Earthquakes and walking, O' My!

We experienced our first earthquake Saturday night.  It was the neatest (only because we had no damage:) feeling and the craziest experience I ever had.  I was laying in bed and Cody was checking his e-mail.  The bed started shaking and I just assumed Cody snuck in and was on the ground shaking the bed trying to scare me.  I lean over, he wasn't there and the night stand started shaking, then all the pictures on the wall were rattling and then a loud boom rumbling noise.  I just froze and took it all in.  In my mind I was thinking earthquake but I hadn't heard Cody yell or say anything so I was wondering if he even felt it and if he hadn't felt it I was going crazy.  It seemed like it lasted forever but it maybe lasted 30 sec?  It lasted long enough for me to conjure up 4 or 5 scenarios of what all the ruckus might be! So after it stops I jump off the bed and poke my head out of our bedroom door and look down the hall and can see the light on by the computer and I figured Cody was still checking his mail, didn't feel it and I was losing my mind.  So I walk down the hall and I see Cody standing in the kitchen with a shocked look on his face too and he asked if I felt that, ha!  Ummm, yeah I felt it!  Jones woke up, moaned and groaned for a few minutes and went back to sleep.  I guess he felt it too!

Little one will be walking probably before this week is over.  He is getting too big, too fast and I need him and time to slow down!  We have been so busy this week.  We have had hunters and that has kept Cody busy.  I have cleaned the lodge twice this week for hunters and guest to come stay. Since we have been busy little man has pretty much had to entertain himself during the day.  We work with him a lot at night and he is on the verge of taking off.  He takes about 4 or 5 steps and gets soooo excited he claps and just face plants. Then he gets up and does it again......

We love you so much lil' man!

Haloween 2011

We had a lot of fun this Halloween.  Jones made it special!  Me and lil'man came to Texas the weekend before and had a mini trick or treat with the family.  We had to show off our lil'stinker!  Uncle Ronnie hooked up the tractor and we took our first hayride.  It was a lot of fun and all the kids enjoyed it......and the grown ups too!

I made it back to OK in time for Cody to join in on all the fun too!

Jones had his first sucker and he was in LOVE!  He has had a ruff week teething and has had a sucker pretty much everyday this week.  That sucker gives him an hour of relief a day!  Bring on the suckers!!!  While I was in Texas my Aunt took me to a second-hand store that had walls and walls of baby stuff galore!  They had a whole isle of costumes and I had to pick him up one!  This was the cutest one they had and it was $2.50!  He was cute in both!

Jones is on the verge of walking!  A few more days and I know he will take off!
