Fall is in the air..
Well fall decorations are in the air anyways! The temperatures really have not come down quite that much yet. (as you will be able to tell by E in a short sleeve dress and crocs ;)
Today we headed down to the Botanical Gardens and they were getting everything set up for fall! It was gorgeous! Onces the leaves start changing it is really going to be picture perfect!!
As you can tell from the pictures we finally have some sunshine back in the south!! We have been drenched with rain for going on 5 days straight. This momma does not do well with being stuck inside that long.
We enjoyed being outside and soaking up the last bit of warmth that Summer had to offer.
We will def. be heading back to snag some fall pics in the next few weeks!
Happy Thursday Everyone

Stay tuned!!

Do YOU?!?!?
I had some questions and I was just wondering if I was the only one. Surely I am not alone.. so dont leave me hanging!
Do you: Like to cook?
No I dont! Please tell me I am not the only one. I want nothing more than healthy meals for my family BUT every afternoon I start to get the "dinner time is coming" itch. I start getting all flustered about what to cook and the agony of having to cook usually during the girlie's whiney part of the day. When I do feel up to cooking I feel like I cook the same thing over and over and over (you get the point!). Dont get me wrong I cook at least 4 days a week.. but that does not mean I dont kick, scream, whine, and throw a small tantrum every.single.time ;)
Do you: Get really excited for a night with out the kiddo then they leave and you sit and think "now what am I supposed to do?!"
I do! Just today E and I went and ran errands with my mom. We had a great day. Just had lunch, piddled (I dont mean piddle like kate means it.. I mean just kind of hang around ;) around target a little bit (found a few really cute Halloween shirts for the munckin) then came home and hung out. I got her stuff packed up and sent her out the door. I sat down read a few blogs, facebook stalked a few folks, tweeted, then I looked around and said "now what?" I know.. its crazy right?!
Do you: Love decorating for every season in your home?
My hubby thinks I am nuts. As soon as a season begins to change so does my home. I dont go drastic but I change a center piece on my dinner table, put a few decorative pieces on the mantle, put a flag outside.. ya know those type things! Please tell me its my husband.. I do not go overboard..right?
Do you: Try not to spoil your child(ren) but spoil them accidently (on purpose perhaps..) anyways?
I try so hard to not let E have this only child spoiled rotten type life. The truth is though she is spoiled rotten. She is not spoiled in a way where people outside of the home think she is a spoiled brat.. but her needs are def. met a little over and above what is necessary. I just cant help it sometimes. If I see something I know will bring a smile to her face I want her to have it.. I do not really over induldge in the toy dept. but the girl loves clothes! So I guess its not as bad that she NEEDS clothes on her back.. right?!
I am sure there are many more.. I will prob bring this type thing back in another week or so. Sometimes it just helps to know that I am not the only one.
So spill your guts! Are you guilty of any of these?!?

Maybe a smidge overboard ;)
What a wonderful weekend it was! The weekend started off with a bang. I became a godmommy for the second time.
Isnt she the most perfect peaceful baby girl! My heart just melted the first time I held her.. little C will def. be a wonderful addition to the crew :) Her big brother is doing fabulous with her as well.. dont have a pic of them together yet but I will work on that for ya... your welcome ;)
After Spending some time up at the hospital on Friday and early Sat. am.. I decided to take E out on a little adventure to our local museum's nature trail. She was excited and I was ready with my camera in hand. I have not been able to take an "official" 2 year shot yet so I was determined before she was like two and a half to get some good shots of her!

She has never been so cooperative with me...ever!
I dont know if it was that she was being so cooperative or if that there was just enough people around to kind of distract her and let me get some pics.
Either way... I am very pleased with they way they turned out
Somebodys a little tree hugger ;)
One of my fav's of the day..IF I had to pick ;)
Ok I think I may have gone a little overboard with uploading all these pics.. but I just could not help myself!

Ok.. thats it! Promise ;) Now its your turn.. which one is your fav? I am going to try and get a few of these printed and placed around my house. After all.. I take a trillion pics of her and the most recent ones out are of her 1yr photo shoot! Can you say slacker!
Let me tell you what else is going on though! My friend Courtney over at One Mom's Perfect Imperfections has been doing something a little extra for me! I have sent her a few of these pics and she has done some remarkable editing to them! You see I have PSE8 but it just aint my thang.. yet ;) I knew I had some quality shots and I wanted them to reach their full potential. I called in the pro to see what she could do! She def. did not let me down.. you can check out what she did with them here (she also did a few of my apple pickin' shots)!! She has her own Etsy shop these days.. she sells all her prints that are on her blog (except the kiddos!) and in her store. Be sure to swing by and check them out you will be glad you did!
Well now that I have gone like wwwaaayyy just a smidge overboard and posted a ton of pics I think I will go and spend some time with that little girl. No telling what we will get into today :)
Happy Monday everyone. Hope it is a start to a great week!

Good To Go
Today was E's two year check up.. she turned two back at the end of Aug. but she had been sick so much that I wanted to wait until she was fully recovered before getting her shots and everything.
Her appointment went really well. They said that she was doing great developmentally. She could do everything on the little questionaire I had to feel out so that made me feel good that she was up to par on everything that she needed to be doing plus a few extras :)
I still have a shorty on my hands. She was only 20th percentile for her height at 32 1/2 inches tall and 50 percentile for her weight at 25lbs. So short and stocky pretty much. Even though she looks to me like she has thinned out a bunch over the past few months. Doc was not concerned at all though!
The doc did hear a very small heart murmor in my E. She said that it is pretty common in young children and most of the times they outgrow it. So for now we will just keep an eye on it and make sure it does not become an issue!
I just wanted to update ya on the girl and let ya know we were good to go! So nice to finally be able to take her to the well side of the doc's office!
Tomorrow I will become a godmommy for the second time!! I am beyond thrilled :) Seems like we have been waiting forever for Claire to make her appearance! This time tomorrw she will be here and I can not wait!
So if I am not around much this weekend know I am getting baby snuggles, taking care of my bestie, playing with the new big brother, or loving up on my own little E!
Hope everyone has a great night! I am going to be having my dad over for dinner :)
Love,
Tyler
