Scooter's First Experience Walking in Snow

I decided today that Scooter and I needed to get some outside time so I put on his snow boots (...that he HATED at first) and took him outside to play in the snow. It was so much fun. I put him down on the ground and at first he really didn't know what to do so he started out taking tiny tiny steps to try and feel it out. This went on for several minutes until he decided that this boot/snow thing really wasn't all that bad. Once he was confident that everything was going to be okay he couldn't get enough of it. As you can see....I could hardly keep up with him. I tried hard to get some video of it cuz it was so stinking adorable, but as luck would have it my videocamera battery was low and I couldn't get it to focus. Oh well...I've still got these adorable pics. I love to see him learn and explore. My baby is definately growing up fast. I swear it doesn't get better than this!

Propulsion Pilates

So I finally went to this pilates class that I have been wanting to go to for weeks. I was a little nervous cuz I am so out of shape and I have never really done any pilates or yoga before. It was a very small and private class which was good and boy did it rock my world. It has only been hours I am already feeling the effects, but fortunately in all the right places. I was impressed with the class and recommend it to anyone!

Snowman Shuffle

I decided to run in this very small 5K today that I had run in last year. I haven't hardly run at all so I was a little nervous that I would get half way and die. It was MUCH warmer this year than it was last year and they started the race a little later so it made for very good running conditions. I really couldn't have run it any slower than I did if I tried, but it was a lot of fun and I'm glad that Carol and Shelly talked me into it. Hopefully this will help me to get my crap together and get out there and start running. I definately could use it!

Grandpa Reed Back in the Hospital

We got a call in the middle of the night last night that they took Grandpa Reed back to the hospital. He hasn't been feeling good for a few days and they thought that he had a sinus infection, but last night he just wasn't acting right so they decided to take him in to get looked at. They initially thought that he was having another head bleed, but when they did another CT scan today with contrast they found just what none of us expected.....a tumor. It has been very devastating news to all of us and we are just waiting and praying for some good news. They are doing some further scans of his body to see if there are any other tumors and we are just waiting the result of that to determine what the next step will be. The doctor said that if everything else comes back clear they will plan to do surgery to remove the tumor in his brain on Monday. It has been a very emotional day for everyone, but Grandpa is really keeping a good attitude about the whole thing. He has really been giving the doctors and nurses something to smile about. Pray for Grandpa Jerry and for good news!

Thanksgiving

I had to work today so some of our day was spent apart. Layne and Corbin went to Grandma and Grandpa Reed's for a while to visit. Fortunately for me, Layne was kind enough to bring Scooter to the hospital to eat a turkey lunch with me. It was was lots of fun and I am very grateful that they came. Once I got off work we went to Grandma Bateman's for dinner. She worked very hard and made a fantastic Thanksgiving meal as always. It was kind of a smaller group than we normally have a Grandma's, but we still had a good time. Of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without some of Grandma's amazing homemade ice cream. Afterwards, we drove to Grandma and Grandpa Green's house for a visit. It was really nice to see everyone and appreciate all the great food. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Corbie Snoozin' at the Table

Today I walked into the other room and left Scooter in his chair eating for a honestly a matter of minutes. I thought it sounded oddly quiet and thought that he may be getting into mischief so I returned to check on him and this is what I found. I think that he was a little tired....what do you think?

Halloween

It's Halloween....one of my favorite holidays. I know this may come as a surprise to many of you haha, but today we decided to go back to my favorite era....the '70's (....I mean really where would we be without the Bee Gee's?).This morning we took Scooter over to the hospital for the annual Halloween daycare parade. There were tons of kid and lots of admirer's at the parade and everyone just loved Corbie's costume. Layne and I were absolutely amazed that he kept his wig and glasses on the entire time without a fight. He got lots of candy and I think that he had a good time.

Once I got off work, Layne and I decided to join in on the fun and like a big bunch of dorks dressed up as well.

We spent the night trick or treating at all our friend and families houses. Along the way we met up with Ironman (Brycen) and the most adorable little stinker....Cierra! I'm not sure any of them really knew what was going on or why their crazy parents had them dressed in these funny outfits but they were really good sports about it. Happy Halloween everyone!!!!
