Sweet Girl

I found this picture of Blakely that I took several weeks ago after bath time. She is our little princess.

Halloween 2009

We had a great time at the Boyd's house this Halloween. The girls loved being with their friends and getting candy.

Blakelys Halloween Party at School

Blakely had a great Halloween party at school. She enjoyed games, crafts, dressing up and getting to trick or treat to the office at the church. She actually filled up her treat bucket full of candy. Of course Lilly was with me, because I helped with the party and she had a great time too.

The Two Dorthy's-Lilly got so excited when she saw another girl that was Dorthy-I think she really thought it was her-she just keep staring and saying Dorthy, Dorthy.

The Kids made Monster Munch-It was Yummy!!

and Lilly had to color too.
These two little fairies are inseparable at school.

Our Belt

Well Miss Lilly is such a mess these days. The past several weeks she has been taking all of her pj's or clothes off + plus the diaper during nap and when she would go to bed. There were so many nights we would find her without any clothes on laying on a wet bed. So something had to be done. I was telling my friend about it and she said she read in the parents magazine that they would use duck tape "aka belt" to put around their diapers for kids who did this. Well we got our hot pink belt and it works like a charm. I'm not sure why she started doing it. We are in the process of potty training, so maybe that is why. She is doing well with going potty and is so proud of herself when she goes. She gets off and says in her cute little voice, "I did it." Hopefully in the next couple of months I will be all free of diapers and tape-it least for the day time.

Blakely's School Pictures

Several weeks ago Blakely had school pictures. They turned out great. Thanks Michelle.

Blakely with her preschool class-She LOVES School!!

Halloween Party

Last weekend the girls and I headed to my friend Debbie's family's annual Halloween party. It was a lot of fun! The girls loved dressing up, playing games, the bomb fire and the hayride.

Blakely First Field Trip

Last week Blakely had her first field trip. They were supposed to go to the Pumpkin Patch at the middle school, but of course it was raining. So the Beta Club had different games/crafts set up inside so they could play with all the kids. Blakely had a great time and was real excited about riding on the big bus. Lilly and I meet her there. Of course Lilly just acted like she was one of the big kids and joined right along. We look forward to many more field trips.

Lilly's 2nd Birthday Party

Last weekend we celebrated Lilly's second birthday at the local park. She had a pumpkin party. She and all the kids seemed to have such a good time even if it was freezing. They enjoyed playing, decorating pumpkins and the pumpkin penny game.

Olivia Grace's Party

This picture was taken a couple of days after OG's party by Heather Owens. They had to have their picture together.

Yes I'm so behing on blogging...ughh. Lately when I get on the computer I am working so I have not had much time to blog about what is going on. So several weeks ago the girls went to Olivia Grace's Birthday party. It was such a cute party and the girls had such a fun time. Well, it took Lilly awhile warm up-she was so scared of the clown. The girls enjoyed riding ponies and having races on their own little pony. Happy Birthday Olivia Grace!!

Lilly got brave and got on the pony.

Happy Birthday to Lilly!!!!

Our Sweet Lilly turned two today (even though she says she is 3...silly girl)! We LOVE you so much and wish you the happiest birthday ever. We will celebrate more this weekend at her party.

Taylor Swift

Own Our WayMiss BlakelyCowgirl-with a little BlingJulia, Blakely and Bella

Sweet HugsBlakely and Mommy-Yes Blakely does not look happy and I look way too happy. hahaha

Last Saturday Blakely and I headed south to go see Taylor Swift. Blakely really likes her and I do too. Both girls sing along with all her songs. We went with the Nutt Girls and had the best time. Taylor really puts on a show! We also got to see Kellie Pickler and Gloriana. The girls danced, sang and had the best time.

Taylor hits the stage
So now for the long exciting story of the night...We were sitting in the upper section and two ladies came up by our section looking around (one we know now was Taylor Swift's Mom). A group of teenagers came up and they gave them free tickets to the pit area-so of course I had to ask are you giving away free tickets. She told me that our girls were too small to go down there, but she had something special in store for them later. Of course we had no idea what it was or if it was for real. After several songs from Taylor one of the ladies, a camera man and a spotlight guy came up to our seats and told us to get everything and come with them. When we got to the floor they told us that Taylor was going to do an acoustic set and that we would be able to sit on the carpet around her-they only picked 15 to 20 people to sit in the gated area. We couldn't believe it!! The girls were so excited and of course both Sara and I were. So she came down and sang a few songs and then afterward came by us and shook hands and that is when Blakely got a hug from Taylor. Taylor told Blakely "you are so sweet." Of course Blakely was excited, but doesn't understand how lucky we were to get chosen. So know we officially LOVE Taylor Swift.
All of pictures of Taylor are have a bright light in them. The spot light was shining on us/the carpet the whole time.
Blakely and Bella excited about getting to see Taylor so close

Our Little Dancer

Finally Little Miss Blakely is old enough to start taking dance! She has been wanting to take dance ever since she has seen her cousin Darby at the dance recital. Blakely absolutely LOVES it. She takes 30 minutes of ballet and then 30 minutes of tap. I can't wait until I get to see her perform in class. I don't think parents can watch them until December. :-(

Here she is before class...so excited
and we love our cute dance bag from our friend Mrs. Keri.

So Happy!!

I did try and sneak a picture when I dropped her off.

Soccer Time

Blakely started soccer several weeks ago. She is playing with the Upward program. She is having a fun time playing and seems to really enjoying being on a team. She is the youngest/smallest one on her team and is having to learn to be a little more aggressive. She love running up and down the field. She told me the other day that she was part of a team-I LOVE that and want her to know how great it is to be apart of something win or lose. We are having a fun time watching her and sissy loves cheering her on!

She still has to pose.

Rachel, Blakely and Lilly

Well Miss Blakely started her first day of Preschool today! She had the best time and has been waiting for this day for a long time...not so sure about me. She has always gone to MDO, but this was the big day she has been waiting on. She was so excited about going this morning and couldn't wait to get there. She went in just fine and found her friend Rachel and didn't seem to mind that Lilly and I were leaving. Lilly on the other hand had a hard time leaving her sissy. :-(

When we picked her up all she talked about was school...when do I get to go again...I want Rachel to come over, etc... Her teacher said she did great, but had to separate her and Rachel-to much talking to her friend...I wonder where she gets that from...hahaha. She came home and made her snack for tomorrow :-) We love you so much Blakely and can't believe that your school life has started.
