Trick or Treat 09 (2 weeks late)

So Halloween has come and gone and I am just now getting pictures loaded-I left my camera at a friends house, thus the delay!!

Marlee had a fantastic Halloween! It was fun to see her really enjoy it this year! I think the part she enjoyed the most was trying to gnaw into all the candy that she received-she's got teeth like a rabbit that can get through just about anything! She did get a few tastes of chocolate and enjoyed chewing through a few boxes of Nerds (promptly dumping them all over the car)! Maybe next year she'll be able to enjoy the candy a little bit more! This year Marlee and her buddy Parker were dressed up as Raggedy Ann and Andy! My mom did a fantastic job of making their costumes! They were too cute! Our first trick or treat stop was Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house (Kendall's parents)! Afterward, we met up with Jenn, Mike, and Parker and visited Rick and Lorelei (they give out awesome candy by the way) then went to see cousin Courtney (ne-ne)! At Courtney's house, we all decided to take the kids to visit a few houses in their culd-a-sac! It was great! We also stopped by Nate & Alissa's house then ended up at the Plunkert's for chili! What a fun afternoon/evening we had! Looking forward to next year!!!

Pretty Toes

Marlee had her first pedicure play date!! Two weeks ago, Marlee, Sailer, and Charlotte met at Pigtails and Crewcuts (a kids haircut salon) to get pedicures! I knew Marlee would love it because when she finds my nailpolish, she tries to paint her own toenails!!
It was so cute to see all the girls get their toes done!! I'm sure this won't be the last pedicure playdate!!











showing off her "pretty" toes!












Charlotte and Marlee sure did enjoy checking out all the goodies!









3 pretty girls with pretty toes!!

Pumpkin Patch 09

Look at how much the girls have grown since last year!

What a beautiful day it was today-perfect to visit the pumpkin patch! We met Courtney, "Aud-ree", and James at the Due West Methodist pumpkin patch! The girls had a great time running around, picking up pumpkins, sitting on them, and trying to pick them up! What a huge difference than last year!

Marlee's first trip to the fair!

Last week, while I was out at a soccer game, Marlee got to go to the North Georgia State Fair for the first time with Kendall and his parents (Granddaddy and Grandmommy)! I was sad that I missed out on her first trip, but was excited to hear all about what she saw there! You can see in the pictures that Marlee had a great time!!
What a beautiful day!!

Gotta play games at the fair! Marlee loves ducks!

She picked the right duck and won a little stuffed duck! She carried it around the whole afternoon, but for some reason, it never made it home!

Check out that elephant!

and camel

and those goats!

Looking at all of those animals is exhausting! Gotta take a juice break!

sweet bunnies!

Riding on the carousel horse!

A month ago? really?

Proud dads and their girls!

Marlee's makeshift "seat" made out of packaging inside a box!

Aren't they so cute? It wouldn't be a blog entry without new pictures of Marlee and Courtney! They love to play together and to go on storytime outings to Barnes and Noble (below)!

I really can't believe that my last post was a month ago! Actually, I can believe it, because we have been so busy with nothing in particular that it does feel like the month has flown by! I can't believe it's already October and that we're right on the footsteps of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!!!!

Marlee is now 17 months old! And I can't believe that in a few weeks she'll be 18 months and halfway to her 2nd birthday! She is such a joy! Everyday is something new, a new skill or a new word! Her personality is so much fun to watch, whether she's asking for a "nack" or wanting to give the doggies a "teet" (treat), or dragging a piece of cardboard box into the living room to make a seat, she never ceases to amaze us with what she's doing or wants! We are so proud of her!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Parker!

This past Saturday we celebrated Parker's 2nd birthday!! Jenn did a great job of planning a great Elmo/Sports party! The kids and adults had a great time!

Party time!!

Ready to eat some pizza!

Marlee's first encounter with a slice of pizza-normally she just gets it in little bites!

Not too bad, until she swiped like every slice of pizza she could see!! (i didn't get pics of that)


Yummy Elmo cupcakes!!

All of the kids ready to sing "Happy Birthday"!

Parker and his daddy, Mike, blowing out his candle!

Marlee doesn't waste anytime digging in!

No hands!

Luke isn't wasting anytime either digging into his cupcake!

A kiss for the birthday boy!!

Luke-finished with his cupcake!

Courtney sat for the longest time watching all the kids make a mess with the cupcakes. I know she was thinking about how she was going to eat her cupcake and not make a mess!

Taking little tiny bites from the bottom!

Still no frosting anywhere!

Careful now...

After eating cupcakes and getting messy, time to get wet!

Playing in Parker's water table!

Courtney loves pouring water over Marlee's head!

And then poured some over hers!

Soaking wet, but having so much fun!

Plane!!
