Happy Halloween

Jason and I attended a Halloween party on Friday night hosted by our friends, Melanie and Scott (although not pictured - and their costumes were GREAT!) The food was wonderful and we had a great time! EVERY single person came in costume and that made it all the more fun. I got to see my friend, Adrienne (and Jason - her husband), who came dressed as a pregnant nun with a taste for Budlight and the priest who wasn't as celibate as he should have been. She is actually expecting a baby boy, Parker, which made the costume all the more humerous. I was dressed as Tippi Hedren from "The Birds" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056869/) and Jason came as "Phil McCrackin" (he picked the costume all on his own and it was just the worst I've ever seen him!!!) Our quiet and shy friends, Greg and Courtney, came as Kidd Rock and Pam Anderson (http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1215945,00.html). There were cowboys, gangsters, Jason (from Friday 13th), hippies, go-go dancers, and the list could go on and on!!! Thanks to Melanie and Scott for inviting us to their "Spooktacular" party!!!

Catfish Soup!!!

Yesterday, I went to Jennifer's to see family. Adalie was there and in the cutest pumpkin outfit. She and Julia basically slept the whole time, but they were still so much fun to hold and cuddle. Adalie went back to New Orleans today and I'll miss her very much! I'm awfully thankful that Julia is just 45 minutes away. This is such a precious time when they'll let you hold them and just love on them...unlike when they become Sam's age when they discover their independence. Jacob was in full form. He made up a song about Diet Coke (Ose, Granny, and I had all given him little bits of Diet Coke throughout the afternoon...) and Jennifer knew right away that he'd been having a little soft drink as oppossed to the milk/water they had meant for him to drink. Jacob is SO FUNNY to be around right now! He made everyone a batch of "Catfish Soup" (which was M&M's, marshmallows, and Smarties). Then he wanted to play dentist...He's the dentist and he'll assign someone to be his assitant, Amber. Jacob will ask your favorite flavor of flouride, and he strongly discourages the "bubble gum" flavor. He says next time he goes to the dentist, he'll ask for grape. He counted everyone's teeth and we all got a clean bill of dental health thanks to Jacob, DDS.

Cousin Club Chaos!!!

Today I went to Mom and Dad's. This morning was Adalie's first time to attend the Village Church and she looked like a little angel in her white dress. After church, we headed back to the house where there were all sorts of introductions with all the cousins together for the first time. Samuel wasn't all that thrilled that Ose and Pa were holding these little babies. He made it very clear that was NOT okay with him. I'm sure he'll learn to deal with having the girls around. It was a fun day and I was glad to spend so much quality time with my precious nieces and nephews!!!

Boy Wonder & the Pumpkin Patch!

Today Sam and Jamie came to visit me so that we could go to the pumpkin patch that is nearby my house. Sam had a great time running through the rows of pumpkins, looking at all the farm animals, eating his first corndog, bravely going in the haunted house, and allowing his Aunt Keeca to take a million pictures of him. After playing, he decided it was time to put on his Robin costume and patrol the pumpkin patch! He was VERY busy and would have been happy to stay all day! What a good "Boy Wonder"!!!

Jackson Square

Adalie went to Jackson square for the first time on Saturday. The girls met up with the boys at The Napoleon House, but before we got to the restaurant we had a little diaper situation in the car. It seems that Adalie knows one of Sam’s favorite tricks to pull when Aunt Jessica is around. Kim changed her in the front seat of the car…my only job was to keep the baby wipes coming, but I just couldn’t do it. Jamie took that job…I held my nose and took pictures of the scene. It was pretty entertaining and Adalie was MUCH happier with clean britches! She slept through her first tour of Jackson square, but we still managed to take her picture about a thousand times!!! We had great time this weekend and I miss her so much already!!!

Hog Girls!

In support of the hogs on Saturday, Adalie and I decided to wear our Razorback gear. She was sporting red and white and was much more coordinated than me...that's for sure!!! Adalie has plenty of outfits and accessories just like a little girl should! I know without a doubt, she was the cutest little hog fan I've ever seen!

My Sweet Adalie

This weekend I FINALLY got to meet baby Adalie! I was to Adam and Kim's door first, but they were across on their neighbor's front porch swing. Jamie beat me to the punch and was the first to hold her, but Adalie quickly said that she wanted her Aunt Keeca! She is SO SWEET and loveable! Kim had her dressed very appropriately in a little onesie that said "my aunt loves me" and we TRULY do.....

Holding (little pink hog) Heaven!!!

Tonight we saw Julia Rose for the first time. I took 88 pictures and tried to upload as many as I could to this blog post. When I walked in mom was primping her to see her Aunt Keeca. I had to put on a gown and wash my hands in order to hold her...but when I held her, she told me I was her favorite aunt! She's so perceptive already!!! (she made a face like she was going to cry when Jamie held her...LOL!!!) She smelled so sweet with the tiny bit of Baby Magic mom had applied for the baby scent. She had on a little gown with a matching blanket...and best of all a little Razorback hat with a pink HOG on it (may be hard to tell from these pictures). I think the ENTIRE time we all were there, a camera was flashing! Julia didn't seem to mind. She is so precious, wonderful, and sweet!!! This is a very BIG week for me, because I will also get to meet sweet Adalie on Friday. I know Adalie and Julia will make quite the pair. Julia also said she's ready to meet Adalie! Sweet dreams baby girls!!!
