Fair Days


The boys with some of their oldest friends, Christopher and Maggie Claire. The boy's team the Tiny Tigers are going undefeated this year, it is so much fun to watch. They are good little soccer players.

I had to take a picture of this little girl's hair, she is getting a good cut next week and I'm not sure if she will have any curl left :( She has so much hair and it really is pretty one day she will appreciate it!

Right before getting Christmas Card pics done, this snaggle tooth has my heart :)

This was the first picture session that I really thought we would get nothing, she is so painfully shy that she couldn't get her finger out of her mouth or make eye contact with the camera... hopefully she will get over some of this and be able to show people how sweet and funny she really is. 

We went to Maggie Moore's birthday party at Kamper Park, it was such a great day to be outside!

Here is Mawmaw and Say at Chris and Kim Eavenson's baby shower, baby Avery is coming soon!

Saylor is like her Momma and loves animals, we went to the South Mississippi Fair in Laurel and this was her favorite part. She laughed at and Mommied all the animals.



Then they all rode the ponies :)

These boys have no fear to the point I'm a little worried. They were tall enough to ride a lot of the grown up rides and they didn't even want to talk about it, they got in line and got pumped up before I could change their minds! They were not entertained by the baby rides at all.

Saylor got to play a fishing game and won a caterpillar.

This is one of our favorite traditions of the year, so much to see and eat! We love the racing pigs, face painting, all the baby animals, art exhibits, and all the familiar faces. We ate corndogs, chicken-on-a-stick and cotton candy. Can't wait for next year!

Cabo Wedding

My dear friend that I graduated with and lived down the street from, Lauren Bicker, married her sweet fiance on October 4th in the beautiful Cabo San Lucas. I was in the wedding so Joel and I went on the trip and had the time of our lives! My parents came and stayed with the kids during the week (wed-fri) to keep them on their schedule and they went to Joel's parents for the weekend. It seemed like this week would never get here but it did and we saw some of the most breathtaking scenes I have ever laid my eyes on. The Bicker's were amazing hosts and had an event planned for each day and they covered every detail of the wedding. It was truly an amazing week.
Our first night there they took all of the guests on a sunset cocktail cruise. There were at least 40 people! We took a boat out on the Pacific side and watched the sunset. Cabo is known for this natural Arc in the rocks off the very tip of the Baja Peninsula.

This was at the rehearsal, at the Sunset de Mona Lisa. Angie, Lauren, Chrissy, me, Carolyn, Katherine and Vanessa. The little girls are Lauren's nieces, Allie and Caroline.

The next day at the pool, Joel and I won the trivia game. It was like winning the World Cup, so exciting, wish I had a trophy.

The beautiful bride and her dad. 

The wedding had its own Mariachi band that played all the music before and during the ceremony.

This whale is a slide that goes into the pool, we played on it like kids, so much fun!


This was the view from our balcony.

Joel and I had the best time with friends and let loose and played in the ocean (which I normally would never do) played in the pool, ate amazing food, got great sleep and saw some of God's most amazing work. Thanks to the Bicker's for hosting such a grand week and letting us be a part of such a special wedding!

Boxes

October is always one of our most exciting months with the boys birthday, fall and their 2nd favorite holiday....HALLOWEEN!
We went to the FUMCL pumpkin patch where Mr.Ben helped them all pick a pumpkin, I picked a bushel of the little white and orange baby pumpkins.

You can bet that Harrison is going to go for the biggest one in the patch that has a stem and I always end up talking him down in size because I can't carry it :)

He we are with our loot, Hudson usually goes for something unique, this year it was a white one.

Harrison missed his first day of school and while at home he found this box and pretty much stayed in it all day, he ate lunch in it and took a rest...where can I get more??!


Saylor is getting bigger and bigger and likes to wear her towels like Mommy.


Charlie stays right with her whenever we are outside, he knows that's his baby sister.

These two boys had all A's on their very first report card!! 98's and 100's to be exact and all "O" for Outstanding behavior :) We are so proud and very pleased with where they are in public school as far as what they have learned. Common Core is working well in Kindergarten in my opinion!
