trick-or-treat!

for halloween, emma dressed up like a ballerina:


ummmm....the cutest little ballerina you ever did see!


And yes, the dogs were dressed in "costume" as well!


we decided to use our wagon this year for trick or treating:


with our favorite fireman, Gibson!



emma was a little reserved at the doors but she sure did love the candy!

our first pumpkin patch

emma and I met Tait and John Allen in Clanton to visit our first pumpkin patch:



they also had a small petting zoo which the kiddos loved!



emma had her first tractor ride:


and loved looking at all the pumpkins!


such a fun, fun day:


with friends we LOVE!

a halloween parade

a group of moms organized a "parade" around the homewood park with their kiddos dressed in their halloween costumes. our playgroup met and miss ballerina rode in her stroller:



and lucky for us, mimi came and joined us!

more birthdays!

you are NOT going to believe who is turning TWO!!??!!


yep, this precious blonde headed, blue eyed preciousness who melts my heart into a puddle.


we gave him a chainsaw because that's the kind of people we are. he now sleeps with it.


and charlie got to pick out the plates, napkins, candles and cake. we think he did a FABULOUS job!




since charlie and mimi share a birthday, we celebrated her's as well!


we have much love for the birthday boy:




and much love for susu too, who is such a special aunt to celebrate our special days with us!
