First, second and third I ate this. Followed by this. I got this. Tickets to this. And lots of money/gift cards to shop here. Then, I watched this. With her. It was a pretty good night. ...

Little Lady Bugs
Ella had a birthday party to attend on Saturday and it was so much fun. Madeline's mommy threw a fabulous lady bug themed party and had the girls dress in red and black. Wanna see what we did? Ella before the party, all dressed up with her coordinating birthday gift! Isn't the girls table adorable? Madeline's mommy used our tea party table and gussied it up in red, black and green. Madeline's adorable lady bug birthday cake, courtesy of our sweet friend Kristi. All the girls with their wings and antennas! There was a bug hunt in the front yard and the girls were a little skeptical about picking up plastic bugs at first... We got to see our bestest friend Ella Matthews! Madeline wasn't really impressed with the whole "Happy Birthday" situation. Present ...
Between the sheets…
Guess who I found under the covers on Sunday afternoon? Princess Ella and her favorite handsome boy. They played really good together, but Josh gave her a lecture after he left about having boys in the bed. I was hoping we could get by without that conversation for a few more years. ...
Campy – otherwise known as the longest post in LPD history.
I may not look or act like a country girl, but I am. I love to be outside and I love to camp. My parents decided several weeks ago that they would spend this past weekend with Ella in a place we all love. I decided kind of last minute to join the ho-down and I am so glad I did. I was off work on Friday for my doctor's visit and a long-overdue dentist appointment. I decided to make the most of it and packed my car and drove up to meet them on Friday afternoon. The two hour drive was quiet and filled with beautiful trees of every color. When I arrived at camp, I saw this sweet face... and this pretty scenery. On Saturday, we went to the weekly Trade Day a few miles down the country road. Although we didn't buy much we did see lots of pretty things. We did manage to catch ...

Absolutely nothing. ...
Children of the Corn
On Saturday, I went with two of my favorite kids and my oldest friend in the world to Old Baker's Farm for an afternoon photoshoot and lots of farm fun! My sister, Kamin, usually has her fall mini shoots the weekend of the Cotton Pickin' Festival, but due to some wedding fun, she had to have it a week early. Ryan and I were worried the little ones wouldn't survive an afternoon without a nap, but we were pleasantly surprised. The kids were so excited to see each other and couldn't keep their hands to themselves. We were smart enough to hitch a ride on the hay-filled tractor-pulled-trailer on its way to the pumpkin patch a quarter of a mile a way. We were even smarter to do it right when we got there. Later in the day the line was inching back to the gate and we were glad to be moving on ...
Cold!
Are you enjoying this weather as much as we are? ...
Happy Birthday, Alston!
On Sunday afternoon Ella and I went to our favorite little boy's first birthday celebration. It is hard to believe that Alston is a year old! His sweet mommy threw a wonderful backyard picnic complete with homemade chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. I wish I had gotten a picture of the caterpillar cake she made, it was adorable. Thanks, Mrs. Beth, for letting us celebrate the day with you. ...
