Ole bren and Old Saint Nick

Brendan just walked right up to the old man and climbed up. He was fascinated with Santa and all his ways. He had the hiccups so this picture is about as close as a smile as you're gonna get. Pretty good Santa down there at the old Park Place Mall. He does good work. His purple chair threw me off a little, but a solid beard and some excellent Santa moves gives him an 8.4 in Santa rating. Not too shabby.

Watching a little tube in his jammies

Having a little finger food. Get it? Hilarious.

File under C for cute.

Umm no DHR he is not in a filing cabinet drawer

Iron Bowl

Wins make Brendan happy. Somewhere there's a 5 year old Alabama fan who only knows defeat and that makes Joe happy.

Happy Birthday!

It's hard to believe, but Brendan turns 1 today. He's come a long way, as you can see.

More B Day

1. Jake and Weezy enjoying some party favors

2. Jake looking like he had a rough day at the office. He's got a black eye and looking for solace in a rib (shout-out to Murphy). Remember Jake the sweetest meat is closest to the bone, ask your PaPa

3. Worn down by the party

4. Brendan and Jessica in the middle of a vulgar display. Brendan's riding Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) from Cars if any of you are up on that movie

5. Tell me that isn't a sneaky partying machine

First Birthday Party!

Heck of a first birthday party here at the old Circle M Ranch. We had Elmo out the wazoo, pizza, ribs, double fisted corn for the birthday boy, and cake all up in the face. He got a bunch of toys, books, and clothes. More importantly he got the boxes all that stuff came in, which he likes the best. He also got a wagon that was crammed full of babies (with one front rider trying to eat the wagon). I think they were pushing the 250 pound limit on that thing, those boys are thick. And as you can see he properly mauled his cake as is baby tradition. His mother's OCD was put on a choke chain for about 10 minutes to complete the process. We were all real proud of her. There was about a million pictures taken so I will have to make several postings.

A difficult job

Ever try to get a baby to smile and a dog to sit still at the same time with a digital camera? Good old pumpkin knows how to get it done. Just after this picture Brendan ate all the leaves in the backyard for me. Better than raking.

Happy Halloween!

As you can see Brendan and the twins were all together for the big night. Trey was Elmo, Jake is the bee, and Brendan is the doctor. He appears to be a vet as he checks the bee's antennae and consults with Elmo about something.

Brendan's favorite politician

Any time Lucy Baxley's picture comes on the screen Brendan starts grinning real big and likes to slap her picture on the screen. So i may or may not have taped the commercial and then paused it for his viewing pleasure. She does look awfully smug in that shot, so I can't blame him. Just look at that tight, lipped smugification. No way she wins the election and I have no idea what her politics are. I'm basing my opinion on her face.
