Between School and the fact that I post on facebook now, I have been very bad about blogging lately.

It's Saturday. and we just can't wait any longer to start decorating for Halloween.


This is Grace in Caleb's old costume.

Caleb found one of Daddy's masks and thought it was pretty funny.

My Kind of Woman!

Everyone must go here.

She's not only got amazing recipes...but a great personality too!

Grace spent her nap time chattin it up in her room...and changed her clothes like 100 times. I thought the outfit she finally settled on was cute! :) I mean, when aren't leg warmers perfect!?!? :)

And, of course, Caleb couldnt just sit by while Grace got her picture taken! :)

Isn't this a great picture of Grace!?!?! She's smiling AND her eyes are open!!

Today is Pappa's Birthday! :)

Lake Morning

Nancy

I met my Grandfather's Sister for the first time yesterday. Nancy came in from Wisconsin. I was shocked at how much alike they look...and it made me realize how much my Mom looks like her Dad! It was really awesome to see her, and I hope we can see each other again soon!

Parkway

The kids and i went up to the parkway yesterday to see something "beautiful"...as Caleb kept pointing out :) We brought the kites, but as you can see there was no wind and they never left the ground, though Grace did enjoy pulling one around! :)

{Notice the city below}

As if taking a good picture of Grace isn't hard enough, its dang near impossible when i'm taking it and in it!

Gracie took this picture :)

And Caleb took this one :)

Seeing Ash....off to England!

Ashley, Jake and Avery are moving to England today, so i got up to MD to see her one last time to see her this week. Jake {her Jake} was kind enough to take some pictures of us. The only problem is that he doesn't take pictures too often {ash is the photographer after all} and spent more time making us laugh than taking a good pic. i think the best one of us is this first one...and its focused on the wall! :) I'm so excited for them to get to live in England for a bit, so sad to see them go, but so excited the next time I see her will be in England! :)

Henry turned the big 2!

Safari Trip

We took another trip to the natural bridge safari. Grace was a bit nervous...this was her favorite part: the baby goat behind a cage :)

The chatted :)

We stayed until closing, so the workers got Caleb to help with the feedings :)

Grace was either tucked into her seat, or on my lap...

Caleb and Auntie Sam were in the bathroom getting ready, and Caleb came out looking like this :)

Auntie Sam crashed on the couch, and Caleb was excited to snuggle in with her in the morning :)

{crazy man}

There was a closet in the kitchen that was locked and we were curious about what was in it. One night while us girls were getting ready, we walked in on my dad with a butter knife taking the door off the hinges to solve the mystery..

...extra linens. At least it kept him occupied while we beautified! :)

While in Hilton Head, I was able to catch up with a {very} old friend. Michael and I grew up together and spent many hours on the busy hanging out. It was so fun to see him, wow time has flown!

the windy un-cruise

Sam, Caleb and I set out to see some dolphins on a local cruise tonight. We walked to the boat in beautiful clear weather and within 5 minutes were sitting on a very windy deck. After 30ish minutes on the boat, the captain announced that he would be unable to maneuver the boa out of the dock with wind that strong. At least we got fun pictures while trying to keep Caleb occupied during the wait :)

these are some serious "week at the beach" eyes!
