Birthday Weekend

My birthday was October 8th and it fell on a Thursday. Doug brought me sweets from Rosie's Cookies and Cupcakes shop and treated me to a wonderful dinner at Park Heights. On Friday we headed to Oxford after work because the Rebels had a home game against New Mexico State and it was homecoming weekend. We had a wonderful time celebrating in Oxford at Old Taylor Grocery with my mom, dad, Mary, John, and Tucker. The game on Saturday was at 11am and I sent Doug and Will to the game and Luke and I chilled at the condo. I went to the square and went shopping and ran some errands in Oxford. AFter the game was over, Alecia and her kiddos headed to Oxford and we grilled steaks and shrimp at the condo and had a fun time. Alecia and her kiddos spent the night and we had one giant slumber party at the condo. It was a great birthday weekend! 

Blessed to be the momma of these 2 sweet boys

Buffalo Park Pumpkin Patch

Monday was a bank holiday and we enjoyed a great day of having fun. We started the day off at the pumpkin patch at the Buffalo Park then we headed to get flu shots, eat lunch, and then a nap and laundry. I enjoyed the day off work with Doug, Will and Luke.

St. Peter's Pumpkin Patch

Every year in Oxford, St. Peter's church puts out pumpkins around their church and people use it as an opportunity to take fall pictures. The pumpkins are for sale and the money goes back to the church. I love this time of the year and I absolutely love it when the pumpkins are out at the church. It makes for a wonderful photo session and that's exactly what we did last weekend.

Alecia and her kids, and Mary, John, and Tucker all participated in the fall photo session. We had a great time taking pictures of the kiddos.

Luke is 5 months old

Luke turns 5 months old today. He is really starting to come out of his shell. He is very loud and loves to babble all the time. He cracks me up sometimes. He can't roll over yet but is trying really hard too. He loves to eat and eat and would do it all day long if he could. He eats a fruit and a vegetable of stage 1 baby food a day. He LOVES the food. He can hold his head up very well when he's on his tummy.

Luke wears a 6-9 months clothes and is outgrowing all the clothes big brother has handed down. I'm not sure about his weight but if I had to guess he is probably around 16-18 lbs at most. He will go back for another set of shots and a check up in November. 

We are so thankful for Luke and what he means to our family.

Happy Birthday Doug

Happy 35th Birthday Doug! We are so thankful for you and what you do for our family. The boys and I love you more than life itself.

Thankful that you had a wonderful birthday full of relaxation and lots of football. 

Also today marks 1 year ago that I had a positive pregnancy test and found out we were pregnant again. We are glad Baby Luke decided to surprise us all last year! 

We are spending a wonderful evening in Oxford cheering on the Ole Miss Rebels and hoping for a Hotty Toddy victory tonight over Alabama in Tuscaloosa. 

Ole Miss vs Fresno State

This past weekend was another beautiful weekend in Oxford. The weather was cooler around 70s and it was perfect football weather. We enjoyed a fun time tailgating and also an Ole Miss Rebel win. The Rebels won 73-21 over Fresno State. It was a great game!
