Sophie's Franklin Party

Here are some pictures from Sophie’s birthday party in Franklin!
 

More Halloween...professional style

Here are the last of the Halloween pictures (though it might take a couple of posts), these are the best of the best taken by the professional photographer. Time to move on to Thanksgiving!

Halloween

We had a very happy and hilarious Halloween! We are so grateful for the wonderful neighborhood we live in, everyone is so much fun and it is so nice to have such great friends! The night started with pizza, hot dogs, brats, etc and lots of pictures at our neighbor’s house (with a professional photographer…no I’m not kidding…is that great or what?). Then we went on a hay ride through the neighborhood! Wendy and Josie were able to join us as well (Jason was coaching a game…BOO)! Since Sophie is too little for candy, and Lord knows I don’t need it, we just rode on the trailer and Sophie ate hay instead! I wasn’t sure how Sophie would do just riding on the hay ride, but she LOVED it. She and Josie laughed and played in the hay the whole time. I think as Sophie gets older I will simply buy her the candy she likes and instead of getting on and off the hay ride 50 times to trick or treat, we can just ride around. That’s the way to do it! After the hay ride, Sophie went over to Aunt Wendy’s and Adam and I went to a party with all our neighbors. We laughed until we were almost sick, LITERALLY. I’m still laughing! I’ll post some more pictures later…but here are a few that Aunt Wendy sent to us. She is WAY more on the ball than I am, I haven’t even downloaded ours yet!! I can’t wait to see the professional pictures as well!



Yes, this is Adam’s costume…high school jock! HAHAHA…it was my idea, he still holds the PAT record at Sullivan South High School! At least I hope he does since I keep telling everyone that!
 
Late at night in Williamson County…the McCain Palin fairies come out

Cake Eaters Anonymous

he first set of pictures is a picture of Sophie eating her first birthday cake at her 1st first birthday party and a picture of Michael Shaw eating his cake at his first birthday party. Michael is Colleen Reilly’s little boy who is 3 weeks older than Sophie. For those of you who don’t know, Michael, his 2 1/2 year old sister Lucy, and Sophie share our nanny, Miss Sarah.

Anyway, the comparison is hilarious! Michael is the BEST cake eater I’ve ever seen and though Sophie held her own, I think he put her to shame…he picked up the ENTIRE cake and shoved it in his face. It was up his nose, in his ear, etc. These two pictures just make me smile.

The second set of pictures is Sophie’s 2nd attempt at eating her 1st birthday cake (confused yet?) and Michael showing her up AT her OWN party! Adam said he was making dirt (out of his chocolate cake). Oh well Sophie, there’s always next year. But you CANNOT look at these pictures and not laugh, I need to put them up at work!

 

Swinging

We met Colleen, Michael, & Lucy at the park in the neighborhood and Sophie tried out the swings for the 1st time. She LOVED them. At first she couldn’t figure out what to do with her head, which I thought was HILARIOUS. But once she picked her head up she really enjoyed it. BTW, it was 76 degrees in DECEMBER. And for those of you who are wondering…her shirt says “My dad is the man.” Thanks to Uncle Blake and Aunt Michelle…because we all know I didn’t buy it! JUST KIDDING.
