hi mommy :0/

hi mommy!

this is what i hear when i walk up on aubree doing something she

knows she shouldn't be doing. for example playing in my makeup.

she knows exactly how each piece is used is what i find amusing.

anyway, i thought it was cute watching her play in my makeup and

watching her put it on :)

as you can see she has the lids off of everything and giving herself

a total makeover....

that's my girl!

Mail's Here!!

aubree got mail!! we were playing outside when the mail ran so i went to check it. i noticed aubree had a letter so i thought we better let her open it inside with the camera :)

low and behold she got a halloween card from her

uncle teddy and aunt susie! the pictures posted backwards, but she slowly opened the card, then she pointed out there was a cat on the front and the cat says meow and a pumpkin too! she opened it up and money fell out. she said mommy!! money!!

thank you so much for thinking of aubree teddy and susie. it was

very sweet and thoughtful!

we love you guys :)

the bug besties

aubree got to spend all day saturday with the ballard's!

(thanks again shannon)

sine the girls are best friends they had to have similar costumes :)

shannon took these pictures of them and i am so glad she did!

they are so adorable together and i know im partial but they

are the cutest bugs in the world :)

thank you for picking up our bee costume papaw, we love you!

you say "aubree, what are you gonna be for halloween?"

aubree says "um, A BEE!"

its so stinkin cute!!

and she is also saying trick~r~treat, but refused to when we

were actually trick or treating :/

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

albo's home and there are leaves on the ground!!

aubree is home!! it is going to be a long long time before i am gonna let

her leave again. it was harder this time than ever. i often found myself sitting in her room, playing with her toys, and going through her clothes. i even caught bryan sneaking in her room a few times.

needless to say we missed her very much.

it was PERFECT weather outside today. after we got home from

church we changed our clothes and headed outside to "pay" (play).

we tried to carve a pumpkin we got at the pumpkin patch, rode our

bicycles and the beep, and played in the leaves!

we attempted to include albo on the pumpkin carving. she was very interested at first. we were talking to her about doing it and telling her how much fun it would be! she stuck her hand down in it to help daddy clean it out.... then she was DONE!! she said eeww mommie!!

she wanted absolutely nothing else to do with that slimy pumpkin.

her face here says exactly how she felt about the entire pumpkin

carving experience!

since she came home friday night we have probably kissed

each other around a million times. i missed my baby.

i love this face. she was belly laughing while we were throwing the

leaves around outside.

i think the words on her shirt sums it up :)

date nite!

so albo went to stay with my mom for the week to visit everybody.

i know she will have fun but i will really miss her :(

positive note..

bryan and i have VERY VERY few nights out to ourselves so we totally

took advantage of the opportunity.

Our Colts were playing sunday night football so we went over to

Buffalo Wild Wings to watch it on the big screens!

We had some amazing nachos, wings, and fries! yummy!

we had a good time hanging out. oddly enough we talked

about our baby girl 90% of the time :)

these wings were soooo good. bryan had the spicy garlic &

i had the hot barbecue! we shared with each other too :)

looking all cute in our #18 jerseys!

GO COLTS!!!

~bell buckle craft fair~

we started our day shopping over in the avenue. albo and i

got rae rae's birthday present and my mom got her a new pair

of shoes :)

when daddy got home we ventured over to bell buckle for their annual

craft fair. (good free entertainment) we even got to park for free!!

we had a ball! funnel cakes, fresh squeezed lemonade, chicken on a stick, and kettle korn!!

we just had fun walking around looking at all the "junk".

i didn't take many pictures. aubree wanted to push the stroller, not ride in it to make our lives easier. plus it was VERY crowded.

happy birthday eena!

my mom and step-dad came down for the weekend, it was also my mom's birthday so we "celebrated". we ordered pizza and i made a

banana pudding, (paula deen style) it was so delicious!

here is albo enjoying so puddin :)

notice her hair looks gray?

she took a bottle of baby powders and dumped them all over her hair,

the floor, the chair, the ottomans, EVERYWHERE!!

my mama opening her birthday presents from everybody.

she got some pretty good stuff :)

mom and aubree blowing out all ____ of

her birthday candles. she would kill me

if i told.

the birthday girl and my gray headed baby girl...

shew.....

this is the famous banana pudding.

not yo' mama's banana puddin.........

anyway,

happy birthday mom! i love you!!!

baby it's fall outside

we spent a little while playing outside today enjoying the weather.

it was such a pretty day!

i love watching aubree play! she has so much fun outside.

feel's like i have a little tom~boy on my hands. thats ok

as long as she still wants to look cute and wear hairbows too :)

there is nothing more important in the world than this here.

there are no words to describe the love i feel for my baby girl.

she's checking her battery before she takes off to make sure

her ride will be a safe one :)

she loves pushing this wagon around the driveway and on our sidewalk.

she gets so mad and frustrated when we make her stop there.

she wants to push it all the way out in the road which would be fine if she would let you help, however ms. independent must have full

control.

this is our little fall display we have set up in our yard. i picked this

stuff up off a a guy on the side of the road that grew all the gourds,

indian corn, and pumpkins his self. he was such a sweet old man.

albo playing peek a boo with me behind the corn stalk.

this huge smile on her face does not do justice to the belly laughing

she was doing. priceless..

here is the Big Girl on her bicycle that her papaw got

her for her birthday. she sits on it so good while one of us pulls her along. i love the helmet and knee pads, so cute!

we get so many compliments on this bicycle. all of our neighbors

think its the cutest thing ever watching her ride by.
