She can barely wear a bow. HOW CAN A 4 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL WALK AROUND WITHOUT A BOW????????
I think I took the wrong one in for a haircut!!!
Baby Kate turned ONE Sept. 26th and we celebrated with her this past weekend.
She is the cutest, most petite little girl with the best smile!
We all had a fun time and Emory loved hanging out with her friend!
Then we spent the rest of the afternoon playing outside.....great day for a first birthday
Bryan and I took CC, Emory, and our nephews to the pumpkin patch for the day. We all had the best time
Everyone got to pick their own pumpkin. Before we began, I told them they had to be able to CARRY the pumpkin they chose. I looked over and sweet Gaines was trying his HARDEST to pick up a big pumpkin. I walked over to him and he said "I can't get it. Can Uncle Bryan get it?" I couldn't say no to that sweet face!
Carter is the funniest thing around! I couldn't stop laughing at his little 'one-liners'!
Mason picked a nice big pumpkin and knew his was better than the others. While on the hayride back he asked if we could write our names on the pumpkins. He's no dummy....he took his time picking the perfect pumpkin and wanted to make sure he KEPT his perfect pumpkin!
This little one decided to pick up and throw EVERY pumpkin she could get her hands on!
CC was bound and determined to have a big pumpkin- no matter how difficult it was to carry!
While I took the little ones on a tractor ride, Bryan took the big ones to the bounce house area! While we were riding around, I would point to hay and say 'hay'. Every time I did Emory would start waving:)
We played in tee-pees, got our face painted,
ran around playing, got cotton candy and fried snickers
Then .....we left!
Everyone was pooped and fell asleep 2 minutes after getting in the car.
We headed home for more playing, dinner, football and bed! All 5 in bed and asleep by 9:00! It was a fun day with family-doesn't get any better than that. And Bryan and I survived an outing with 5 kiddos!
Then this little love bug came inside BURNING UP! We took her temperture...103.2!!!!!!!!!!!! This momma FREAKED OUT! It just came out of the blue. She was completely fine when we got home around 4:00. But by 6:00, she was on fire. We pumped her with off-brand motrin and she went to bed. Bryan had to talk me into being patient and letting the medicine work before I called 911 b/c our daughter might catch on fire. Luckily, her temp went down. But still 102.1 in the morning. After a doctor visit, catheter to check for UTI, and a finger prick (which, of all thing....the band-aid made her cry hysterically. She couldn't STAND it being on her finger...weird- CC would cover her entire body in band-aids if we let her!), they determined it was just a virus. She was fine by 3:00 that afternoon!
Then CC and I headed to a costume birthday party with all of her school friends!
We had the best time bowling, face painting, and dancing!
By Sunday morning, CC was complaining of her tummy hurting and even wanted to go lay in her bed at 10:00 am(uh-oh....I knew it was going to be a rough day!). Around 11:30, it began....CC throwing up (both ends- gross, huh!). But she was such a big girl and let us know she was going to throw up while running to the bathroom. She even asked me to hold her hair back (reminded me of a few nights in college!!). Well....around 6:00 that night, MY tummy started hurting AND the stomach bug was passed on to me (I'll spare ya the details!) Rough night at the Congleton house, so CC and I stayed home Monday to get better. She was pretty much well by Monday, but not me! I slept ALL day while moaning and groaning. But my little CC might be the best nurse ever! She would rub my cheek, then kiss it, and whisper I love you in my ear. She even offered to turn my pillow "so it will feel cold on your head", put a pillow under my feet so my feet would feel better, and told me she would hold my hair. At one point I was leaning over a bucket thinking I was about to throw up with CC's face right in the bucket. When I asked her what she was doing, she said "Mom. Just throw up, okay. Just do it. I want to watch" GROSS but somehow cute!
Hopefully next weekend will be better for everyone! Unless Bryan gets it.......we all know how men handle being sick!!!):):): Love ya Bryan!!!!
fun game of 'wash and dry bingo'!
Papaw...did you know you played bingo with us????:)
"I WON"CC loves to dance! We often laugh and call her Elaine from Seinfeld (have you ever seen the episode when Elaine is dancing at the wedding??..hehehhe- that's Christian!). Well.....it appears Emory has been watching Christian a little bit too close!!!
Angela- don't worry- Christian and Emory can teach you this exclusive dance move. You're sure to be the hit of any party!!!!
and yes....this is Justin Beiber from the VMA's!
