lights.































last night we went to our town square. we have one of the most beautiful courthouses. and there are a ton of lights up. on the courthouse itself, and hanging in trees, etc.

when we got out of the car, and pratt saw everything for the first time...close up. he sort of gasped and then let out this little squeal of delight. it was so cute. he loved it!

they were giving horse and buggy rides last night, but we arrived too late for that. we did see santa. but from afar. mrs. clause was there last night too, but i doubt she would have been much help to little pratt. wife or not, santa is pretty freaky.

pratt got to pet his first pony. well, i think they were ponies. clint kept referring to them as "saline county reindeer". which was funny to me. but not really to the girl in charge of the animals. she didn't really get it.

after seeing all the lights we walked across the street to our church. where they have the baby jesus and the manger scene. there was a plaque in front of it. with local churches and individuals listed as being a part of the group who puts it on display every year.

it was late when we left. pratt wanted to walk everywhere and it just got too cold. this is the result of cold, being tired and not being allowed to get down from his daddy's arms.



we ended the night by going by starbucks. caramel apple spice. yummy.

I love how in the last picture you're so excited, pratt's totally over it and Clint just looks uncomfortable with it all. Dads are funny. :)

i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
