i am too tired tonight to try to scrapbook the last few weeks' photos...here they are :) and costume photos will be coming soon

michelle's engagement party
we had such a wonderful evening! michelle has asked me to coordinate her wedding and this was the first wedding event of many to come. i was a little nervous but it really was a wonderful evening! and ms. lynne's apple tarts were AMAZING...i need to get that receipe






Emily Jane at Build-a-Bear...or Build-a-Monkey...whichever
i have had a gift card to build a bear for a long time now and thought it would be fun to take emily jane now that she is into stuffed animals and such. aunt shelle came with us and emily jane had such fun picking out the animal - hated the noise the stuffing machine made - wasn't too keen on brushing the monkey either - but LOVED picking out the monkey's outfit. she kept wanting to buy it shoes - but i kept saying no. meany mommy. the monkey's name is either annie or penny - i can't decide which. :) but she loves that monkey - her favorite thing about the monkey is that we put one of those noisemakers in it that sings a little birthday song - she goes around and dances with that silly monkey and i'll hear her playing it after i put her to bed. it's always so fun to see them enjoying something you paid good money for...




on the way home she said anniemonkey needed a blankie. so she covered up anniemonkey and fell asleep on the way home. cutiepie.


my new laundry service...heh...this speaks for itself...rhett said to be careful of child labor laws...HAHA

so where is the pumpkin patch?

on our field trip to the pumpkin patch - we actually didn't see a pumpkin patch! haha we walked through a corn maze, petted some goats and chickens, jumped around a blue cow jump house, played with the corn table (instead of a sand table), and went on a hayride! it was a perfect day - the kids loved it! :)

Michelle is engaged!

mr. potato...i mean...pumpkin head

all about eben

for eben's preschool class we had to do a poster that was all about eben. so here's the mini version of it - or pretty close to it anyways. i think it turned out pretty cute!

puddle jumping

today it rained here...i don't think it's rained in two months...and my kids jumped at the chance to use their boots and umbrellas...these are the first pictures i've gotten of emily jane in her "rain gear" tee hee

more pics of a brand new two year old

showing off my birthday shirt!!! princess for a day!

not too sure about the candle at first...but ended up loving blowing it out - after 4 tries and then with some help!

frosting is definitely the best part of a cupcake!

and i think we've partied enough for now :)

i have a two year old!

we had emily jane's party today - and it was so much fun! here's some pics-i'll post more later...she absolutely LOVED all her presents...but i do believe the kitchen was the highlight...she literally jumped and clapped her hands when she opened it. it was precious! she was such a joy to watch as she opened her presents... absolutely everything was "wow!" or "cool!" or "i love it!" sometimes i wish she would never grow up. :)

Emily Jane is turning 2!

So my sweet baby girl is going to be two...it's amazing how fast they grow! Here's the link to her invitation. I'll post pictures after her party as soon as I can. :)
