Our little Princess

We had such a fun Halloween this year. Here are some pictures from our weekend.

I think Halloween might be Maclane's favorite holiday. She LOVES chocolate and was so excited that people were just giving it to her. Ever since she learned to say "Trick or Treat" she has been asking everyone...cashiers, demo ladies at Sam's club for candy. It is so funny.

About to go Trick or Treating. This was her 1st year actually going around the neighborhood.

This is from our party at church. It was a lot of fun. Maclane was having a Diva moment in this picture.

My niece Rachel in the back (Miss America). Maclane loved that I dressed up as a kitty.

And the little one said rollover...

I love this picture. This is what Maclane's bed looks like when she goes to sleep. We have had a hard time getting her to sleep in her bed (since she was born). We let her take a stuffed animal to bed with her and this is what it turned into. Every night she has to have certain toys in her bed and she wants to read them a book. It is so cute. We have to go in there after she falls asleep and move the stuffed animals, so she can actually sleep in her bed. It is so funny. All her animals are special to her...she even prays for them by name. :)

We celebrated Great Grandma's birthday. Maclane loved helping blow out the candles. We really enjoyed having G.Grandma for a visit.

We borrowed a kitten for Maclane to spend the day with. We have thought about getting a pet, but after spending a weekend with this kitten we decided to wait alittle longer. Let's just say that Maclane loved it almost to death. :) She was like that little girl on the old Looney Toones cartoons. We laughed, but felt sorry for the kitten.

My sister Michelle gave Maclane this princess hat. She wants to wear it all the time. It is so cute.

Who says girls don't play dirty?

Ok, so the other day we came over to my mom's house and I let Maclane play outside. This is what she looked like when she was done. I just had to take some pictures. :)

Maclane goes to school

Maclane goes to the library twice a week for storytime and let me tell you it's the highlight of her week. We call it school, b/c she wants to be a "big girl" and go to school like some of her friends. Her teachers are amazing. We have been going since we moved into our new house and Maclane and I both have made a lot of new friends.

Craft time with Maclane is so funny. She's into "I do it myself" lately, so no matter what the craft is she wants to do it her way. Its pretty cute just to watch her and see what she comes up with. Of course I'm always there to help if she wants me to. I just wanted to post what a normal day is for us. The life of a mom...what can I say. :)

I can't believe summer is almost over!!!

Ok...so as much as I am looking forward to the Fall I am alittle sad that summer is almost over. We have had such a great past few months. Here are a couple pics from the summer. I couldn't resist posting a few from the beach trip earlier this summer and also a few more just having fun.

I love this one of Skyler and Maclane. He is such a good Dad.

I think this was the highlight of Maclane's summer. She is still talking about feeding the birds on the Dolphin Cruise.

Maclane was so hilarious at the beach. One day she would love it and we could barely get her to leave and then the next day she wouldn't like it at all. We never really knew what to expect. I thought this picture was really funny though. That is her little "frog potty" in the background. We were potty training at the time...glad those days are over!!!



We have had so much fun playing with Addie this summer. The girls have done so many fun things together. This is from a day at Bridgestreet.

Another fountain pic of the girls.

Maclane taking a break from swimming at my Mom's house. We are so blessed b/c both of Maclane's grandparents have pools, so we have been swimming A LOT this summer. :) She is getting better at swimming, but I am kind of paranoid and make her wear these floaties. Maybe next year we won't need them at all.

We have really had a great summer. I am so thankful for all the different seasons. I always get so excited for the next season to come. I can't wait to wear sweaters, go to the pumpkin patch, drink hot chocolate and listen to Norah Jones. Thanks for caring about our family. We love you!

Our trip to Knoxville

Skyler had a business trip in Knoxville, so Maclane and I decided to tag along. We had so much fun. I wasn't able to take as many pics as I wanted, but on the bright side I was having to much fun to grab my camera very often. The hotel we stayed at had a pool and hot tub so while Skyler was at work we were able to stay busy swimming and do a little sight seeing.


We thought it might be fun to go bowling. It was Maclane's first time and she was very excited. She kept grabbing her bowling ball and running in front of the other lanes. Overall it was crazy, but a lot of fun.
