Happy Birthday, Alia!

Last night, we celebrated Alia's birthday with a wonderful evening at Olive Garden. We had great food, good company, and we got to celebrate our amazing sister-in-law. She's such a great person, and we're so lucky to have her in our lives!

Happy Birthday, Alia!

Fall Days

I just love Fall! It is by far my favorite season. It is just cool enough to sit outside with a cup of hot chocolate at night, but warm enough to play outside during the day without needing a jacket; perfection. We have taken advantage of the nicer weather around here for the past few days and spent a lot of time outside.

 I don't think I want to be sitting right here...

 how far can I bend my head to the side while I say cheese?!

 Daddy was in the back mowing the yard, but Momma got a good picture with Evan!

 hmmm... I wonder if dirt tastes good?

 let me think about it...

 yup, shouldn't have eaten it!

 Evan is always a great helper.

 look at these legs! Cutest marshmallow legs ever!

 Showing off her 6 teeth! (4 on top, 2 on bottom).

Dave Matthews, Meet Dave Ramsey

This is how to go to a concert Dave Ramsey style...

We went to the Dave Matthews concert on Friday (Sept 10th), and just went to listen outside the Pavillion. Nick, however, found a great spot next to the gate where we could see the screen for the concert. We got to listen and watch the band, even if it wasn't "in person!" 

 Good times, good times.

Our365

If anyone needs to have pictures of your child made (and have some money to burn because the pics turn out SO great that you'll want to buy all of them), then you should look up the company called Our365 Portraits. We have used them twice now, and love them. They will actually come to your home for the photo session, so you can get them to come when it fits your schedule, as well as keep your kids happy because they're in a comfortable environment. We only use them for REALLY special occasions since we spend a little more money; normally we just take the kids to the Arboretum and snap pictures ourselves, which turns out great.

Here are some of our favorite pictures from the session:
