Joe's Birthday Card For Me...

While deep in a dream early this morning, I felt a poking at my side. Then a little voice, "Mama, Mama, Mama." I opened my eyes to find Joe at 6:01am. "Hey Mama, I have an early birthday present for you, but you'll need a light to see it." I picked up my cell phone and shined the light to see a card he had made me... SO cute! 

The Front... with a "..." in place of the "Y" in Birthday.

There's that "Y!" <3 (Not really sure what the rest is, but there's something about a Mansion and Gravity Falls...which is a show he's into right now)

The Inside.

The inside says, "Happy Birth Day. from Joe to Mama. I wish you a happy birth day from north and south Amarica from all the world and my <3." 

HOW CUTE IS THAT!?!?! :) It's Thankgiving time, so he's been learning more about how America was formed etc etc... He brought his learning all the way into my card. I LOVE it!

A little while later, when I was actually up, he said, "I probably should have waited to give that to you until tomorrow." I said, "That's ok, I have a hard time holding on to gifts when I have them too... I just want to give them to the person." He says, "Well, your birthday IS tomorrow anyway." lol He's my boys!

His First Mole

You know you are a mom of a country boy when he walks in excited to tell you,"I caught my first mole!"

UPDATE: I got a txt from my dad telling me: "Matthew brought the mole in here and showed it to me and had me pet it. He said Chocolate and him found it. I told him to put it way out in the field so it would be safe and he said he couldn't because it was Chocolate's dinner." 

Ha ha ha... My hilarious boy.

Halloween Fun

It's that time of year again... when the boys want to get dressed up crazy and do their best to accumulate the most candy... Here are some photos from our day... They started dressed up at school... Then, we met up with the Danners, Lilli's boyfriend Jake, Uncle Ricky and Grandma & Pop to walk around a really pretty neighborhood in Sonoma.
