Leading up to Halloween :)

We have been up to a lot of activites lately with Halloween :) here are a few pics from it :)and of course I can't wait to load the ones of our little black kitten after trick or treating tonight :D

Halloween Part 1

16 Months Old

Hailey has now turned 16 months old! WOW!! She has hit such a fun age and is just a joy to be around... except of course the few days that those dreaded molars were coming in :( She has such a personality and is just a ham! She is constantly making us laugh at the things that she does :) She now LOVES our Camaro since she has had a ride in it, and ask Daddy everytime they are outside together. So it is now a Friday treat for them to go on a ride in the neighborhood together! She also LOVES for her Daddy to get in her tent with her! The tent is pretty spacious.. .but it is def. a funny sight to see! lol Last Sunday we got to go and meet our newest addtion to the family for the Bagwell side, Gracie! She was such an adorable little baby. She sleeps so well! Hailey hasn't been around to many babies, especially teeny tiny ones like her... so she wasn't quite sure? haha. She ignored her at first and just played with toys, but once we finally showed her to Gracie, she was giving her kisses! It was very sweet :) She had a lot of fun at Hunter and Gracie's house!

Fall is def. one of my favorite times of the year, because the house starts getting decorated!! Went we and got some pumpkins for the front porch and HB loved picking them out. She even pointed to one of the small ones and said "this" (of course!) and carried it around the whole time. She even wanted it to be part of our display outside :) I can't wait for pumpkin carving and Halloween costumes!! It is going to be so much fun :)

Since she is getting to be such a big girl, I decided to take some cute little pictures of her and have sort of a mini photo session! She wasn't quite up for it, but we did have some fun. She looked so cute in her little tutu and flowered hat! I even put some cowgirl boots on in the end, and she was adorable if I do say so myself :) I am having so much fun being a mom and feel truly blessed with the beautiful and loving child that God has given us!! (I also threw in some cute bath pictures! everyone loves those ;) )

I hope everyone is doing well :)
Have a great week and hope to update you soon :)

Dustins Bday

Dustin just hit 25 one month after me.. which of course he thinks gives him the right to call me his old lady! With the new job that he has taken on, he worked on his birthday for the first time in 25 yrs. Even when he worked with the sherrif's dept he managed to get off. :) We kept it simple this year and headed out to dinner in Athens to RuSans. We had some great Sushi and then met back at our house for some cake. I surprised Dustin with his favorite cake, Black Forrest. I had to go on the hunt for it and finally found it at Publix! Mom made him a funfetti cake and it was awesome too. We have almost finished it :) Dustin got a new gun from the "group". He was so very happy, of course he picked it out, but at least he got what he wanted! Mom got him a lighter that is in the shape of a gun and the perfect size for HB. Now it might not be the best thing for a parent to give their child.. but it did make for funny and cute pictures!! It fit her little hands perfect. Dustin had a fun birthday, and even tho we weren't able to celebrate it in Pigeon Forge like usual, it was a nice change to hang around the house.

Daddy's New Do!!

You want a piece of me???

Dustins new adventure

Dustin has started a new adventure (well hobby!) About 2 months ago he got a pet bearded dragon. She is a pretty yellow and red color (picture above). His friend also went out and got one. Well this is where it all began. They have now decided to breed and sale them. They have a total of 10 or so. This is like a dream come true for Dustin. He has always wanted to own reptiles and now he is starting up a side business of it. They haven't started the process yet, but will in a couple of weeks. It is not really my cup of tea, but he does have some pretty dragons. Hailey and I go down there and hang out when he cleans the cages and feeds them. So if anybody is wanting a bearded dragon, you know where to get the prettiest ones ;)
