Turkey time!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is here...the months are flying by. We are excited for the upcoming holidays with Drake's first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then first bday! Wow, how time flies when you are having fun! Drake is doing great! He is crawling backwards still but sooo close to full out crawling forward. He still gets around by crawling backwards then pushing him self up into sitting position. He is reaching and wanting to pull up on everything. He is making daddy a nervous wreck! He started talking a lot this past week and officially says 'mama' every since Friday! It is the cutest thing. I don't think he associates it with me yet but it is still cute to hear him say it.

We went to get him a big boy carseat tonight cause he has outgrown his baby carrier carseat.....and on the way home we were in some traffic of course on 820, so I exited off the highway and was trying to get over into the turn lane but of course the other people on service road were not yielding to us coming off of highway so I couldn't get all the way over into the turn lane. Well some cars were going around me to keep going straight on service road and then we heard BAAM! Yep, some idiot sped by and hit my tail light and broke the glass then just cut across other cars to turn right and was gone before we could get the license plate number. Bo thought he got it but the police met us at a nearby gas station and said that the license number Bo told them brought up a van and it wasn't a van, it was a sports car. So that is a bummer that we did not get the rude person. I can't believe some people are so mean to not stop.....so now I have to call insurance figure out how much it is going to cost, etc, etc, just one more thing for me to add to my list, and it is not something I want to be dealing with over my Thanksgiving break!! ugh! It is frustrating.

But luckily Bo said the glass from my tail light should be easier to fix then the actual body part of my car....we shall see I guess. I will let you know the turnout.

We want to wish everyone a great Thanksgiving. We do have a lot to be thankful for with such a wonderful family and friends!

Can't believe it is November

I can't believe it is already November!! I am ready for some fall weather, hopefully this cooler weather is here to stay. We are doing good. Last night was Bo's last football game...they didn't make it to playoffs. Drake and I are happy cause that means more time with daddy!! He will be home on the weekends and after school so that will be nice, it is hard being a somewhat "single mom" during football season. Bo doesn't like it when I say that but I sure felt that way sometimes :).

Drake is still playing with his voice....and really close to crawling. He goes from sitting to tummy and will get on hands and knees but he goes backwards not forwards, then he pushes himself back up into sitting position or he will just roll around. Mrs. Donna (his babysitter) thinks he will be crawling within a week...I will keep you posted. He has his two bottom middle teeth and we think his top teeth might be coming in soon. He is a drool monster!!

So things are pretty much the same around here. I am looking forward to my birthday coming (only because I get to eat at Cheesecake Factory, not cause I will be 27 :( yikes!) and Thanksgiving. Hope everyone is doing well.

We love you all!
