Brave Soul or Just Plain Nuts

Aaron and Brian had to get very creative with putting the lights up over the garage- Brian (who hates heights) was Brave and Aaron I will say is the one who's nuts- But the lights sure do look pretty!

Yum Yum Turkey

So this is our second year at frying turkeys- we are hooked! It was such a nice day and I enjoyed all the food and friends and family- Banana cream pie and turkey cookies (which are now tradition)

Aaron did such a great job at the fryer and I did good at not throwing up at touching the turkey (the pic below is my "eww yuck" face as the wing snapped off)

Happy Birthday Jaron

Jaron Christopher Cotton

Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You......

My baby is 5 yrs. old. How time goes by so fast. 

I loved going through these pictures and remembering what a little stinker he was! But he was, and is still always smiling. Jaron has the most tender heart. He has always been very aware of others' feeling, and is ready to comfort those in need. He has from day one been very aware of me and knows when I need a hug or a helping hand. 

Jaron Loves his daddy. The moment Aaron walks through the door he is by his side until he falls asleep at night. Jaron is a great baseball player and bowl's a 200 on the Wii, we still can't figure out how he does that!

I love you Jaron with all my heart and love watching you grow every day. And you are, in fact you've grown 2 1/2 inches since September!

Your a good boy Jaron. So glad you came to me!

These are only like half of the pics I wanted to put up of him and his messes- oh what a busy boy

Aways ate the cat food- yuck

Loved pulling all your clothes out

why just have one?

used the dishwasher to climb up the counter and into the sink

Permanent marker- yep, nice

oh my goodness- I don't know what you were doing!

played until you crashed

"get out of the fridge Jaron"

You didn't want to be left out

Corn starch- ummm, yeah

You loved it when I pulled you around in the laundry basket!

Eating the side of he trampoline- you just always had to have something in your mouth

Mel needed company

oh the rolls of toilet paper lost to the hallways

I love you!

Jackson strikes again

I was in the kitchen and I hear the kids say "Ugh, Mom? You might want to come in here and see what Jackson is doing." So of course I grab my camera first.

He Climbed up on the Piano, Thinks he is so big.

BTW I am getting ready to paint this room! 

I did it- much better

Too much Candy

I love our neighborhood- Such a great safe place to trick or treat. 

The kids had way more candy than shuld be allowed, good thing we all go to the dentist Friday!
