Curt Update

So my nephew Curt is almost 4 months old now! He is getting so big and his personality is growing as well. I am so happy that the holidays are getting closer and I will get to spend some time with him! I am sure I will have plenty of pictures after the holidays but until then here are a few from the past month or so….

Curt is ready for Christmas and to watch the Tide win the National Championship game!

He likes to look at you! 

And he will smile for you!

He loves his bottles and his Aunt Katie!

  He will make cute faces for you…

and he will make a serious face for you too!

More of this cutie later!!

HELLO Christmas!

Each year when I drive home from Tuscaloosa to Hamilton, I get the pleasure of driving by some true Christmas lovers on Highway 107. This year I slowed down as I got close to the Fayette/Marion county line and videoed what we now call the “Hello Christmas” house. You literally turn a corner and there it is, with all its tackiness. So for your viewing pleasure here is “Hello Christmas”. (It's not that long of a video but you will get the gist of it!)

For Lindsey!

Lindsey, I did it. I didn’t want too but after buying everything for the Christmas tree this weekend, I couldn’t help myself….it just happened! :) So this blog is for you! Considering I called you out about your Christmas tree, I thought I would have to call myself out as well!!

I went for a red and (almost lime) green! This is the first time I have put a tree up in since 2004! Oh and thanks mom for the bow!! You like the green I added??

I know this is not a good picture but I wanted to show the red lights I used! SO PRETTY!

Loving on the “Cutest Thing Ever”!!

Cute little man!

These pictures were taken when Curt was 5 weeks old but I just now got a copy emailed to me! Curt, Carrie Beth, and Lee came to Tuscaloosa for the Arkansas game and before we left to go tailgating, I was holding him and mom snapped these pictures!!

Too stinking CUTE!!

Fall Fun!

I know it has been awhile but with work, school, teaching, football, and a new nephew blogging has been put on the back burner for a few weeks. However I will attempt to catch everyone up in one blog! Here goes:

Baby Curt went from 2 weeks….…to 7 weeks……

…..to 8 weeks!! And he is still growing! TOO CUTE!

Also football season started good and is still going strong! National Championship here we come!

The new parents got to enjoy a game and thankfully it did stop raining before we made it to the stadium!  Thanks Mom and Dad for babysitting!!

Lee making crazy faces pre-game…..

    

What a great sight to see! ROLL TIDE!

  My birthday came and went (and I didn’t die of old age)! Yes, that is a button that Julie got me for my birthday. Of course it states that “Aubs eat boogers” and we all know that is true!

And it has rained, A LOT! Here are a couple of shots of some nasty weather coming my way as I left work.
 

And here is what I found when I got home after the storm came through!   So this is my summary of the past few weeks! My parents are coming down this weekend and I am taking Dad to the Tennessee game so I am sure there will be more pictures to post soon!

Don't be jealous...

Don't be jealous of the "A" in my front yard!(If you look closely at the bottom picture you might see another one)

ROLL TIDE!!!

Doggie Prozac??

This weekend went really well!! Alabama won their first game and I got to see baby Curt. HOWEVER, When I got home Saturday night this is what I found!!!

  Does my dog hate me when I leave her? Why did she act out this time and never before? Gracie has bit at the molding before but NEVER this bad. She actually ate into the wood! So I have to ponder the question, is there such a thing as doggie Prozac?? If so, I need some. She was never like this till after the break-in back in April. I have been laughed at by people when I say Gracie has separation anxiety but now I think I have proof. And on this day I was with her ALL DAY till 4:30 pm. It’s not like she got ignored or something. I stayed at home till 4:30, then went to watch the game with friends. When I came home at 11:30 the damage was done. Yes, I will be spraying the area with something bitter, but I need more than that I am afraid!!

But never fear! Regardless how frustrated I got at Gracie for acting out this little man made it all better!

Isn’t he cute in his new swing all wrapped up!?!

Baby Curt!

My nephew, Curtis Michael Cashion, made his grand (and fast) arrival on Friday, August 21st. He was 9 pounds and 7 ounces, 22.5 inches long!! He is a big boy for sure. Although he was 2 weeks early he was very, very ready to come out! Around 7:35ish Carrie Beth and Lee went to the hospital. They called to let us know they were on there way there but didn’t want us to head that way until they knew what was going on. Well at 8:13, I got another call from Lee (after they saw the nurse) and he said it is happening NOW! Then at 8:57 pm, little Curt was born!! Carrie Beth had no plans of having a natural childbirth, but Curt had another idea!  When they got to the hospital she was already 10 cm! By the time I got there at 9:45, the nurses were filling out her “pre-admin” forms….kinda backwards! LOL! Carrie Beth officially became my hero that night!! I mean, come on, a 9 pound baby NATURALLY!!!

Nevertheless, both mom and baby (and dad) are doing great. They got to go home Monday morning and Curt got to meet his brother “Buddy Fat Pants” on Wednesday. I will be going to Pelham on Saturday and will get more pictures. Until then, here are a few pictures from Curt’s hospital stay.

Me and baby Curt!!

First time grandparents!!!

Test Post!

I am testing to see how this works using word…..

When Roommates Reunite!

Friday night my former roomies, Julie, came into town and stayed with me for the evening. I even think she really enjoyed getting to sleep in her old room!! Nevertheless here are some pictures of what can happen when roommates reunite!

 

A Wedding in Connecticut

This past weekend I went to Connecticut to attend my 3rd cousin Hillary’s wedding! Although my visit was very quick, I had a great time! Here are a few pictures from the trip!

Mom and cousin Lauren (who is showing us her belly), She is way to cute for words but boy can she cut you a stare!!

Me and Mom found a new calling in life! These are the bouquets for the bride and her maids!

This is the “Boathouse” where the reception was held!
