Dorothy Rocks Out

Emma got to wear her Dorothy costume to music class on Friday. Here she is rocking out on the drums.

Halloween Parade

Emma's school had a little parade and party for the kids to celebrate Halloween. Abby and I had a fun time watching Emma walk around the Chapel in her Dorothy costume. If they had a prize for cutest costume I think Emma would have won. =)

My cute little Dorothy.


Emma with her classmates. The boy in the overalls (I think he was a sheriff) is Emma's crush. She is always talking about him at home. She got a Halloween treat from him and it was all she could talk about that day and she is still talking about. The little plastic pumpkin he gave to all the classmates is like gold in our house right now.


I think Dorothy just wants to go home now. Emma was done with this whole bit of standing in front of everyone so parents could get as many pictures as possible.

Leg Warmers

When leg warmers came back into style for kids I was not quite sure what I thought of the idea. Then I bought my first pair for Abby to go with her Halloween outfit (which you will see in a few days) and now I am just in love with these things. I just might have to buy more, especially since Abby wears them so well.

Tummy Time

I have become obsessed with tummy time. I am so paranoid that Abby is going to get a flat head. So anytime I can put Abby in tummy time I do.


Emma and Andy wanted to join in on the tummy time fun.


Look at me mom, I can lift my head!


Emma loves when Abby is in tummy time. She goes around saying tummy time. I just love this pic of Emma admiring her baby sister.


My big blue eye baby. Oh I love you so much!!


Can't get enough of her cuteness.

Fall Fest

Our neighborhood school put on its annual Fall Fest this past Friday and we decided to go check it out. They had live music, tons of games, a choo choo train, and food. Of all the things to do, Emma was most interested in the playground.


Emma showing us she no longer needs the baby swing.




Waiting to go fishing for a prize.


Emma fishing. Something did bite and it was a witch tattoo.


Waiting in line for the train.


Emma and me on the train.


I just had to repost this pic to show which one of us got the short end of the stick in the ride with your kid on the choo choo train.

Happy Hour with Papa

Emma enjoys sitting with Papa on the front porch while the both of them enjoy their beverage of choice.

Sweet Berry Farms

On Saturday we headed to Marble Falls to visit one of our favorite pumpkin patches. We had a blast and will share all our fun with some pictures from the day.


Our arrival. Are we ready for some fun?!


Me and my girls enjoying some shade for a moment. Really we had to take a snack break right away b/c both girls were hungry.


Emma loved the tunnels from last year and was very excited to run through them again.


An up close shot.


Family pic.


Umm it is very bright out here.


Emma and her buddy Kenzie. We enjoyed hanging out with our friends while we were there.


Emma running after Kenzie.


Going through the tunnel to the other side of the farm.


Emma of course had to ride the barrel train. I think this was her favorite activity of the day.


Family pic on the hay ride. Thankfully this year Andy did not fall off.


Emma loves flowers and so we thought she would be interested in flower picking. We got our cup and scissors ready and Emma was not interested. She just wanted more of the barrel train.


Andy left to do the picking by himself.


Emma enjoying another train ride.




Me and Abby waiting for Emma to be done on the train. It was getting very hot out there.


Emma in the pumpkins. I probably took a hundred pics of Emma in the pumpkins. It was hard getting her to look at the camera b/c she just wanted to play with the pumpkins.


To get her to look up at us we kept saying look at the sky. We ended up getting a zen looking pic.


Emma during her first pumpkin patch visit having a zen moment.


Emma in the truck with the pumpkins.


Andy and the girls.


Emma and Abby. Such cute sisters!!


One last pumpkin patch pic of me and the girls.

A Shiner

In one corner we have Emma and in the other corner we have the edge of the footboard of our bed. The winner was the edge of the bed. Emma is now 0-3 against the bed. Poor baby!




The other day we were getting ready to go to Emma's open house when she ran into the edge of our bed. Her eye ended up getting cut in three spots and at first it looked like blood was coming out of her eye. Scared the living day lights out of me. Andy was ready to rush her to the ER but thankfully doctor grandpa helped us through it. Emma is all better now except for a few small marks that are clearing up. It might be time for a new bed.

Test Drive

The other day my parents drove their Buick over and Emma just had to take a test drive. Maybe Papa will give her one of his cars when she turns 16.
