A quick picture update...
A few weeks ago, Gibson complained of a headache. I wasn't sure what to think about a 3 year old having a headache. Kinda weird huh? He would hold his head and cry. Nothing would console him. There were brief moments when the Motrin was kicked in and working good that he was his normal playful self. But if the meds weren't working full blast, he was hurting. He didn't have any other complaints and no fever so I was a little freaked out. So we took him to the doctor and as it turns out, it was strep throat and another ear infection! I had no idea a headache was a symptom of strep! Bless his heart! He hadn't complained at all with his throat hurting and wasn't running fever which I thought were the main 2 symptoms of strep. Leave it to our kid to have the oddball symptoms! So ten days on antibiotics and he's good to go! We went back to the doctor this past week for a check-up on his ear infection. There was still some fluid so we are going to the ENT doctor on Thursday this week. I'll let you know what he says later this week!
So for 2 days, the nap pad in the living room was Gibson's home. 
And he watched entirely too much tv. I guess that's at least one benefit of being sick. :)
Once he was feeling better, Gibson decided to ride off into the sunset on his sturdy horse!
After we were mended from strep, Gibson had cousin Hannah's birthday party to attend. It was at one of the gyms here in town. I just knew Gibson would have so much fun with the foam pit and the trampolines. He wasn't as thrilled about it as what I thought he was going to be. He would only jump into the pit off of the blue pad that was supposed to be for crawling out. He let us throw him in a couple of times. All in all, he wasn't very excited about the foam pit. :(
He did like the trampolines! He's always been a jumper!
I guess one of his favorite parts was this wheel thingy. Jason was on duty but was able to come by to visit. So Jason pushed him in this wheel and Gibson thought it was tons of fun! Sorry the pic is so blurry but you can still see how much fun he was having!
Jumping on the trampoline!
Back in the wheel thingy
After all the jumping and playing, Gibson was starving. He basically inhaled his cake! This is the first time he's EVER ate an entire piece of birthday cake!
Last weekend was the Tinsel & Tiding's craft show. We took Gibson thinking we were going to see Santa. Last year they had Santa and you could sit in his lap and have your picture taken for $5. So, off we went this year, with $13 dollars in my pocket for any snacks we might need to but to get Gibson through the show. Nannie gave Gibson $5 to see Santa. So, Santa was there but they had a professional photographer there to take the pictures and the minimum picture package you had to purchase was $20. So, Jason & I had got to explain to a 3 year old why he couldn't see Santa because we didn't have enough money! I was so frustrated! I was mad at myself for not grabbing any more money or at least the checkbook. Oh well! Lesson learned! (Don't worry! Gibson will get to see Santa at Jason's work Christmas party this week. Santa shows up riding in an ambulance so to Gibson that's the best of both worlds!)
With our check-up this past week, Gibson's doctor decided that Gibson probably needed to do a few days of breathing treatments to help get rid of this cough that will not go away. Just wanted to stop any asthma problems before they got too bad. He such a big boy and sits there with his big boy medicine the whole time.
Thanksgiving Day 2008!
Nannie & Papaw spent their Thanksgiving morning raking & burning leaves. They got one side of the yard done but ran out of time on the other side of the yard. So we took advantage of the leaves and snapped pictures of the boys!
Here's Payden!
Uncle Josh is throwing leaves on them here!
Gibson showing Meme the leaves! And trying not to break it! :)
Payden getting buried in the leaves! Bless his heart! He had leaves in EVERY nook and cranny of his body! They wiped him down from head to toe! I'm guessing they'll find a few more leaves in his cast on Tuesday when he gets a new cast put on! :)
G: "It's raining leaves!"
More raining! :)
Gibson was tired of the raining leaves and was letting it be known! Payden thought Gibson was pretty funny!
I'm sure there are other moms out there just like me. I HATE having my picture taken. But now I wish that I would just get over it because I can't find very many pictures of Gibson and myself. So as a very early new year's resolution, I want to make sure I get more pictures of Gibson & I together. We'll see how well I do. :)

The Tinsel & Tiding's show did have a bounce house that the kids could jump in for FREE! (I wondered if they felt a little guilty for charging $20 for a picture with Santa.) Anyways, Gibson had a blast except for it was FREEZING COLD outside. So once he started jumping, he decided real quick he needed to take a potty break! :)

Finally!
We have a busy week this week! Christmas parties & plays, doctor appointments, and lots of other things! I'll make sure my camera battery is charged! ;)

I love the leaf/leaves pictures! Their faces tell the whole story.
And I'm so glad that you are making a new resolution about taking pictures. People have no idea how frustrating it is to want to have pictures and "those people" put their hands in front of their faces....ok...I'm jumping off my soap box now!
Let me know about their play....I want to see it!
AND...I do hope they feel guilty about the pictures with Santa! That is STUPID!
Love you ALL!
