First haircut!!!

Miss Sunshine gave Oliver his first haircut! Actually we all got our hair cut tonight. It was a lovely family event!

Dad's 50th and Jason's 30th Birthday!!

Since Jason and my Dad each had a big birthday this year, we threw them a joint birthday party!

Since most of the family was down over Christmas, we had the party on that Saturday, December 26th.

We all had fun playing with Jeffrey's pool table and Rock Band and our Wii.

Everyone had a great time!!

Having a fun time eating cake!

Blowing on balloons!

Rock Band!

Opening presents!

Christmas Day!

We all had a great day at Grandma and Grandpa Garrett's house! Oliver just loves to play with his cousin Evan!

Here are some more pictures!

With Daddy opening up presents!

More Presents!

Another family shot...one with Oliver's kooky smile!

Christmas Eve

Oliver had a wonderful time on Christmas Eve! He was having so much fun with each and every toy! So much so, that he cried when we tried to take them away from him to take them out of the box!

A picture's worth 1000 words, so here are a few!

OLIVER WALKED!

Jason and I were playing with Odie on the floor and he simply let go of the couch and started walking over to us!

He's been walking on and off more and more every day!

Oliver excited AND scared of the vacuum cleaner!

Oliver couldn't decide if he loved, or hated, the vacuum cleaner last night...too funny.

A busy few weeks...

The last time I posted, we were on our way down to the Honeysett's for a wonderful weeklong vacation...except...as I'm sure most of you know, was "postponed" when Jason fell off their roof shortly after we arrived. Jason left the hospital a little less than 36 hours later with a fractured wrist, nose and orbital sockets and a concussion. We are all thankful that is the worst that he got and are having a wonderful time ragging on him about it...

about an hour after it happened...

Other than that little hiccup...we all had a great time! AND... I've got the pictures to prove it! (as always!)

Oliver's first "family" bath with cousin Evan!

Newspaper Fun!

My first slide!

The girls going out for Twilight and midnight shopping...

Keepin' Busy!

The Garrett Family has managed to keep pretty busy since Oliver's big party!

Before we knew it, we're on the road towards Saundra, Adam and Evan's house! Who would have thought I would be able to update my blog from a tiny netbook while Odie watches Cars and Jason drives? We are entirely too spoiled!

I have taken a few pictures in the last few weeks, so I thought I'd add them here!

I love chuck! (and my new shoes!-Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Feazel!)

Dragging Mom's work bag across the floor...

Getting into my old car seat is fun....it only took me 30 minutes to figure out how to get out....and the game begins...over and over and over....

First MSU Football Game!

We all had a great time!

He made it through the first half without getting fussy, but we knew he was at his limit, so we left!

He somehow slept through part of the game...not sure how though!

Odie's 1 Year Appointment!

Oliver is doing well....he weighs 21lbs and is 29.25 inches long. He's only in the 26th percentile for weight and height, but we're working on that :)

He hasn't been drinking enough milk, so Jason and I have been following him around with the sippy cup so he drinks all day now...lol.

Odie's Real Birthday, Tuesday, November 3rd

We let him eat some more cake for his real birthday...unfortunately it had orange frosting on it...but, no worries, Trudy managed to lunge across the room from the couch and clean the tray off while Odie was getting a bath...

She thinks my tractor's sexy! ha ha ha

Odie's First Birthday!!!

Well, needless to say, Odie had a wonderful first birthday bash! Aunt Saundra showed up and surprised us all!

Oliver loves all of his gifts, and had a great time eating his cake! He even slimed his Mom a little!

I think I'm going to invent an easier way to package toys though...it took Jason and I rest of the night to get all his toys out of the boxes!

Here are some pictures of Odie's Big Day!!!

Lexi and Beckham playing in Odie's new playroom!

Odie just loves balloons!!

Playing in his playroom with his new toys!

Halloween!

Even though we were ramping up for Odie's party, we managed to sneak in a few hours to go over to Uncle Jeff and Aunt Julie's for Odie's first Halloween bash! They had 2 trick or treaters, but we were prepared with lots of candy ;)

Odie got to open a few birthday presents from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Julie and from Great Grandma and Grandpa Young...

Unfortunately, he was more interested in the dog presents...you know...you can only try so hard to keep dog toys out of his mouth, and then you give up...

The girls all had a great time...Agnes and Olive were very proud of their glow-in-the-dark PJ's...they kept trying to get someone to take them into the closet so they could glow :)
