Go Hogs Go

Baker went to his first Razorback game on Saturday! We tailgated with the Tootherakers then went to the game where Baker clapped and cheered and ate popcorn off the floor of the bleachers. It was a perfect day.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Baker wanted to create a special blog to celebrate his Daddy's birthday -- he even art directed the photo shoot! Baker said that his Daddy is the best ever and that he deserves to have a Happy Birthday - and MANY, MANY more.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Trains and New T-Shirts

Baker played with a new train set today. The wooden set is very cute and best of all it does not include batteries! Baker was very excited and loved making the train go in circles around the track. He narrated with "choo choo" noises. It was very cute... He's wearing his rock-n-roll Statue of Liberty shirt in this photo. His Auntie Anita bought it for him on our trip to NYC. He loves the shirt -- but of course, he loves Anita so much more....

This is kylee. I'm blogging because I'm bored. I'm very excited about these fantastic photos that Kebra took of me. :( She is a genius with the camera. I mean that.

Halloween - Dress Rehearsal

It's October 10th -- Cody and Emily's 21st birthdays -- and a perfect day for a Halloween dress rehearsal. Elmo was an obvious choice for this year's costume. As you can see in the photos, Baker was very proud of his snazzy getup. He stared at himself in the mirror in absolute wonder - pointing and saying, "Elmo! Elmo!" I was afraid Baker was going to protest when we took Elmo "off." He actually looked a little relieved - he was burning up in there.

We have my hairdresser to thank for the costume. I mentioned that I couldn't find a 3T Elmo and she just happened to have one leftover from one of her girls. Voila! One more reason to keep spending money at Dead Swanky.

By the way...Happy Bday to Cody and Emily...and Happy 1st Anniversary on Oct. 21 (in case I forget to mention that later...)

NYC Trip - Becca's Bday Extravaganza!

In honor of Becca's birthday, we took a girls' trip to New York! We were a group of seven. (Yes, seven!) We had a great time...too many fun and fabulous things to blog about so I'll just rattle off the highlights (in no particular order): SHOPPING, found a cute kid's store named YOYA, Zara, lunch at Bluewater Grill, went to a breathtaking show called Spring Awakening -- so incredible -- and probably the highlight of the trip, drinks at the Mandarin, drinks at the Gramercy Park Hotel, dinner at Perilla, brunch at Pastis...

We didn't take enough photos and most of them include someone laughing or someone with a head cut off...go figure. Becca was a sweet and gracious birthday girl. She is a blessing to all of us and very loved - especially on her birthday.
