birthday weekend (almost a month late)

The weekend of November 7th is always crazy for me. My brother and my best friend since second grade Jennifer, both share a birthday!

This year, it went like this: Friday night we ate mexican fiesta for my friend Katrinas Birthday. Then Saturday was a birthday lunch for my brother and then he and my boyfriend went to the gun range and then we went family bowling, where i lost horribly- but thats okay, because the family time was amazing. we had lots of great laughs! Then, Caleb and I had to rush home and get ready for Jennifers party. whew.

The weekend was amazing and I wouldnt have spent it any other way!

Katrina, suprised!

Ainsley turns 2 and Halloween Horror Nights

Ainsley turned 2 this past Sunday, November 1st. Just a low key family party at my parents with just the girls, my brother, me, and my parents. Taylor (Ainsleys older sister) didnt understand why we werent having a BIG party and wanted to know when it was. I am pretty sure Ainsley was okay with what we did for her birthday. We made the day all about her.

My brother and I went to Halloween Horror Nights the weekend before, it was a blast, but man were we worn out!!!

sealey fall carnival

My niece who is in kindergarden this year at Sealey Elementary (*sad* i cannot believe she is that old already- she is growing up way too fast). Anyway, her school had its fall carnival this past Saturday, so i took her and her sister, Ainsley. They had so much fun!

Here are some pictures:

Taylor Rock Climbing, really- she is fearless!

Ainsley "playing" golf

Taylor riding the 'horses'

Before we left, "matching" hats and shirts, and shoes!

After the carnival, we came home and made fall/halloween rice crispy treats. They were delicious!

I love them so much. They say and do the funniest things. I would do anything for these girls. Taylor looks JUST like her daddy (my bro) and Ainsley, even though she is not my baby, looks like me at that age (just different nose and teeth) i had that hair, those cheeks, those dark brown eyes.

i love my job!

Look at this cute little girl!

This is Adyson at 10 weeks.

She is so sweet and is coo-ing all the time, its the best.

I love her!

She is smiling so much now, it is great!

Adeline's mom purchased a double stroller for us, so that we can go on walks. Adyson sleeps the whole time, but Addie is up and pointing and saying things the whole time. It is so fun!

hello october!

Saturday, Sept 27th i started feeling sick. Sunday morning when i woke up, my temp was 104.2, which is horrible because i NEVER get a fever. So i called my mom in a panic and asked her what to do, she said tylenol and call the doctor first thing in the morning. Things kept getting worse, sore throat, bad cough, cold sweats, fever wouldn't go down, just felt awful. I stayed in bed, finally monday morning i called the doctor, they couldnt see me until 1:15pm, and even then, they were "squeezing me in" i finally got seen and my doctor did a complete body check and said that i needed to get tested for the swine flu right now. So they swabbed me, then i had to drive my swabs to LabCorp where they do the testing. 5:20pm that night I got the results, they were negative, thank goodness, but i STILL had the seasonal flu. So I stayed home Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Back to work last friday.

Work is different for me now:

-Tatum went to a preschool.

-I still watch Adeline, now 14 months old.

-I now also watch baby Adyson, she is 8 1/2 weeks old!

-I watch both Adeline and Adyson at Adyson's house.

It is new. I have to start a new schedule, while getting used to baby Adyson. A super great plus: Adyson lives 2minutes away from me, literally 3 blocks! Plus I dont have to be there until 830am. (I used to have to drive 25mins away and have to be there at 745am)

Adyson's family owns a huge house (that is for sale) on a beautiful lake really well known here in town where almost every Tallahassee resident has walked around, hint hint! Anyway, it will be great to take both girls on walks every day (a plus: exercise=hopeful weight loss!)

Any one else love this AMAZING FALL WEATHER?!? gahhh i love LOVE love it!

Tattoos

Well, a few Saturdays ago (Aug 29), i added a new tattoo to my collection. I must say, this has to be one of my favorites! All my friends say it suits me well. My mom, well she said "ohh gosh you will never be able to wear a backless wedding gown" hahah she is the best!

Caleb got one too, he actually went first, this was my birthday present to him. The tattoo artist is Ashley Eubanks of Top Ink in Thomasville, GA. He has done almost all of Calebs tattoos, and is a good friend of Calebs.

It was a fun experience, and i am sure we will go back soon. My boyfriend has 11 Tattoos already and plans to get 3/4 sleeves done on both arms.

***Hope this post doesnt offend anyone, i think tattoos are beautiful and an expression of art. Permanent Beauty!

(Tatums mom wouldnt be happy that we were eating in the living room, and trust me we dont ever, but today was an exception.)
