Polls

So I've figured out we can post polls...so of course, I had to do that! The first is about a topic very close to our hearts - college football. The second is for the great city of Woodstock in which we reside. Apparently as this great metropolis expands, the city feels we need a new slogan - so please help us decide what to vote on.

Ok, now she's pressing buttons to get me to participate

Well, I didn't want to do this, but my football manhood is at stake. Wow, called out by my wife...it hurts, it really does. I'm not into this whole "blog" thing, but you attack my football, you attack me. Anyway, as you'll notice in the picture above who the true fan is, what is that just a grey shirt?! Truth be told I think someone is a bit of a Hawkeye fan, she's just afraid to admit it. I think she has forgotten about the magic of her first college football game:

.....Oh and did I mention that Florida cheats???

no love on this blog

I'm not sure how many folks out there are excited about the beginning of the 2007 College Football season, but I do know that my household is STOKED! I have included a schedule for the SEC on this post so we can all follow along this year; sorry to all you ACC & Big 10 fans - no love on this blog. I realize this last comment alienates a member of our household, but he can post the Big 10 schedule if he would like. He thinks the Big 10 is better - what a silly Midwesterner! :)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my cuz Margaret and Pattie! We couldn't be with them today, but we went out to celebrate anyway. We went to the Japenese Steakhouse with my parents and all had a great time. Hope these beautiful ladies had a great day! We love you guys!!

Campin' Out

Tatum decided he should 'camp out' in his room last night and I caught a few pics of him before he fell asleep. This kid is just too cute!

Fingers and Toes

Tatum was so cute in the bath tonight...he made sure he cleaned each and every fingernail and toenail. JUST PRECIOUS!

A Clean Room

This weekend we conquered the beast called "TATUM'S ROOM". It's been a while since his room was really cleaned up so it was an all weekend process! We were able to devote a little corner for him to do his art work. That's his favorite part! We also found these great toy boxes at Ikea that fit perfectly under his bed. I still need to label them, but so far they have worked well.

Here are pictures of Tatum in his 'art studio' before bed.


FYI - Tatum drew that picture of a boy with an 'X' to show a bad boy who doesn't clean up. Pretty funny, huh!?!

A is for ...

Tomorrow is show and tell at Pre-K and the kids are supposed to bring an item that starts with the letter A. Mike and I were stumped. We couldn't think of anything besides Apple and Mike said that was too boring. So Tatum out-smarted us both! He came up with Airplane. Thanks Aunt Morgan for the present!

It looks like....

Kids say the funniest stuff sometimes and this is a Tatum classic. Tonight we were playing the Surf's Up video game and at the beginning the picture below appears. Tatum got really excited and exclaimed "That girl looks like JESUS!"

Surf's Up

Mike bought the Surf's Up video game for Tatum. We have all had fun playing the game today and naturally, Tatum is definitely the funniest to watch.

What a Cutie!!

Michael took this picture this morning of Tatum in front of his school. He really loves his new Pre-K class and is enjoying it alot! His favorite part of the day is music time when they play a game that he calls Animal Action. This is where the song tells them to act like different animals. He showed us how to play last night. :)

Imagination Fun

Tonight, Tatum and I did something we've never done before - we played Duck, Duck, Goose and Hot Orange (the same concept as Hot Potato) with some new players - a blanket, a pillow and his bear, Stein. Needless to say, it was quite humorous! He is always so funny!

Pool Fun

Here are some more pics from this past weekend.

Pool Time

DeSoto Caverns - Aug 4

On Saturday, we went down to DeSoto Caverns with Mike's parents and sister, Morgan. We had a lot of fun and Tatum really enjoyed the cave. He is still talking about being in TOTAL DARKNESS. Although, we weren't in total darkness because we were all wearing glow in the dark braclets (that Tatum/I made). He was excited that his bracelet was glowing and announced it to everyone in the cave. After we experienced total darkness, there was a 'laser' light show. It was more like a bunch of red, blue and green light flashing with an audio track - I was expecting something similar to Stone Mountain's laser light show. Needless to say, it was slightly disappointing, but funny nonetheless. After we toured the cave, Tatum panned for gold, we all played putt-putt golf, and then battled boys against girls in 'the pirate nerf shooting game.

First Day of Pre-K

The time has finally come for Tatum to start Pre-K. He was very excited this morning and ready to go! Mike took some pictures before they left the house. I can't wait to hear about his first day!

It's been a while...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I know everyone has been waiting with baited breath for the next post. I went to San Francisco on Thursday and returned yesterday and will hopefully update the blog tomorrow with some pictures from my trip. Here is one just to wet your appetite.
