Happy Birthday My Sweet Challenge~

My sweet but yet stubborn Grayson is 3 tomorrow! He had a Buzz and Woody birthday party with some friends and family last weekend, so he already thinks he's three, although he's not offically 3 until tomorrow! Our little family just wouldn't be the same without our little CHALLENGE! He keeps me on my toes at all times of the day and night, but I guess I wouldn't have it any other way!!! Happy Bday Grayson! Mommy loves you! Here are some pics from his party last weekend.

I was pretty proud of the Buzz cake I made. Grayson loved it!

Halloween

We made it back from Clemson just in time for the rain to start in Lake Wylie. We got the kids ready and headed over to the Holby's for our annual trip down their road. We had to wait out the rain for a little while and then got the kids ready to head on out. Grayson made it to one house before he heard dogs barking in the neighborhood and he LOST it!!!!! For those of you who don't know he has a huge fear of dogs and has panic attacks when he hears or sees one. I thought he would calm down with Brandon taking him back to the Holby's but he knew their dog was in the garage and he continued with his panicing until I got back with the other kids. Brandon says at one point he was lying on the couch in the fetal position crying for mommy... I got him calmed down, but every time the door bell rang he thought it was a dog and would flip out again........ Rough night. The rest to the kids had a blast and loaded up on the goodies.....

Buzz, Mr. Firefighter and The Pirate

Buzz Striking a Pose

Everyone that saw Anderson kept saying "Hey Buzz" and he just couldn't get over the fact that everyone knew his name!


The Girls

I promise I will dress Aubree up next year in a costume. It's been a smocked Halloween dress for two years now. I need to get a little more creative.

Here's Grayson dressed in his Woody outfit on another day.. Didn't get any pics of him on Halloween

Brothers

On Halloween (yes, I'm a little behind on blogging) we took the kids to Clemson's Homecoming game. It was a big mud hole and started raining right before game time, but we were able to see the floats and watch a little of the game before heading home to Trick or Treat! I titled this post the reason I did because of the following pics........ They melt my heart! I love how much they love each other... (most of the time)!

And one of the fam minus Daddy! Too bad Aubree wasn't in the picture taking mood!

Heaven Got A Wonderful New Angel

My beloved grandmother, Maynor went to be with the Lord this morning. She was one week shy of her 96th birthday! She was such an amazing woman! I know that she is rejoicing in Heaven right now! I love you Maynor and will miss you SO very much!

I love this picture of her and Aubree last Christmas! Aubree is the youngest of her 7 great grands and I am the youngest of her four grands!
