Trunk and Treat 2011

Allow me to introduce....

Sebastian and Ariel Sumrall.

We had trunk and treat at church on Wednesday night. Mae, as always, seemed to have the time of her life. As long as there are people to watch and lots to look at she is one happy camper.

Bes struck a (rather sultry) pose and it got me tickled...

which got her tickled...

then her giggle box was turned over. =)

Bes enjoyed trunk and treat as well. We had quite the turn out and there were people and costumes everywhere! Bes isn't such a big fan of the "scary" part of Halloween. We've had to be very careful to steer clear of certain stores and decor. She really didn't have time to participate in any of the trunk games because she was too busy watching everyone else. I kept asking her what she wanted to do next and several times she said she just wanted to sit and look at everyone's costumes. Truth be told, I think all those costumes were making her a nervous wreck! One trunk was a clown theme... Bes was having no part of that! She tensed up just having to walk by it... bless her. Funny thing, her daddy was exactly the same way when he was little.
She has been counting the days until she could wear her mermaid costume and she was just as happy as can be to walk around as Ariel for the night.

We saw Jack when we first got there and then we got lost from each other in the crowd. Bes asked me where Jack was all night. She loves her some Jack.
Sweet friends. A trip down memory lane. =)





Hand me down love.

As much as I would absolutely adore having my girls matching every. single. time we walk out the door, I do love for Mae to wear Bes's hand me downs. Lets me have sweet little flash backs all the day long.

Sweet Bessie.
Oh me. Where does the time go?

Little Mae.

7 months old

The sixth month was a big one for little Mae...


First word. Mama. =)

She started crawling on 10-24-2011.

Two tiny bottom toofies broke through on 10-23-2011.

She pulls up on her bed and some furniture.

Her favorite thing to do is sit on the floor with her big sister and play with her toys.

She is a great little eater... still loves sweet potatoes the best and nurses every 4 hours.

Naps well and sleeps at night from 7:30-8 pm until 7-7:30 am... waking once around 3 am to eat.

She still thinks her big sissy is the most fun ever!

And still the happiest little blue eyed baby you ever did see. =)

Let the games begin!

Soccer is in full swing and Bes is having the best time ever! She isn't the most aggressive player that ever was... she tends to stay out of the "wad" and just runs after the crowd. However, at this week's game the ball somehow ended up right in front of her foot... and she kicked it... and she scored!! We never told her it was in the wrong goal. =)

Bes and Coach Lu

Talking it over with daddy.

Having buddies like Jack...

and Nash on the team make it even more fun!!

Forever His Child...

Sunday was Mae's baby dedication. She had quite the crowd that came to love on her. During the ceremony, she let her little light shine. She kicked and squealed and smiled and laughed and I'm pretty sure she stole the hearts of many a church member before it was over. =) After church, everyone came to our house for lunch. It was such a special day for us... We are so blessed with such wonderful family and friends and there were several times throughout the day where I just had to stop and soak it all in.

Pumpkin Patch 2011


Today was Bes's annual school trip to the pumpkin patch! This is the one thing that we have done every year since Bes was born and I can remember her first trip like it was yesterday. Every year she has enjoyed something different the best but this year she loved it all! She rode the little tractors, jumped in the cotton, played in the corn box, swung on the tire swing, had the best time ever on the hayride and she picked out THE perfect pumpkins to take home. Such a fun morning!



My growing girl...
