State fan all the way.....

I am so proud of Jonah and the way he has been staying true to his Dawgs :)  Yesterday State played KY and this is how he went to school (do you really always expect me to get a perfect pic?)

And tomorrow Bama plays TN so he went to school like this....

I just want to point out that A. State did beat KY last night :) B. Even though Jonah's supporting BAMA today, check out what is in his left hand.  That's right. A cowbell.  A cowbell that he was ringing loud and proud all AM long.  I can see it in his proud eyes, he's definitely a bulldog at heart. Which is fine by me.  Bama has enough psycho fans.....State fan it is! 

Waffle house

I think Jonah could eat waffles every day. For any meal really.  Me too.  There is something about that unique shape that you can turn your pancake into that just makes it taste better.  We had a waffle weekend not to long ago - one AM with pumpkin waffles and the next with banana waffles.  Both were a hit.  I can't wait for Jeez to get to make his own:)

First tailgate!

Jeez had the opportunity to attend his very first tailgate party for the Bama/Arkansas game last weekend.  It was alot of fun! I did a ton of this......

Aunt Kate helped out and did a ton of this......

 
JO JO did alot of this......haha

 And all in all the first tailgate experience was pretty awesome.  Complete w/ milk, water, and chickpeas of course.....with a side of pumpkin beer for mommy.

Belated beach pics!

So...I'm already behind. No shocker there.  BUT, being the type that loves to write descriptive stories, it kills me just to post a few pics w/out a full "set the scene" make you feel like you are there w/ us in the moment type scenario, but I am thinking, judging from my lack of posts already, I may just have to do that once in a blue moon....so all of you 3 total readers out there, bear with me :)  The beach was an absolute blast and I hope to start making this a tradition.  Having said that, here are a few, or a ton, of pics:

What would you top your sandcastle with?  A ball was perfect for Jonah. Me...I'd probably choose a wine glass ;)

Team Jeffreys

I see a chuck.  We've got Jeez, that's all we need.

Sweetest beach boy

Let me FREEEE!

Ready for the Saints!

If the shoe fits.....

Make sure it actually fits.  OK so funny story.  Firstable, sorry about the blog slacking, only knowing that I am only disappointing myself, not all of my 2 readers.  And by the time Jonah ever even looks at this - if ever, he won't have the concept of the time spaced in between right? Exactly.  Back to the magic slipper.  So a couple of weeks ago Jonah's teacher called me at about 9:45 saying Jonah had NOT stopped crying since I left him.  She further explained (after I just knew it was b/c I had slammed his finger in the door when we got there and it was broken or something - see mom of the year already this particular AM) that it was his teeth. He was teething and his hands were in his mouth and he was just wanting to be held, etc. Asked if I could run some Motrin or something up there.  OK sure, no problem. Off I go to run in Rite Aid only to dash across town to enter into the saddest scene I have seen yet.  Jonah just sitting in the middle of the floor sobbing his eyes out. My heart just ached.  As soon as he saw me he threw his arms up and I scooped him up. He just put his head on my shoulder and immediately stopped crying.  I didn't know what was wrong.  Sweet thing never acted like this.  How many of you actually think I shot him up with some Motrin and went on my merry way back to work? Exactly..........So now you see my adorable new co-worker I have here who made himself quite at home.  It was still mind-blowing to me just how much he wanted to be held.  Not that Jonah isn't one for any love, but not the middle-of-the-day kind of snuggles.  Ain't nobody got time for that in his little go go go world.  Crazy thing is he was crawling around when he finally was "well" enough to go.  He crawled right into my boss' office where he found some balls (now we should be good right?) Anyways he plays a bit then comes back to me wanting to be snuggled some more and finally my parents came and picked him up so our office could get some work done.  He was smiling and of course confusing everyone.  Long story short......Grammy figured out after walking funny, that it was his shoe.  Yep - either his toes were curled funny, or it was rubbing funny, but he was NOT Happy in that shoe that seemed to fit.  Amy even later stated that after he crawled (should have been first clue) that he untied his shoe in her office, ha, poor thing was TRYING to tell someone! Anyways, he was perfectly fine and had a great rest of the day off :)  Wonder if he was faking? B/c you know what? That shoe totally does fit ;)  Not gonna lie, wish I could work like this everyday, at least for an hour right? 

 

You know what is awesome?

ANYTHING at the beach.  I mean some things are pretty awesome....like pumpkin anything, but like this for instance?

First pumpkin pie bagel of the year - even better at the beach, obviously with that view right? And the pumpkin beer buffet?  Exactly.  6 days and 7 nights of pure awesomeness. With my family on top of everything, pure bliss.  Jonah has also realized that sand, like bark at the park, is an all you can eat dealio out here.  He is also in a state of upset tummy, I mean bliss.   I have a ton of pics/posts to rub in that we are at the beach and 95% of the population is not, so I will just lead in with a few and update some more later......wouldn't want to totally throw margarita salt in the wounds all at once.  Speaking of....

What else do you do when it's raining at the beach?
