Missy & Eric's Wedding!

On December 4th, Missy and Eric were married! It was a beautiful wedding and Katlyn was their flower girl! She did great and actually walked down the aisle, too! I have to say Matt and I were very proud of her because none of us knew what to expect out of a 20 month old flower girl! Everything was truly beautiful and it was such a special day! Congratulations to Missy and Eric! We love you both!

Mr. and Mrs. Owens!

 

The most precious little flower girl ever!

Thanksgiving

What a great Thanksgiving we had! So much to be thankful for! We spent the day with family at Aunt Debbie's house. Always tons of great food and fun catching up with everyone! Katlyn enjoyed playing in the leaves and was exhausted by the end of the night! We thank God for our precious family, the love we share, our health, and our happiness!

So thankful for our little family!

 

Katlyn was asleep before we left their subdivision! What a long day!

 

Rockin' on Mama's Old Rockin' Horse!

My Mom took care of this old rocking horse for many, well 30 something, years! One night we were over at their house and Katlyn hopped up on it and started rocking and saying, "rock, rock". This rocking horse was made by some friends of my parents when I was little and Mom says that the friend, Bruce, and my Dad would tell her to leave and let me rock because it made her so nervous. It doesn't really have a good stopper in the front or the back, but I think that makes it even more fun! Now it is Matt who stands and watches nervously! I'm glad it is still here for her to enjoy...I just hope it doesn't make Matt turn grey!!

Lu-Lu ready to catch Katlyn!

 

Way back!

 

"Are you nervous?? This is fun!"

 

Halloween

So, I guess you could say I am a little behind on my blogging! I couldn't pass up these Halloween photos of Katlyn, though! She enjoyed going trick-or-treating this year and even attending the church Fall Festival, too. Right before we left to go trick-or-treating I decided to make her a quick bag. It's supposed to be a candy corn bag. We went to Grandad's house first and got to see Aunt Missy and Ms. Wanda, too! Katlyn got a bunch of treats there, including a pumpkin balloon! We went to Pop and Lu-Lu's later and Katlyn enjoyed playing with her treats from them and spending some time playing with their little neighbor, Sawyer, who was also trick-or-treating. She and Pop played with play-doh and then it was time for bed! She had a fun Halloween and we enjoyed watching her! Here's our Lil' Pebbles!

"Trick-or-Treat, Grandad!"

 

"Hey, Pop! Look at these pumpkins!"

 

Our Jack-O-Lantern

Here is our lovely jack-o-lantern! Katlyn helped a little bit, but enjoyed playing on the deck more!

Ewwww, yuck!

 

My lil' stinker!

Toilet Paper

Busted! It doesn't take Katlyn long to get into things lately! The other morning, Matt and I were getting ready for church and the next thing we know....Katlyn has the toilet paper stretched out all over the bathroom. I've always thought this was cute for other kids to do, but I do hope this was a first and last for Katlyn!

What??

 

"Who did this??"

 

Look at this mess!

 

The Flintstones!

Katlyn was Pebbles from the Flintstones this year! I had bought an animal print dress for her and sewed a little bone for her hair. My friend Lauren's kiddos, Lily and Miles, who you've seen on here many times, were Bamm-Bamm and Betty! We decided to take the kids out for some pictures the weekend before Halloween. This is what we got!

My precious Pebbles!

Pumpkins and Apples!

Every year, Mom and I get together with my friend, Tasha, and her Mom and go to the North Georgia mountains for some fall fun! Each year we go to buy tons of apples and now that we have two little ones to take, too, we find ourselves having an even better time than before! Katlyn and Branson have a great time together and time with Tasha and her Mama is priceless! This year we hit our usual apple places and then headed out to a corn maze! A corn maze with two little ones and a real map to follow was probably not our best idea, but it was actually a lot of fun! We learned that it takes two adults for the kids and one adult to keep their finger on the map and count turns! Definitely a memory that will never be forgotten! I still laugh when I think about it!

Katlyn at Panarama Apples! I used to stop and get a fried apple pie here on my way to Young Harris! We like to say Katlyn is crying because that is a Coke sign and not Pepsi, which is Lu-Lu and Pop's favorite!

Mmmmmm....J-E-L-L-O!

I have been wanting to make some jello with Katlyn so the other night we just made time and did it! She loved stirring and was all about some SPLASHING! It was a mess, but so much fun! The next day we tried it out and she really liked it. She was fun to watch as she fumbled around with the slippery gel and managed to get some in her mouth here and there! It was just too cute! My counters aren't stained and we had a good time, so I think we will try it again sometime soon....she picked out grape this time!

Helping Mommy stir!

 

Ha Ha! Matt got a great action shot here....see the splashes!!!

 

Trying it out!

 

Y-U-M-M-O J-E-L-L-O!

 

Robby & Vicki's Wedding!
