Happy Birthday, Eden!

Did you know you could have a birthday party at the Children's Orpheum Museum in downtown Champaign?
We had never even been there before, so this was an extra special treat for the kiddos. Our friend, Eden, was celebrating her 6th birthday today and we were lucky enough to be invited and help her celebrate her big day! They got to touch a snake, lizard, and a turtle during the little animal critter show. They LOVED that! Jillian would just give them a quick tap, she wasn't too sure about them. There were so many other things for them to play with and explore. I'm so glad we discovered this place! They had the BEST time!

And what kind of party would it be without pizza, juice boxes, and cupcakes!?! If you want to see the ubber cute cupcakes from the party, made my ME, then click HERE!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Back on the 1st I celebrated the big 3-2 with my sweet kiddos and hubby. I had the most relaxing, uneventful day. It was perfect! For my birthday TJ got me some pretty flowers and a new, professional cupcake blog that's being designed right now and will be up hopefully soon! I can't wait to see it and share it with ya all! We did go out to eat at Red Lobster, YUMMM! And afterwards we went to Custard Cup. I was not about to bake my own cupcakes, so ice cream was A-OK with me!

I ♥ Halloween!!! Part 3

Trick or Treat!!!

I thought it had been awhile since I had heard a peep out of Jillian.... so I peek into the playroom and here's what I see...

Little Miss Jilly Bean HIDING under their little table shoveling M&M's into her mouth! What a stinker!!!!

Philo Road Fall Fest 2010

Friday night we had our Fall Fest at church. Dacey & Kinley got to come and join in on the fun, too! Too cute for her own good.

My scary little shark.

Here comes the parade of costumes!!!!

One super cute little flower and her cute Mama!

I ♥ Halloween!!! Part 1

So, we started off our Halloween festivities this year with a trip to the mall. I had heard about it online and thought, I've got to get my money's worth out of this shark costume...Let's GO! Oh. My. It was a mad house!!! We got there just in time for a costume contest for Brock's age division. And what do you know, he made Top 10!!!! (Totally helped make up for what I paid for that costume...and the fact that he LOVES this costume and beams when he has it on!) We had just missed Jillian's age division, but I'm pretty sure she would have won! (Maybe I'm a little prejudice.)

This little donut has her Granddad wrapped around her little pinky finger. She couldn't let any candy just sit in her bag. Oh, no. She had to have it right then and there, and can Granddad say, No?? Nope.

But who can blame him??? Who can seriously resist this sweet little face????

Arkansas Weekend

Here's Buff the Bison. The kids LOVED him...from afar.

Jillian & Granddad

Now, I had to throw this shot in for a couple of reasons. 1) I was on the 1st ever squad at HU to have cheerleading SKIRTS. My, oh my, how they have improved over the past ten years! 2) Those are SHORT, for Harding standards. 3) How cool that they got to sport pink hair bows and pink pom poms to support breast cancer awareness month!?

Look what Grandma caught!!! Oh, wait. According to Brock it was Grandma's feet that caught it, since it did land right at her feet!

Can't go to Searcy without a visit to Colton's. YUM!

We went over to Ashley's house to decorate pumpkins and had to have some caramel apples. Mine of course was SUPER bruised which = SUPER disappointed. The kids only picked off the caramel, not one bite of apple.

Here's Brock enjoying his FREE ride with this other little guy. He was handing out hot dogs and sodas!

We had to kill a little time shopping in Little Rock before the football game. I think they're both celebrating their victory!

We had such a FUN weekend in Searcy visiting my sister while she's there doing her internship. Sad to think we may not be back down there again until Brock & Jillian go to school there!
