This little sweetheart loves her Daddy very much! So do I...he gets up in the middle of the night for diaper duty, helps out with cookin', runs errands, and works very hard for his girls!

Happy Birthday, Debbie!

Happy Birthday to the greatest sister and friend a girl could ever ask for! (She may not think that of me since I choose this beautimus picture of her!)

Arilynn wishes her Aunt Debbie a Happy Birthday, too! She loves all the spoilin she receives from her!

Happy Birthday, Wesley!

Today is Wesley's "Golden" birthday...26 on the 26th!

Arilynn and I want to wish a Happy Birthday to the #1 man in our lives! We don't know what we would do without him and we love him very much!!!!!!!!!!

Still a Cutie!

She loves taking a bath! She's all snuggled up in one of Grandma's handy towels...
She's Mommy's buddy! Although, she really loves her Daddy, too!

Now, if we could just figure out how to make her Mommy's picture look good too...

One Month Already!

She was smiling a lot this morning...until I got my camera out!

Little Bo Peep

My husband brought me home flowers & ice cream last night. What more could a girl ask for? (Besides the ice cream being applied to her hips.)

Happy Fall!

Today is the first day of fall, so "Happy Fall Ya'll!"

I love fall with the changing of the leaves, weenie-roasts, hayrides, wearing sweaters, cool nights, etc. However, I don't really enjoy what comes after...actually, I like winter and snow until Christmas, then I'm over it! :)

The bear is something new I'm trying with my "addiction." It's called paper piecing for all you scrapbook junkies. However, it's a little more time consuming than just stamping an image and coloring it. But, it's still fun!...

Updates

Arilynn had her 1 month checkup yesterday! (Good grief, where does time go?) She is now at 7 lbs 14 oz and 21 in long for those who care. She is such a good little baby and a super QT!

Got my house almost clean, put up some fall decorations, and made 40 Christmas cards in about 5 hours! Feels good to get something accomplished besides feeding my little piggy. :) Although, it has been a good excuse to sit and read.

Company cometh...must go sweep...

Blast From The Past...

So, do you think I should just stick to posting pictures of Arilynn? :) This cracked me up!

(This is what we were supposed to look like in old yearbooks. They have from 50's to 2000...I like how Wesley and I's graduation year is considered "old.")

(Please excuse our "worldliness.")

...to Grandmother's House we go...

This weekend we went to Mom's house. Arilynn met all kinds of new people!! Grandma showed her off quite a bit, even going so far as to chase someone down in Wal-Mart dodging down aisles, having us throw people out of the way, knocking down cereal boxes, and the manager escorting us out due to "wild behavior." (Ok, so she wasn't that far away from where we were, but it sounded good!) I think she might be a little proud!...

AAAGGGGHHHHH...she found her thumb!!!Tuckered out from the busy weekend!

Picture Time

What she really thought of my little photo shoot..."Enough already Mom!"

Remembering 9/11

Happy 50th!

Happy 50th Birthday Great Uncle Curt!!
The outfit you bought me is still a little big, but mommy put it on me today just for you!
(Wesley and I wish you a Happy 50th Birthday, also!!!!!)

Friends

Arilynn has developed a new friendship rather quickly at church! Emmett loves her!!! He kept following us around on Sunday and if anyone else was holding her, he would tell them to give her back. He's fascinated with her and it's just too cute!!!

Her long awaited piggies...

Mommy

Arilynn

So, who do you think she looks like? Her Mommy or Daddy?

Evening Walk

What a brisk, wonderful, quiet evening...it felt so good outside here!!!! We decided to take advantage of the Dairy Queen down the road and took Arilynn for her first stroller ride.

Nana & Papa Grissom are here enjoying her, too!

Sweet Girl

One of the outfits Aunt Debbie bought her on Monday...the skirt is still a little big.

Daddy comes home on lunch break and scoops her up!

She likes the seat Sheila T. gave her.

I'll try to get pictures of her feet on here, but she doesn't hold her legs still long enough and they all turn out blurry!

Night-time Blessings

For the past three nights, Arilynn has only gotten me up once! I've been feeding her about 11:30 and she hasn't been getting up until about 5. Now, that still is a ridiculous hour, but I'll take it! She's a good little girl! Of course, after she gets up, then she eats & eats & eats & eats...she has her Daddy's appetite. Hopefully, she'll have his genes of staying thin too!!!
She's still a cutie!!!!!!! Hope to get more pictures on here soon, but seriously, how many pictures do you want to see of her sleeping?!?!?

Happy Labor Day!

This was my official due date...so glad that's already over with! Arilynn is such a wonderful little blessing and Wesley & I couldn't imagine life without her!
She's trying to decide whether she wants to go back to sleep.

Aunt Debbie is here and is wanting to go shopping and do some spoiling! Mommy here says, "Let's go!"
