THE ZOO!

Friday, Oklahoma celebrated 100 years of statehood! Jason had the day off of school so we decided to get out and do something fun. As I was searching to find an activity, I found out that in honor of the centennial, the Zoo had free admission! WOO-HOO! It was a perfect day to be outside. It was a clear sunny day and the fall leaves were breathtaking! We had a great time seeing all the animals and just enjoying the fresh air!

Kate's Quilts!

I am so fortunate to have such talented friends and family! Kate got some really beautiful quilts and I just thought I should showcase them!!! Ok, so not everything I am showcasing is a quilt, but everything is beautiful none the less, and I know a lot of work and love went into everything!

My oldest sister, Michelle, made this quilt for Kate's crib! I just love it!!! My Mom did a fantastic job making the beautiful matching bed skirt! It is just what I had in mind for her bedding!



This one is from one of my life long buddies, Autumn. It is the first quilt she has ever made!!! Can you believe that? It turned out so beautiful! She is so stinkin' talented and does good at everything she tries! Kate and I adore this quilt, it is our favorite cuddle blanky, it is so soft!


Autumn's Mom, Nancy, made this one. She is such a talented quilter! This is such a special quilt, there is so much detail and it is just pieced together so beautifully!


Here is a picture of some of the detail.


This one is from one of my former roomies and good friend Tristyn. I love the border and you can't see it in the picture, but it has hand stitching in the design of a giraffe eating from a tree, tons of work I'm sure and so adorable!


This last one is from my sweet SIL, Rebecca! It is a playmat; such a cute idea! I love it! It's so colorful and has ribbon on the corners to attatch toys! She is so creative!


I can't imagine how much work went into all of these! I am so lucky to have such sweet, giving and talented friends and family! I know once Kate gets older, she will love and appreciate all of them as much as I do!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We had a great Halloween! We carved our pumpkin:



With a little inspiration from our "Witchy Women"



Our little Katie-Bug was a Lady-Bug for Halloween!



Here is one of all of us at our church's carnival/trunk or treat! We still aren't quite sure what Jason REALLY was, so we are just going with a member of a 70's rock band!



I guess all the fun made Kate sleepy!



And I just thought this was too cute!



We hope everyone had a great Halloween!!
