It's Fall Ya'll

Friday morning I headed up to Tennessee to do a little guy's 1 year pics. I've known his mom's family for some time, and we just had the best time! I'm telling you, I just have the best "non-job" ever! The mother kept telling me about her aunt's house that would be really great for pictures, so we loaded up and headed to her house. This is what I saw when we pulled up! I was in heaven. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year, and I just LOVE all the decorations and the colors. These were some of my favorite ever! I mean, check out those scarecrows, are they not awesome?!? I took a picture so I could try to duplicate them next year.

We got some really great pictures of the little guy too. Those will be posted on my photography blog in a couple of days (when I finish putting my "touches" on them)!

So sad....

Yesterday I had 40 followers.

Today I have 39.

I hope I didn't offend anyone.

I was so excited to have 40 (pitiful, I know).

I will try to be a better blogger.

I promise.

Gulf Shores Trip

This weekend was a blast!

My two guys and I headed down to Gulf Shores for one of my best friend's bro's wedding. We had such a great time, and I just LOVE their family. Although, I think they just invite us along so we will bring Wyatt! They absolutely LOVE him to pieces. They live just down the street, so we have become more like family than friends. 

Wyatt had a great time playing on the beach! He loved the ocean and the sand, but he didn't like it too much when he realized the sand stuck to him.....hehe. He made me a little nervous being so fearless in the water! I'm glad he wasn't scared though. I think he will enjoy beach trips for many more years!

I couldn't resist taking a BAZILLION pictures! He just looked so cute in his little trunks. He is getting so big :(

I don't know what I ever did before him. He's my life!

And, so is this guy! My husband is such a hottie :)

Saturday night and Sunday night, my friend's mom stayed in with Wyatt while we went out to eat. Of course, LuLu's is one of my FAVS , so we had to go there!

This picture was taken the day of Jacob's wedding. I LOVE it! I am so printing a big one to hang in my house.  There is not a daddy on this earth that loves their boy as much as this one does. It makes my heart happy!

This was the main event!!! The big wedding. I was so glad they asked me to come down and take pictures so I could share in their day. It was so simple and beautiful! I hope one day Morgan and I can go down to the beach and renew our vows (Although he gets so nervous, I don't know if I should make him go through that again!).

My "other" family!

Jeff, Whit (one of the best friends a girl could ask for), Jimmy, Renea (Wyatt's Aunt Nae), Ashley, Jacob, MeMaw Carolyn, Grandaddy Letus

We LOVE them!

Me and Whit!!

It was such a wonderful trip, but I must admit I'm so glad to be home! Between Baltimore last weekend, and the beach this weekend, I'm ready to put up the suitcases for a while! Tomorrow starts my "Fall on the Farm" photography sessions, so I'm sure that will keep me busy editing the next few weeks. 

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a million things going on!!

Proverbs 31:30

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty fleeting; 

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

This scripture could not better describe Stephanie Nielson. Although I don't know her personally, I have been following her blog (the Nie Nie Dialogues) for sometime and I feel that it could not be more suiting for her. I was so moved by her piece on Oprah today, it caused me to re-examine my life. So many times we take small things for granted. I thank God that he used her to be a great example of a Godly woman. If you weren't able to view the episode today, it can be found at Oprah.com.

Dresses and Costumes and Crafts, oh my!!

Today I had planned on staying at home and getting ready for our next excursion this weekend, but being the "Goer" that I am, I decided I needed out of the house! 

I had a couple of things to return to Target, so Wyatt and I headed out to H'ville to run some errands. I also wanted to see if I could find him a Halloween costume there. I had looked online, but nothing really appealed to me except $50 boutique costumes that I just can't justify! Morgan had really wanted him to be a monkey this year (since we call him that all the time), but all the monkey costumes just looked so cheesy. Anyway, today must have been my day because I found the CUTEST monkey costume! I had seen it online before, but pictures just don't do it justice. It is adorable. And, they only had 1 left. And, it was just his size. And, it was $20!!! So, I bought it!! haha.

While we were there, I ran across this dress! It was so cute, and I thought it would be great paired with a simple cardigan for this weekends beach wedding. Of course, it is a mile too long so I'll be spending tomorrow hemming up the bottom, but for $17 I couldn't turn it down.

After a few more odd and end things at Target, I left there spending exactly $55! I LOVE that place. All that for what 1 costume would've cost me if I ordered it from an online boutique!! With all the money I saved, I can get Wyatt the banana goodie bag from Pottery Barn :)

When we left Target, we decided to run and grab some lunch and go see Nonni (my Mama). I mean, we hadn't seen her since Sunday! I was having withdrawals. We talk numerous times a day, but if I don't see her a couple of times a week something's wrong!

When we finally made it back home around 1. Wyatt was passed out in the carseat. He was so exhausted! I brought him in, and he took a 2 1/2 hour nap (I squeezed in a couple of minutes of shut-eye myself). After nap-time, I decided to try this cute craft I had seen on the Martha Stewart website. I thought it turned out really cute! We did ours on black construction paper with the background in white. I only had a brown 5x7 frame, so I need to get a white one and I think it will look really cute in his room. I'm trying to do better about doing little things like this to remember his childhood. I hope to one day be able to get it out and show his kids!

Tomorrow I really have to get some things done, but it sure was a great day today!
