All about Easton

Easton is getting so big. He started really getting around lately. He follows me around the house now. I leave him in one room and turn around and he is right behind me. He is also a little escape artist. As you can see below, he can not be in the swing without the tray now. (Don't worry he is strapped). He leans over the side of the swing and tries to reach for toys.

He is also teething and loves his biter biscuits. Those are so messy, but the poor guy loves them so much I can not resist giving them to him. He has one tooth poked through, but I can't seem to capture it on film.

Now that he is getting around, he is into EVERYTHING!! I pick up his toys and the next second they are sprawled all over the living room again. And the movie cabinet, well that used to be very organized. After about the fifth time of trying to put the movies back in the right box and stacking them nicely, I decided it was a bit like shoveling a sidewalk while it was still snowing. So for now, I will resolve myself to being okay that the movie cabinet is a wreck.

Weekend at the Hunting Cabin

We had a great Friday night camping out at the Johnson place. Jason and Taylor set up a trot line on Friday night and we checked it on Saturday morning and there were 3 catfish on the line. Our family pic only has two because when I was pulling up the stringer one got off. Not sure how, but I promise it isn't a story about the one that got away. It was about the same size as the other two in the picture.

On Saturday, Jason and Papaw worked on the hunting cabin. It is actually a 48 foot steel container that we are converting to a hunting cabin. They got one bedroom wall framed up and the bathroom framed up. I think it is going to turn out nice. We are excited for the next hunting season. Here are a few pics from the weekend......

Latest Hair Fashion: Paper Towel Rolls?

Most people have heard about Taylor's hair cutting strike. So her hair is really long right now. Unfortunately, she has my hair and it won't hold curl very well. To make my life easier I have been pulling it up into a pony tail most days. Recently, I have been putting it in pig tails. Yesterday, Taylor stood up on her stool and said, paper towel rolls please. I did not get it, but she made it very obvious that she did not want a pony tail. Then she pulled out two clips and said, paper towel rolls please. I asked her if she meant pig tails and she said yes that is what I said. Some days I wish I had a tape recorder....

Our Splurge

I have mentioned that our debt snowball was on a steady roll in an earlier post, which it still is, just we took a little detour. Not a big one, but Dave Ramsey would probably be disappointed. Maybe not, we did have the cash on hand and decided to celebrate because we paid off one of my student loans. YEAH!!! So, our splurge was a camper. We bought it off of craig's list and have already enjoyed one family outing over Easter.

The camper is pretty cool, because it has three fold out beds that make you feel like you are in a tent, but you have all of the amenities of being in a camper. We will also probably be spending some time in it this spring while we build a hunting cabin. I will save that story for another post.
