To RAWR or to CHOO-CHOO, that is the question!

So party city was a little disappointing. They did not have the dino suit that I really liked and I am really not going to blow a ton of money on something to have it shipped. Negative!

I wanted Tater Man to decided exactly what HE wanted to dress-up as for Halloween. Everytime I asked him the past few days it's always something different. He mostly landed on T-Rex, Train, Copter(Airplane), or Liden Muqeen(Lightening McQueen).

They DID NOT have Copter(Airplane), or Liden Muqeen(Lightening McQueen). So sad! I took him to the wall of pictures, that showed all the costumes, and said what would you like to be Tater Man. His eyes landed on the one thing he knows I hate. Sponge Bob Square Pants! I quickly diverted him by saying Square Pants won't fit! Crisis averted, he really could have cared less.

He finally spotted two costumes that were side by side, T-Rex and Wilson the train. It's as if they were calling to him because he got super excited. We tried them both on and he loved them both, but we only chose one.......which one? You will have to wait and see!



What does the T-Rex say Tater Man? RAWR!

I love the little tail!

I swear he is the cutest damn thing and he can really pull off green.

Wison the train. Who, by Tater Man's standards, is way cooler than Thomas the train. Hmph.

Had to practically sit on him so that I could take a picture. He wanted to choo-choo all over the damn store!

Flash Back Friday: Thevis Wedding

First of all please don't mind the date on the photos. It's wrong! A couple of our best friends got married October 10, 2008. I know that their anniversary is not until Monday but it's Flash Back Friday so I figured I would tell them Happy Anniversary early!

They were married such a short time before Tater Man was born thus why I look like Bullwinkle, the moose! This post is not about me or The Randolph’s for that matter. It's all about Auntie Sam-mee-mee and Untle Cwis.

I loved everything about their wedding simplicity and classy. There was no huge fluffy white dress and only very close friends and family. I really don't think that Sammy would have changed anything about this day because what was important to her was only to marry the man of her dreams.

Mr. Randolph and I both went to school with the groom and even though he thought he was too cool for us in school (joking), that is certainly not the case now. We are so glad that he found a woman that fulfills his every need and couldn't ask for a more loving spouse. I definitely have a lot to learn from her. Patience, is one thing!

I digress....This day was incredible, and now we anxiously wait for another set of our best friends to say their vows. It is so precious to be able to share this bond with them.

Mr. Randolph, Tater Man, and I wish Auntie Sam-mee-mee and Untle Cwis a Happy 3 year Anniversary and may you enjoy many, many more to come!

Mr Randolph, Sammy, Chris, Big Momma Randolph!

The future Lee's....I mean O'Neals

The groom, bride and her two besties, Emily and Maggie.

Aren't they just the sweetest! The monkey can't be explained but I believe he was the ring barer.

Love you Sammy and Chris!

 We went to Zeus' for a wonderful dinner/reception.

Can't you just tell I am ready to explode!

Even The Minky came and hit on Emily.

Mr. Randolph's Birthday Party

This past Saturday night our friends(family) all gathered to celebrate Mr. Randolph's birthday. I am so glad that we always celebrate every ones birthday. Its very important to surround yourself with friends and family for such occasions. Our friends always gather for some sort of dinner or party for every ones birthday. It's not the gifts but the companionship that you miss when you don't celebrate your birthday.

I do my best, and sometimes fail, at making sure each person in our lives know they have a place in our heart. You never know when God will need you so celebrate each birthday, anniversary, holiday to its fullest.

Anyways..... ;-)! The pictures depict all the events of the night. Enjoy!

 Our friends come in all shapes and sizes and we love them all.

His second wife! Wheazy takes better care of him anyways. She made his favorite meal, Chicken Alfredo, from scratch. How special is he!?

I loves my Nanny!

Cheese for Parrain!

We combined Mr. Randolph's birthday and CC's birthday. How special! Uncle Matthew loves his Princess CC so much and I do believe we will have to make it a tradition that they share a birthday party.

Future Mr. & Mrs. Kristopher O'Neal! Aren't they freaking adorable!?

 Claire decided that her birthday present to her brother would be a cake.in.the.face! He is never spicious of her doing bad things so she was able to sneak right in there. HILARIOUS! Well at least we thought so, and then he chased her with the cake. Yep, we are all adults!

I had a get some loving from a few of my girls. They were nice and toasted so they didn't fight the camera shots like the smart ones do....Mishy and Wheazy!

Loves my Mr. Thevis!

PS. See that nice little cut on my eye....yeah I fell...on the floor...with my face...while sitting!

Summer Vacation: Florida Entry 3

I know, I know, its taking me two whole months to finally wrap up this time in my life. There have been so many exciting things happening since that I just haven't thought to finish. It is a little slow at work right now so I will try and finish off my summer vacation entries.

Oh just in case you missed the first entry....or the second one ;-)!

Before we started our day Mr. Wilson decided Tater Man should wake from his nap early. It wasn't good for anyone!

All the ladies and babies headed to Bud and Alley's for some yummy fish tacos. I thought they were fabulous and inhaled mine, while others were a little picky. Coon-asses...they need a glob sprinkle of spice on their food!


I guess he was upset when I told him he could not have the Corona with lime!?

Love my raccoon eyes! Me, Kristen, Sarah.

Well I guess Nana did not get the memo about no alcohol for the Tater Man. He ended up drinking half of her Sangria before I realized that I did not order juice for him. I order WATER!

Notice the fork in his mouth. Yeah the alcohol must have kicked in. The picture of Nana below shows her and the evidence lol.

The sad part is with the last few days of our get-away my SIL Sarah and nephew Gecko had to go back to Colorado. Boo, right! Thankfully I had another beautiful nephew to love on and Mr. Randolph had finally made it to Florida with his brother. The only thing that made it better was that Mr. Randolph's dad, Sr. Randolph (hehe) showed up.

There was a lot of fun in the sun while the boys were there and then we had to grab a few family shots. I know you have seen these already but I love them so much. YOU WILL SEE THEM AGAIN! Loves!

Even with her camera acting up my sil was able to capture these great shots. Thanks!

Has to be my favorite shot of all time. Jack giving love and Tater Man wanting his space.

This is more like it, though. Aren't they beautiful!?

We all headed to Bud and Alley's again but for drinks and to watch the beautiful sunset. This had to best way to end one of my favorite vacations. 

One big, happy family!
