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

Fall Crafting

We have been doing some fall crafting around here thanks to Pinterest :)

I had been wanting to do something with Ellie'e feet and found this idea.

I thought it turned out cute.

Her feet are just about too big for this frame.

I will have to go up to a 8x10 next time...haha!

I also found this idea too on Pinterest but I modified it a little bit.

I did it at "Girls Night Out/ Craft Night" the other night with our small group friends!

I thought it turned out pretty cute too but I might like the original orange pumpkin with black buttons better.

And lastly my fall pumpking door hanger!

I love the way it turned out!

Hooray for fall decorations!!!

Recipes to try

So I have had a few recipes that I have been wanting to try.

The first is Peanut Butter Cripsies

The recipe is here

http://www.keepitsimplefoods.com/vegetarian/peanut-butter-coconut-crispies/

I modified it a little bit.
http://www.keepitsimplefoods.com/vegetarian/peanut-butter-coconut-crispies/Here is what I used...

I used chocolate chips instead of coconut since Ellie is crazy for mini chocolate chips.

I used butter instead of coconut oil because I couldn't fint it at Target :)

I used creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy.

And I used honey instead of agave nectar because I dont even know what agave nectar is or where to find it.

Oh yeah and I added some raisons on Ellie's side to try and get some fruit in...

Ok so I modified it ALOT!

It turned out pretty good but Ellie still prefers Quacker Chewy Granola Bars to my homemade.

Oh well...at least I try!

The other recipe was S'mores Popcorn

The recipe is here

http://www.nestofposies-blog.com/2011/07/smores-popcorn.html

And it turned out great...or so I thought

Until Matt asked me if I had made it up because it was really "random" according to him..HA!

And now that I am FINALLY on Pinterest I have even more new recipes I wanna try!
