Pumpkin Carving

What fun they had getting all messy! LOL I didn't get pics of that, but they each chose the design they wanted, and I "helped" Faith, while Justin and Falyn carved hers. Not too shabby! They had fun, and that's all that counts. :)

Yes, my child would rather be naked than wear clothes all day, ANY day!! LOL


Concentrating very hard on her carving. They did good! Daddy helped with the hard parts.




All decked out for tomorrow night.

So proud!! And yes...Bunny makes it into ALL kinds of photos! :)

Faith's Baptism

FINALLY some pictures!! I've had to hound my mom and Venus (and still haven't gotten the ones from her yet), but we have some photos!! Here's is Faith, in all her cute and adorableness, when she was baptized on September 24, 2005. She was NONE too happy with the water being poured on her head. LOL These are the ones my mom and little brother took. Click on them to see them larger.

Faith's Godmother: Venus Byrd
Faith's Godfather: BJ Symons(who wasn't present)

Yes, we're aware of the killer blue eyes!!


Really...have you seen a more adorable child lately?? I think not! ;-)


Daddy looks a little drunk, huh? LOL

9 weeks and counting...

But who's counting right? LOL 9 weeks till I am officially due to have this baby! Yes, that's right...you have NINE weeks till Christmas!! I am hoping I only have 7-ish more weeks till I can hold my little man, but seeing as this is a "textbook" pregnancy, I can see him holing on until the day after Christmas. Those of you that knew our boy name for the girls, already know his name, but I'm not telling if you forgot!! LOL Yes, all the aches and pains and discomforts of being 7 months preggo are setting in, and MAN my feet HURT!! I had my last wedding of the year Saturday (YAY!) and only have family sessions left, and those are cake walks! :)

We got 95% of the nursery done this weekend, and it's SO darn CUTE!! I wasn't sure what the heck to do with a boy, and now that I look at his little room, I am looking forward to all the new experiences of what having a boy will be like. I think it's finally sinking in. I'll take some pictures and post them today. The girls have all thier luxuries in their room now...so now, when they need a "time-out" they have to go to MY boring room! LOL

I also finally got some photos back from my mom of Faith's baptism, and I will post those too. She's such a cutie pie!!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Looks like I am coming down with a cold, and my throat is KILLING me!! I see the Dr on Wednesday, so hopefully he'll tell me I can take more than Halls. LOL Did I mention...I'M TIRED TOO?!?

Disney Pics

Starting with Animal Kingdom (the first day in Orlando)...we weren't very impressed with AK...we had more fun the rest of the trip. Future reference, click on the pictures and you can see them larger.

The girls in front of "The Lion King Tree"...the name of it has escaped me, I think "Living Tree", but if you look close, you can see all the carvings in it of animals...pst..it's not a real tree! ;)

Justin and Falyn on the water ride...look how SOAKED she got! LOL

Lilo and Stitch - Faith was sleeping. Falyn LOVED them!!

MAGIC KINGDOM

MGM STUDIOS


"Honey, they shrunk Falyn!"





Faify LOVES her some JoJo!

Thanks Ang!

Now you have a little music to listen to (thanks to Angie's blog). This is my current favorite song. Brings back a ton of memories for me for some reason. And for those of you that don't know...I don't even really listen to this kind of music. I am a country girl to the bone! But I LOVE this song!! Lyrics here, video all the way at the bottom.

Photograph - Nickelback

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey’s head

This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must’ve done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it’s too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh, god I...

Every memory of lookin’ out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walkin’ out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin’ for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They said somebody went and burnt it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we’d know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since God knows when

Oh, god I...

Every memory of lookin’ out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walkin’ out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin’ for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town, I miss the faces
You can’t erase, you can’t replace it
I miss it now, I can’t believe it
So hard to stay, too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of lookin’ out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walkin’ out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin' for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me...

Maternity Portraits

Here are some photos that a fellow photographer friend of mine took of me. Maternity Portraits There are still more to come, including some of me and Falyn, so check the link again later. :)

WHOO HOO DISNEY!!!

So this past week was Fall Break here, and we went to Disney World! BLAST!! We left Saturday the 1st and came back Thursday. The girls are the perfect age!! They loved every minute of it, and Falyn is even tall enough to ride a LOT of the rides (much to my concern). She did GREAT! We were both very proud of her being such a good sport and not even thinking twice about any of them. She wanted to go!! She did get off the Test Track (think crash test dummies) and tell me, "Mom that one was a little bit scary." LOL But then she ran in circles with her arms out to show me how it turned!

TS Tammy...of course...my mom says we're magnets for these storms. Even while in Orlando, what forms off the coast, and rains on us on Wednesday a few times?? You guessed it!! A tropical storm! Good grief! She did not ruin our fun at all! It was rather warm and muggy this time of year tho, and Justin and I have decided that the week before or of Christmas is the best time to go. I just loaded up all the pics, so as soon as I have a minute (I have a wedding today) I will start putting them online for you to see. I have a CUTE one of Faith kissing Mickey on the nose and Dale too. She hugged Tigger and went bonkers over Jojo the clown! We went to storytime with Belle, and watched Cinderella be crowned a Princess. It was great!!

Pictures to follow soon! I have to get ready for work. Only one more wedding after today and I am ON MATERNITY LEAVE!!!! YAHOO!! Well, it officially starts Nov 11th, but no more weddings for the year!! :) How do YOU like hearing that there are only 11 more weeks until Christmas!?!? ;) he he I LOVE it, b/c I know that means I'll be holding my little man sometime in that time frame...EDD 12/26/05!!
