pumpkin carving

Quentin carved our pumpkin Thursday night, with a little help(er). Emer would not touch the "guts."

Look at that sweet mouth!

Melts my heart!

finishing up (Emer is playing with stickers (which she LOVES))

BOO!

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun, safe night!

photo shoot

I was trying to get some cute pics for the Gap casting call & these are my faves. I would post a link to vote for her but Gap is having issues with my entries. I will post a link later, if they get their issues fixed. SORRY!

She is such the little ham!!

A cute one I forgot to put in my last post. She looks grown up in this shot!!

Friday happies

I am trying to catch up so that I can post Halloween pics. Here are some cute shots I have taken over the last couple weeks.

loves her fridge magnets

super cool

pigtails

another pigtail (I couldn't decide which one I liked better)

my little hula girl

I made this pumpkin barrette one night after she went to bed & did not realize it was so BIG! Oh well, she likes it anyway. Speaking of pumpkins, I will make a pumpkin carving post in the next day or so. Happy Friday everyone!

another trip to the zoo

As I have mentioned before we have a zoo membership so we go a lot & LOVE IT! This may be one of the best gifts we have ever gotten. (HINT, HINT GiGi!) The weather this day was perfect & all of the animals were active.

super excited about eating lunch next to the monkey's

you can tell she is smiling by looking at her cheeks


it liked the attention, like it doesn't get enough

showing the monkey's her monkey's on her dress

PIG!

Kentucky

We had a blast at the Kentucky game (it did not hurt that Ole Miss won.) I was excited to debut my first creation... Emer's pillowcase dress. I think it turned out cute and it was super easy. I think I am going to try to make her some ruffle pants next.

checking out the food

She looks like she is telling on someone but that hasn't started, yet.

I wish I knew what she was thinking sometimes.

fun filled days

Oh! How sweet it is to stay home with my lovely daughter every single day! We have so much fun. Emerson is really getting into creative things and I like creative things. The below pictures were randoms from last month that I think deserve to be seen.

double mum mum's


I thought I had cleaned up the yogurt when she left the table but noticed her face a little while later. How did I miss this???



homemade play dough


started as a Christmas tree with ornaments then she kept adding more

finished project

Mid-South Fair

I can not explain how excited I was last year when they moved the fair to our "backyard" but we didn't end up getting to go so I made sure we went this year. Q took a half day & we really enjoyed getting to go during the day when it was not crowded. Emerson liked the petting zoo, pig races & rides. The weather could not have been more perfect but the food was not as good as I remember from the past. Maybe now I just realize how bad all that food is for me!

trying to get out of the "bucket"

still happy even though Daddy wouldn't let me out of the "bucket"

I have a couple more posts & will TRY to get them up this weekend. STAY TUNED!

Disney on Ice

Minnie Mouse is the bees knees around the Boyd house these days. Disney on Ice came to Memphis last month so we went to see Minnie. As expected, Emerson had a great time. She was mesmerized by the show. The pictures are not great but I wanted to make a post so she can easily look back some day.
