What to do...

...on a fall day? Take pictures while playing in the leafs of course. It was a beautiful outside so we decided to play in the last of the leafs that are left in our yard. I think both girls enjoyed it.
She loves her Bigslee! I think this is one of my new favorites!


She is getting so big. I can't believe what a beautiful person she is growing up to be. I am one proud mama!

They truly love one another.

That Time Again

Today we took Paige for her 9 month pics with the fabulous Miss Lala from Shady Lane Studios. I got this hat last year at a craft show when Paige was still in my tummy and have been saving it for a special occasion. I love it! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

9 Months!

She is 9 months old. I cannot believe that my baby is 9 months old! Paige just had her nine month doctor's appointment and she is moving right along. She weighs 16 lbs 15 ozs. and she is 28 1/4" long. She is such a happy baby. She is trying to crawl but has decided that she can get where she needs to go by scooting on her tummy. She is a good little eater and we haven't found anything that she doesn't like. We are having a bit of a time trying to get her to drink from a sippy cup. She prefers me and is pretty bullheaded (she gets it from Doug - sorry honey) about trying anything else. She loves to play with her toys especially her stuffed animals. Whenever she gets a new "lovey" she just holds them up to her face and gives them big loves. She is such a little treasure - my Paige.





Pretty eyes! This is her version of winking!

Fall Fun!

Every October we all try to be home for a weekend to go to the pumpkin patch. Last weekend, most of us made it. We were missing Dina, Doug, Taylor and Blayke but we were still able to have some family fun. In the morning we all met up at the pumpkin patch for pictures and of course to pick out some pumpkins. Afterwards, we went to Al's pizza for lunch. Then everyone took a much needed afternoon nap. After our rests, we went to Sara's dad's house and the kids had a blast playing in the leaves and the swing set. All in all, it was a great weekend. I can't wait for next year!

Grandma will all her little kids. We missed you Taylor and Blayke!
Paige wasn't sure what to think of the leaves!
Piper loves her Uncle Scott.....
...and her Uncle Ty!
A rare photo of me and my big brothers.

The little pumpkin Piper picked out. The three "little" girls:0)
My girls! I love the look on Paige's face!

My Piper

Our Rock Star

She is such a little diva (and sometimes has the attitude to prove it). But she just loves to have her picture taken and had a blast doing these with Miss Lala of Shady Lane Studios. I am thinking of doing a wall collage of these for Piper's bedroom. I think it will be cute!!!

New Do!

We finally did it! We got Piper's hair cut today. I love it and more important Piper loves it. She looked in the mirror when we got home and said, "Mom, I just love it! I think I look five!" I just adore her! A big shout out goes to Nikki at Serenity Salon - You are the best!!!!!

New Family Pictures!

I finally picked up our family pictures today and I am just thrilled! Here are just a handful of my favorites. A BIG thanks goes to Miss Lala of Shady Lane Studios for the beautiful pictures - we love them!

Two Silly Monkeys

My two silly monkeys. Oh how do I love them!
