Deals & Suckers!

This morning after breakfast I hear, "Uh oh"- (which by the way is a new favorite word around our house). I ran into the laundry room & Avery had made her way into the pantry & grabbed the bag of suckers off the shelf. I had no clue she could reach that high. Time to baby proof that room!

...She was sitting in a pile of suckers in lala land!



I had to grab my camera, I saw a great photo opportunity!



Poor thing, she wanted one SO bad. So I let her suck on one while I held it. I only took it away for a sec to take a pic & then I threw it away. She wasn't happy until I distracted her with a "tutie", (cookie).



Our town always has a huge consignment sale twice a year where over 7,000 people consign. They said tonight that there were over 65,000 items being sold. Wow! It was finally time for the fall sale which I was super excited about. I always find the best deals for Avery & some of her cutest outfits come from this place for a VERY reasonable price!

My sweet Mom came with me & bought Ave a bunch of clothes & goodies too, to help me out. I love spending one on one time with my Momma, she is so much fun, & has the best things to talk about! I am so thankful for her!

I think we did pretty good & I am pretty sure we closed the place down. We ended up spending a total of $160.00 between the both of us! Pretty good for everything we got!



My favorite purchase was the dresses! These are so cute! Makes me ready for winter so I can dress her up for church!



Im thinking this will be her Christmas dress. It's so beautiful in person.



I loved this Halloween outfit. It is reversable which made me super excited!




We went a little crazy on some black shoes, but they were brand new!



Oh my, I thought these were just too cute for fall/winter. But, they have a "squeaker" in them, so I am not sure if I will like them much after Ave wears them for a day. Maybe we will save these for Mamee & Nanna's house!



My mom bought this for Ave. I am going to surprise her with it when she wakes up. It makes noise. I am sure she is going to fall in love!



Today was a great day with Ave. We ran errands ALL DAY! I have been super busy because I am in the process of doing a project for a friend that lives out of town. I will explain in detail when I am finished. I can't wait to share- it's SUPER DUPER CUTE!!!!

Our last weekend in August!!!

First things first! In our house, it's RAZORBACK WEEK! The first game starts on Saturday & we are so excited that we are sporting our Razorback gear all week! Let the countdown begin... We have a full day planned of tailgating before the game that evening.





Can you believe that we just had our last weekend in August!? Wow, before we know it FALL will be here. I am stoked! I have already done some fall shopping & found all kinds of goodies for my Halloween table! I can't wait to decorate! I have never really done Halloween but I decided it was time to do something crazy on my big table so it's going to be fun.

Friday was GNO- "GIRLS NIGHT OUT"! Us Mommy friends had a fun dinner & enjoyed listening to music! It was such a great night!














Saturday Chad & I enjoyed cleaning around the house. We detailed the garage, cleaned around the house, did laundry... It was great! I love getting things in order!

Saturday night my parents enjoyed Avery while we had a game night with friends. We all brought a dish & enjoyed stuffing our faces. After dinner we enjoyed playing, "Woman are from Venus, Men are from Mars". It was the funniest game! We all laughed so hard that the next day my stomach was sore! Hilarious!












We spent Sunday afternoon at the park. The weather was perfect & there was such a nice breeze!











Sunday evening we had Avery's pictures taken with my niece, Stella. Lacey Kohl is a photographer in our area & she did such a great job! Check out her site, HERE! My sister in law has been using her this past year for all of her pictures of Stella & they just turn out so great. Thought I would share a sneak peek!

Ave & Stella with their Mamee before we left!



I made Ave this bow for her pictures, I thought it was so fun- I had to share! It matched Stella's skirt that was leopard!



These cousins are so happy... they love being around each other & you can tell they truly love each other so much! Makes my heart melt!
