Pumpkins, Ghost, and Sutton, oh My.

Happy (belated) Halloween!  We visited the pumpkin patch and were able to trick or treat to a few houses for candy this year.  We had a great time and Sutton loved staying up late to watch all the big kids.  Here are a few pictures from our pumpkin visit and Halloween night!  

Action shots only, mom

Put me down!

Just my size!

Sutton, the friendly ghost.

Airplane?

Candy!

We hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween!  XOXO.

Long Time, No Post.

We have been busy, busy these past few weeks. We visited the pumpkin patch, saw the Blue Angels air show, made two trips to SA, etc. Pictures to come but for now, we hope you enjoy this nightly performance around our house.

Olivia Paige Mayfield

has arrived.  Dan, Kendra, and Grey welcomed their new addition on Friday, October 7th.  They did not find out the sex of the baby so we were all on pins and needles in the waiting room wondering what they were having!


Olivia was a healthy 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches long.  Sutton is so excited to have a little girl in the family.  She LOVES all her boy cousins but is happy to now have someone who will play dress up with her!  I pray that Sutton and Olivia have a special relationship like their mommas.  We are 13 months apart and grew up like sisters - the girls are 14 months apart and we pray they form the same relationship!
 
Grey telling everyone he has a new baby SISTER.  

Her big debut!

Everyone is doing great and Grey is a great big brother.  Congrats to the Mayfields and welcome sweet Olivia.  

XOXO!

REUNITED and it feels so good...

This past week, Sutton went to Camp Knocke and spent the week with Cici and Oso.  She had a ball and loved every minute of it.  We missed her dearly but knew she was having so much fun!  We got multiple updates each day and here are a few of the pictures we received over the past week!

Patrick and I would start the morning watching Sutton eat breakfast before work.  She would wave at us in between bites.  Ha, you can see P in the top left.  ;)


At Kiddy Park with Harper and the Boswells.  Thank you, Janet, for the great pics!





Riding the train around Breckenridge Park with Harps.


Barreling through the Children's Museum...look out above!


We can't thank my parents enough for loving on her this past week.  She is quite a handful these days and hard to keep up with.  Patrick and I enjoyed some alone time - catching up on movies, happy hours, and dinners.  BUT we sure were giddy meeting my parents on Saturday.  Luckily, she still recognized us.  :)

Back together again!  We had a fun Sunday morning at the park and Farmers Market. 



XOXO!

Sweet Sutton

Thanks for checking in and watching us grow.  Sutton so desperately wants to be a "big" girl and has more energy than the energizer bunny!  I know some of you other mommies know just what I'm talking about.  This little one does not stop playing and moving until she crawls into her crib at night  Don't get us wrong, we LOVE IT and love that she has such a fun, sweet spirit and zest for life!!  She brings more love and joy to us every day.  She is a daily reminder on how to be joyous, experience heart felt laughter, and find the wonder in every day things - there is nothing better than the innocence of a child!


XOXO!!

Cheap Entertainment

Yesterday, Sutton's school called bc she was fussy and refusing her nap. My child...NO way! They thought she might have an ear infection and they wanted me to be aware. I always worry about ear infections since we have already had 5. So, I left work and took her to visit Dr. Sue. I was not prepared to entertain S while we waited for the doctor. So, this is what we turned to and it entertained her longer than I expected.

We left with a clean bill of health but was told we were beginning the stage of her finding her independence and pushing limits. Let the games begin!
