First Razorback Game

We are so excited that football season has started! We took Alivia to her first tailgate. Hogs vs. Western Illinois in Fayetteville.

Alivia drove....



Just kidding!

Aleigh stayed with Granny and Pops. It was pretty humid in Fayetteville. Alivia had a lot of fun with all of the other kids that were at the tailgate. She really liked the Razorback statues that are in The Gardens (the new tailgating area at UofA).




The Hogs won the game, but just barely (28-24). Let's hope they are in better shape for the upcoming SEC games. I hate having to rebuild, but I'm glad we have Coach Petrino now.

Aleigh's 15 month check-up

Alexandra had her 15 month check-up yesterday. She was 32 & 3/4 inches long and 21 lbs, 15 & 1/2 oz. She is a full inch taller than Alivia was at her 16 month check-up! Both girls are still in the 95th percentile for height. Aleigh has dropped down into the 50th percentile for weight, but Dr. Miller says thats just genetics. They are both going to be tall and thin if they continue to grow like they have been.



In Alivia news....She has a new imaginary friend. He is a nice, friendly, blue monster named "Cup Sugar". (I'm not sure if his name is one word or two, but it looks better as two!) She cracks me up!

Well, this week is my first week working part time! I haven't worked any since the 7th of August. Tomorrow will be my first day back, and even though I won't be working nearly as much, I still dread it. I am going to finish filling out paper work for Wal-Mart today. That is going to be my back-up job, just in case things don't work out at the hospital.

Alivia's first riding lesson

Alivia had a riding lesson before we went to Destin. She is always talking about riding, so Shawn decided to take her. She rode on "Star". She had fun and did a really great job!

Destin

We just got back from Destin. We had a great time! We had pretty large group: Me, Shawn, the girls, my mom and dad, my brother and his daughter (MaRae), and my sister and her husband. The girls loved the beach! We had a couple of good days on the beach, and then it started storming. The waves were coming in 6-9 feet high, so the beaches were closed for 2 days. Luckily, on our last day, the storms moved out and we were able to get some family pictures. Of course, the wind was blowing hard, so our hair is quite the sight! Oh, well!

We also took the girls to the Gulfarium. Alivia watched some of the dolphin show, but she spent most of the time serenading me with the "Rubber Ducky" song. Aleigh just ate crackers and watched everybody else. Then she got squirmy, so we played "pass the baby" to every family member.

Welcome to the blog!

I have been trying to find an easier way to keep in touch with friends and family besides email. I like to send out pictures of the girls, but sometimes they can't be opened by some people. I thought about starting a web page, but didn't have much success with that! A friend of mine has a blog here, and I thought I would give it a try! I will keep this updated as often as possible. Of course, I will post plenty of pictures of the girls!
