Halloween Pictures

We met the Boyd girls (Caroline and Carlee) for our annual Halloween pictures on the square.  This was the 4th year we have taken the girls in their costumes.  They are precious friends!

Halloween Pictures

Halloween was fun this year!  Olivia Grace decided to be Minnie Mouse (at least on the day of these pictures) and Annalyse was a cute little Pumpkin Fairy!! 

Riding With Big Sister!

Oh, I can just see it now!!!  OG driving Annalyse around in 12 or so years.  Annalyse loved riding in the jeep and OG thought she was hot stuff driving her.

Papaw's 84th Birthday

We celebrated my grandfathers 84th birthday in October too. I have been so blessed to have my grandparents all these years. I love that my girls are growing up with them in their lives.  Happy birthday Papaw!!  We love you so much!!!! 

Family Trip to Pumpkin Patch

After Olivia Grace's birthday party our family headed to the pumpkin patch.  We found the best (cheapest) pumpkins.  Then we took some family pictures.  Family pictures are always so interesting. But at least we tried!!!

Pool Party

Finally!!I am blogging Olivia Grace's birthday party.  We had OG's party at the Boys and Girls Club swimming pool.  She was so excited about having a swimming party this year.  The kids had a great time.  This year OG got to invite new friends from school.  It was a great combination of family and old/new buddies.  It was a great birthday party.  Thanks everyone for coming!! 

Birthday Girl

The afternoon of Olivia Grace's birthday we headed to the pumpkin patch/corn maze with the Denton family.  It was a perfect afternoon to celebrate such a special birthday.  Olivia Grace is just always so full of life and love.  We love you Olivia Grace!! 

Olivia Grace's 5th Birthday

Olivia Grace's 5th birthday was October 3rd.  We had a super day celebrating such a sweet little girl.  We started the morning off with church (took her favorite blueberry muffins for her class).  Then we had a great lunch outside with Dukes, Aunt Ellen, and Jordan.  Olivia Grace's request was a Hello Kitty cake - so that is what we had.  After Dukes, Ellen, and Jordan headed back to Little Rock we headed to the pumpkin patch and corn maze with the Denton's.  It was such a beautiful day outside. It was a perfect afternoon to go.  Olivia Grace enjoyed it all!!  God has blessed us so mcuh with Olivia Grace.  She is such a sweet spirited little girl.  Every day she reminds me how lucky I am.  I just can't believe she is 5.  Happy Birthday sweet girl.  Mommy, Daddy, and Annlayse love you SO mcuh!!!!

Birthday Weekend

We celebrated Jordan's 9th birthday and Olivia Grace's 5th birthday the first weekend of October.  Dukes, Aunt Ellen, and Jordan came up on Saturday and we went to Fast Lanes and to dinner.  We had a fun, relaxing weekend!!  I can't believe Jordan is now 9 and OG is 5!!!!

Way back in September (I've never been this far behind on blogging) was the Arkansas vs. Alabama game.  Gigi and Becky (Alabama fan) came up for the weekend.  The Greenfield's, Burroughs, and McGuire's came over for our annual tailgating party.  We had a great time, even if Alabama beat us!!!

8 Months

Annalyse has turned 8 months (I am just a little late on posting).  This last month has been so much fun.  Annalyse is just as busy as ever.  She is crawling all over the place, pulling up on anything she can, and cruising around the furniture.  She is a good eater.  She likes her cereal, veggies, fruit, and yogurt.  Solid table foods are not her favorite yet.  I am still nursing and supplementing with formula.  This month I will begin to go to formula only (have to have her weened before November because of vacation).  So I hope Annalyse is ready for that.  Annalyse is now a great sleeper.  No more getting up in the night!!!! She is taking a morning and afternoon naps.  Oh, she is so much fun!!  We all just love her so much.
