Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from Audrey Hepburn, Wonder Woman, and our little indian!!

Love

I just love this man!

My Sweet MP

I had these pictures that I didn't quite know what to do with.  It is not very often I do posts about one of the girls individually.  Why not?  This girl definitely deserves one of her own!  I honestly need to keep a journal of the funny things she says, like seriously!  You wouldn't believe some of the things that come out of her mouth.  All appropriate, I can assure you.

This girl absolutely gives me a run for my money, and I love every minute of it!

This is a picture she drew of my dad.  Kinda scary how much it really looks like him.

I love you MP!!  Thanks for keeping me on my toes!!

Celebrating Julia Grace

October 10th, we celebrated the precious life of this sweet angel, by releasing red balloons in her memory.

I am overwhelmed by the faith of her precious family.  

Happy Birthday with Jesus, sweet girl!

Pajama Party

I joined Meredith today for a virtual pajama party, halloween style :)  These pj's have been such a huge hit in our house, because they glow in the dark.  Thanks for the cute idea Meredith!!

There is nothing like a hug

Here a month or so ago, we took on the neatest project. I thought it would be super neat to trace the girls and send them to a certain special couple back home.  My granddaddy has been "stuck in bed" for quite some time now.  How great would it be for him to have "hugs" from his great granddaughters covering his room.

I promise this child wears clothes occasionally.

This girl made me so proud!!  I told her what letters to write and she wrote them all by herself.  Maybe my teaching isn't so bad after all!

She was so proud!

Did you hear?

That's right folks!!  I'm gonna be an AUNT!!!

Can you believe it?  I am over the top excited!

MP has named sweet baby, Baby Dora.

2 weeks and we shall see.

Thank you, Mackenzie and Nathan for the chance to be an aunt!

Take 2 Tuesday

Rewind back to October 1st when I had that horrible day.  Well, we were outside talking to the neighbors and Jen could tell something was obviously wrong with me.  She "happened to bring up" the  fact that we should check and see If Hob Lob had opened.  A little googling and we discovered it had opened that day!  She suggested we go the next morning.

If you remember, I was pretty, we'll say perturbed at the fact there was there was no HL here.  Let me give you a visual.  The day I found out they were opening one here, I screamed at the top of my lungs, literally.

Turns out, it was just what I needed.  A little bit of home.  Don't worry I didn't go crazy.

After a very successful "mark things off the pinterest to do list" trip, we found another piece of home.  WINGSTOP!!!!

What memories that place holds for me!

Of course, the real reason my day is made better.  My reason for waking every morning!

Thank you Jen for loving me, and for being such an incredible friend!!  What am I going to do when the Navy takes you away from me?

Power

For the love of babies

What happens on the weekend

Ok, so what is it, October 8?  That means I have let's see, 5 blogs to catch up.  I am going to have to start making a sch. of what I am going to blog about.

Now for the real stuff ,because I am sure you are having a hard time reading with this sweet thing staring at you.  

Several months ago I found a DIY bench that I have been dying to get done.  It had to be upholstered, so I had to find the perfect fabric.  I finally found it, thanks to Meredith!!  Well, the fabric sat in my closet for a couple more months until I finally found the time to do it.  So off we went to Lowe's to find the rest of the supplies.  SN:  The customer service was absolutely the most ridiculous I have ever received.  You know me, I of course was comparing them to the store in Abilene.  We then stopped by Target, and Hancock's for a couple things.  I do realize that is not important, but actually it so is.  

Sweet precious said CHEESE for the first time and I captured it!!

This was like her first steps for me!  I am so glad she finally found her smile!

Don't you love her?

Oh yeah!  It was college gameday and you know I had to represent.  I love this new shirt for so many reasons!

My supplies minus the first staple gun that was purchased.

Something got into me that day because I was full of go and get it.  After spray painting the bench legs, I bleached and scrubbed our entire front porch,and also dug up a rose bush.

The finished project.

What do you think?

While I was upholstering, daddy was in charge.

I think she was pretty happy about that.

As promised

I promised you a couple more posts for today.  Sorry for the complete randomness of this post.  

If you are expecting you must own!!

My smarty pants :)

 My Kojie in training.

This was our 1st date in 11 months!!  I love spending time with this man!

We started our date at the car dealership picking my car up.  Pretty depressing I must say!  

Early morning walks are the best!

and yet another successful pinterest recipe!!!  Chicken pot pie biscuits, absolutely delicious!

I took my big girl to the book fair, just the two of us.  She picked out one book for herself, and one for her class.

This girl just wanted her picture taken.  Of course I didn't mind because she is so stinkin' cute!

So proud of AK!!  She never lets me down.
