PLAYTIME

She is a very serious girl....just kidding.  She is going bald though.
Joy and Ella came over to play, long overdue for us all to get together away from volleyball.
MMM...delicious. Joshua loves some corn on the cob.
She is getting so big so fast.  Lovin' the outfit..thanks PR.
Storytime....Millie seems so interested.
She always chews on her fist but sometimes tries to find her thumb.
We knew this would happen.....he loves ears what can he say.  
Fun times
Ella and Joshua tickling each other. They played so hard and had a blast.
They got into playing hide and go seek. They were so much fun to watch.
Goofy, Goofy, Goofy.  Ella waits anxiously behind the door to be found by Joshua.
While all the playing was going on, Millie observed.
Ella and her Mommy w/ matching aprons so they can cook together!
A trip to the zoo on Veteran's Day.  A little unsure of petting the goats.
Millie enjoys watching a red hog sniff around for food.  She was able to enjoy a lot of the zoo this trip.
Joshua and his moment with the gorilla...he "loves" him.

GROWING UP FAST!!!

Enjoying the beautiful weather.
Awe.......
Will Farrell stopped by on Halloween night.  Luckily Millie wasn't scared.
We have been working a lot on sitting up, she'll have it no other way.

Teething already...rediculous
It just happened to be election day that Joshua found one of our 4th of July flags.  He loves waving it around. Wish it were a clearer picture...phone pic.
A rare shot of Joshua sleeping. 
BEFORE....
AFTER...What a little man.
What's up blue eyes?
Okay, so I had to get more costumes pictures of Millie, can you blame me?

This is an older one I just now downloaded of Joshua and Ella.  They are too cute!
Joshua at one of our practices this year hanging out in the ball cart.
Getting ready to do some agilities.
This is at school on Halloween.  Just making a cup of tea.
The Carousel is his new favorite thing.  Everyday he talks about the giraffe, elephant and horse he rode.  He then he says, "fun!"
Chocolate snack made a chocolate flamingo.
The clown.
We had just come in  from an afternoon of great times outside.  Millie is too cute in her hat.
She is one happy "little" girl.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING, ONE PUMPKIN AT A TIME!

Get me out of here.........
Yummy cupcakes
Joshua, PR and her cousin Patrick stopped by Halloween night they decided to play under the table.
Amie with her little Giraffe and Bumblebee (not in costume)
Seriously.......Don Don
Trick or Treat!

The first two pictures show Joshua a little overwhelmed at the fall festival.  come to find out he just wanted to go back to his favorite booth, the kiddie pool.


This reminds me of a favorite picture of cousin Meghan at the beach when cousin Eric and her had a small altercation when they were itty bitty and she threw herself in the sand face first..just as Joshua threw himself onto hardwood face first.  TOO FUNNY!

Grandmommy is such a trooper.  This is her and Joshua at his favorite booth...again!
Pumpkin bean bag toss...3 for 3!  REally 9 for 9 b/c we came back a few more time.
Millie crashed soon after this...the bumblebee costume was long off.
Back at the pool.......
Penny Rose won a huge toothbrush.

Not a clear picture, but it was from my camera phone.  Grandmommy, Millie, Mommy and Joshua loved the carousel at the mall.  We rode it twice with a special request to ride the elephant.  He was so excited and I loved how he is holding the ears.  He made sure to blow Grandmommy and Millie kisses and wave each time we passed them.
He was so excited to do this, it was a lot of fun.
Aunt Dawn came to visit and her and Joshua had a blast.  He loves to hit the hickory nuts with his bat and look for lady bugs.  Now whenever there is a knock on the door he says, Dawn..Dawn over and over.  

Halloween hasn't even gotten here yet and so much fun already.  We still have our church Fall Festival on Wednesday and then Halloween on Friday!  Lots more pictures to come.
Big brother has the responsibility of decorating both their pumpkins this year.
Finally, funny man Will, in a more serious moment with Millie getting some long overdue quality time.
Okay so even though we had her in it much longer than we thought we would, she definitely reached her breaking point.

At the Pearson Halloween party Joshua soon gave his Giraffe head to his buddy RoRo(who was originally a butterfly but soon took off her wings and became a grape)then becoming a giraffe grape. Penny Rose's cousin Patrick a.k.a Buzz Lightyear, looked like he was put in baby jail.
Joshua helped Mommy and Daddy rake the yard, he was a big helper and what a beautiful day.
Millie working on some tummy time while enjoying her hand.
Pumpkin carving night.  While Daddy was carving a pumpkin, Joshua was decorating his and Millies' pumpkin.  He had the best time and the pumpkins were awesome!
Millie taking the night in.  All the excitement wore her out.
The giraffe and cheerleader (second costume change) reviewing the night.
Penny Rose was trying to get Joshua to take the glow stick but he was too busy w/ Mr. Bill's (Papa Pearson) cowboy hat.  Giddyup!
Here's our little bumblebee.  She stayed in this much longer than I thought she would, too cute!


Joshua wanted Millie to sit with him again and again.  He got so tickled each time.
Just comparing Millies' dainty little feet to Joshuas' Fred Flinstone feet.  Too cute!
Can you see the real pumpkin in this picture?  Joshua loves the pumpkin patch.
Trying hard to get the little ones a great picture together.
Little Miss Priss all decked out in festive attire.
BEST BIG BROTHER!  HE LOVES HER SO MUCH.
LITTLE SISTER LOVES HIM BACK JUST AS MUCH.
NO WORDS..... I JUST PRAY EVERY DAY AND THANK GOD FOR THESE TWO LITTLE BLESSINGS.  THEY ARE TRULY AMAZING.


We are all very excited about Halloween coming and cannot wait to put their costumes on. Millie may not be very excited to put it on but Joshua is very excited and we will at least get some cute pictures.   We have been decorating for Halloween (Joshua loves to say pumpkin).  He has this placemat where he will say everyone that it is on it.  It has a ghost,witch, pumpkin, bat..etc.   We are going to get our pumpkins this weekend so we are super excited about that.  Volleyball is over.  We lost in area....stinks!  I am looking forward to actually enjoying my maternity leave and not feeling so crazy trying to be every where and do everything. I did think it was very important to finish up with volleyball though for many reasons.  Joy was the most amazing helper.  I feel like since Millie has been born I have not really been able to enjoy her and take it all in so I am most definitely looking forward to that.  She is a real cutie patootie!  Well, I am also getting excited about Shelby and Mike's little peanut that will be joining us in February.  Ashley and Dan's little boy, Nathan, is amazing too.  He and Millie were born only hours apart. We have a Halloween party with Penny Rose coming up and our Church fall festival is too. We will be sharing lots of pictures with you.   Lots of fun times ahead!

Never to busy for a snack.
How about these piggies?
Joshua and Lola checking out the backyard.  
Feeling festive even during bath time.

Mommy and Millie.  What you can't see is that she has the strongest hold on my hair and is pulling with all of her strength....and she doesn't let go.

Donna came to visit.  We played for a long time with lots of smiles. She's awesome.
LB is a new aunt also and she is a pro.
Aunt Missy came into town to visit so we of course we showed her lots of love.
Uncle BUB came to visit also.  He brought me a super noisy tractor and a cool tshirt.  He is not real sure about holding Millie yet.  
Winding down together.  We sure needed it.
