Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween! We carved a friendly pumpkin. Olivia dressed up like Princess Tiana. Halloween evening, we went to a Sunday School cook out at our friend's house which was a blast! The kids had a great time trick or treating and riding on the hay ride!

Old McDonald's Farm

Last Saturday we went to Old McDonald's Farm in Sale Creek. We had SO much fun!! We got to ride a hayride to the (real) pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. They also had slides from the hayloft down to the ground and a "ball-pit" type area full of corn. Olivia LOVED playing in the corn and going down the slide. The farm also had a petting zoo and tons of photo ops :) I highly recommend it to anyone!

I've totally slacked on my blogging since last year because I was looking for a job and now have a job! I am working at Cigna. When I'm not working, I'm on Pinterest pretending to be creative or shopping at consignment sales to fill my princess' already too full closet & dresser.

Ben has just started a new job at WNA (American Plastics) as a Quality Assurance Engineer Technician. He is still in school for a Quality Assurance/Quality Control degree, but is pushing back classes a semester or so because he was dying to work! LOL He can't stand school. BUT I'm so proud of him for going back and sticking with it!

The Princess is well. She's ALMOST 5. Really? Where has time gone? Wasn't she a baby like 7.5 minutes ago?! She goes to pre-school at our church and LOVES it and LOVES her teachers :) I will be sad when she leaves them next year for the "real world". She is super into the Disney Princesses... I think it's a pre-requisite to be in our family tho so it's all good. O is just now getting into dress up again and loves to put all her princess dresses on. She is still fearless and strong-willed. and also allergic to pomegranate. Don't ask how we found out. She can recognize about half the letters in the alphabet and is starting to match up words with the letter they start with based on sounding them out. Such a smart cookie!

Our newest adventure is ballet with her bestie Mia. Olivia LOVES it! She stays focused and really likes to learn the new things :) ok ok and she likes to twirl.

Long Time.....

No blog!

It has been too long! But stay tuned!! I am going to try to make more time for preserving memories very soon!
