it's about time

it's about time i posted something on this thing. i have been procrastinating because i didn't want to write on an ugly blog. The fact that everyone else has cutesy little decorated blogs didn't make it any easier. but now...thanks to this girl... i now have a semi-cute blog! i'm just going to jump right in and pretend that i never stopped updating.let the writing begin!

sooo...

i love just about everything there is to love about fall.

like pumpkin spice candles

and pumpkin spice lattes

and some amazing weather....

which leads to some amazing play dates like this

and of course some west texas friday night football

i never realized how much i loved fall. i get so excited about christmas and snow, that i never stopped to realize the awesomeness of fall. but after a ridiculously scorching summer that held us captive inside and out of our backyard, how can i not love this season and all it has to bring!

we are preparing for abbie's first fall festival at her "big girl" school, this weekend. we're also doing her first fundraiser, to help build new playground equipment. i cannot believe that she is old enough be doing fund raisers and having school sponsored events, or even to have a school at all.

what i want to know is how this girl

became this girl

in what seems like a matter of minutes. this "time" character keeps making my babies grow up faster than i would have liked and i don't appreciate it. please tell him to stop. she will be turning 6 years old in less than a month, so please prepare yourself for all of the boo-hooing and reminiscing that will be coming in the days leading up to her birthday.

and don't even get me started on this guy turning 2 in less than two months.

i am so very blessed to have two healthy and happy children, not to mention a husband that is the best father i could have ever asked for my children. as much as it hurts me to see that they are growing up, it is an amazing and exciting thing to watch at the same time. i love my little munchkins so much and wouldn't take anything for them. and i can't wait to (possibly) have another one. my dear husband is more of a "wait and see" kind of guy, so i guess we will wait and see what the lord has in store for us in that area of our lives. it's not up to us anyway :)
