Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch

I never got around to getting back on here and posting pics

from our trip to the corn maze/ pumpkin patch so here

ya go. You may remember our trip from last year.

We had such a good time with friends and

family. My granny even went with us.

Riding the little train with Grisham!

 Playing with the water troph

Just a swinging!

Back at the water troph...this was hands down

her favorite thing there!

We took a little hayride to go pick pumpkins!

My Little Pumpking

My nephew Tyler

Our group!

I wasn't sure how she would act getting her face painted

but she did so good I could believe it.

Isn't she adorable?

All 3 kiddos with their faces painted.

Last was the corn maze and we all had so much fun.

Even if we did get a little lost :)

And all of that fun had one little girl wore out!



Pumpkin Pickin'

Heart Walk

If you remember me posting from this summer

my Dad had a few heart attacks and had triple

bypass surgery. Well this weekend was the

American Heart Association Walk for 2010

and we were proud to walk. It started off

to be a cold morning but ended up being the

perfect day.

The Survivor

All of us before the race started!

Papaw & Mamaw

All of the survivors lead the way...

my Dad is in the middle with white shirt!

The walk was 3 miles but as he was making a turn

he seen us and cut across so he ended up walking

almost 4 miles. We were very proud of him!



A Little Update

Talk about a bloggy break. I haven't updated in so long

that I'm kind of ashamed. I have kept up with everyone's

blogs but rarely comment and I know I should do better.

I'm in first level nursing clinicals and boy let me tell ya.

I feel like all I do is study and spend time with Aleigha.

Speaking of Aleigha, she is quite the character lately.

She says and does some of the craziest stuff. For example...

We buy chocolate syrup to put in her milk sometimes, well I

bought the strawberry kind for her to try. She is used

to saying chocolate milk so when she wants the strawberry

she'll say "i want strawberry chocolate milk". I try to explain

that she doesn't have to put the chocolate in there b/c it's just

strawberry milk so needless to say we are constantly

laughing at her.  The last few months

seem as if they flew by. We haven't been up to much.

Mainly spending time with family & friends when

we get a chance.

Aleigha loves playing dress up. She doesn't care

if it's make up or nail polish, she wants it on!

We went out of town to see Henry's family last weekend

and I put some makeup on her because we weren't going

anywhere. She thought she was something else!

Here she is getting her nails painted by her cousin.



We also celebrated Henry's 27th birthday a

few weeks ago.

Here are some randoms from the last few weeks.

Bedtime stories...

Ready for school!

Cooking away...



Oh yeah, we are also in potty training mode around here

too. She is catching on but still doesn't have the hang of

it just yet. We're trying not to be to pushy and just

 let her adjust on her own schedule. Hopefully in

the next few weeks we'll have it under control.

I promise to update more often, I've just got to get

on a better schedule. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

Were participating in the American Heart Association walk

tomorrow morning. I'm excited to go and support since

everything that went on with my Dad the last few months.

More of July

Once my dad got out of ICU we were able to take

Aleigha to visit him. She wasn't to sure at first but

she warmed up a little.

We bought Papaw some candy & balloons!

Other than frequent trips to the hospital we spent

time dancing in the rain....

and going to the park.

Tyler and his fake smile :)

We got out her carwash from last year and she

enjoyed that.

One afternoon we were playing outside and

she wanted in her sand/water table so I

let her. She plays with this thing alot but I

think this is the longest she ever played in it.

Who knew getting in it would be so much fun!

She got wet from the water and ended up playing

in the nude :)

My friend Kelly is a Scentsy seller so I had a

party and invited friends and family and we

had so much fun. Our stuff should be in this

week and I can't wait!

My Aunt Buddy came for the party and brought

Aleigha a gift sack full of candy. She didn't know where

to start in that bag. She pulled everything out. She

loves her candy!

We also went to a skating birthday party for a friends

little girl. Here's Aleigha & Addison in their skates.

I thought they were so cute. Aleigha didn't want

them on at first but once we got them on her she

didn't want to take them off. She had alot of fun at

Harleigh's party!

That just about sums up last month...now I can try to

get back on a regular schedule of blogging. I hope

everyone is having a great week!

Long Overdue

Wow....I haven't had an actual post in over a month.

So much has happened in the last month it is unreal.

I'm going to try and sum up the last month in pictures

because this post is long overdue.

Right after the 4th of July we packed up and headed

on vacation with Henry's family. The first day we went

to Hurrican Harbor and not 10 minutes after being there

a thunderstorm hit so everyone had to leave. They did

give everyone a rain check so that was nice.

We were waiting outside the gate on everybody

and miss priss found a little spout pouring out

water and it kept her occupied.

Since the rain messed up most of our day we went

back to the hotel and swam for hours.

All of that swimming had Aleigha zonked out! 

The next morning we got up and head to Six Flags!

It was so hot outside but we made the most of it

and had a great time. There weren't but maybe 7 rides

that Aleigha could actually get on but she rode them

more times than I can count.

We bout a little misting fan to keep Aleigha cool while she took a nap.

And she wasn't to fond of all the characters walking around either, as you can

tell by the look on her face :)

She loved the swings!

The next day was supposed to spent at the Dallas Aquarium

but it was under renovation so we let the kids swim all morning

and then we headed home!

The next day we celebrated the girls birthday. They

had such a good birthday. I think their American

Girl dolls were their favorites!

In the meantime I was spending most of my days

at the hospital. My dad had triple bypass surgery.

Such a scary thing to go through especially

when your dad is only 53. He got released

on the 16th, my 28th birthday, so that was enough

reason to celebrate!

Someone had to help go through all of my presents.

Here's another reason to celebrate turning

another year older :)

This post started getting long so stay tuned

to see what we were up to the last part of July!
