Fun weekend in Oxford

The weather was pretty this past weekend so we decided to take a short weekend getaway to Oxford and take Will to an Ole Miss basketball and baseball game. We spent Friday night at the condo and had a great time.

Saturday morning we got up early and went to eat at Big Bad Breakfast and met Doug's parents there.

After breakfast we headed over to the Tad Pad since the Rebels were playing basketball against Florida at 11am. We all had tickets and Will enjoyed his first Ole Miss basketball game. Our seats were all the way at the top which gave us plenty of room with Will. He enjoyed watching the cheerleaders and the black bear. When Henderson hit a 3 pointer the crowd went wild and it was so funny because Will yelled and clapped too. He had a great time.

Will intently kept his eyes on the game while he ate his vanilla wafers and a hot dog. Unfortunately the Rebels lost 75-71 to Florida.

After the basketball game we walked over to Swayze field to watch a baseball game. We got season tickets this year so we are looking forward to many more baseball games. Our seats are right by the 3rd base side and Will had a blast!!! He met Rebel the Black bear, ate a tub of popcorn and had an overall great time. I see lots more baseball games in our future.

We ended a wonderful day in Oxford with a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, South Depot Taco Shop, before we headed back home.

Will's first haircut

Will had his first haircut this afternoon. I never thought this day would happen because his hair grows so slow. We have waited two years to get it cut and we decided to get him a little trim. His hair is not that long but needed a little shape up because it was beginning to curl under the ears. So we asked Mrs Sharon at Fairpark Salon to give Will a haircut and she so kindly did.

Thank goodness we had a fun plane to play in while Mrs Sharon cut his hair!

Will looks like a handsome little boy now who is growing WAY TOO fast for this momma.

Happy Valentines Day

On Valentines Day we landed in the pediatrician's office with Will at 7:45 am with an ear infection. Not fun! After getting medicine and Doug taking him home (I had to work), Will is much better and ended up having a good Valentines Day.

We ended up having a nice quiet take out dinner at home and enjoyed each other's company.

Will got a Mickey Mouse and a balloon and he was so happy. We ate cookies from Nana Karen and had a good time playing.

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. I'm thankful for my 2 Valentines that I LOVE more than anything in this world! Happy Valentines Day Doug and Will!!!!!!

Oh I forgot to mention that Will and I ended the night by taking funny selfies on the couch.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Party

We finally had Will's 2nd birthday party this past Saturday at the house. The theme was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because he is obsessed with Mickey Mouse. So I planned the party around Mickey Mouse from the invitations all the way to the food themes.

Will had a great time at his party and the weather was gorgeous later that day so we were able to get outside and enjoy the playground Nana Karen and Poppa Bill got him. Will also got lots of clothes and toys so he is set for a while.

Will woke up bright and early at 7am and ready for his party. He was also able to take a good nap before his party at 12noon so it all worked out well. He was partied out by the time he crashed and went to bed that night.
