Five on Friday!

1.  We took our little fashionista to the Great Pretenders show last Saturday night.  I am obsessed with this vest that she almost refused to wear!  I will always be jealous of this girl's wardrobe.

2.  We got a special treat last week.  Daddy invited us to eat Thanksgiving lunch with him at school.  Ellie was thrilled to see all the big kids!

3.   My sweet babies (or twins) before church.  I could just eat them up.

4.  I've been able to get away for TWO different girls nights lately.  They were both much needed and SO MUCH FUN!  Painting with a Twist with college Bff's and Justin Timberlake with high school Bff's.  Doesn't get much better than that!

5.  Miller turned 6 months old this week!  (I know, still haven't even done a 5 month post)  That means he is officially ready for baby food and a high chair.  Sweet sweet baby.  I am very thankful he's had a great week!

Catch-all

Once again, no time for the poor blog!  Excuse this random catch-all post...I at least want to attempt to document a few things we've had going on.  As usual, our life is a constant GO GO GO.  We have pretty much been quarantined at home with all of Miller's illnesses but we have still stayed busy in between those times.


Football season is officially over for us.  After an almost nervous breakdown at the last game, I can't say I'm that sad we will have a break from the Friday Night Lights.

We had lots of Halloween fun this past week.  Ellie and Miller went as a football player and cheerleader.  I guess E was over being a cheerleader by the time our last Halloween event rolled around because she decided she was going to be Snow White.  A girl needs options!

Before church yesterday...pretty girl!

We went to our buddy Elam's 4th Annual Halloween party and had a great time, as usual!

Sweet little pumpkins before church last week.

Miller had ear tubes put in last week.  Bless his heart...this hospital gown about broke my heart!  He has been such a trooper lately and seems to feel MUCH better already!

Daddy carved Ellie a cat pumpkin this year.  She loved it!

 Me and my girl before Trick or Treating.  Trying to stop and enjoy these crazy times!

Karen was so sweet to offer to take Ellie to the basketball games with her on Saturday.  Ellie had a great time and felt so big riding to eat afterwards with Matti.  Sweet girls!

Five on Friday

TGIF!!!!!

I love this little "Five on Friday" link up and I really love Fridays!

1.  Ellie is still in Bartlett with Peeps and DeDe and Don has an away game tonight.  Mammie offered to keep Miller for me tonight so I can go to Don's game.  Thank you Mammie!  It will be nice to go and watch a whole game (and hopefully WIN!)

2.  Tomorrow morning bright and early Don and I are headed to Oxford, MS to cheer on the Rebels against LSU!  I am sure it will be a great game.  We have sideline/IPF passes again this year and can't wait to see some old LU friends.  Can't believe this time last year when we went I was 7 weeks along with baby Miller.  What a year it has been!

3.  Miller reached another little milestone yesterday...he rolled over!  I of course missed it just like with Ellie, but he did it again later on and has been a little roly poly ever since!

4.  Those of you that know me well know that this little trick Miller has picked up terrifies me.  And his father is less than thrilled.  That's all I am going to say!  (But it is kinda cute!)

 5.  Check out my little twins!  This picture really doesn't show how alike they really look but I can't get over the fact that M is 5 months and E was 9!  He is HUGE!!!!  Love my little football babies!

DeDe to the rescue

This is SO me.  Ha ha!!!  Poor DeDe must have heard the cry for help in my voice last week.  She came back for 4 more days to help.  We welcomed her with open arms!

While she was here we broke out the doorway jumper.  Thank goodness Miller is a fan!

(and big sis is never far away from him...she couldn't miss out on a big even like "first time jumping"!)

She and Ellie also made the cutest Halloween cupcakes while she was here.  Ellie loves to be a kitchen helper.

Don was on Fall break while she was here and let the team have Monday off.  We took advantage and took Ellie to Jackson to shop, eat and run a few errands.  We had fun!!!

She sadly left Tuesday afternoon but took Ellie home with her!  She is finishing out her "fall break" (no dance, church or Awana) with Peeps and DeDe.  I can tell from these pictures that she isn't having any fun AT ALL. Ha!

Thank you DeDe for always running to our rescue and loving my babies!!!

Fire Prevention

Every year in October, Greenfield hosts their annual Fire Prevention Festival.  It is a week full of spaghetti suppers, carnivals, a parade, and so much more.  Mrs. Carla (Ellie's babysitter) arranges for the Fire Chief, the fire trucks and Fire Pup to visit her house during Fire Prevention week.  All of the kids wore matching shirts and had a fun day of fire truck rides!  I stayed home with Miller but Mrs. Carla and Ella's mom were sweet enough to take pictures and send them to me.

I had Miller a shirt made before he got sick.  He of course had to wear it too even though we stayed home!

RSV?  What RSV??  Sweet baby.

 

DeDe came up Saturday morning and stayed with Miller while we took Ellie to the carnival. parade and reunion.

We even managed to sneak out on a little "date" Saturday night.  Thank you DeDe!

The Punkin Patch

Before we knew Miller had pneumonia, we decided to get out on a pretty Saturday afternoon, dress the kids up and head over to the pumpkin patch.  I had already bought most of my pumpkins but we still had to go for our yearly trip and photo shoot.  This year we had another addition to our clan and I think we got some really great pictures!

Taylor "Swip"

A few weeks back, I got the chance to head out on a last minute girls trip to Nashville to go to the Taylor Swift concert!  It was a much needed day away and we had a great time.  I have always liked Taylor's music but I can officially say that I am now a big fan.  She puts on a great show.  Ellie would have loved it!  Next time she is in town we will have to go back together.

A two hour drive flies by when you have 3 good friends to chat with.  We made it there in no time!

We stopped and shared some nachos before the show then made our way to our SUITE seats!  We just so happened to be next to the Ryman Suite where cast members from the show Nashville were sitting.  So fun!

Such a fun show.

We had so much fun that we decided we were going to plan some sort of outing/get together once a month.  We better get busy planning for October!!!

Ellie has now become a big fan herself and is obsessed with listening to Taylor and watching her on YouTube.  I had to share this video of her singing "22"!
