This past weekend we took Oakley and my sister Bailee to Black Island Farms. We took the hayride and picked some pumpkins to carve. Oakley loved the pumpkin picking part but not the hayride. She had her arms clenched around me and burried her little face in my shoulder the whole time. I couldn't figure out why she didn't like it. She loves the kiddie rides at Lagoon and has no problems with those, but for some reason hated this. Maybe it was because it was dark? I think if she was able to talk she'd tell ya her favorite part of the night were the slides and corn box. She would've played in that corn box all night if we would've let her. She had a little melt down when we took her out. (I can't believe these melt downs are already starting. Thought I had a little longer till those came). Later Bailee and I carved some pumpkins and roasted some seeds. (my favorite part).

We're back....

So it has been forvever since I been on here. I literally haven't been able to sign in to my blog since April. It has taken me this long to figure it out. After hours of reading blogger help forums and leaving help messages I finally figure it out. So much has happened since then. I couldn't possably recap the last 5 months. So I'm just starting fresh from here.

Oakley is now 17 months old (Ican't believe it!). This stage is so much fun. She's such a smartie pants. She has learned her alphabet letters AND Sounds! Yes, this is true. She watched Leap Frog Letter Factory in a one week period and now knows here letters and sounds. I continue to have her watch it along with others and I can't believe how she picks the information up so fast. All day she spouts out letter sounds and even looks for letters as we drive in the car. For example, we went to Hobby Lobby the other day and I swear she acted like a kid at disneyland. We hung out in the parking lot while she stared at the sign on the building and said all the letters a couple times through. And yes, she waved buy to the letters after we left. So Cute! People were walking by laughing at how cute she was. She loves to dance to anything playing on the radio, tv., store intercom etc. That girlie has some good moves and kicks (or so she tries).

Joe and I are doing great. Just staying busy between work and play. For those of you who don't know we're having another baby. A Baby Girl! I'm 18 weeks along and due March 30th. So we've just been trying to get things together and prepared for her to come. So much to do....but my goal is to keep this thing updated. So more post to come.

Easter Fun!

We hope everyone had a great Easter! It was fun spending the weekend with our families. Oakley's first Easter went great! She loved finding the easter eggs and playing with her cousins. So glad the weather wasn't rainy. It went perfectly. (isn't her little Easter dress the cutest)

Crazy Hair!

Just wanted to share what I get to wake up to every morning. I love it!! Her hair is so much fun. This picture really doesn't do it justice, but it'll have to work.

Yeah Kentucky!!!!!

What now people....Kentucky beat Ohio...Yeah!! This is for all you that gave me crap about putting Kentucky up in my bracket..(no names mentioned....JOE!!). Ya Joe convinced me this year to fill out bracket for there competition at his work. And maybe, well ok, I just don't know much about any of the teams. But I had a feeling that this would happen. Kentucky beating Ohio. Joe tried to convince me otherwise. All I have to say is what now! I knew it! Ya we're are definitely having a Kentucky vs North Carolina party on Sunday.So long N. Carolina........

Where did the warm weather go?????

No more snow!! We want warm weather...It was so nice the other week, that I was wishing we had seen the last of the snow and cold. Those hopes are gone :) Oakley and I get so stir crazy sometimes that we just get out the hats, gloves, baby suit, socks, and blankets and bundle up for a quick walk around the neighborhood. She looks so cute! And she loves it (anything to get outside)....but we want the warm weather. (No we did not go out today while it was snowing and raining, we're not that crazy, pic was from the other day :) We'll continue wishing for sunshine....
