First snow!

We had the most beautiful snow Thursday night! Not only was it the first snow of the season, but it was probably the most snow I've witnessed since we moved to Nashville over 5 years ago!

Our house Thursday night!

Our house Friday morning!

The girls all bundled up and ready to go outside!

Olivia loved the snow!

Madi pretty much stayed in this exact position the whole time!

Olivia got to play with her friends!

She's here with her best buddy, Maddie Grace.

Scout, Nati, Grant & Drew were out too!

Even Chandler got to come out and play with DJ and Daisy!

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween! We started the day by going to the pumpkin patch. It was so awesome! We went on a hay rack ride and Olivia loved all the animals!

That evening Olivia and Madi dressed up as Dora the Explorer and Boots! They were so cute! Olivia's "boy friend" Isom, came over and dressed up as Diego and her BFF Maddie Grace dressed up as Tinkerbell! They had a blast going trick or treating together!

What a fun month!

Well it's been awhile since my last blog, but things have been going really well! Olivia is in and out of her "terrible 2s" and as of lately she has been such a sweetheart!!! Madi is FINALLY sleeping through the night!! YAY!! I knew this day would eventually come, but I'm so glad it's here. Madi is such a good baby! She is so laid back and giggles all the time. I love this age!

Olivia just started gymnastics last week and already LOVES it! I, however, do not love her teacher but that's probably because I was a gymnastics teacher for years and he just doesn't teach the way I would. So I'm a little overly critical. What else is new! ANYWAYS.... the point is, she loves it and is having a blast! She is also starting to communicate so much better. Some of her favorite phrases are "What are ya doin?" (in her best southern belle accent,) "I do it." "Come here." and "Be right back" (which usually means she'll be going to do something she's not supposed to!) I still have yet to cut her hair. I go back and forth about every other week. Some days I think it would look so cute in a little bob, but then there are days when I love it long and the fact that I'm able to put it up in a ponytail with bows. :) We are dabbling in potty training and we have some good days and some bad days. I am definitely open to advice in this area!!! She is absolutely in love with her sister and I swear would claim her as her own daughter if she could. She is constantly wanting to feed her and play with her and so far hasn't gotten jealous of her. I'm sure that will all change as soon as Madi is big enough to fend for herself! haha

Madi is just wonderful. She went through a really tough stage for about 3 months, but ever since the "colic" went away, things have been so much better. She is such a chunky monkey! She has got those rolly polly thighs that you just can't help but squeeze! She is eating cereal and fruits and vegetables and LOVES it all! haha Oh and she loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She will just sit and watch it and laugh the whole time! I've got video of it I'll try to post! She can almost sit up without support but is taking her time in the rolling and crawling department. She just strikes me as the personality type that is not in any hurry! Wonder where she gets that from!

Well anyways, there's a little update! Hope you're all doing well!!

I decided to start a new blog all about stuff that I like. As most business owners will tell you, word of mouth is usually the best advertisment! Well I decided to start my own blog with this very theme! wordofmouth blog was already taken :( so I had to go with a different name and decided to give wordpress a try as well. Maybe I'll blog about which one is better! haha

Please check it out and post comments about whether you like it as well or not and feel free to post what you like in that catagory instead!!
