Slumber Party

We have one more wedding to attend in 2010 and I am so thrilled for this couple! In a little less than a month Ivy is going to marry Drew. Her bachelorette weekend might be one of my all time favorites. Definitely best theme ever...bachelorette: "junior high slumber party style." It doesn't hurt having a photographer, a cake designer, a graphic designer and many other super talented friends plan the weekend as well!

Bride to be - Ivy

The perfect set-up for our party
making pizza

And of course, time spent on the lake



And we got to skype with Melanie
So grateful and blessed by all these friendships.

Halloween

Pizza. Costumes. Sugar. 5 kids under 3. Lots of pictures. More friends. And parents = lots of chaotic fun for our Halloween festivities!

Our little cow

C learned the "mmmmmm" of the mooooo

Cute little horse

The construction worker was quite smitten!

Best pic we could get with the dads.

We didn't even attempt to have a picture with only kids.

Trick or Treating to see Uncle Rob and Aunt Rachel

And Trick or Treating just turned into staying...

Have I mentioned C likes to "talk" on my phone?

I think she has watched me talk too much!

Lindsey and Blake

This weekend we celebrated Lindsey and Blake. I have known Lindsey as long as I can remember. Lindsey (and Anna) are the like little sisters to me. The 3 of us have endless memories playing dolls, sleepovers, swimming together all summer, talking about boys, riding to school together, Auburn, sorority, and many many lunch dates. I have loved watching Lindsey fall in love with Blake over the last 2 years. And it was a honor to stand beside her this weekend. We do not all have many opportunities to be together now and so I have loved seeing them so much in October.

Bridesmaids luncheon

Mom and her friends host the best bridesmaids luncheons

Isn't she beautiful?

Of course, we all transported in Barb's mini-van!

Congrats Lindsey and Blake!

Blue Angels and Pumpkins

A few weeks ago we had the chance to go to the Blue Angels show. John was beyond thrilled. I was excited too, but didn't really know what to expect. The husband of my sister-in-law's best friend is one of the Blue Angel pilots. Hope you were able to follow that "Kevin Baconish" connection. Turns out I enjoyed the show as much as John. It was truly one of the most amazing things to watch. I do not understand how they do it. At some points during the show they are only flying 4 feet apart from one another! That is crazy! Check out their schedule here and go to one of the shows if they are ever in your area.

Frank is the pilot for #5

We also hit up the pumpkin patch the same weekend. Caroline didn't really know what to think, but I think she had a good time looking at all the people and pumpkins!

Auburn

We headed down to the beautiful plains this weekend with my family. It is not possible to express how much I love Auburn - the town, the university, the people, the football! Everytime we drive into town, I ask John if we can move there one day. I would love to say we go to Auburn every weekend, but right now I am grateful all my family can at least go to one game all together because I know that might not be possible one day.

Months ago we picked AU/LSU game so my fam could be here to celebrate C's bday too. Little did we know it would be one of the biggest games this season with two teams undefeated and in the top 10.

Just incase you have been in hiding this week and didn't know, Auburn won! And I won't say this more than once, but it is sweet to be ranked #1 too! :) If there are any of you readers out there who have never been to Auburn, please tell me. I will take you because you must go!

This pic was too good not to share. Thanks ESPN.
