Cute baby contest!

My nephew Malak is in a cutest baby contest to win a $500 shopping spree and he is one of the finalists!!!! It is down to just him and one other baby! He is way cuter than the other kid, in my opinion, so please go vote for him if you can! It's super easy, just click here.

Thanks! I'll post another blog later with some pics of Shiloh.

Twilight lover

I am going to see this movie tomorrow night!!! I am really excited! I LOVED the books and better yet we have turned it into a girls night out, so I'm going with six other friends while the kiddos stay at home with the husbands! My expectations aren't very high for the move. I know it is impossible to make it like the book, but I am just looking forward to a light, fun chick flick I can smile and sigh at. I can't wait!

Also, this is one of my new favorite blogs! I posted about her store the last time, but I could (and have) spend hours looking at all the different outfits she makes! It has actually inspired me to pull out my sewing machine and make a few things myself. In fact I am in the middle of a jacket kind of similar to what she is giving away. Downtown Holiday Jacket and Pant GIVEAWAY!!!! I'll post pics if I ever get it done in the middle of all my other Christmas projects!

Only five days until Thanksgiving!!!

Super cute skirts

I noticed these skirts on another blog and thought they were so cute! One of the greatest things about them is that they are reversable, so if your child gets something on it while you are out, you just flip it around, plus it is two skirts for one price. The shirts are reversable too, so they are double lined and super warm, which would be useful if it will ever get cold around here. Where is my brisk fall weather!?

Shiloh's "first" Halloween

I know technically this wasn't Shiloh's first Halloween, but somehow, it just feels like it. I wasn't sure what to dress her up as this year and I felt silly spending a bunch of money on a costume that at the time I wasn't even sure where she would wear it. My sis in law and I decided to go to the fabric store and spend $5 on felt and make whatever we could with it. The costume turned out amazing, and I think she will have many a felt costumes in the future!

Getting into character by doing a little rain dance.

She was having so much fun running around, she wasn't real thrilled about being picked up to take a picture.


We went to Filipe's office for a party and they had trick or treating - passing out candy at all the cubicles. Shiloh wasn't really sure what to do at first. First, when someone would give her a candy she would put it back in the bowl. Next she would give it to her cousin, Jenna. When she finally figured the whole thing out she was a girl on a mission, grabbing multiple candies from each bowl to put in her bag.

And here is a picture of her real first halloween. Don't you want to pinch those cheeks!

Fall Fun!

Ok, I hope you guys are ready for a lot of pictures! Sunday we went out to my parents house with E,T and M to take some fall pics with the kids before it got too cold.

Not having fun.

This was one of the last pictures. Eric was doing something and Malak was absolutely cracking up. Too cute!

After that we all met up with A,K,J & E to go to the pumpkin patch. We went to a different one than last year, and we loved it! It was so cute! Shiloh loved seeing all the different farm animals and playing outside! She is an outdoor girl!

Afterwards we went back to my parents house to eat chilli and pumpkin pie! It was the perfect, relaxing fall evening!

Wind vs. the shopping cart

Two posts in one day. Crazy, I know, but I just had to share this crazy little thing that happened to me today.

So this morning Shiloh was kind of driving me crazy. She is teething so basically she was following me around the house fussing for no reason, so I decided that we needed to get out of the house. We decided to go to Target.

We got to Target, met up with Tara and Malak, hung out, bought a pair of shoes, basically had a good old time. We left and I loaded Shiloh up in the car. I have to admit that I left my shopping cart next to the front of my car rather than putting it away. The wind decided that it did not think it was cool that I was lazy and left my cart there, so as I was buckling up my seat belt the wind spun the cart 180 degrees and pushed it all the way to the cart return and pushed it in!!! It was amazing!!! I got a picture of it. My cart is not the crooked one half hazardly flung in, but the perfectly straight one pushed all the way in.

Chillin

This past week has been really low key. We have had my sister in law, brother in law and nieces staying with us. Rather than running around all over the place we have just been hanging out around the house, watching movies at night and just relaxing. It was nice just being together.


Shiloh has been so much fun lately. She is such a little person with her own will and personality. She is really in to little spaces. In stores, if there is a low shelf that is empty or partially empty, she will crawl up on it and just sit. The other night at Kim's house she was crawling into this little cupboard, closing the door, getting out and then doing it all over again.

She is also in love with our dog right now. I always knew she and Bruno would be the best of friends. She loves giving him big hugs, or crawling onto his ottoman with him and hanging out. The other day I caught her feeding him one of her toy baby bottles, and then yesterday she was holding up a toy phone up to his ear. Too cute.

This girl has always been a crazy sleeper, but I had to laugh when this was how I found her the other morning.



It has been so good to see her with her older cousins. She follows them around the house playing with them, and they are so sweet with her! It warms my heart to watch them.
And this is the newest addition to the cousins. Shiloh isn't the youngest anymore. She loves looking at him. She probably thinks he is a moving baby doll. I'm sure she'll be terrorizing him in no time.
