Bye-Bye CRV

Friday me, M.C. and Daddy made a trip to Hot Springs to do some shopping. I have been looking for a new 2010 Equinox for months now with no luck. We just happened to make a swing threw car lot and there it was! It was love at first site! The car dealership's mascot, Clyde the horse, was there and M.C. was fascinated by them...... that is until he came up to her........ then she almost had a panic attack. The people at the dealership took a picture of us with him. M.C. was doing everything she could to get away from Clyde. She almost chocked her poor mommy with her balloon string. I don't know why this picture posted this way. I can't figure out how to rotate it, but it's still funny as sin to look at!

M.C. enjoy her last few minutes in mommy's CRV.

She was soooooooo excited to get in the new car! She keeps tell me, "lets ride in mommy's new car please!"

A day with Cadie

Sunday afternoon Cadie Belle came over for a few hours. We decide to take advantage of the wonderful weather and head to the park.

What a cutie-pie!
Hugs for CadieAnd even a sweet kiss.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

Then it was time for a quick snack break. As you can tell there was a battle for the bag of gold fish and..................Cadie Belle won the battle!Cadie had a blast in the sand! She liked it so much she decided to try and taste it. Don't worry Ms. Shannon we cleaned her up very quickly!

M.C. is proud that she can now climb to the top of the big slide all by herself!

Fun with Mimi & Emily

Friday night was girls night out. I thought I was not going to get to go, due to all my family being at deer camp. But, my WONDERFUL mother-in-law came to my rescue. She and cousin Emily came down and spent the night with Micah Claire. Poor Mimi was trying to read to M.C. and Emily and M.C. just had too much energy to sit still. This was about the only time that these two girls sat still. They were full of energy, they rolled and tumbled all morning long!

PRECIOUS!

Nothing like cousinly love! LOL

26 Months

There are still some days that I can't believe I am a mom, let alone a mom to a 26 month old. M.C. is non-stop these days. She is talking up a storm. It is simply amazing to hear her talk in full sentences. Wednesday night we ate dinner at the Givens' house. Micah Claire had a great time playing with her best friend Cadie and baby Blakley.

Two pretty girls!

Friday M.C. and I spent the morning at the park. She is so full of life and energy these days!

Look at that smile and that hair!

She still loves to swing on her belly.

But her new favorite thing to do is lean back in the swing. It scares me to death but she LOVES IT!

My little acrobat!

MORE BIG SMILES!

Happy Halloween!

Micah Claire has been ready for Halloween for weeks now. She has been saying Trick or treat and Candy so much it's been driving is bonkers! She was a butterfly this year, but she called it Tinkerbell so we went with it.

She wasn't as happy for her momma to take her picture though, as you can tellCheck out those wings! I finally got some action and smiles when I told her she could dance!

And dance she did

and did some more!

Then her very two favorite lady bugs showed up, Lainee and Gracee.

Then papaw Barry and Ms. Debbie came. The got her some colors and several coloring books. And some how they managed to sneak M.C. in some............

Skittles, her new favorite candy! And as you can see was extremely happy!

She did so much flying around her wing fell off, but Ms. Traci came to the rescue and fixed her right back up!

Then Nana and Poppa showed up to bring her more goodies. They got her a plastic flute, some bubbles, a book and they also snuck her in.....................................

A candy necklace. I tell ya what Grandparents just don't listen to well to Mommy's and Daddy's! And then our man Tucker made his arrival. We tried really had to get all 4 of these kidos in one perfect picture; but it just didn't work out.

This is about as good as we could get.

My butterfly, excuse me, I mean my Tinkerbell was pooped by the end of the night. She didn't even want to take a picture with her mommy. That is until.......................

Her brilliant Poppa gave her an M&M thinking that would make her happy...... and well..... this is the picture I got. Oh well, I love her...... chocolate teeth and all!

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

M.C's first trip to Mt. Ida

This morning we headed out to Mt. Ida to watch cousin Colton play his last football game of the season.

Micah Claire was more than ready to go, go, go! She had to make sure she her babies BayBay and Maddie came along for the ride too!

We made stop in Glenwood to eat at Pizza Shack with Uncle Carl and his family. I got a picture of M.C and Daddy there, but for some silly reason I didn't take a picture of baby Carley. But if you've ever seen Carl Jones you've seen Carley Jo Jones because she looks JUST like him!

Then it was on to Mt. Ida for some football!Cousin Colton got to be a captain at this game. Turns out he was the star of the game; he scored TWO TOUCHDOWNS!!!!!!M.C. went out with Aunt Stacy and cousin Emily to watch the boys run threw the sign! It was so hot and bright out side that M.C. had to borrow her mommy's sunglasses.
And guess who was there......... Yep....... Cousin Madelyn! M.C had so much fun playing with her that she didn't watch hardly any of the foot ball game.

M.C. watching Madelyn's every move. She even got to help Aunt Mandee make her a bottle!

It was well past M.C's nap time when we finally hit the room home. As you can tell she sprawled out and slept the entire way home.

Papaw's Puppies

A few weeks ago, Papaw Barry and Ms. Debbie's Chesapeake had 10 puppies. Micah Claire was hesitant at first to see them, but it was love at first sight. Since that first visit she was asked everyday to go see the puppies. Ms. Debbie showing M.C. the only boy puppy! Aren't they sweet!
