Ella's First Birthday!

I can't believe Cousin Ella is ONE YEAR OLD already! Time is flying by!

Ashlyn gets up at 6:30...everyday....even on the weekends. One pro of her early bird tendencies is that we were awake in plenty of time to drive down to Pinson to see my nephew Hayden play on his football team! I loved getting to see my sister and her husband and all three kiddos!!! We had lunch together after at McDonald's so all the kids could play together in the Indoor Playplace. Such a fun day!

Random

Couple random pictures to share. :) Ashlyn was invited to one of her classmates' birthday party. We loved the trampoline! She wasn't too keen on the idea of them painting her cheek, but she compromised and was willing to let someone paint her hand. :) She was very pleased with her butterfuly.

We'll do just about anything for dinnertime entertainment. Ashlyn thought this was so much fun! LOL! I'm sure the other people at the restaurant were so sorry to see us leave. <Insert Sarcasm> HaHa!

Destin

David took the opportunity to participate in a guy's fishing weekend at the beach around Mid-October. I told him I had no intention of staying cooped up at home why he enjoyed the sunny shores!!!! So Ashlyn and I packed up for a girl's weekend with my life-long friend Olivia and her girls! It was a short trip, but we packed it full of fun! We couldn't have asked for better weather!

Huntsville Trip

Olivia and I both had to be in Huntsville on the same weekend in late September, so we came up with a fabulous plan to just rent a hotel room and have a girl's night on Friday night! It turned out to be a super fun weekend, but no thanks to my sweet, little, goof ball of a daughter who decided that no one needed to sleep that night! Too much excitement, paired with too long of a nap on the way up to Huntsville resulted in screaming fits being pitched until I finally caved and hauled her down to the car, buckled her in her seat and drove her around suburbian Huntsville at 1am in the morning. Guess who woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed right on time at 6:30am...you guessed it. We all had breakfast and headed out to a special day they were having at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. We really did have a blast there!

Alabama v. Western Kentucky - Skybox Style!

We were so excited when someone gave skybox tickets to David for the Western Kentucky game! The food and beverages were yummy and the view was exceptional! Roll Tide!!!
