Baby Macey

We had a shower for Jenny and Baby Macey at my house on Sunday. It was a wonderful afternoon with lots of cute baby things. Can't wait for Macey to be here and come over and play!

Nebo Mania!

What a weekend. I spent it on Mt. Nebo for Elizabeth's bachelorette party. A weekend full of dancing, singing, eating, jigsaw puzzles, provocative "Clue", Phase 10, and pajamas! All this with a great view to boot! Had fun girls! Oh, and a trip to Mt. Nebo would make a good day trip and a fantastic camping trip- I highly recommend it.

Sign the petition!

It's prematurity awareness month! Working in the NICU for awhile and acknowledging that most of the children I work with now were either premature or had some sort of trauma at birth I see the need for March of Dimes everyday. I remember growing up and going with my mom around the neighborhood with our little cardboard box and "marching for dimes". Now all you have to do is make a donation online or help by signing this petition. The nation as a whole received a "D" in it's rating of premature births, and our state received an "F". So, take a second to do some reading and sign a quick petition of support. Maybe someday I will need a career change because all babies and kids will be healthy!

Oh Happy Day!...

...When Dee and Dave got MARRIED! A wedding packed weekend. Friday was the bachelorette party/sweat shop. We assembled programs and wedding favors in matching aprons! I know- it was a wild time. Saturday was the rehearsal dinner with the wedding on Sunday at Garvan Gardens in Hot Springs. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful wedding!
Congrats guys!







Looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home. I might even attempt to rake the 798,362,965,001 leaves in our front yard!

The Ghost of Halloween Past

We took 5 of the nieces and nephews to Magic Screams last weekend. We have been the last two years with other couples and had a good time, but apparently is was during the week. This years experience fell into a category with the state fair and Riverfest. It was crazy busy, i.e. 3 hour wait for the haunted houses! This was no concern of mine since I HATE haunted houses but the rides were busy to. They didn't have enough staff so some of the ride were closed and the lines in the others were long because they were rotating workers. The tickets were still full price even though the Crystal Falls part was obviously closed. Needless to say, we will not go back next year but the kids had a blast!




We also had our churches Trunk-or-Treat. Lots of fun. We did a craft project instead of a game. Paper plate spider webs, and it was quite popular.

We've had lots of stuff going on the past few weeks. So much stuff I've only put up 1/2 of my Halloween decor. The same Halloween decor that Coby made me wait to put up until September was over!
We went down to the sculpture exhibit at the Rivermarket last Saturday. It was great and hopefully it will become an annual event. We also walked the Junction Bridge downtown. The dogs had a fun outing but weren't quite sure of the height of the the bridge and preferred to walk in the middle. Kinda funny.
Coby also did a charity event for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central AR. It was a dinner for a few people on a yacht on the AR river. Things turned out wonderful even with the close cooking quarters.
This weekend is booked. We plan on taking some of the nieces and nephews to Magic Screams and we have our church Trunk-or-Treat. And I might even get the Halloween decorations finished!
