35th!

We celebrated Corey's 35th birthday earlier this month.  We're so thankful for Dada!  He's such a good daddy and husband!  He's also the type that doesn't really want a fuss made over him so we had family over for pizza and cake to celebrate.  









The next day we went to the Razorback game.  One of Dada's favorite past times! Elle was mesmerized :)


Best picture of the two of us :(  She likes to play the I'm not going to look at the camera game!



Then, Mimi watched Elle so that we could go to Kansas City for a short trip.  We stayed at the Raphael Hotel on the Plaza and had a great time. We were able to shop, eat, and even hang out at a sports bar (per the birthday boy's request) all of which are things that we cannot do easily anymore with a toddler!  I actually did not take many pictures from our trip because I decided to enjoy the moment and not lug around my camera!

Here are a few pictures of our awesome room!





It even had a Keurig!  


Elle has been busier than ever.  She is going through a "Terrible 2" phase and is fighting sleep lately.  She is even crawling out of her crib!  Big girl bed here we come!  Well, I have to find one first!



Silly girl :)!

Halloween 2012

Behind is an understatement.... I'm a so behind on so many things right now, and I can't believe I'm just now posting our Halloween festivities. Better late than never, right!?



Elle's first event was the Fall Festival at The Little Gym.  It was a lot of fun and she enjoyed it so much! Of course, we had to have a mini photo shoot before we left!

First time for Elle to get her face painted




Elle with her friend Griffin (aka Clark Kent)


She then participated in a costume parade at her school.





On Halloween night, we went Trick or Treating with our friends Holly, Ryan, and baby Price.  First, we had Halloween themed appetizers at our house.




Elle was so excited about her pumpkin lanterns!


Her partner in crime... Price (aka Charlie Brown)




And then they were off!  Unfortunately we got out late and the darkness made it difficult to get pictures :(



Ryan pulling the kiddos.


And finally, Elle had a Halloween themed dance class.



I believe Halloween was a success!
