Boo by Baxter

We are ready for cold weather around here. I have had my eye on this jacket at Walmart since the end of July. Finally! It became half off. I wore James down and he let me buy our precious puppy a styling jacket! Come on fall! (I got him to pose like this by holding his pumpkin man in the air. He will do anything to get his toy back!)






We also bought Baxter a pumpkin man. It has a plastic water bottle on the inside that can be changed. It makes a great crunch sound. Dont forget to notice the pumpkin collar! (It was bought in the dollar spot!) I have never seen a dog LOVE toys like him! He plays with all of them and gets so excited when he get a new one! At times he will even have two in his mouth! Yes, I know I spoil him.

House Updated

James decorated the top of our cabinets. This is a plate we bought while we were in Mexico.

These chickens remind me of my mom!




The painting we bought for above our fireplace.


We made a floral arrangement for our dining room table.


The final product

On our run to Hobby Lobby for a couple more flowers, James decided he wanted a cupcake. The fourth grade teachers pointed out Ganache Cupcakes while they were making fun of me for being a yuppie. Well, we decided that we would try it out!

Precious Moments with Hannah

We were blessed by the company of Hannah today! Wes and Shelly had to attend a meeting and we watched the baby... who is quickly growing up to be a big girl. I am not sure who had more fun, us or her? :-) Here are some of the activities we did.

Baby Toes

Splashing in the puddles.

Coloring and putting stickers on with Uncle James (Yes, we are outside because that is her favorite place!)

Cooking with Rice while Aunt Jenn and Uncle James cooked real dinner

Eating goldfish while listening to praise songs.

More Picture with Hannah

Gosh! We took a lot of pics with Miss Hannah. We sure did enjoy watching her! (Maybe one day we will have our own! Just not sure if we can give up the sleep yet. ) Once we got her to sleep Friday night, she slept the whole night. This we were very thankful for. :-) On Saturday, we went to the donut store and Hannah just had to have a taste of ours. Her waffle was just not as exciting! We went outside and played in the pool. When it was nap time, we all took a LONG nap. Before Shelly and Wes returned, we wanted to make sure she was nice and sweet, so we took her for one more treat. We went and got snowcones; only this time, Hannah had her own. I love being the aunt so I can spoil (and then send home!) Miss Hannah has blessed our lives so much by her endless giggles, screams of joy, and cuddles! Thank you, Lord, for this precious child.


This is a cat toy that I bought Baxter. He loves to hunt for the little critter. Hannah decided to try it out.


Uncle James is showing Hannah how to throw water at Aunt Jenn. Good thing he didn't get the camera wet!

J is for Jello with Jenn and James

Hannah Reads a Book

Everyone always teases me because I always give Hannah a book with every gift. I am a firm believe in books. (Mainly because I love reading so much myself!!!) I love sitting with Hannah to read. James and I drove to Walmart while Hannah read us a story from the back.

Hannah Stays the Night

On Friday, we had the privilege of watching Hannah overnight! Of course we had to keep her busy so she wouldn't miss Mommy and Daddy too much. When I arrived it was time for Hannah's nap. Once we got up we went outside to play. I have NEVER seen a child want to be outside ALL the time. When James arrived home, we played with the water table. Below are a few pics from Friday!
