Wordless Wednesday

Go Fish

So I got this cool puzzle at Christmas that has a magnet on a tow truck to pick up the cars and trucks on the puzzle (wicked awesome, right!). Well I decided to see if it would cut out some time for me digging cereal out of a cup...I went Fishing!

Sadly, it didn't work so I had to use my hands anyway, but it's the thought :)

So Grumps, you can put a fishing rod on the list of things you can get me on my Birthday {'cause I'll be old then}, you know right under the FOUR WHEELER! hehe

Happy Tuesday and 4 days til Santa!

Monday Musings from me!

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY"

ready for a weekend recap?! Okay sit back, grab your coffee, milk, mt. dew, etc... and here we go

Saturday afternoon started with a PARTY! We headed to Clayton to celebrate Conner's first birthday and it was FUN! Everyone came and he opened presents, ate cake and had a grand time! Thanks again for having an awesome party cuz and sorry about the nap thing. One of these years we will not need a nap and thus the crankiness disappears {right?!}

Conner had a outfit change mid way... and then it was CAKE time. He tried to give my mommy some. Isn't he SWEET?!

Then I went to Gigi & Grumps' house while Mommy & Daddy had another party. Sunday started a tour of eastern NC with a lunch stop to Fountain for my great grandparents Christmas. I scored big with some awesome puzzles (Thanks Aunt Julie!) and a coloring set from Great Grandma & Granddaddy. Dinner was followed in Wilson for Great Grandma Hare. I got a Handy Manny book there. So it's official ~ CHRISTMAS ROCKS!

... and then....

I WAS DONE! :-)

Shew, I am tired. Only 5 more days until the big guy in the red suit comes down my chimney. He better not mess with MY new tv ;-) Hope you all have a great day.

Happy 1st Birthday Conner!

Happy First Birthday to my favorite cousin! You've had one heck of a year little dude. Try to stay out of the doctor's next year, k?! ;) Your mommy & daddy will appreciate it! Can you believe just this time last year you were just born and I spent the night in the hospital. You are that cool! We have had lots of fun while you were getting bigger :) I can't wait until we are both running around and having sleepovers, and doing big boy stuff like tracking in dirt, playing with cars and just having FUN!

I hope you have a GREAT time smashing the cake but don't forget to share, okay?! Have a super duper birthday buddy!!!

WE Love you!

under construction

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates lately, we have been under construction at casa de crocker. there are walls coming down and new ones going up and Santa visited Daddy a little early this year and a new TV will be going up above the mantle soon too! Lots to do BEFORE Christmas!

I will be sure to post some after pictures as soon as it is finished but right now we are living upstairs and trying to get away from the mess until the drywall is up and painting is done!

So until then, I'll leave you with a little of me

12 more days until Christmas!

Love,

HDC

Happy Birthday UNCLE JARE

Happy

Birthday Uncle
Jare - Jare

I hope you have a very Happy 14th Birthday! I'm sorry I can't be there to celebrate, but you see it's past my bedtime but I will come see you soon. Hope you like your gift (I helped pick it out, 'cause you know how we roll...) Mommy & Daddy can't believe you are 14 already, they also said they will be sure to remind people when to get off the road {one more year folks! hehe}.

I am glad you are my buddy and Uncle :-) & just so you know when I'm in trouble I get called Jarrett (hehe) so thanks for getting me off the hook even when you aren't around!

Love you!

your favorite buddy

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Happy Monday!

rockin the crocs!

I got these Crocs even before I was born. Auntie Ber & Unky Monkey gave them to my mommy with a baby gift and I have been waiting to fit into them. I even had to wear FAKE Crocs this past summer because REAL Crocs only come is certain sizes for us little people. So this morning I wanted to try them on again and wah-la, I grew enough to finally wear them, with my diapey and shirt of course. ;-) and yes I DID wear them to school, 'cause that's how I roll (or I'm alot stubborn) whichever. I had to take my tennis shoes though since I can't run outside in the Crocs quite yet, but Mommy left that fun for my teachers to deal with. Silly Mommy!

Well peeps, hope you have a good day!!

Deck the halls and fa la la la la

Holy December Batman! Today is the last month of 2009 and Uncle Day-Day's BIRTHDAY!!! Woo hoo....let's just say he's not a spring chicken anymore ;-) THANKFULLY all the turkeys have been eaten and it's time for Christmas music, lights and presents. After forty-seven five Thanksgivings we are so Thankful that November is over!

Also, I went out on Black Friday! Well Daddy took me to Best Buy (wicked awesome) and Mommy went with Ms. Jody to shop at 6am {me thinks she just wanted Starbucks} and finished up some Christmas gifts. Now it's time to wrap and decorate!




Oh and this past Saturday....28-27....what was that you ask? Oh just the score of the NCSU Wolfpack v. carowhina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stayed with Gigi and Grumps and watched the game on tv while Mommy & Daddy were there to cheer on our beloved Wolfpack! Oh yeah!

So now I am gearing up for the 8,000 holiday parties. Uncle Jare's birthday, Conner's 1st Birthday and then Santie Clause! Check back often because it'll be a whirlwind at the Casa de Crocker's.

Merry December Everyone!
