Thanksgiving & Stuff

A little late, but here is the Thanksgiving post. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we all ate entirely too much! We had 4 different Thanksgivings in the matter of 2 days, so needless to say, we were busy. We also got Charcey moved into a full size bed, which she loves. My sister and I got out among the craziness on Black Friday around 3:30, although I think it is worth it.

But the most exciting thing is that on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving we found out that Ashley is having a baby girl...that is right, I am having a neice! I am so excited!

More posts to come...I promise.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween! The weather was gorgeous.

Foster, the caterpillar, loved trick or treating! He was so funny.

Charcey, the lady bug, just liked to say "trick or treat, smell my feet...".

They are taking a rest after running around outside.

The only halfway decent picture of both of them smiling.

Charcey loved the wand that the costume had.

Now on to Thanksgiving. Charcey thinks that all turkeys are called "turkey, lurkey", not sure why.

Long Over Due...

Why in the heck is it so hard to blog? I really do not have an excuse. Once again, we have been so busy. Charcey is a mess, she makes us roll in laughter. She is getting so big, and mostly definitely not a baby anymore. Every morning when she get up she says "Look, mama, I got taller and taller...I can go to school now". I just tell her that she has to be my baby a little while longer. Here are a couple of pictures of her and Foster, I tried to get them to smile together, but they were just being silly.

I could eat these kids up. I love them so much.

Also, I turned 30 on Oct 8th. On much to my surprise, Jeremy planned a party. The little trip to Lubbock with my sister and Kelly, was a trick to get me away from the house so that everyone and their dogs (literally) could be at my house when we arrived back in town. It was a great party. It meant so much that Jeremy did all this for me. It was absolutely perfect. I could not have planned a better party myself (and I consider myself the expert :)). I really do have the best husband in the world.

Charcey's shirt said "My mom is 30 and your's is nerdy"...in rhinestones of course.

On Thursday we head to Vegas, for my good friend Kelly's wedding. She is getting married at the Belagio, in front of the fountains. It is going to be gorgeous. Pictures to come.

For MeMe

We may have a performer on our hands :).

She cracks me up.

PS: Please excuse my messy living room.

Oklahoma City Trip

We had a great time in Oklahoma City the past 4 days. It was blazing hot! We went to the zoo, played by the pool, ate at yummy places and did a little shopping. Thanks to MeMe & Pops for the great trip!

Catch Up

Boy, it has been a long time since I have updated! Let me catch you up:

We have gone to Colorado & Oklahoma City, hosted 5 showers, and attended a wedding in the past 6 weeks.

Over July 4th we went to the cabin in Colorado. It was so nice to get away from the heat and enjoy the mountain air!Last weekend, Jeremy's Brother, Brett got married. Reaghan is now officially part of the Payne family. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding!
