I know, I know... I am not the best at keeping this blog up to date, but I am in nursing school and it takes up so much of my free time. Hopefully, if the good Lord willing, I will finish in one more semester with my LPN and can begin work before I start back into my RN. I really enjoy this and can't believe that I wasted so much time doing other things, but I feel the timing is now perfect and soon I will be doing my dream job! I pray that the things I do in my patients life would bring Glory and Honor to God in some way! Please pray that I would excel in my finals this next week!! I have one final, one Kaplan, and one conversion test...
Now to update: I guess I need to start with Halloween!! We had such a great time!! This year since Baker is fascinated by anything Spiderman or IronMan, we decided to do a Marvel superhero theme... Baker would be Spiderman and we (I really mean Derek) would make him a Spidey-mobile. Here is Derek hard at work!
The paint job was awesome, but it needed decals and spider legs...
So here is the final product!! Derek is AWESOME!!! I just told him my idea and he made a box into this!! #1 Dad Award goes to... DEREK!!!!
And the back!!
Baker LOVED his car! And he couldn't wait to drive it around!!
We waited for JW to show up because he was our Hulk. Then the photos started!!
This picture is so sweet to me. Baker really loves JW and watches everything he does!!
And of course this cool mom and dad had to dress up too... Ironman, SpiderMan and Captain America make a pretty amazing family!!
After our pictures, we walked over to my grandmother and granddaddy Mikel's house before heading to church. Our church likes to do something together so that all the kids can be at the same place to see everyone's costume. This is Baker trunk or treating with Aunt Mary Anne and Rylee!
This was my car and THANK YOU NANA of manning the Superhero Headquarters so we could walk around with Baker!!
And we had to have a picture with Hoss... I mean Thor! Derek and Hoss worked on the spidey-mobile together and then they built Thor's hammer! Thanks Uncle Hoss for the help!! ;)
We really did have a great time... it was crazy busy and super dark and started to rain, but Baker loved seeing all his friends at church and driving his car around!
Some of the other things that have been going on... School stuff. From football games to dress up days, Baker is loving school! He really has grown up so much in the few weeks that he has been in school! I am so thankful that God saw us through this transition and has kept his hand on Baker through it all!
Here is me and Baker on the way to a football game!! Baker LOVES going to the games. Of course his favorite part is the Band. He gets that honest with all the blood, sweat, and tears that Derek and I have put into that field! HA!
Some of the dress up days made Baker very happy... He was able to dress as Iron Man. Of course we didn't have the costume and with Halloween over, I wasn't gonna find one. So we used his shirt that he had! And his mask! And of course Iron Man doesn't have a cape, but BakerMan does!!!
And this was one that was fun for me!! We were Advertising Good Books and had to make a walking/rolling billboard. This is one of my favorite books to read to Baker!! So I made the cover and back page of the book... And glued toys on there to make it cuter!! HA!
For anyone that doesn't know the story, the point is that the little boy has so many toys and has to clean some out... He and his mom go through and put some toys in a box and when the mom comes back, the little boy had dumped all the toys out and was playing like he was an austronaut in the box... and it was the Best Toy Ever!!! So I put Baker in his Buzz costume in the box!!
They lined up and all the kids had a parade of books thought the halls!! Baker lead the pack!!
And this is some of the Kindergarteners!
Another exciting thing that has happened was we celebrated my Grandmother Meadow's 90th Birthday. I wish I had the picture of Baker and Grandmother, but it is on another disk right now. But here is some decorations...
Mom and I spent so Mother-Daughter time together and went to a paint Class... It was mom's first time doing something like this and I think she did great! Here are our turkeys...
Oh and Check Baker out in these pictures... He is getting so much stronger and I am so proud of him for wanting to spend time sitting up. Now to strengthen that core so he can sit with no help!! (PLEASE excuse me in these pictures...And Baker's Moppy hair...)
I know there is more that I want to update, but this gets me to December. We have had lots of elf fun around our house and lots of decorating, so I will get to that soon!
