Happy birthday to...

The Silliest Human I Know!!! Harper, T, and I are beyond lucky to have Corby in our lives! He's the most loving husband, a fantastic provider, and he makes us laugh all of the time. Who are they being in the picture, you might ask??? With a little (or a lot) imagination, you should see Mary and Joseph...something Harper LOVES to dress up like!

Happy birthday, Corbs! We love you!!!

Disney Live

We took Harper to Disney Live on Sunday afternoon, and from the looks of this picture, you can see how much she loved it! Her three favorite princess stories were performed, with the narrators being Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy. It was really cute! I had thought it was on ice, so that's what I kept telling Harper. Thankfully she didn't know what that meant, so she didn't realize they weren't on ice skates! It was so much fun having some special time with Harper. She has done such a wonderful job as a big "sister", so we wanted to do something fun with her. Thanks to our friends, the Smiths, for keeping T!

Fun at the Fair

Corby's parents came in town this past weekend, so we headed down to the fair on Sunday. It would've been a little more enjoyable if it hadn't been raining...but it eventually stopped, so our time there wasn't ruined! We rode the dart train down to Fair Park, and Harper had a blast! She was concerned about the fact that there wasn't a seatbelt but quickly got over it! She loved feeding the farm animals, riding some rides, and of course, eating a funnel cake! A great time was had by all!



Clearly loving the Dart!



The indoor car show was a hit!

This makes me laugh every time I look at it. T looks completely annoyed!

Riding her purple 4-wheeler



She didn't love this one...she had quite the nervous expression the whole ride



This one was a bumpy ride, but she eventually started enjoying it!

We're already looking forward to next year...she'll enjoy it even more!

Step 1...complete

Thankfully someone came out to remove the water heater...so at least the water has stopped saturating my carpet. But oh my word, the smell...it is AWFUL! I'm doing my best to try to salvage it...but I think it might be a lost cause. And unfortunately, Corby's coworker can't fix the floor until Thursday evening, so the new water heater will be installed on Friday. But he will be much cheaper than hiring a carpenter...so that's the price we have to pay! Here's my attempt at drying things out...this area is only a small portion...but I can only dry one section at a time!

Water, water everywhere!

We could definitely use Noah and his ark around here! Our hot water heater busted yesterday, but the water hasn't stopped flowing! Due to the age of our tank, the shut off valve seems to be corroded and unusable! And since we still need water around here, we can't shut it all off. I've lost track of how many towel changes we have had! And I'm almost confident our carpet floor is ruined...I just don't know how it can survive! We will hopefully get it out tomorrow, but I doubt we'll get our new one yet. You know, because the wood underneath it is completely rotten. So we'll be getting that fixed first. Oh the joys of homeownership...there are definitely times I wish we were right back in our apartment!

Wallace Wannabes

Harper's future elementary school has a program called the Wallace Wannabes. You can start going to events at 18 months old, but we just now were able to go to our first hang out. They meet at the school and this time, it was at the gym with the p.e. teacher and some 5th graders. Each child joined a pair of older kids and did all the things they normally do during p.e. They did some exercising, threw bean bags through hanging hula hoops, and rolled a ball around. Harper had such a great time!!! I love this program and plan on going to as many events as we can! Once kindergarten rolls around, she will be perfectly familiar with everything and everyone at the school!

Traveling with a toddler and baby Tay-Tay

We went to Little Rock this past weekend, and I did a horrible job of taking pictures! We went for a few different events, and a great time was had by all! The most important was Tia Leah's birthday, and we had such a fun celebration! I also wanted to go because the school I went to from kindergarten to 10th grade was having their reunion. Since my class was so small, I knew everyone so well... so I really wanted to see them. I had such a fun time catching up with all of my friends... still so bummed I didn't take a single picture! Among the main events, we also went to the pep rally and parade at my mom's school. The math department had a float... the Pi-rates, and Harper got to ride on it during the parade! She had a blast! We also went to the pumpkin patch as a family. Harper enjoyed the sunflower maze, hay bail maze, getting her face painted, playing in the corn pit, and picking out a pumpkin. Baby Tay-Tay did great on the trip, and everyone loved getting to meet her! Harper was so sad to leave KK's house... she even cried about it again this morning! (Sorry mom, I know that will make you cry to hear that!).

The Pi-rates... they even had a cheer about Pi

Thrilled about the pumpkin!

She sat perfectly still the whole time!

I was so impressed!

She loved the flower and pumpkin on her face
