Another eventful FALL WEEKEND

Wow! Another busy bee weekend! Now that Avery is getting a little older, it's been exciting because we are actually able to take her places and she is alert and wants to see everything. She can hold her head up completely so it's nice to carry her and sit her up in her stroller to see the world. She really enjoys it!

So what is Avery up to? ALOT! Most importantly, not sleeping, HA! Momma is EXHAUSTED! I took her to the doctor last week for her shots. She did great, but ran a slight fever one day and felt bad. Bless her heart. She now is weighting in at a wopping 14.5 lbs and is 24 3/4 long! She is going to be taller than her momma... more like her daddy! Love it! Along with shots, the doctor said she is teething. So, that is the reason for my sleepless nights. We are up about 2 times an HOUR people... 2! It's very hard for me because as soon as I fall asleep, she wakes up again. So my sleep is very broken. It's completely worth it, Im not complaining... but a girl can say she's tired right? YIKES! Somehow I just get up and make it through yet another day on no sleep & find myself with energy that I didn't know existed. That is the Lord, because I pray everynight... PLEASE HELP HER SLEEP TONIGHT!!!! Im also trying to not to complain because I am a stay at home mom and can rest if need be during the day, but I don't! I should! All you ladies having babies.. just when you think you have it down.. you don't. Their patterns change, they change, nothing is EVER the same. But, worth it!

Despite the sleep, we managed to have another jam packed eventful weekend with friends. We were supposed to go out to dinner with a group of them Friday night but stayed home because Avery wasn't feeling 100%. So Saturday we woke up early after no sleep to "CALL THOSE HOGS"!!! You can tell your a HOG fan when you wake up early to fight crowds in the cold at the game. Our friends David & Amy sat around with us before the game and we all hung out in our parking spot before we had to walk in. The game was great- and we SMOKED Auburn, that's what I like to hear. (Sorry Auburn fans)....




After the game we rushed back into town to make our good friends daughters 1st birthday! Saylor Jane turned 1 and looked adorable. We celebrated with Chilli and lots of friends and laughs. She was pretty darn cute eating her cake....






Chad and I went shopping with Avery too that evening!

Sunday we went to church which was great! The service was on "We are Free"!!! It's going to be a good series in Romans 8. Im looking forward to it! After church we made our way with 15 of our friends to the "Corn Maze"! We all played with the kids as they did little rides and such. Everyone was laughing because I got on this little cow ride with Avery and it was a small little thing for me to fit in, haha! We all walked around, took a hay ride, went into the corn maze, and just enjoyed lots of fellowship and fun with our families/friends. God has really blessed us with some sweet friends!






















Hope everyone has a great Monday!

SWAP til ya drop party!

Last night was our girls "Swap til ya drop" party and it was amazing! If any of you girls out there are looking for a change in wardrobe and need something different, have a swap party with your girlfriends! My friend Rachel, Tara, & her mom threw it at Rachel's house! It was so much fun! We all brought 3 pieces of clothing, purses, shoes, scaves, whatever we chose.... and drew numbers and had to pick out something we liked.... but we couldn't steal it from each other. What we got was safe. I was eyeing this adorable white coat that my gal Amy brought and I was # 1 so I got it! WHAAAWHHOO!!! It was such a nice evening out with the girls, we love to get together and have good ole' clean fun and laughs!

This weekend is crazy! We have the hog game tomorrow and we have to leave EARLY!! Then we have a birthday party for the daughter of some of our good friends which I am super excited about because her hubbs was sent off to train for the FBI and we haven't seen him in months so we are exciting he is coming home for the party and we all get to see him! Avery gets to go to her first friends birthday party. So exciting! Sunday we are driving to another huge pumpkin patch an hour away to enjoy fun with a group of our friends and all the kids!

Enjoy some super fun pics from our party!!!

Afternoon with Avery's cousin!!!!

Last night was rough. Avery is teething. I feel a slight knot on her lower gums and she is drooling like crazy amongst a few other things that makes me know she is definitely teething. She was up most of the night and I got 2 hours of sleep. Totally worth it and I just cared for her the best I knew how. I love loving on her when she isn't well, it's the BEST medicine! I'm exhausted today but managed to have a great day anyway!

We went over to my sister in law Kara's to play with her beautiful daughter Stella. Avery's little cousin! They are 3 months apart and are so stinkin' fun! We had so much fun hanging out and talking! Here area few pictures of our day... and also a sneak peak at Avery in her adorable fall hat/jacket that my best friend Lindsey had made esepcially for her. She loves it, can you tell????

One of those days but loving me some style

Have you ever just had one of those days where nothing goes right? Well that was me this morning. I had my weekly woman's Bible Study class at the church and unfortunately I was unable to go. I had everything ready, got up early, and packed Avery in the car. She was having a FIT. She wasn't up for going AT ALL today so 1/2 way there I turned around. I felt so horrible thinking about putting her in the nursery and just leaving her there for 2 hours when she was SO upset. It was the little poor pitiful goat cry. Gets me every time!

Last night I went to bed at 10:00 so I could get up early and prepare for today. But, of course she woke up almost every hour unhappy and momma didn't get any rest. So, today is a yucky rainy day here in NWA so we are lounging around and playing. I absolutely LOVE these days!

Of course I am cruising the net while she is napping and found a few more of my other fall "must haves". Being a new mommy doesn't mean you can't still have some style girls... I love anything fashion so here are a few:

First, I am really into black nail polish right now. No I am not goth or trying to be but it's really in. Short nails with DARK! I like greys too, my BFF Linz got me into those colors. So my nails are short and dark right now and I am loving it!


Of course I am into boots! I think they make any outfit look adorable. You can be wearing something as simple as a white T & jeans and look HOT with a scarf added to it!


Speaking of scarves, see how cute this can be together and add a touch to an outfit? Also, I had several people e-mail me and ask me where I got my zebra scarf in the last post. It's from Franchescas, you can find it HERE


Purple, purple, purple!!! I am all about the purple! Anything purple is cute this season!


And finally.. BELTS! I am into adding a belt to ANYTHING!! You can see it in the above pic, but here is a new belt that I am loving and would be perfect for any Razorback game!


Happy TUESDAY!!!!
