Happy Halloween!!!!

Of course, the girls don't have their costumes on, but I wanted to take pictures of them with their pumpkins. Olivia decorated hers. I will post pictures of them with their costumes on after tonight. We hope that everyone has a safe and fun time trick-or-treating! This will be Julia's 1st Halloween and Olivia's 1st time going trick-or-treating! She is so excited about being able to ring doorbells! haha! :)

A little update!! Julia cut her 1st little tooth last week! Also, today she was in her crib playing and I could hear her on the monitor. She started getting fussy and said "Ma" about 2 or 3 times and then all of a sudden said "Mama" about 3 or 4 times! I was so excited!! She knew her mama's birthday is Sunday and just wanted to give me my present early! :) What else could I ask for!!!!!

1st Halloween!

what a little cutie!

Julia just wanted to knaw on the stem.

Our Big Girls!

Julia turned 7 months on the 19th! These are just a few pictures that I snapped over the past week. She is getting so big and it's so hard to believe! She is trying her best to crawl all over the place. At times, she pulls herself around with her arms and other times she gets up and makes a couple of crawl steps. Another big milestone happened the other day...she said DA-DA!!!!! YEAH!!! She has been talking up a storm and Monday she finally said it! We were all so excited.

I have no idea where she learned how to pose like this?!

eating like a big girl!

Camping & Thomas the Train!!

Last weekend, the girls and I went down to Veterans State Park and camped with my family. This was Julia's first camping trip so I was nervous to see how she was going to do. Luckily, she was great! Olivia loves camping with Mammy and Pappy but for some reason it always causes night terrors. I think she gets so excited and gets so stimulated that she never has time to unwind. She just plays with her cousins until she falls out. Anyways, Saturday, we went to ride Thomas the Train. The park was having "A Day Out With Thomas". It was the girls and my first time riding a train which was really neat. Olivia couldn't believe that we were actually riding Thomas. We got to see "Sir Tophamhat", get train tatoos, play in the bouncy houses and so much more! It was really a blast! The weather could have been a little nicer for us, but at least it wasn't raining at the time we were doing all of this! Hopefully next time we go, Daddy will be able to come along too!

Our visit with Uncle Bubba!

On the way home from a mission, my brother had to stop in Marietta for a night. As soon as I found out, we hit the road to go see him. I was so excited but I think Livi was more excited than me! This was the 1st time that he had seen Julia. The girls were getting colds, so Julia wasn't in the best mood. We are just very thankful to have gotten to see him and spend some time with him!

I would have to say that Julia looks like Bubba's child in this picture...isn't that crazy!

Yeah, it looks like Olivia is mine and Julia is his!
