Happy Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween! We went to a Halloween party and everyone was supposed to dress up. As of this morning, Brian and I didn't have a costume. I saw several cute costumes on the Today Show this morning and decided that I could make one. I went as a gas tank and Brian went as the gas pumper! The party was in such a great neighborhood. The bottom picture is of tons of pumpkins that the entire street carved. It was really cool. Ellie trick or treated for an hour and came away with about 8 pieces of candy. (all of which were eaten before we got home...thanks Brian!) As we were putting Ellie to bed, she threw everything up! I guess it wouldn't be a good Halloween if you didn't eat so much that you make yourself sick! We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!

Date Night with the Girls

Brian had a "date night' with his girls last night. We went to eat Mexican and the to watch the Predators play! Ellie wore her favorite jersey and had so much fun! Thanks Brian for a fun night!

Sweet Daddy

Ellie bought this pumpkin for Brian several weeks ago when we went to the pumpkin patch. Brian took it to his office and kept it there. He was really sad that he didn't get to participate in the pumpkin carving festivities at the Conyer's. While at work yesterday, Brian carved his pumpkin for Ellie! (with his letter opener!) What a sweet daddy!

Pumpkin Carving with the Conyers

Ellie and I had such a fun afternoon. We went to Ellie's friend Kennedy's house for a playdate. We carved pumpkins while we were there. I cheated and used a kit, but Wally did his old school! Whitney thought it needed a nose, but Wally thought it was perfect the way it was. After carving the pumpkins, we met Brian for dinner at Sportsman's Grill. What a fun day!

Ellie's First Buckeye Football Game

Ellie got to experience her first Ohio State Football game this weekend. We had a blast...even thought the Buckeyes couldn't pull out a win! Our cousins have just re-done this ambulance for the tailgates! It is awesome! Go Bucks!

Birthday Shout Out to Aunt Nan

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Aunt Nan...Happy Birthday to you! Aunt Nan is Ellie's Aunt/Godmother...and boy is she a good one. Everyone needs an Aunt Nan!

2. Her house is so much fun to visit...nothing but the best for her guests!
3. She introduced Brian to Nordstrom's! (and Tommy!)
4. She let me live with her for a whole summer! I had an incredible summer working for her!

10. She is by far the sweetest, most caring, fun person we know. We are honored to have her in our lives and for her to be Ellie's God-mother! Thanks for all you do for us. Happy Birthday Aunt Nan!

Gentry's Farm

We had a great time this weekend with Nana and Pop! They came and brought us an awesome couch for our playroom. Saturday we took Ellie to Gentry's Farm! We had a fabulous day. Thanks for coming Nana and Pop! We miss you already.

Ellie's first trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

A Few More Details...and 1 Clarification

We had a blast in Mississippi! Ellie loved getting at the top of the driveway and flying down the hill. I used to do the same thing when I was little. She also got to play in the playhouse at NaNa's...which is where she added several more pieces to her already huge jewelry collection. Es and BA took her for a ride in the golf cart and let her drive. BA said that she drove just like her DADDY! I believe we could check the driving records of both of us to confirm who has a better one. That is all I will say about that!

Thanks Mom for the awesome food and hospitatlity! Thank you for keeping Ellie while we got to go to the MSU game. It was fun. We love you!

Homecoming in Aberdeen!

This weekend we went to Aberdeen to visit CB's family. On Saturday, we went to the Mississippi State v. Vanderbilt game with Adam and Stephanie. Terrible game; good outcome. Regardless, we had fun in Starkville.

Enough about us, now what everyone visits the site for...pictures of Ellie.

BA had a Cozy Coupe waiting on Ellie. Let's just say that she drives like her MOTHER!

More coming pictures coming...
