Oh hOw i LoVe tHis cHiLd

I have been waiting for this weekend since I was told we got Miss. Landry a whole weekend a few weekends ago. There are no words to describe how much I love this child. She makes my life that much better. She constantly makes me laugh and when she's trying to talk to me, you just know she is trying to say something so important. I got her saying Bobby this weekend so I can't wait for him to see her again so he can hear her say it. I had to share her with my parents on Saturday but I got her to myself for a few hours today (Sunday)!

Kara is very good about sending her clothes that I have bought her and this sweater dress is one of my favorites. Now if she only had black boots to go with it...

She is getting really good about smiling for the camera and after every picture she wants to see it.

There are some black boots but wait.....they are too big. She loves playing in peoples shoes. I wonder where she got her shoe obsession from? :)

A little nap before shopping time

Lunch time at the Cheesecake Factory.

Having fun with Mimi and Pop

Goof Ball.....(and what I didn't take a picture of was, Landry is looking at Mimi and Mimi has a nacho sticking out of her mouth just like this)!

I wonder which one she will get for Christmas?

Taking another snooze on Pop's shoulder. I love that face

Bath time!

This is her new thing. She turns the water on and drinks from it. It's the funniest thing.

and finally....Sunday morning and just us girls. On our way to breakfast

Her funny face pancakes at La Peep I got her.

and now my time with her is over. Poor Angel had like 2 feet of space in the back of the car.

Oh and what's a weekend with Aunt Dani without getting a few new pairs of shoes. They are sparkly and the toes light up when she walks.

and here are the boots. I looked forever for black but couldn't find any. Oh well...her blonde hair and blue eyes will go very good with these.

Landry Kate Smith....Aunt Dani loves you more than you will ever know. You make my life so wonderful with your blue eyes and goofy laugh. You have so many quirks that I love. I think God everyday that your mom met your dad cause that lead me to you. I hope there are many years of Aunt Dani and Landry time! I love you

Halloween

This weekend we had our Halloween party and we dressed up as Pauly D and Snooki from The Jersey Show.

Bobby put black hair spray in his hair. He looked so different. Tattoos are fake

Billy was Tinkerbell

Kristen was the Progessive girl

Bobby and me. I had this dark tanning lotion that washes off. And I had the poof but you cant see it really well.

Jeff and Becca as stick figures

Matt was something, Angie was a devil, B, me, Kristen and Billy

All the girls at the party

All the guys at the party

Bullet even dressed up for Halloween!

Bullet, Bobby and Izzy

On Sunday, we had Trunk or Treat at Bobby's church. Kristen made Kent a onesie that looked like a baseball.

Bobby and Kent

Kent and Colton

I LOVE Halloween. I really love all the candy. I over indulge every year but I really don't care.

Engagement Photos

Here are our engagement photos. Thank you to Jeremy Shelby for doing these for us. I am very excited about this whole wedding process and to have amazing documentation of our adventure together and capturing just how much love we have for one another.

Enjoy!

Fair Time

The family decided to go to the fair this weekend minus Bobby because he had to work. I decided to bring along the girl I use to nanny for and who's baby sisters I keep as well.

This is Campbell looking at Big Tex for the first time....she was kinda scared of him.

Patiently waiting her turn

Love those baby blues

Holding hands

Playing pick-a-boo (by-the-way...you are looking at my two flower girls!)

I love this child

On to the food portion of our outing (and I might say...my favorite part)

Mom and Dad enjoying peaches-n-cream

Fried Frito Pie Balls...the BEST!

Fried Smore Pop-Tart

Campbell enjoying her cotton candy

And me enjoying my fried smore (it was a REAL smore...real graham cracker, real chocolate and real marshmallow)

I look forward to the fair every year. I would have enjoyed it a little more if my fiance had blessed it with his presence but its cool. I sure do love hanging with my family.

(And a special THANK YOU to my awesome brother-in-law Tim, because whenever I said I wanted something, he was in line getting it for me. Love you lots)

P.S. If Bobby can perfect frying something special and entering it in the fair next year, you might just see us there! Good Luck to him
