Heading South for Winter

Creighton and I had a fun trip visiting family in Arkansas. Big Daddy hadn't seen Creighton since he was 3 weeks old! When we showed up-they threw a birthday party for Creighton!

He's kind of got the hang of this opening presents thing. He did a little bit better than a few weeks ago at his first party.
Creighton was spoiled with lots of presents-including this floppy hat! Now he can wear it and look just like his Big Daddy!
When we brought this big puppy home we had daddy help us name him. He picked out the name "Grits". Grits is a southern food that Cason despises, but I love it! Meet Creighton's new puppy, Grits!

Big Daddy made Creighton a homemade devil's food cake with whipped cream. Creighton has learned to love cake, and any sweets for that matter, so he dove right into the cake as soon as he saw it and I wasn't able to get any photos of it. Big Daddy carved the chocolate cake into a number 1.

Oh yes-it is VERY delicious!! Great-Grandma Betty Jo was thrilled to finally meet Creighton. She insisted on taking him to her Assisted Living Center so that she could show him off to everyone. Of course, he was a big hit!

The weather in Arkansas was sometimes good, and sometimes ugly, but on the good days we went outside to play. We even took Creighton to the park-he loves to swing! We are hoping summer, or even spring, comes quickly to Idaho!

Big Daddy wanted to feed Creighton "real food". He had waffles and pancakes a few times for breakfast, he also had sweet potatoes and pork chops, and chicken and dumplings. Big Daddy also fed him marshmallows... Ugh...

Of course he also had LOTS of chocolate! You can't be a part of the Sanders' family and not love chocolate. Yes...he ate the whole cup of ice cream.

Yummy...Big Momma Cake! It's necessary to sustain life.

We love going to Arkansas and visiting Big Daddy and Inotda!
