Our Cozy Thanksgiving Day!

We had a fun Thanksgiving... it was really low stress, amazingly enough. I even had some down time when Cayson was napping to sit and read a few pages in my book! Yipee! I don't get to do that on a normal day.

Dusty is ever so sweet to clean the turkey and pull out the yucky stuff for me....

See me? I was trying to help... holding out the pan for the neck. We're a team. :)

I had a very willing tester in the kitchen.

He's definitely my boy- he LOVED the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! I love to watch it every year and always dream of being there to watch in person... one of these days...

The cooked monster turkey

My dad came down to help move the hot turkey to a different pan so I could make gravy. Like the gloves?

The project was a little tougher than I thought

Time to eat!

Cayson convinced Great-Grandpa to read him books...

...and sneak him pie.

I think this is his, "Who me?" look

Dad, Mom, Dusty, Cayson, and I took a walk to work off some of the meal... we ended up at a park so we let Cayson play.

We all had a wonderful day remember our blessings.

Homecoming Videos

Born, Bred and Bleed Bulldog Blue Part II

Here are a few pictures from the football game!

Born, Bred and Bleed Bulldog Blue!

Cayson thoroughly enjoyed the homecoming parade on Saturday. The theme was Born, Bred and Bleed Bulldog Blue... made for some interesting float designs.

I still need to sort through the pictures from the football game.... I'll post those later. I also have a couple of cute videos to share. I also uploaded most of the pics from the parade to Flickr.

Zoo Fun

We've had a busy, busy few days! I'm in recovery and get our house in order-mode, so I've slowly been going through the pics from this weekend. We did Fan Jam Thursday night ( a big basketball pep rally for the university), Friday was the zoo, Saturday was the homecoming parade and football game, Sunday was church & G-ma's birthday party.

My parents & I took Cayson to the zoo on Friday. He really, really enjoyed feeding the ducks, geese, and the catfish. Anyway, it was fun and a lot of walking! We did spend the afternoon shopping and of course I really, really enjoyed that part! :)

Dad nearly got us kicked out of the zoo.... he decided to share his Cheez-Its with this elk... I did get some good pics of the elk... it was right next to us begging for more. I told Mom to walk off and pretend we didn't know Dad- that way when he was escorted out, we could stay. Ha ha!

Trunk or Treat

We took Cayson to Trunk or Treat at our church tonight. It was my first experience to go to a Trunk or Treat and I must say that it was a blast! Cayson was a little OU football player and he loved doing the touchdown sign for all to oogle over.

Here the boy is in his "costume" and his "OU Playbook" aka goody bag.

Touchdown!

Cayson and Daddy

Sitting in the fire truck... he loved the police car and fire truck. He has great sound effects for police cars & fire trucks that he showed off.

Cayson and Lindey - he LOVES her!

Huh?

Running awayRylan & Cayson

We took Cayson out to see my grandparents afterwards. They love to see kids dressed up for Halloween and since we are going to the zoo on Halloween, we took Cayson out to visit. Grandma & Grandpa loved it!
