Queen Caroline

Caroline told me that she wanted to be a pageant queen for Halloween. She wanted to wear my crowns and dresses. I thought the crowns would be easy, and the dresses would be hard to find one that fit but I was wrong. We have misplaced all 8 crowns - including my Miss Arkansas and Teen Arkansas prelim crowns with my move and Mom's move. However, Caroline was able to find numerous dresses that fit and worked! It was a great day for Aunt Brooke because I feel a little large these days, so it made me realize how little I was in my glory days! :)



 

Halloween 2012

I can't believe we just had Halloween! We had a great time celebrating Kristi's Birthday and seeing all the kids dress up!

 

I can't wait to have a little pumpkin next year to celebrate with!

 

Here are 2012 highlights:

Nerd Day

Last week I had my sister's kids when they were out of town. It was Nerd Day at the Middle School and Carter asked what he should wear, we told him what we thought he should wear and never thought he would do it. He not only did it but was awesome about it! I have the best nerd nephew ever!

 

Mom's Birthday 2012

Last week we celebrated my mom's birthday! It was a fun night with great food and time together!

Our Pumpkin Family

I wanted to decorate with pumpkins outside this year. I didn't go crazy but I wanted to have a pumpkin family. The tall pumpkin is David, the round one is me since I'm pretty round now, and the little one is our little pumpkin Anna Kate! Next year our pumpkin will get to pick out her favorite pumpkin to decorate with!

 

Anna Kate's Baby Shower

This past weekend Anna Kate and I were so blessed to be given a shower by my friends in Lubbock. It was a great time and we are really excited about all the big things that will be taking place in less than 5 weeks!
