Happy Halloween!

Since Amelia truly believes that she is a princess, this year for Halloween she went as Cinderella and Jack was her little mouse friend Gus Gus. Amelia looked beatiful and Jack was the cutest thing in the world! We had our friends over again for the third year in a row to trick or treat around our subdivision. Enjoy the pics of my little fairytale crew;)

Boo at the Zoo 2010

This was our first year to go to Boo at the Zoo, a yearly Halloween special the zoo in town puts on. They have organizations from around town set up booths throughout the zoo and hand out treats, all at night. Chris was busy getting ready for his hunting trip so I met a friend from work and her son who is Amelia's age. Amelia was amazed and thrilled for the most part, maybe because she was so surprised to be out after dark. They even had some of the animals out to see. Fun night!

Amelia wanted to get her face painted for the first time, but changed her mind halfway through. I still don't know how this was in any way going toward the direction of becoming a lizard.

My little monsters;)

Pickin' Punkins!

This year with Chris' big hunting trip coming up, we just didn't have a weekend free to make it back down to Jackson's Orchard in Bowling Green like I had hoped. But there's a great farm market just here on the west side that we went to with Grandma and Grandpa too called Mayes'. They had hay rides to the pumpkin patch, where Amelia picked out a pumpkin for herself and a green gord for Jack (sweet sister). Then they had a big play area with two slides, and even a princess castle made of hay bales leading to a hay bale maze. Amelia thought it was amazing, Jack thought where's my dinner?

Princess Room

As soon as we brought Jack home, Amelia got a new room that immediately was named her "princess room". She loves her pink walls that she still talks about Papaw painted, and loves sleeping in her new "princess bed". If you remember we had a couple months during the summer when she always wanted to sleep in "daddy's bed", but now Daddy's bed's got nothin on her princess bed! Of course, princess bed or not, she still has to have her "yellow bankie"!

I painted her wall letters-pretty cute if I say so;)

This pic does them no justice but Andrea Halbig painted these princess canvas' and they are adorable!

Jack's Baptism (catching up)

Waaaay back on September 19 we had Jack baptised at our church. It was such a special service dedicating our new baby and our new family of four to God, as well as Jack's Godparents his Aunt Kelly and Uncle Mike! We are so blessed to know that they will always be there for him to help guide him through life;) After church we had lunch at our house and celebrated with the family-blessed day!

Nana gave Jack this quilt that was made by women from my church back home;)

Proud Godparents

Blessings!!

Where to even start??.......

I'm not even going to appologize for the 6 week blogging break, instead I'm going to bribe you with cuteness, convinced that these faces will make you forget that you haven't heard from us in an eternity:

Amelia's loves this chick! Alyssa's her "best friend ever, ever, ever!"

Hard to believe how stinkin cute he is right? Don't worry he knows and is completely playing you.

It's not fair that you can be basically a stick figure and eat as much as this girl, but then she's 2 and from the looks of it that alone works up quite the appetite.


hunka hunka burnin love.

Amelia wanted Baby Jack to sleep in her princess bed, so he agreed. pretty nice guy. pretty awesome sister.

The Day Dora Came to Town

As most of you should know, our Miss Amelia is still very much in love with Dora the Explorer! So this past weekend when they had Dora at our Evansville Zoo, I knew she had to go! Of course these things always go better in theory, but it turned out to be a fun day! It was extremely hot and extremely crowded, which I expected, and Amelia was a little freaked out by the hugely unproportioned supposedly 7 year-old superstar, but she got to say hello and even told her "I love you Dora" before we left;)

Dora glasses, bracelets, cup, backpack...check!

Ice cream to bear the heat!

Not too sure....

Happy girl to meet her "best friend" -precious memories!
