Can it be....



Our beloved Razorbacks are just not doing too well this season. Makes a Razorback fan sad. Losing to ULM I figured we were doomed playing Bama...but anything can happen. Right?! Not so much. Ugh.

Anyways, I won't get into our Razorback football team...all I can say is WPS!! :)

We were supposed to have a garage sale....again. Second weekend and it was a no go. First weekend we ordered the tables to late and there were no more. Second weekend (this weekend) and it rains the ENTIRE weekend. I even decided to sell the kids clothes in this garage sale. Usually, all kids clothing is saved for Rhea Lana's but I have decided RL is for the dogs! Ha!! Only kidding....I have bought about 90% of my children's clothing from RL....even before Hayden was born! But I am skipping this October. Whoa! Crazy I know. But I am not going to shop it either. I know, I know. Even more shocking. But, I bought the remainder of what Olivia needed at the last event and my children have such great grandparents who are always thinking of them. So, they have what they need. Would I love to go shop and see what other cute stuff I could come across?? Absolutely! But, completely unnecessary. Halloween, Professional pictures, Thanksgiving, birthdays, Christmas cards and Christmas are all covered in the clothing department. And everything else is just potatoes. (that's the saying right :) )

 The kids new favorite movie. We seriously watch this 8 times a day. Its pretty cute. They are big into holiday type themed things. They take after their mommy there. :)

 Hayden watching Alvin and the chipmunks.
 And obviously, Olivia watching the same movie. *Sigh* :)

On Thursday we went to the park that is close to our house. They have a nice walking trail and always busy with kids and sometimes baseball games. And this was the first time Olivia rode her trike while pedaling!


 Bike Race!!!
 And there is Hayden waiting for Olivia. I think he won.
Here comes daddy and Olivia. She is so determined and did so well. Very proud of her!
 I realized today my nightstand. Full of kids books covering my Everyday with Rachel Ray. I love reading to my kids and love that they LOVE stories!
Our cat Emmy. Probably the best cat there ever was. Its rare she wants to be petted. She just lays up in window sills all day. Easiest pet ever.
 Hayden playing with his friends at the park. Seriously, they were calling him Captain. No, seriously. Ha. He is so funny and commands the attention of anyone and gets people to listen.
 Olivia looks slightly worried about the slide. She went down once and refused to do it again. Hayden on the other hand loved it and had no problem going down. Of course not, why would he. ;)
 My red face boy.


Olivia is really a 'swing' type kid. Swings are the first place she goes at the park.
 The spider-man nap mat I made for Hayden to take to preschool. I am so proud of this and love how it turned out. If he still loves spider-man when he starts kindergarten it can move with him! Two for one. My favorite.
Here he is at his first day of preschool. He actually only goes on Thursdays. And he absolutely loves it. Whenever I pick him up he says 'I had so much fun today at school.'. I am so glad he likes and does well. He always asks when he gets to go again. I hope he keeps up this love for school.

On Saturday I went with my friend Krista to look at her new house and Olivia wanted to go with us. We had lunch at Gusano's after looking at the house. She was so good and funny. But when isn't she.
Last picture of Miss Olivia. I enjoy getting to spend a couple hours with just her on Thursdays. Hayden had two years of being an only child. We continue to get to know him but enjoyed the special quiet moments together. I am really glad to be able to do that with Olivia once a week. Where it is just me and her and those quiet special moments. I try to make sure to divide one on one time with each of them. When I can get away with only taking one child to the store I alternate them so they each get to go on a special trip. And one gets special play time with daddy.

Sumping....

Sumping---obviously 'something'
Fink-- 'think'

Two of my most favorite words my kids say. I will be so sad when they outgrow this adorable speech. :(

That is all.

I've lost that blogging feeling...

Title says it all. Not a whole lot going on here. Getting ready for a big garage sale with my friend Krista. Excited to get rid of clutter and junk. Getting rid of old toys they never play with and old books that they never read. I told them we needed to make room for Christmas toys and books. Hayden then started putting EVERYTHING in the garage sale box. Um...hello child.....I am not re-stocking your whole toy and book lot. Haha.

A couple weekends ago I took the kids down to LR for their cousin Miles' third birthday! As soon as Hayden saw his invite he just had to go. Avengers. Enough said.  They ran around with their cousins Ava and Miles and just had so much fun. AND finally Olivia and Miles are big enough to get to play with the two bigger kids now.

Razorbacks played their first football game on Sept 1st and WON!!! Love me some Razorbacks!





Kids were decked out in Razorback attire. Olivia even got her toenails to match and she was so proud of them!
 Whenever we pick Andrew up from work we are usually waiting a little bit. For whatever reason, I feel the need to take a picture of Hayden. Ha. Here is one of the pictures of my sweet boy.
 He is growing up so fast. It makes me really sad. But the conversations I can have with him and  watching him learn and understand such complex things is such a joy. But,  I guess no matter how big he gets I will ALWAYS have this urge and need to protect him. I guess its the mama bear in me. :)
 I think I posted about how he goes to bed between 730-8 every night...well we really needed to make a pit stop at walmart for a couple things and this boy crashed. We had all our groceries on top of him. HAHA. Poor kid.
 My beautiful girl! I just love her to pieces. She is such a drama queen. LOL. Its too funny...she copies everything Hayden does. Every. Single. Detail. She really doesn't miss a beat when she is copying him.



The two above pictures are pictures Hayden took one morning. Sometimes we will watch Saturday morning cartoons in mommy's bed. Especially when they get up a little before the sun does. Anyways, the first one is Olivia watching said cartoons and second one is a picture of hallway from our bed. When I saw that one on my phone I was slightly creeped out. Just a little.

Olivia's big girl bed. This bed came from her Grandma Katie whom she is named after. Although, I opted to change the spelling to make it different so we have our own Olivia Kathryn. :)

Anyways, she says the bed is her 'princess bed'. But if I say "Olivia, your a princess so you get the princess bed" she will look at me and then herself and say "I'm not a princess, I am Olivia." Funny girl.
