Halloween Pictures

My little owl Lathan, Emma Grace, The Butterfly and Kiley, The Cheerleader! What a great Halloween. The kids had a blast and we got to spend a fun filled evening with neighborhood friends! We all went Trick-or-Treating and then headed back to Kate and Jeremy's for yummy chili, sides and lots of deserts:)

My Big Boy

Where does the time go?!! Lathan turned 3 months last week and I just can't believe it. I finally got a good belly-time shot, he just hates laying on his belly. Usally my pictures of him on his belly, he's either face first on the ground or screaming. This one I am cheering "go big boy, look at you" and he is trying so hard to keep the heavy head up, lol! I just love him and wish in a crazy kinda way the days would slow down.

Picture # 4

Thanks Kate for tagging me! Now, the game goes this way, go to your pictures, pick the forth file and then the forth picture. I just got a brand new laptop last weekend, so my pictures are pretty recent. This is the Lucky picture, which works out well because I never got to blog about Emma Grace's B-day because of all the issues with my old computer.

Emma Grace turned 4 on September 10th and boy did she enjoy celebrating with yummy cupcakes! (mommy cheated and bought them form Harris Teeter, ) This is a picture of Kiley and Emma Grace enjoying those cupcakes! I can't believe my baby girl is 4. She has really growin up in the past months, especailly since her roll as a big sister has taken place. She is an awesome, free spirted, giving, loving, girl. She loves playing dress up and on any given day you will find her in some type of dress up attire. She loves dresses that fly up when she spins and when putting a dress on she always has to test out the spin factor. She has a heart of gold and reminds me so much of my mom. I love spending time with just her and I. She loves her family, each one of us in her own way. She is a gift from God and I feel so very lucky to call her mine. Happy Birthday Big Girl, you will always be mommies Baby Girl.

I will tag Kell, Holly and Dawn, I can't think of anyone else who reads my blog, that hasn't been tagged:)

Halloween Happening

Riding on the Hay Ride with Daddy!

This is why I RARELY eat meat! YUCK!

My Happy Girls!

Jumping in the Bounce House.

We had such a fun day, we went to a local Halloween Happening today. The girls had a blast and so did me and Ryan. They had a petting zoo, games, crafts, bounce houses, joust, climbing wall, slide, train ride and a hay ride. Believe it or not, it was free.....that made mommy and daddy extra happy:) Enjoy the pictures and fall weather.

Update

Me and Kell. She's the Godmother!

My Grandparents and Lathan. My Grandfather is a Deacon and has Baptized all my children. It makes it even a more special moment.

Kell, and Zac the Godparents, me, Ryan, Lathan and my Grandfather.

Yes, I have been M.I.A. My computer is having technical difficulties. Me and Ryan have decided we need to get a new computer we just haven't had time and when we do have time taking 3 kids to pick out a new laptop doesn't sound to appealing.

So, let's see what you have missed out on.....

Emma Grace's 4th B-day and B-day party, Lathan's Baptism, My mom's wedding.....those being the big events and of course just the daily pictures I have taken of the kid's just having fun.

I lost Photoshop, along with all my Microsoft programs so I am unable to post pictures unless they are emailed to me. My sis sent some pictures of Lathan's Baptism so I will share those and when I get time to go purchase that new laptop I promise the pictures will start to come.

Kiley is doing GREAT in school, she just loves learning! She is doing Hip-Hop at Steps N' Motion and is so good at it. She is a great big help with Lathan and her and Emma Grace are Best Friends, they play so well together!

Emma Grace is doing preschool at home with one of our neighbors. She loves it and has really taken an interest in learning. She loves to write her letters and constantly has a book in hand. She is doing dance again this year, Tap and Ballet and is really enjoynig it. She is also a super helper with her baby brother and just adores him.

Lathan, wow has this baby boy growing so quickly. He will be 12 weeks on Monday. I took him to the doctors last week for a cold and he weighed in at 15.2 lbs. He is getting so big. He smiles constantly and is starting to talk to us. He is sleeping pretty well, only waking once during the night usually between 4 and 5. Sleeping a total of 12 hours! It's nice getting about 5-6 straight hours of sleep. He is the easiest baby. We are so lucky to have him.

So that is our quick,,,,well kinda long update, but hey it's almost been a month and I had to give you a little of each kiddo.

The Greek Festival

My wonderful sister Kelley came with us to the Greek Festival this weekend. It was so crowded but the kids had a blast. Kell rode on the rides with Emma Grace, she's my "nervous about everything child" and wanted Kell with her. The food smelled so good. I was good and didn't eat any of it. They have live dances back to back and we got to watch some of the kids preform. Kiley and Emma Grace were glued. It was a fun day. Thanks for all your help Kell.

Why I love Harris Teeter

Well, before I had Lathan, and Kiley and Emma Grace were in school, I would shop at Wal-mart for groceries, great prices and ummmm.... that's about it. Well, since I've had Lathan I've been going to Harris Teeter. It is right around the corner, they help carry your groceries out (which I never let them do until now), they have great customer service and the free balloons and cookies don't hurt! So this morning me, Emma Grace and Lathan head out to HT. It's really difficult shopping when the car seat takes up the whole cart so by the time we were done, we were DONE! I had the bagger carry my stuff out and load it up. I get home Lathan is ready to eat and I am starving. I start unpacking the cold stuff and looking for my lunch and realise I only have about half my groceries, UHHHHHHHH, the last thing I want to do is load up the kids and head back out. Lathan is hungry and ready for a nap and I am starving and of course Emma Grace is hungry it's after 12. So, I call HT and ask them if they have my groceries and of course then do. I ask if they could possibly bring them out to me when I get there and the girl tells me she can deliver them to my house!!!! What??!! Okay, I am not gonna argue with that. So, that is why I shop at HT. Oh, and they gave me a gift card because of the inconvenience. Thanks HT, you've got my business:)
