Trick or Treat




At school...


Hanging with Cady and her BFF, Emmy

Pumpkin Carving

"Trick or treating" at my office...

The first of the Halloween parties....


Halloween was so much fun this year....Seth and I took the girls to a great party the weekend before Halloween. Jadyn was Lava Girl(off Disney's "Shark Boy and Lava Girl") and Cady was a cheerleader. Our friends really made the kids a great party....more like a carnival with a dunking booth and all!!!

On Halloween, we were able to enjoy time with our new small group. Great party and a fun hayride to trick or treat around the neighborhood. Oh, did I mention the pumpkin pinata? Cady changed her mind and was a pirate for the school parade and the trick or treating, but Jadyn stuck with Lava Girl. Me, I was a 70's disco girl.

We even did a little trick or treating at our local Kroger and at my office....the girl's hit it big this year, but as jadyn will tell you, "Too much sugar is not a healthy choice!!!)

The pumpkin carving was super fun and the girls did not mind the mess....they just liked decorating cookies when the carving was done!

It's Fall Ya'll...Love the Pumpkin Patch











I absolutely love the fall and most of all going to the pumpkin patch. I feel so blessed this year to be able to do all this with the girls since last year I spent nearly 4 months so sick that I could not enjoy these experiences. The girls loved picking out a pumpkin, pony rides, the hay maze, the hayride, feeding cows, the petting zoo, and most of all watching mama milk a cow!!!!

New Kids on the Block...





Yes, I went there....how could I resist a night out with the girls to see New Kids on the Block. I mean, apparently I wasn't the only one....there was a stadium full of women in their 20's and 30's screaming like little girls. It was a fun night and best of all I got the blessing of spending time with my friend Shea...gotta love her!(and I have some pictures I could bribe her with later) :)

I AM A SOCCER MOM!








I have entered the world of becoming a soccer mom....Jadyn is a natural!!!! She began soccer and has no fear. She loves running and even being goalie. She made her very first goal at her second game and was never scored on as a goalie. I truly think she could run the entire game if she was allowed too. She loved having daddy at all her games and especially when he got to coach her in the goalie box. Thanks Mrs. Carey and Mrs. Polly!

Good times, Great friends






As I mentioned in the last blog, Hurricane Ike really made us all slow down and appreciate the little things more. We rode out the storm here at home and with very little sleep, we heard the winds, rain, debris, and a random tree falling here and there. We were so blessed in many ways....little damage ( a tree fell on Seth's vehicle breaking only a light cover and a tree down in the backyard), we were only out electricity 6 days, we enjoyed a nice cold front, and got to spend a lot of time with our friends The Clarks. The weather was so good that we literally played outside ALL day, ate dinner with the Clarks(thanks for the generator), and then bedtime!!! After we got our electricity back, they still had no power for almost three weeks so, Angela's inhome daycare(Daycare Clark) became "Daycare at the Montgomery's :) Very strange to have up to 12 kids in my house at one time, but all in all a great time. I even babysat one night and created a music class/band with the kiddos...so cute! With our power back on, the Wii became a popular toy!!!

Cady turned 3!!!





Our baby turned three(9-22-08)....WOW how time flies! Despite all the Hurricane Ike happenings, we still celebrated Cady's party with a lot of family and friends. The storm made us all appreciate things a lot more.....friends, family, electricity, food, our homes, and just simply celebrating even the littlest things. Her party was at Flips gymnastics, of course...and had a Hello Kitty theme.

What is Cady doing now...being adorable as usual :)
She loves to "read books" to me, she loves Hello Kitty, she does ballet and gymnastics, plays soccer with Jadyn, enjoys taking care of her pretend babies, gives the best hugs and smoochies ever, sleeps in a big girl bed, has gotten really good at the Wii, loves to pray first everytime we get in the car in the morning, has a lot of friends and "boyfriends", likes to sing, loves to do "car line" at school, knows all her numbers, letters, and colors in English and spanish :), she is a mama's girl, but adores her daddy too, loves to go on "daddy dates", likes pizza, likes to convince pappaw to give her gum, she has the loudest voice ever(future cheerleader), giggles with her nose all wrinkled up, likes to get her fingernails and toenails painted, loves to play dress up, and well...she is very good at making all of us laugh and love!!!!
