Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful and busy four full days of Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for. Our savior; Jesus Christ, and his love and grace he gives so abundantly, a country where we are allowed to freely worship Him, two beautiful & healthy children, a huge family that love us and our kids, and so much more. I could go on and on about how thankful I truly am!! We spent our first two days in Pine Bluff with the Coyle Family, eating Thanksgiving dinner, having a cousins party that night, and a Hogs vs. Tigers watch party, some of Dave's Louisiana Family was in town for the holiday. We are on a two year winning streak when they are visiting :) We headed down to McGehee (lower Arkansas) on Saturday and spent the day with my Mom's family and ended the weekend with the most special time of all, Dave's Baptism! I'm so proud of my husband and the proclamation he made of his love and faith in Jesus Christ. He became a Christian in college but was baptised for the first time on Sunday and I can't think of anything better to end Thanksgiving weekend with!!We went to Cabot after the baptism to eat lunch with Dave's mom's family!

Hello Kitty Madness

Kennedy's B-day party is in the books and was a lot of fun despite the chilly weather and change of plans from park locale to the Coyle Household. We stuffed fifty something people into our home. Although a little crowed and chaotic, we had a blast celebrating her birthday with family and friends. Thanks to everyone for such a fun day!!

Our Baby is 3!!

Kennedy Grace turned 3 today . Dave and I cannot believe our baby is three, it really is true that they grow up fast!! We are so proud of this little girl and all her fun quirks! She is a girly girl who loves clothes, shoes, dress-up, chocolate, pink, helping mommy cook, being a big sis, reading, and painting. She doesn't forget a thing, I told her that we would make cupcakes for her birthday and at 6:00 a.m. this morning we were up making cupcakes for breakfast. We then opened her new roller skates. She had been asking for ice skates for months from a book she likes to read. I convinced her that rollerskates would be better for Arkansas and she was really excited when she got her skates and princess helmet. She was a little disappointed that it is not as easy as it looks in her book! We then went to The Wonder Place before naptime and to Chuck E Chesse for dinner. It was a busy day, but you only turn 3 once, right? I'm excited to watch her grow but at the same time a little sad that our baby is not so much a baby anymore!!!

Halloween

Sleeping Beauty & Superman had a great time Trick or Treating!! Kennedy loved going from house to house to get candy and only asked a few hundred times if we were going to another house to get more candy. While we were walking one day this week she said "I go ring the bell and get some candy!" So now, she thinks our neighbors pass out candy daily!!

Caleb is 5 months old!!

Our little man is 5 months old today and learning to do so much.

His new tricks are:

Making a car sound

Blowing spit bubbles

Teething (one poking through)

Eating rice cereal

Trying to sit up with help

Laughing at his sister

Being a superhero

Fall Fun

Fall is my favorite time of year!! The trees changing, football, the State Fair, pumpkin patches, and festivals, there are so many fun things to do this time of year and the weather is beautiful!! I love it!! We have been doing many of these things the past couple of weeks and having a blast. Last Friday, me and a few girls took our kiddos to the State Fair. Kennedy didn't want to ride any rides for about the 1st hour, but then after watching her friends have all the fun decided to be brave and join in. She loved it once she gave it a try. Dave and I took the kids to the Harvest Festival on Saturday. We made crafts, petted a pony, took a hayride, watched a puppet show, ate some nutritious "festival" food and just had such a good time!

Auburn vs. Alabama

We took a trip to Alabama last weekend to visit some friends and take in some Razorback Football! We were a little nervous about 8 hours in the car with a toddler and baby, but it was actually very enjoyable. We stayed with The Wittendorfer's, our friends who recently moved back to Alabama from Arkansas. Kennedy and Camille are great friends and have missed playing with each other since they moved away. The girls were very excited to see each other and spent the first day playing dress-up. The next morning, we headed to Auburn an hour away for tailgating and lots of fun! The kids had a blast as did us adults. It really helped that the Hogs pulled out a victory and the Auburn Fans were very accommodating!! Dave only got called "Tiger Meat" a few times and Kennedy is now obsessed with Aubie the Tiger and the eagle, we have been trying to teach her they are dirty, as Mrs. Renee would say about our beloved Hogs! The next day we relaxed and headed home Monday morning! It was a great trip with many great memories!!! The Fam Talgating
