I love this time of year .....to add to the moving we have been super busy with lots of fall things like pumpkin carving. My birthday, The pumpkin patch. race for the cure, mammaw venables birthday and Razorback games! I love when the weather starts getting cool and the nights start earlier! It just gets me in the holiday mood.

We have been making sure Emma gets to do all the traditional halloween traditions for us. We have our huge inflatable pumpkin, ghost and kitty cat in the yard, mums and pumpkins and this year we even have a halloween tree!

We took Emma to Mayflower to the pumpkin Patch there. She loved it we were a little disappointed because they would not take us to the actual patch but Emma didn't know and there were tons of pumpkins to choose from. She picked three little ones and we picked three big ones and carved a Cinderella pumpkin when we got home. It was alot of fun.

We also had a Halloween birthday party for a little friend of Emmas that she was able to dress as a kitty cat for. She was absolutely adorable. She kept meowing the whole time and pretending to swish her tail. She was really proud of her costume and enjoyed it.

Also I ran in Race for the cure for the 4th year. I had my best time ever and ran 29:10. I only missed getting a medal by 1:20. Next year that medal is mine. I can just feel it!

Enjoy the pics I have been so behind in posting about.

Happy Birthday to Baby Mammaw!

My mammaws birthday is October 15th so for the past 29 years she has gotten to share the birthday month with me. Because our birthdays were so close we usually ended up celebrating together. She turned 74 yesterday and for about 5 months I have planned a suprise birthday party for her. Nothing Big just family but I wanted the day to be all about her. She takes care of Emma for me most of the time when I go work out and does countless things for me, Ryan and Emma and I wanted her to know how much she was loved and that I cared about her.

She came over last night on the premise we were celebrating our birthdays to her surprise the party was all about her. She is too sweet. She had brought a present for Emma so that Emma wouldn't feel left out while we were opening presents. ( That is an inkling of how much she loves us!)

Mammaw is now Baby Mammaw to Emma. I couldn't have asked for a more loving affectionate giving woman to be my Mammaw! She has spoiled me and continues to spoil me and my daughter to this day. I have such good memories of spending th night at her house, eating popcorn, pickles, and Shotgun Dans pizza. Then getting up to have Little Debbies for Breakfast. She would rock me, sing to me and scratch my back for hours! I love her more than she will ever know. We have a joke we always write in our cards. I would write I love you more and she always writes I love you more cause I'm bigger! I think we love her more now though because there are more of us! I hope Her special birthday made her day!
