BIG weekend AND a BIG loss

*****WARNING.....A LOT OF PICTURES**************

Our tent sign!!!
my dad letting it be known that he is a Kentucky fan

The Congleton's and Skipper's back in Auburn!!


great pic of my mom and CC

even my cousin, Katelyn, made it down from Lexington to watch the game. It was fun to see her in Auburn.

CC, Andi, and Alex taking a break from playing!

Sophia and CC! The second we parked the car CC started screaming "Sophia, where are you? I can't see you" I might have to stop telling her that we are going to see Sophia b/c she becomes obsessed, but they are SOOOO cute together

We took Sophia and CC to the tiger walk. It was the first time I've been....fun!

cute pic!

Coach Chizik

We had to get a pic with the biggest Auburn fan around!

notice where our seats were.....the top row was Row 63....our seats were in Row 61

I LOVE AUBURN!!!!!

Sunday, my aunt, March, and I spent the day sewing. She showed me a much easier, faster way to make these cute pants and we made a cute Christmas dress for CC. I'll put pics up once I make the pants to match.

This weekend we headed to Auburn for the game. We got a tent from the tailgate guys- they are BRILLIANT!! They set up everything for you- you just show up and tailgate. They will even cater and you can rent TVs too! It was so much fun to be in Auburn again. It has changed so much. Even though we lost to Kentucky (the first time since 1966- my dad was one happy camper!) and it was SUPER cold, we had the best time. My cousin, Courtney, and aunt March kept Emory all day- thanks so much! She had the best time (once you fed her!!!:):):)

dishes in the sink, clothes in the dryer

BUT........

I have been productive! I made 2 pair of pants for little CC! (actually 3 but the other pair needs a little work). I am so stinkin' excited about them. I tried to get some pictures of CC in them, but not such luck. Oh well.....I'll sneak one when she's not looking.

Now, I need to make matching ones for little Emory and we're set!

This weekend we.....

went to dinner with some great friends. One of which is pregnant!!! And I couldn't be happier for her. Sarah is my best friend from high school and she is 17 weeks pregnant- and looks amazing! I am soooooo sooooo sooooo happy for her!
went over to the Meacham's house to watch the game! War Eagle (even though it was a horrible game and had these 4 adorable cheerleaders)

we watched CC and Sophia change outfits 10 different times and skip their nap (which later came back to bite us in the 'you-know-what')

bounced until we fell asleep!

tried on our Halloween costume for the first time

slept in our Halloween costume (I have the same picture of Christian in her first Halloween costume doing the same thing!)

went to our church fall festival for games and fun

smiled for many pictures!

woke up happy! (always a plus!)

got a balloon flower!

laughed at our daddy taking our picture

went to visit baby Kate and take the Scroggins' dinner.

hope that sweet Ava feels better (has had a fever all weekend- boo!)

Special Snack

Every Friday, Christian's class has a special snack. this week was Christian's week. So, I made these adorable frog cupcakes. I saw them and just knew that all of CC's school's friends would LOVE them. Aren't they so cute! Next week they are learning the letter 'F', so were are getting a head start on the 'F' words- Frogs!

CC is napping now, so she hasn't seen them....she will love them. Now the task will be keeping CC's little fingers out of the icing.

Soccer tonight! She's liking more and more every week. Let's hope we can make it a full practice/game without tears......who knows!

attempt

Okay....so I was blog stalking and looked at Mary Michael's blog. I loved the little shirt she made, and wanted to try it. The only fabric I had was from the bed skirt and vanity in CC's room. So I decided to make this shirt using Mary Michael's directions. SOOOOOOOO easy (from start to finish, it took less than an episode of Two and Half Men I was watching-including clean up and put away!!) The only white shirt I had to use was one with pleats at the top, so it was a little harder than one without pleats. I also drew the 'C' and cut it out without a pattern. So it's not perfect. But it was easy and I plan on making more with different shirts and fabric. If you see Emory and Christian constantly in a shirt with their initials, you will now now why!!!!

Quick Trip

Christian put Gigi's hairnet on Emory....hopefully E will never work in a lunchroom, because the hairnet look is not for her. (For the record...Gigi wears them to sleep- not to work in a lunchroom)
They love each other

Emory just couldn't get enough of her Gigi.

CC kissing Gigi leg.

beautiful Eleanor

beautiful Amelia....

We went to my parents this week to see family and friends. My Gran broke her ankle and had surgery to put a rod in her leg, so we went to cheer her up. While home, we hung out with some of our favorite friends. Bryan and I haven't had a chance to see them in a long time. So it was great to catch up while watching some Auburn football- WAR EAGLE!

PS- So everyone who has seen Emory lately has been commenting on how big she has gotten! I guess we see her everyday so we don't notice it as much. Anyway, one of the people who have been staying with my Gran put it the best way..."Ewwww...she so juicy. I love me some juicy babies." intertesting way to put it, huh?!So.....maybe Emory's new nickname needs to be 'juicy'.....

Faces of a baby

Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!
already smiling

practicing her "WAAAAAAAAAAAAR EAGLE"

happy and content

I don't know what to do with such a little baby

Emory, 5 months..Kate, 1 week

This day made me happy. I finally got to meet baby Kate. Kate was born on September 26th but was unable to come home until the following Wednesday. She had a reaction to the cream put on her eyes after birth and had to spend some time in the NICU. She recovered and finally made it home. Emory and I went out to see her and I couldn't get enough. She is so tiny (and Emory is so big!) that it looked like Emory could eat her in one bite!!! I CANNOT wait for Ava, Christian, Emory, and Kate to play together!
