FALL is my Favorite!

Fall is my favorite season because the trees are changing colors and look so pretty, the weather is just right, and Halloween time is so much fun!! I attempted to take a few pictures of Hallie Grace in her little ruffle bloomers and Halloween bow, but she is still a little young and fragile to cooperate!  Mom, dad, Ashley, and Andy came to our house this weekend and we enjoyed some taco vegetable soup and a card game last night, and then today we all went to church and came home and carved pumpkins!  It was a lot of fun!  Tomorrow I will post pictures of HG in her Halloween costume!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  :)







Mom trying to show Andy how to do it correctly!

Love Andy's enthusiasm!



Yea, I didn't do a whole lot..

Man!  These guys are really serious about carving pumpkins!  :)

The finished masterpieces!

Race for the Cure and Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Race for the Cure is a 5k in Little Rock promoting breast cancer awareness.  Thousands of people participate in for such a great cause, and it's a lot of fun..even though it's really crowded!  Michelle and I participated Saturday morning, and had a really good time.  That afternoon mom and I took Tilly and Hallie Grace to the pumpkin patch in Little Rock.  Tilly played in the corn, got her face painted by Mrs. Dawn, and then the four of us went on a hay ride.  Tilly loved it!  Sunday we went to church and then Hallie Grace and I headed back home to see daddy when he got off work.  I would just like to say that I'm having such a great time with my little girl.  I love being able to spend time with her and take her places.  She is such a blessing!

Ready for the Pumpkin Patch!

Gotta have a fully belly before all of the fun!

Happy Birthday MeMe!

Yesterday was Matt's mom's birthday, so she and Ashley and Adam and the kids came down so that we could all go out to dinner and celebrate.  We all gave her an 8x10 photo of all of us "kids," and she loved it!  It was nice spending time together, and I think the birthday lady had a pretty good day!

2 Month Check-Up

Today Hallie Grace had her 2 month check-up!  She is 11 lbs. and 23 1/2 inches long.  It was so sad because she had to get 3 shots.  :(  I don't know if I'll be able to get used to her getting shots!  The doctor checked her heart and heard a murmur so she had to get an EKG and an X-Ray to check everything out.  (It was pitiful!  She didn't like any of it!)  The EKG looked good, but we're going to go to Children's hospital to see the cardiologist just to make sure he thinks everything looks okay.  Our doctor thinks it's probably a tiny hole that will fill in on it's on, but we rather be safe than sorry! ...And the doctor agrees!  We have been loving on her all afternoon, and were happy about a good report. 

This is the best picture I could get!  This is before all of the madness began!  Bless her heart, she had no idea!!

A Trip to the Zoo

Hallie Grace had her first trip to the zoo this past Friday.  She won't remember it, and she had no idea what we were doing, but it was still her first trip there!  One day we'll take her back and she'll understand what's going on, and probably love it...just like Tilly did!  Me, Nana, Pawpaw, Tilly, and Hallie Grace all took a little visit to the Little Rock Zoo.  Even though it was about mid 80's, it was hot!  Tilly loved seeing all of the animals!  We were exhausted when we were through from the heat and all that walking, but it was worth it because we had such a great time!  Thanks Nana and Pawpaw!

Tilly constantly made sure HG was ok! So sweet!
