Halloween is just around the corner!

Here are the girls carving a jack-o-lantern for Halloween. We began by carving a pumpkin for Paityn - we made a cute castle on the front. Paityn didn't like touching the inside of the pumpken (just like her mom, I'll tell ya!) so dad had to take out most of the insides. HOWEVER, Briley had no problem digging right in. She ended up in her diaper only because she was sticking her arm all the way in and pulling out the seeds. Funny girl!


Here's our final products - not too shabby!

Go Big RED!

Here are the girls having some tailgating fun before Western's football game. We really enjoyed it and hope to go again really soon!

Cornhole anyone?

We LOVE our Grandma Bettie!

We got the chance to visit Brad's grandmother at the Plantation. She and her husband own a condo and were staying there when we made the trip. We went out to eat and had the most wonderful time! It's so wonderful that the girls got to visit with her and spend some time together.

Gulf Shores VACATION!

Here are a few pics of the girls on our FALL BREAK! We went to the beach! Yeah! We plan to make this a yearly event - no crowds, pool to ourselves, no long lines,... It was awesome! Our condo was really cute also so we plan to return to the exact same spot! Can't wait!

Our CHIPPER

We love our dog, Chipper! Paityn got him when he was a wee little puppy on her 4th birthday and here he is - all grown up! He is a Goldendoodle and is EXCELLENT with the girls and we enjoy having a pet to play with and have fun with. He is a little big for Briley but she is DEFINITELY not scared of him. She is hilarious - when he runs by her, Briley will squat down and close her eyes, just in case he gets too close! :-)

Is it RAINING yet?

OK shoppers - you HAVE to go to Chatter's for their summer clearance sale. I got the most ADORABLE raincoates for my girls! Here they are - sporting them in the house because obviously there is not any rain around here. We can't wait to wear them maybe this fall but definitely in the Spring! Too cute!

Birthday Girl!

OK, I'm going to have to do better at taking pictures. I get so busy that I forget to pick up the camera. Paityn had an ice skating party and it was LOTS of fun. We had to make the kids come eat and take a break. Everyone had a great time! Paityn really liked her CANDY CASTLE cake, too. It was huge!




Next year, I promise to get better pics! Hopefully, I won't have so many cakes to bake in one week. I'll make sure to leave this weekend free for my princess!! Thanks to everyone who came to the party. We had a blast!
