First Christmas, Mommy's Bday and an Announcement!

We had a wonderful time in STL celebrating John Thomas' first Christmas!

As you can see, Santa easily found him at his Mimi and Poppy's house.

All of the fun was topped off with snow to make his first Christmas white!

Opening his stocking with Daddy

His new wagon from Santa.

Later in the day he actually took his first steps behind it!

Getting ready to open more gifts.

He really enjoyed walking his new dog.

Celebrating Mommy's 32nd and John Thomas' 9mos Birthday!

We are pleased to announce.....

John Thomas has another cousin on the way!!

Congrats Aunt Christie (Daddy's sister) and Uncle Derrick.

We can not wait to meet Baby DeWitt!!

First Christmas with the Cousins

We had a lot of fun getting together with Daddy's family at Aunt Amy and Uncle Chance's last night. Tomorrow we are headed to STL for Christmas with Mommy's family. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family! Nothing is better than celebrating the Holidays with your loved ones.

Getting some love from Aunt Christi

He loved opening his gifts!

Can't wait for more Christmas fun in STL!

Opening an early Christmas delivery

John Thomas loved opening one of his first Christmas deliveries from Mommy's aunt in Florida. At first we thought he was more in to the wrapping paper until he opened his new doggie Scout, that sings and says his name. It was so fun to get a preview of him celebrating Jesus's birthday.

Santa Baby!

While in STL John Thomas met Santa. He loved him!

Santa's beard was the best part.

John Thomas could not take his eyes off it.

Before Santa arrived the elves let John Thomas set in Santa's chair.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!

Playing with his buddies at school

Yesterday when I picked John Thomas up from school I found him playing with his twin friends, Zachery and Xaiver. The twins are only a few days older than John Thomas and are crawling. Looks like John Thomas was wanting to catch up to them :)

Go Thunder, Go!!

John Thomas had a great time at his first Thunder game with Daddy, Mommy, Nanny and PaPa. He really liked all of the noise and lights. To top off all of the fun the Thunder held out for the win!

Meeting the Thunder Girls!

Rest and Relaxation for Mommy and Daddy

This Thanksgiving Cody and I went to Paradise Island in the Bahamas. We stayed at Atlantis and loved every minute of it. We never left the island. We took this trip to celebrate our 5th Wedding Anniversary this year. It is amazing to look back over the last five years and think about all of the glorious things that God has blessed us with, most importantly an awesome marriage and child! God is so Good!!!

The view from our room

Just below our room balconoy was a shark tank/pool

Going through the underwater walkway

The waves were so beautiful, yet powerful!

John Thomas and his new girlfriend

This week our good friends welcomed their little angel in to the world, Parker!

Melissa and Adam are going to be great parents.

We are so excited for them!

First OU Basketball Game

We had a fun filled afternoon at the OU Basketball home opener! Great seats helped keep John Thomas' attention on the winning game (five rows from the floor). As you can see in our pic with Sooner, all of the action wore him out.

First Haircut

Tonight John Thomas got his first haircut! His hair was really getting long around his ears so off to the barber shop we went. He did extremely well except for the occasional wiggle. After his hair was cut John Thomas watched Daddy get his hair cut as well.

Happy Halloween!

After a week of being sick, John Thomas was thankfully well again in time to enjoy his first Halloween. He had a great time learning how to trick or treat from his cousins Raegan and Ian. As you can see, John Thomas was a precious puppy!! He seemed to really enjoy his costume and walking the block with his cousins. Daddy seemed to enjoy his loot :)

After trick or treating he had dinner with Nanny and Papa

All of the Halloween fun wore him out!
