Happy Fall Ya'll

WE went to Oak Mountain w/ Tracey and her fam and Tricia and her fam earlier in October. Then of course here is the pic of our Scary Fairy this Halloween. It's so nice this year b/c she can go from house to house on her own pretty much. Of course she went Trick or Treating w/ her cousins Justin (16) and Kara (11), so she had help. I have baby fever pretty bad so me and Matt are trying to work things out and get everything (bills) in order so we can get this show on the road.

Beach - October 2009

Yes, we finally went to the beach this month. We went w/ mom and Frank to PC BEach and had ourselves a ball!!!! I thank God for my sweet, healthy, happy family. All is well with us now and we are preparing for Halloween. :)

Summer

HEre are some of my fav things we have done this summer. Having a ball!!! Been to the zoo, swimming a lot, baby showers w/ BFF, bbq w/ family a lot, etc. Love the summer!!!!

Summer Time

Let me tell you - summer is the greatest. Here's why:
Every night after dinner and bath lately we have been catching lightning bugs and moseying over to moms for ice cream. It is so much fun and watching Emma and dad catch lightning bugs together makes me fall in love w/ him all over again. It is the sweetest thing ever and I love seeing it every night. The other night I was standing at the sink (like us moms do constantly i'm sure) and saw Emma come into view of the window hunkering down for a lightning bug. Then here comes dad getting one too. I just stood watching and enjoying it sooooo much!!! Love it!!!

Of course swimming is awesome. Seeing Emma learn to swim and jump off the diving board is so neat. I have to grab her in passing to smother on more sunscreen of course.

Grilling is awesome too. We get to enjoy the nice yard, living next door to mom, Max of course and all the fun outdoor stuff. And of course if there is water anywhere close she is in it. Love summer!!!! I will post pics soon.

Thankful

I was reading sweet Kayleigh's site and some friends put on their site a list of things they were thankful for. Here are mine - feel free to post yours also:
I am thankful my daughter wanted me to pick her up and dance with her last night.
I am thankful I am the first thing she sees each and every morning.
I am thankful Emma and Matt are happy and healthy.
I am thankful my mom and step dad live next door and we can see each other every single day.
I am thankful Emma is able to tell me every day what she did at school and we can talk and laugh a/b our day together.
I am thankful for God's awesome and abundant love for us.
I am thankful for Emma's sweet funny personality that makes us laugh and look at her funny every day!!!
I am thankful for a second chance at marriage with my wonderful husband.

I am thankful for God's forgiveness!!!!

Now, what are you thankful for????

Mr. Max

Here are pics of our new dog Max. He is a Beagle/Basset Hound mix and we just love him dearly. We got him last Friday from a lady in McCalla that had found him but had too many animals. He is a/b a year and a half old, completely house broke, sweet, lazy, loves water, loves to lick, doesn't love to play ball or tug, just wants to chill and sleep and love. Sweetest boy ever!!!! We are so blessed to have him!!! Took him to the park yesterday.

Hope everyone has a great and blessed weekend. God bless!!!

Emma had her end of the year party at the park this AM. It was a lot of fun but I won't bring toys again unless there are enough for everyone. I brought 2 bats and 2 balls and they fought the whole time. Won't do that again. :(

ETHAN

Tracey and Michael Wilson had Mr. Sweet boy Ethan on May 6th. He was 7#, 14 oz and so sweet!!!!

CONGRATS THE WILSONS!!! God is sooooo good!!!
