Mom made the adorable tennis rackets--to die for!

My sweet Niece Maisie turns THREE

I will be back with a detailed post from all 3 parties

A Baby in Cowboy Boots

This little girl is loving sliding her feet in other peoples shoes at home these days!  Her new found favorite, her big brother YY or Widee or Bubba's cowboy boots!! He is a trooper and doesn't mind at all if she has them on! 

The other night just before bath, Robin yelled for me to grab the camera and come quick!  This is what I captured--Definately a "framer" She had gone in his room (in the dark) put his boots on the correct feet and proceeded to walk up and down the hall...and gracefully I might add! 

Me and Alice say "Put your cowboy boots on because I sure am enjoying mine in this chilly weather" 

Sister's turn: Fair Part II

Finally, both my kiddos at the fair!  Let me start by saying that while I am inside getting our things together, Robin has both kids outside.  The reason being is that Alice is a bit of a clinger and likes to perch on my hip the minute I walk in the door! 

She always bolts towards the road so they, being Rob, Wiley and baby were in the road and she takes a nose dive on the asphalt!  He brings her in screaming with blood gushing down her face and I say "What did you do to her" I didn't mean it but was thinking it and it came out.  Like he pushed her down or something~ Her poor nose  :'(

After a good old peroxide to the nose and a pit stop at the W.D. for Neosporain + pain relief, we made it!
My parents brought my sister's kiddos to join us!  The boys had so much fun together and so did the girls--hard to believe that Alice can ride already. 

WARNING:  Picture overload




The best picture I could get



Her first time on the Carousel and she LOVED it so much!  When it stopped she screamed and jumped up and down, so back around we went for another ride!! 






weeeee~Holding on tight



I think this was their favorite--It is mine too!

 



Can't go to the Fair without playing "Pick up Ducks"

Maisie and Alice had so much fun riding the boats!  Sissy knew exactly what to do, hold on and steer!  Wiley was sweet and caught a duck for Alice to "choke" poor duck--wasn't but for a split second.  And Robin took her for a slide ride! 

She was fascinated by all the lights once it was dark.

I gave her a taste of my Caramel Apple with nuts and she took over!  I didn't get it back, but it was worth it because it kept her content until Wiley finished up at the dunking booth before heading home! 

In about 4 months Wiley will ask how long will it be before October gets here.  The countdown will begin and will be here before we know it!  Happy Fall to all!

Out like a light after a smash with the pavement and a night of rides and sugar!

Central Alabama Fair Part I

Candy Apple lips

The town Fair rolled around the 1st week of October again this year and it was chilly!  Baby was barely 5 months old and it was way to cold last year so she stayed with our babysitter.  Of course I was sad because I wanted her to "see" the fair or was it for everyone to "see" her--well both :)  So this year the same thing..way to cold for her to be in the night air after being sickly so she didn't get to go again :(  I just knew she would love it too!


Big boy wanted to go straight to the back this year and ride the B.I.G. rides.  I couldn't believe it and Robin rode all of them with him, except one!  As they were standing in line for the paratroopers Lucy (1st grade) and Avery (4th grade) were in front of them.  Well it was time for the girls to get on and Wiley looked at his Daddy and said "Dad can I ride with the girls" after the girls screamed...WILEY come ride with us, he was gone!  I was fearful of course because he is still a baby boy at 5, but Robin insisted he was big enough now...tear :'(

Avery, Wiley and Lucy








Swing = Me a nervous wreck!



See my fellas in the way back!



Barron and Wiley



A baby chick



Ready-Aim-FIRE



Bumper Cars

This pretty much sums up the night!  We ended it with a couple of baseball throws at the dunking booth and my little guy NAILED it!!!  And his precious face says it all as he walks away with pride that he GOT HER!!

This post is Part I of our Fair week because guess what?!!  It warmed up and we were able to take Sister Bear back on Friday--The weather was perfect and the crowd was minimal!!

Good Night and God Bless!









Ginger and Casper

A few weeks ago Robin and Wiley went to his parents for the afternoon and later Alice and I joined them. Baby is uhhhbesssssed with C.O.W.S.  she loves them and Wild Man does too!!!  Papa has had these two cows for a long time.

I am the only one awake to make sure that I got their names correct but they are the only two left and I am 90 percent certain.  We shall see when Rob reads this!!

Upward Soccer 2011

Our Soccer Player

Upward Soccer is such a great soccer program!  Every team is a winner, there are no losers and best of all--it is a Christian program.  Wiley asked last year to play and I didn't sign him up...selfishly because Alice was practically a newborn and the thought of getting a 3 month old baby up and out the door by 7:30 on a Saturday morning didn't sound great!  How's that for a run-on sentence :) 

He loves it and is really good.  The Falcons is the name of our team! He was sad to find out that Moss was on the Penguins but thankfully his other good pal Sam was on his team.

Wiley's Sis is his #1 Cheerleader!

Prayer after the game!



Happy Sister Bear!




Sam and Wiley take a break!

 What a beautiful weekend we had! The weather was nice and the sun was shining.  We had two birthday parties and they were both so stinking cute!! Stay tuned for pictures.  Saturday was a 1st birthday for Foster, my friend Kristen's beautiful little boy and the other was for Anne Frances who turned 6--SIX, hard to believe!!

Have a wonderful week!

Lobster Time

A few weeks ago, my friend Meredith sent out a mass email asking if any of us gals wanted to go to the Lobster Fest.  I have been only once and I think it was before I even had Wiley, so I was game!  At the time, I didn't even think about what week it was and it was bad timing--but I went anyway and so glad I did.  My dinner was delish and the company wasn't too shabby.  Meredith always makes me laugh every.single.time. I am with her and my other favorite girls, Lauren and Whitney.  We only took 3 pictures, well maybe 4 if you count the one that M took of the man that looked like her Daddy from afar and the camera flash went off in his face--yep she is crazy like that ;) 

Just seated!

The Lobster~Y.U.M.



YUCK~What's left!

Thankfully Bradford was sitting next to me and helped  well actually she did it all--She was so sweet and got all my lobster meat out for me!  It was so delicious.  Fun night--Thanks friends! What great company you always are.
