Build-A-Bear Adventure

The other day we went to Build-A-Bear for Anna Claire's Birthday party.

Her actual birthday was back in August but we had fun celebrating it again!

Ellie had never been in Build-A-Bear and I wans't sure what she was going to think about it.

Now I know without a doubt that we will not be back for a while!

While all the other kids were having fun making their animals....Ellie did ALOT of this!

She had a small obsession with these dogs on roller skates and she wanted to pull them EVERYWHERE!!!

Like all over the mall. Which was a disaster.

But we made it through :)

Happy Birthday...again!

Anna Claire!

Pumpkin Patch

The other day we headed out to Old Baker Farm to get us a pumpkin.

It was really crowded but Ellie and her friend Blair had a good time!

I started looking back at her pumpkin patch pics from last year and she has changed SO much!

Ellie and Blair look for the "Perfect" Pumpkin!

(Well actually I think Ellie was showing Blair some weeds )

Ellie and Matt searching through the pumpkins

Me and Ellie waiting for our hayride back!

One "problem" we did have is that we got stuck out in the pumpkin patch for a little while and on the hayride for a little while because of the civil war reenactment. They were all taking is very, very serious so there was not really much we could to but how do you explain this to 2 18 month olds?!?

Soccer Game

Saturday morning we went to see Anna-Claire play soccer!

Ellie loved it out there. She kept trying to run after the ball.

Maybe in a few years she will play too!

Sweet girls!

Boo at the Zoo!

Friday Night we met Ellie's other cousin named Riley " Riley Grace" I guess we will have to call her :) at Davenports for pizza then headed to the Zoo for some Boo!

My sister is making Ellie a lamb costume but it was not ready yet so we borrowed a frog costume for the night.

We had a good time!

Here is Ellie in her frog costume!

She was LOVING the candy!

On the train!

Catching a ride!

3rd Pink Luncheon!

Yesterday afternoon was the 3rd Annual Pink Luncheon...

That actually was a Shrimp Boil this year!

Everything was so nice.

The weather was a little cool but it was nice too!

Ellie was so excited to be there!

She always loves large crowds where she is the center of attention :)

Ellie, Matt, and her Mawmaw

Ellie and her cousin that were there...

All the girls had matching shirts that we made!

The group of my mother-in-law's friends that helped with the luncheon...

We had a great day....

AND raised close to $9000

YAY!!!

Fall Fun at the Farm!

Sunday night we went to our sweet friend, Leah's parent farm and had a fall party/ small group get together there!

We had a great time!

Ellie just loved it there!

Ellie and Hunter on the tractor!

All the babies...minus Blair.

She decided she did not want to be a part of the baby pictures :)

Ellie kissing on Hunter!

Sweet little L...being silly!

On the hay!

Having fun in the jumping house

Happy to be at the Farm!

Shrimp Festival

We made on last trip to the beach the past weekend for the Shrimp Festival!

Ellie was a fan of the fun for about 30 minutes then she was over it!

Here are a few pics from our trip!

She finally decided to keep her sunglasses on.

She looked so cute in them!

She had so much fun watching all the airplanes!

She was center stage while she stood in the middle of the stage and showed everybody how it was done. The singer said " If we were all dancing like her we would be having a GREAT time!"

We also went for a swim in the bay. The water was a little cool but she loved it anyways!

Good Bye till next year Beach!

18 Month Pictures

Last week we met our sweet friend Kim as the Botanical Gardens and had Ellie's 18 month pictures taken. Here are just a few of the 122 that were taken :)

Not to sure about sitting in a tree...

Cookout, Cousins and Friends

Saturday Night we had a few people over for a cookout.

Ellie wore her sweet Alabama pillowcase dress that her super talented Aunt Melissa made for her.

She looked so cute!

She has lots of fun playing with her cousins and friends!

Ellie and A.C.

Homestead Hollow

Saturday we headed out to Homestead Hollow.

It is one of our favorite fall things to do with Aunt Melissa and we look foward to it every year!

I thing Ellie enjoyed herself too!

There was lots for her to do, lots of people to watch her and lots and lots of yummy food to eat!

She had her first taste of cotton candy and now I am pretty sure she would eat it for every meal if I would let her :)

She also found herself a pet duck on a stick and went crazy about it.

And she loved, loved, loved the petting zoo!

Here she is greating the animals!
