Playdate with Brax......

Brax is so tall and so cute!!

Last Friday, Delanie and I met my friend from high school, Val, and her son Brax! We took the kids to Paradise Park and had a blast! It is still a bit over their heads, but we managed and they had a great time exploring!

Enjoying the water station!

After paradise park, Val and Brax headed to our house for more play time! Val got some great pics of the kids about to kiss and hug each other! I think Delanie enjoyed it, ha, ha! To see these photos check out Val's blog.....you can link to it from our blog.....Team Hill!

Daddy's girl!

Daddy reading to Delanie while home for a quick lunch!

My awesome husband continues to amaze me as Daddy to our precious girl! I knew he would be a great Dad, no doubt, but he has already exceeded my expectations and continues to amaze me everyday! Delanie is in love with her Daddy, isn't that the way it should be :) She asks about him at least 5 times a day and I remind her that he is at work, but will be home soon!

We have a very routine week around here, Delanie has a terrible cough, which is not out of the ordinary for her! So, sleep has been quite interesting around here.....but she is napping now and has been for almost 3 hours! I am not quite sure what to do with myself!

Hopefully she is going to get well by the end of the week, so she can meet her future boyfriend Brax for a play date!

Halloween Pics!

Delanie, our little ladybug, had a fun Halloween night.....despite the fact that she is cutting more teeth and a bit crabby!! We made several stops to see our family and friends. First we went by Aunt Jenny's (AKA, Nenny's) and Uncle Nate's to take pics with D's cousin's Payton and Cade......they were so cute. Cade was a rapper and a cute one at that and Payton was a beautiful witch! After that, we headed to see Grandma Di Di.......we played for a few minutes then headed to pick up Nana so we could catch up with Aunt Shelley and cousin Mason to take a few pics. Mason was of course a very cute Batman!! We tried to get a few pics with Mase, but Delanie was not being very cooperative!! We ended our night hanging out with Mr. Lee and Miss Casey!! Delanie loves their house!! I have always heard that their neighborhood has many kids, but I have truly never seen so many out.......it was like someone opened the gate!! I am pretty sure Lee and Casey did not sit down the whole night because they were constantly handing out candy!

All of the guys in my family were in a fishing tournament this weekend.....so it was just us girls having fun!
A big thanks to Nana, who helped with D the whole weekend while Daddy was away! We had fun shopping and playing together!

More to come later this week......we have a play date with our future boyfriend....Brax!!

Pumpkin Patch!

Today we headed to Faulkner's Pumpkin Patch, I think we waited too long in the season to go......it was slim pickins'!!
My Mom had the day off, so she and my Dad picked up Mason and then came by to get Delanie and me! Might I mention, the stomach bug has cycled through the family....Dad, my Mom, now my sister-in-law (who works with kids).....hopefully it will end!!
The kids had fun, Delanie had more fun picking up rocks than anything! Mason got to pick out a big pumpkin, it weighed 15 lbs!
Mason and I also got to ride the mini tractors....they were big...yes I did ride one!
Since the pumpkin patch was not all that we thought, after a quick lunch we headed to the playground at Legacy Park, it was so nice.....the kids had so much fun! What a beautiful day....can't believe it is almost November!
I'll post some Halloween pics this weekend!

Stomach Fun :)

The pic is of Delanie "helping" me do laundry.....she decided it would be fun to get in the basket! Silly girl!
Well it is official, we have had our first stomach bug/flu! I went to a Women's Retreat on Friday night and Saturday until around 2:30......Josh was painting at his Mom and Dad's and Grandma Di Di was keeping little D! When I picked her up we played for a while and she spit up, which is not uncommon for our little spit up girl! But.....it happened again in the car, then when we got home and each time it became more and more! Finally around 7:00 she threw up for the last time! I ended up holding her until around 9:30ish to make sure the worst had passed! Throw-up is not something I handle well, really who does?? Josh was the clean up man, I cleaned up D! Thankfully it was not that bad and she is on the mend! Delanie will be wearing her Halloween Costume to Gymboree class on Wednesday, so I will post some pics later this week!!!

Still new at this!

Here a few more pics from the party! Delanie with Nana, and Mason blowing out his candles!
Also, Delanie's pic corrected!

Weekend Fun!

On Saturday, my Mom and I took Delanie to have her pic taken in her Halloween Costume. I am posting a pic of the pic......are you with me? She did pretty well and looked of course as cute as a bug.....ha, ha!
That night was our nephew Mason's 5th birthday party! I cannot believe he is 5! He dressed up as Batman for the party! Delanie had fun watching him open his presents and wanted to play with his new toys! Mason's Mommy (Aunt Shelley) made a delicious chocolate pumpkin cake!! We loved it!

Funny side note; I certainly do not win a prize for the Mom of the year award....not that there is one! Friday night, we went to eat at Red Lobster with my parents. Delanie was great, she ate very well and sat in the high chair the whole time! We did notice as we were finishing up eating, Delanie went to the bathroom........you know! No big deal, I would take her to the bathroom on the way out the door! Oh my really does not describe it! Josh picked her up and I immediately knew we had a problem, since I could see poop up to her shoulders! It now on Josh, the boppy seat, and of course all over Delanie! No problem, in the car, I have an emergency tub with extra diapers and clothes.....except for the fact that we were in Josh's truck! So, my Mom and I took Delanie into the bathroom and got her as clean as we could! All of her clothes had to come off, so I put her jacket on (with nothing underneath) and took my jacket off to wrap around her legs!
What an experience.......note to self....have extra clothes in every car!!
