November and Color Run!

It's been one busy month and there are no signs of it slowing down anytime soon.  Addie Blaire has been one busy girl and we are just trying to keep up with her and all her activities!  She has started to cheer at school for the basketball team and she has several fans already...
 
Nana and Pop came down to watch
and even cousin Mason spent the weekend with us and got to come to a game. 
Mason, Addie Blaire and Britann hanging out at the country club one night while Mason was staying with us for the weekend.
Daddy and Britann helped out at the church unloading pumpkins galore for the Pumpkin patch at church this past month.
The whole family got to go to the Little Rock game a few weeks back.  The girls did such a good job in the game.  I was worried because this was Britann's first game of the season but she did great with the help of some popcorn and dippin dots we made it all the way through the game!

I just love these girls!
The girls and Mrs. Sharon
We even ran into cousin Mason at the game.
and cousin Lindsey was there too!
True Hog fans!

This is my little craft project that I just finished.  I am kinda proud of myself because my grandmother had given me some furniture that was my mom's when she was small and I have just begun to refinish them.  This was my first piece to attempt and I think it turned out pretty well considering..  I am so excited that the girls will have these pieces in their rooms for years to come.
Addie Blaire got to go to her very first sleepover party!!  She had so much fun and didn't want to come home.  The party started off with a spa makeover for all the girls where they got their hair done, nails and a pedi and then cake.  After that they headed to Peyton's house for a night of games and goodies.  So proud of my big girl!! 
Pretty pretty!
While we were there I decided to have Tara cut little Brit's hair but my mom just happened to be staying with us and she had the poor girl so scared to cut any of her curls that she barely had enough to give me for a keepsake.  She wasn't a big fan as you can tell!  Hopefully that will change..



All the girls showing off their awesome styles
This is a picture of the girls that the mom sent me with them playing games that night.
Addie Blaire's Kindergarten pictures!! (I just took a picture of the proof until the order comes in this will have to do)  This is soo big I can't believe I have a big girl now! I have to brag on her because her dad and I just went to her parent/ teacher conference and the teacher had nothing but praises for this sweet little girl.  She said she was doing a good job with all her work and knew all her letters and numbers for the most part.  She was very proud of her accomplishments but the thing that she seemed to be most impressed with was her sweet nature and caring ways.  This was the part that had me and daddy almost in tears because the teacher herself was in tears.  She went on to give us examples of how caring she is to the others in her class and how the class always is looking out for her as well.  The story that comes to mind was about a little girl in the class that one day at naptime was asleep and some of the other kids in class were laughing at her because her booty crack was showing.  The teacher said that she watched as AB told the other kids to quit making fun of her and then she proceeded to get up off her mat and go pull up the girl's covers over her.  She said a few days later that she noticed AB quietly get up off her mat and before the other kids had noticed she covered the little girl up again so the other kids didn't see that her booty was showing again.  This is the sweet girl that I am so proud of more so because of stories like these than any academic achievements she has made so far this year!

A fall picture that Lashonda sent me one morning. I had to post this because she would never sit there a take a picture for me like that.
The girls and I spent the weekend with Aunt T, Lila and Nana.  No trip to Little Rock is complete without a trip to Target.  The girls had as much fun as the moms did.

The next morning Terri and I got up early to make the color run.  It was a good time, but we were a little unprepared for all the excitement... there is always next year though!
Pre race photos, we had layered up so that we could peel over a layer of color to avoid the mess.
It was a wild time, with lots of colorful rainbows all around.
This really doesn't do the experience justice.  We had already wiped ourselves down just to get in the car.
We also got to stop by and see cousin Mason and Max.  Big cousin AB got her first chance to hold cuz.
