Pumpkin Festival

Last weekend my mom and I took Kyleigh and her dog Grizzly to the Pumpkin Festival in Hartsburg, MO. We all had a lot of fun. My mom and I even got to take a wine tasting break. It was yummy. Kyleigh only got to drink juice and Grizzly he really got the short end of the stick with only getting water. So enjoy the photos. These are for you Diana!

Play Date in Jeff City

So last weekend Kyleigh and I had nothing planned on Saturday except to watch the Nebraska game with daddy when he got off work. So we decided to go to Jefferson City to see Natalie and Braden. Braden is one month and ten days older than Kyleigh. It was a really fun day we played, went to lunch, and even took a trip to Target. It turns out that Kyleigh was not feeling well all day due to some teeth that were trying to come in and Braden was learning about having friends and girls. He just wasnt sure what to make of Kyleigh playing with his toys. But it was a great day and I am so glad that Natalie and Braden invited us to play and we cannot wait to do it again!

Reade's Birthday

So I was informed by a good friend of mine that I am slacking on writing. So I am finally posting about Reade's brithday weekend. He turned 24 on September 27th and on Friday night I caught up on some sleep and house work after my stepmom and sister picked up Kyleigh. Then we went to a friends house and watched a movie and had a couple of drinks. Saturday I went and got my hair done it was a disater but in the end I got it fixed and I am now a brunette. On the bright side I found a new love seat and couch that day from Ashley furniture I will have to post a photo of that later.

Saturday night we went to the Duece with friends and had a few drinks. Reade got really drunk and I got tipsy after that we went home to have some alone time. I just didn't feel like going to any after party!

Sunday we went to Ashley furniture and bought our new coffee table and end table. Then we went to lunch with Ryan at taco bell. After that we headed down to my grandparents in Marshall where we met up with my parents, my sister, and my sisters boyfriend for some gifts and some cake. Reade got money, a new mizzou jacket, an ipod, and some mizzou headphones. It was a good day and I was happy to have Kyleigh back.

If you want to see more photos I will post them on facebook!

TGIF

So it is Friday and I am in the office wrapping a few things up getting ready for the weekend. Kyleigh is off to her grandparents this weekend to give Reade and I some much needed time to ourselves. Its his birthday tommorow and I super excited I got him a bunch of great stuff. I am also going to get my hair done tommorow and get my eyebrows done. Well I am going to sign off with a few recent random pictures I have taken of Kyleigh in the last few days.

So in this last one she is teething and the only thing she likes to suck on or chew on is clean slightly frozen washcloths.

Catch Up

So today Reade and I are celebrating two years of being together. We have had rocky moments but it has been an amazing adventure. I could not thank God anymore than I do for my "second chance"! Also his brithday is coming up on Saturday and I am so excited Kyleigh and I got him some great gifts. I will blog about that as soon as I can. Kyleigh is going to grandma and grandpa's for the weekend so that we can have some alone time.

I also wanted to post some photos below of when we went down to see Reade's family in Advance, MO which is right outside Cape Girardeau, MO. We got to see new baby nephew Karson and my nephew Kaden. They are both beautiful boys. We also took Kyleigh and me on our first trip to Lambert's where they throw the rolls at you. It was fun lots and lots of food. All in all it was a good trip.

If you want to see more photos just go to my facebook or I can send you a link to my photo albums.

Good Evening! So things are going well for us here in good old Columbia, MO. Kyleigh is about to turn nine months old and I cannot believe it. She has four teeth and is working on two or three more. We are in the process of packing up some of her baby stuff and it is sad. But we are getting to explore even more fun things. Reade and I are doing well we have been married for two wonderful months and both continue to grow in each others love and in Kyleigh.

This weekend was fun we went to my friend Jennifer's wedding who actually married my third cousin Joshua Calhoun. I got to see family I had not seen in years and it was a good time.

Then on Sunday my wonderful big baby sister left for Japan for a year. It was a tough evening saying goodbye to her on Saturday evening. The only person she cried over was her 'chunky monkey' which is Kyleigh. She and Kyleigh are very close and very fond of each other. I know that this is a great experience for her but I am still a little sad. We wish her well and miss her like crazy. But she seems to be doing very very well!
