HaPPy HaLLoWeeN!!!

Halloween was great fun this year. The kids and I went to the neighborhood Trunk or Treat on Friday night. Jaden dressed up as Tony Romo and Kaylie was a pretty little ladybug. They loved saying trick or treat and please and thank you. They mostly loved the candy. :)

Halloween night I went to my friend Ashley's Halloween Party. It was sooo much fun. It is always fun to get together with the girls from high school and their hubbies. We played fun games and had rrrreally yummy food. Ashley decorated her place so cute and put a lot of time into it. She was a great hostess. Thank you Uncle RyRy for watching my kiddies so I could go have a fun time with friends!

18 months for Kaylie!

My babygirl Kaylie is 18 months old now! Wow time has flown by. I still think of her as my little baby. It's amazing to me how much she has changed in just the past few months. She is growing up so fast. I look at pictures from the summer and she looks like a baby and now she looks like a big girl! I love her so much. She is still full of personality and attitude, I love it. She loves to tell Jaden and I no and loves to tease. She knows how to stand up for herself now since she was always picked on by Jaden and Brindley and couldn't really do anything about it. Now she will push them or take their toys and run the other way giggling. She may have her attitude, but she is such a little sweetie. She loves to give long hugs which are my favorite. She will just rest her head on my shoulder and hug me tight. She is learning new things all the time. She says hi and bye, she will answer questions with a yes or no, she says lots of small sentences and copies what Jaden says a lot. One of my favorite things she says is "touchdown!" and puts her hands up in the air. She does it when we are watching football of course. :) It's adorable. I love her soooooo much and am so thankful that she is my little girl.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of her taken the past couple of weeks...

My little gymnast

I'm really thinking Kaylie will be a gymnast. She loves to jump, twist, spin, tumble, and walk on her hands. :)

Tickle tickle tickle!!!

Hogle Zoo

Daddy, myself, Jaden, Kaylie, my sister Megan, Mindy and her little boy Gavin all went to the Hogle Zoo the other day. Us adults were just as excited as the little kids, or maybe even more! We started off the day with going on the "choo-choo train." Jaden was so excited that he was speechless. He just sat there biting his nails and looking around in disbelief. He loves to play with trains but has never rode on one before. He has been talking about it ever since. Kaylie had a lot of fun riding with Daddy.

We saw a lot of neat animals. I really wanted to see lions, but I guess they died a few years ago and one of the employees said they wouldn't have anymore for a long time. It was still fun to see all of the other animals, especially the baby elephant and baby giraffe.
Jaden and I stood together and watched the elephants for quite awhile. I pointed to the mommy elephant and said "look Jaden, that's the mommy elephant and that's the baby elephant next to her." He then said, "Yea Mommy, that's you!" (pointing to the mommy elephant) "And that's me, Jaden!" (pointing to the baby elephant.) How cute is that! And what a smart little boy. :)







We were sooo tired after, but had lots of fun!!!

Who wears short-shorts?

My sister Angie is hilarious. Last weekend my sisters and I went shopping together and on our drive home we were listening to the radio. A song came on and she turned it up loud and here's how the conversation went...

Angie: Ohhh who sings this song?
me: I have no idea.
Angie: Is it that girl who sings "Who wears short shorts!!!" (sings the tune of the Nair commercial, Who Wears Short-shorts"
me: (laughing so hard...) Angie, that's a commercial...
Angie: Well it's something about shorts and high-heels or something, I like that song. She's really popular.
me: Taylor Swift??? (still laughing)

Megan and I were laughing sooo hard. You had to be there...
