I'm Coach Nutt...

This morning I could hear Barrett in the playroom saying "I'm Coach Nutt!" I came around the corner and found him like this...And just when I thought he wasn't paying a bit of attention at the football games!!!

Sandy's Farm...

Justin works with a contractor, Sandy, who has a farm...you might could even call it a zoo. He was kind enough to let us bring the boys out to see the animals recently. He has quite the collection...

We saw zebras (yes, zebras - in North Mississippi)...
A cockatoo that said hello a lot and was very showy with his feathers... and bunny rabits...
Then we hopped on the Gators to ride to the barn...That is Sandy with Cousar, and, yes, he let Cousar drive to the barn. Justin and I rode behind with Barrett...Let's just say Cousar needs a lot more practice! He tended to overcorrect just a little...
Barrett saw Cousar drive and insisted on getting in on the action...
When we arrived to the barn there were lots of horses...so this is Barrett spent most - make that ALL - of the time on mine or Justin's hip...
Two of the horses...
Another horse that is allowed to roam the pastures. She is the oldet of their horses and was not afraid to get close...
More horses...
My favorite animal was the wallaby...they are tiny and so friendly. This is the mama...
And this is the baby. They literally carry the baby around in a purse to mimic being in a pouch. Cousar was more than eager to pet the wallaby...Barrett, on the other hand...
preferred being as far away as possible!

Halloween 2010...

October 31, 2010
The orginal plan for this Halloween was for Barrett to be Woody and Cousar to be Buzz Light Year. However, just in case of an emergency, I purchased two costumes for Barrett. I knew if I didn't the possibility of a major meltdown on Halloween would be probable. Thank goodness I trusted my instincts because you can see who he decided to dress as. He has to do everything just like Cousar!

St. Peter's Pumpkin Patch...

This morning the boys and I met Sweets at St. Peter's Pumpkin Patch to pick out pumpkins and take pictures. It was a beautiful day. However, the church was also having the blessing of the animals. And everyone that knows Barrett well knows that this was not a good thing for him. (He is scared to death of anything that moves...) Luckily the animals were not there very long but he kept his eye out the entire time...

We had to get this picture. It is the closest I've ever seen Barrett come to an animal. The dog was very tiny. So maybe there is hope. Cousar loves animals so the trip was double fun for him...
Still watching for dogs...

Jacksonville State...

For the last 9 months the entire family (well, at least me) has looked forward to the first football game of the season. All 4 of us attended and the boys not only lasted the entire 4 quarters...they also made it thru both overtimes! Finally, I have some ball game buddies!!!

Barrett covered in cotton candy...
Cousar taking a bite... Their faces after at the conclusion of the 4th quarter...We were all in shock, and Barrett was so stressed we had to pull out his papi...
Disappointment at the end of the game. The Rebels lost in 2 overtimes...
No worries...they recovered quickly when we returned to the tent.

New school year...

The boys started a new school year at First Baptist on August 2nd. This year Barrett is in the two year old room with Ms. Brittany and Ms. Laura. Cousar is in the three year old room with Ms. Sharon and Ms. Whitney.

Barrett...
He warmed up to his new room right away and quickly found a toy... Cousar standing outside his new cubby...
And I promise I did not stage this picture...the ladies of Cousar's room greeted him right away...
