Happy Half Birthday and Pumpkin Bread!

That's right!

Today was Little L's 1/2 Birthday!

She is 18 months!

Wow!

I just cannot believe it!

She looked a little suprised or maybe just confused this morning when I told her she was 18 months old and sang her the birthday song!

Then she did some silly little tricks for me!

Then we tried out a new recipe for Pumpkin Bread with two..yes thats right!

Two Ingredient!

I felt guilty only using two things so I made a drizzle for it with powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon!

So very good!

And a great way to celebrate!

* I will do her full 18 month post after our doctor visit next week*

Please Pray

My Sisters friend, Becca had a baby back in August.

They knew when she was pregnant that he had a heart defect and found out right before he was born that he also has a Diaphragmatic Hernia, which caused him to be very, very sick.

You can read her blog here:

For some reason I just cannot stop thinking about her and her sweet baby Levi today and I just wanted to ask everybody to please pray for them.

I cannot imagine what she is going through right now.

It hurts my heart to think what she is feeling right now.

One of my coworkers once said " There is nothing worse in the world than hearing a Momma cry for her baby" and I believe this is so very true. I know I cannot even begin to count the number of tears she has shed for this sweet, precious baby.

Please pray hard and often for this sweet little baby.

Happy Fall!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

BIG "Smile"

We had a great time yesterday enjoying this beautiful weather and visiting with Ellie's sweet cousins, Rileigh and River!

Ellie and Rileigh just love eachother.

It is so sweet watching the two of them play together!

Sweet picture of the three of them.

Not What We Expected

We had BIG plans for Sunday.

My cousin was getting married in Huntsville here...

So we woke up early went to early church and headed up to Huntsville after picking up my other cousin Whitney to ride with us.

Well Little Missy was kind of fussy of the way up there but I just figured it was because she had somebody in the backseat with her and she is a backseat hog.

She fell asleep but didn't sleep long and when she woke up she was just really, really fussy.

So we made it to Huntsville, stopped to go to the bathroom and get a drink.

Ellie was still really fussy when we got out and didn' t want me to put her down.

We went in the store and we were waiting to go to the bathroom and Ellie threw up all over me and all over her.

She has never been sick to her stomach before so I am sure she was so scared of what had just happened. So we stripped her down, changed her clothes, got it all cleaned and got me wiped off. We loaded back up in the car and headed to the mall for me to find another dress to wear. We both just kind of thought she had eaten something that had hurt her stomach so we were still going to try to make it to the wedding.

Well... I went on into the mall, found a dress tried it on bought it and I was good to go until I realized I had lost my phone and Matt, Ellie and Whitney were somewhere in the mall. I looked all over for it....COULD NOT FIND IT!

Then I hear Matt screaming from across the store...haha! Its funny ..NOW.

He was holding Ellie. She was almost naked her had just his undershirt on .

She has gotton sick again!

So we just loaded our selves up and right back to Birmingham.

She was sick, sick all yesterday afternoon and night.

It was so pitiful....

Matt must have felt really bad for her because he went to the store to get her some Pedialyte and came home with half a dozen white roses and M&Ms for when she gets to feeling better.

What a sweet daddy :)

We were sad that we did not get to see the wedding.

I know it was beautiful!

Congratulations Daisy and Josh!

Crazy Girl!

Ellie looked so cute the other day in her dress I tried to take a few pictures.

But this is what I got instead...

And this....

She finally started acting a little better...

Then she gave me her "smile"

Gotta love it!

She can be such a crazy, silly little girl!

Kitchen Help

************************************************************

This morning me and my little helper made some pumpkin bread.

She was happy and very eager to help!

What a great little helper she was!

She helped me sift the flower and use the mixer....

I though it turned out yummy...

Little missy didn't think so though.

She would not have anything do to with it...

Oh well.

I guess that mean I will have to eat it by myself.

These boots are make for walkin'

Little Miss Ellie has a small obsession with shoes...boots in particular.

She loves to get them on and stomp all over the house.

These boots here were her daddy's when he was little and they are extra good stompin boots because they make LOTS of noises when you walk :)

Stomping around her room

Showing off her boots

"Smiling" for the camera

This is her new look.

She does it whenever she is concerned or worried about something.

It. Cracks. Me. Up.

Silly little L
