bath time!

A day at the "farm"...

Every year we go to a family friend's "farm" - it's not actually a farm farm - it's a tree farm - but we call it "the farm" so just go with it. They have tons of land - hayrides - tons of food - a bonfire - and this year they had live music! It's always really fun - and this year Harrison had a blast too because there was a big sand box for the kids - BOO!! Harrison thought it was the best thing ever... he kept trying to sneak his way back over there... and finally we just gave up and let him play in it! I'm pretty sure he came home with about 10 lbs of sand! Anyway - here are some pictures!

Having a blast playing in the sand...
Harrison and Bailey playing with the little tractor!

It's a little blurry but can't you see the joy in both of their eyes! :) haha!

Brittoni always snaps the cutest pictures!!

(these are actually all her pictures that I stole - thanks Brittoni :) haha)
Harrison and I on the hayride!

Mountain trip 2009

We had a great time on "Mountain weekend 2009" - our only complaint was that the weather was kinda crappy - but it didn't stop us from having fun! We went to Blue Ridge - Ellijay - the North Georgia Apple Festival - the Sorghum Festival - and even a couple apple orchards! Harrison had a blast because he got to play on the train tracks! Oh - the little things in life!! :)

Harrison and Nana dancing!

Hanging out with Papa eating an apple - there's a chance that kid ate about 15 apples this weekend - haha!

Corey and I snuggling for warmth at one of the apple orchards!!
Check out little Davy Harrison with his 'coon skin hat! haha!

This is the best thing ever - it's called the PeaPod Plus - and it's a little tent that fold down to nothing (and it comes with it's own little air mattress)!! It's awesome for traveling - Harrison LOVES it - and we don't have to take the pack & play with us anymore!! YEAH!

Hanging out at the Apple Festival parade - Harrison loved it because they threw candy!
On the bus from the parade to the actual festival... I couldn't resist - he just looked too cute!

Rare picture of Harrison and I - I really need to get out from behind the camera more often or Harrison is going to look back at pictures when he gets older and wonder where his mom was!! :)

Where's Harrison?!?!

Laura fell asleep on the way back - and Corey got out to pump gas.... and be a creeper....

awkward! :)ROLL TIDE!Don't they just look like the cutest little family... maybe I can just photshop my head on Laura's body.... you think anyone will notice?? HAHA!!

Harrison girls - we all wore scarves on the same day - aren't we cute! :)

Harrison playing on the train tracks - his favorite place!

A little too bright - but still cute!

2nd Birthday photo shoot...

Since Corey got me a really nice camera this year I figured we'd forgo the trip to Portrait Innovations and I'd take his birthday pictures myself. If I learned ONE thing during this photo shoot it's that I'm NOT cut out to photograph small children - especially my own! It took about an hour and a half and I think I got 4 good shots??? Oh well!

Here are a couple that I thought were cute...

Total cheese face... not what I was going for - but still cute!

I like the angle on this one - but not this face....
Harrison with the piggy! :)
One too many fingers buddy - you may look 3 (or 4) but you're only 2! Soooo close to a great shot! Maybe I can just photoshop that one extra finger off... nah - that might look a little weird! :) haha!

Now for my favorites......

Last tailgate of the season!

This is really old... like this happened Oct 3 - I'm embarrassed.... oh well!! Here are some pictures of our last Braves tailgate of the season! We didn't win the tailgate competition - but the weather was perfect - and we had fun!

Harrison chillin' on the corn hole board!

Dad and Harrison having fun!

I love this picture - just wish Harrison wasn't making a crazy face! I've come to terms with the fact that 2 year olds don't make normal faces... and I'll just have to deal with it!
Looking though the popcorn box - please note that he had just dumped all the popcorn all over the ground - and budget man wasn't happy! :)

Watching the game... this probably lasted about .2 seconds before he was up and running again!

1 - 2 - 3 WEEEEEE!!!

Garner group shot after the game!

(Sorry it's a little dark - guess I didn't get around to editing it yet!)

Twinkle twinkle...

I have a ton of pictures I want to post from the Braves tailgate we had this weekend... I just haven't had time to edit them yet.... I did want to quickly post 2 videos from tonight. The first one is Harrison singing his new favorite song - twinkle twinkle little star! (Oh - he does get a little distracted by a boat on tv... just ignore that part :) haha)

And the second one is Harrison telling Dad to WAKE UP! So stinkin' cute!
