Pumpkin Patching & Carving

We've had a great time on our pumpkin patch adventures this year. It makes me look forward to many more to come. Weslyn had a great time running up and down the hay filled aisles, pointing at all the pumpkins.

The pumpkin carving  took place last night once Weslyn went down for bed. Nothing like carving pumpkins & watching the Lakers play for a little in-home date night:)

Happy Halloween!

An Athens Affair

Last weekend we went to Athens, GA for one of my best friend's wedding. Audrey was a BEAUTIFUL bride and let me tell you, girl knows how to throw a wedding. It was awesome. Everything was fantastic. Each event, all of the venues, and the people were the best part.  My people. My friends who I literally grew up with.  You know those people who really speak your language? The ones who laugh at the same stupid things you laugh at and the ones who you can be offensively inappropriate with? These are those people for Lawton & me. They also hold a special place in my heart because they knew Lawton & me before we were "Lawton & me." This group is how I met Lawton in the first place. We were all a bunch of over-sized teenagers when we met and now we're adults...for the most part.We still know how to have a great time together (even with our old age) and a great time we had. I seriously had not had this much fun in a long time. My parents were in attendance as well and took great care of Weslyn during the evening so we could spend time with friends. We stayed up way past our bed time every night talking, hanging out and dancing the night away. Needless to say, I can't wait until the next time we're all together.

Our Walking Monkey

About a week after Weslyn turned 1 she took her first steps. I wish I had it on camera, but every time I got the camera out she dropped to her knees as fast as she could to crawl over to me. Really, to crawl over to the shiny camera. Anyway, the last few weeks she's been taking more and more steps. She's now moving pretty quickly and walks more than she crawls. It's amazing to watch this little girl grow up so fast. I'm so blessed to be her Momma.

She's also learned three animals sounds. Monkey (which was her first and best), elephant and sheep. It's been pretty fun to hear all the sounds and verbally communicate with her. Even if we're talking "monkey" together.

Here are some videos of her new developments. She takes a little spill in her walking video, but proves to be a tough girl. Also, please don't judge me for how messy my house is. Thanks :)
