I am 1 and 1/2!!!

and... I am going to THE BAHAMAS on Tuesday!! My Kri Kri is getting married and I am really excited. My mom said she kinda wishes she could go without me but aunt Kristen says I have to go. I am staying at the Atlantis and there are some really cool kids pools there. I guess I am going to have to go trick or treating there because we won't be back until Sunday. I turned 1 and 1/2 yesterday. My mom can't believe I am going to be 2 soon. It kinda makes her sad that I am getting so big. I am getting really smart too!! Today I ate salad and tomato at lunch. I think it was the salad dressing that I loved. I always want to taste whatever my mommy is eating. Usually I don't like it but today I did. When I don't like something, I say guck!! A lot of words I say start with g. We will have lots of pictures when we come back. I hope you have a good week! I know I will.

Oh yea, I am not a space alien, I am a ladybug. Leighton the ladybug!!

Sesame Street LIVE

I loved going to see ELMO last night! He is a really good dancer and singer! I loved watching him and clapping and dancing. My mommy and daddy and Grace's mommy and daddy decided we should leave at half time. As you can see from the picture below I was getting pretty sleepy. They passed out these really cool Elmo balloons at half time too. But, I didn't get one. They really knew how to sucker us kids into wanting one.

Taking a rest on daddy's head.



Me sitting like a big girl watching Elmo.


Me mommy daddy grace and her mommy and daddy. I wanted down to play.

The big show!!!

Happy Fall Yall!!

I am loving this cool weather!! Mommy lets me go outside and play a lot more! I would stay outside all day if she would let me. I also really like the orange balls. My mom keeps telling me they are pumpkins. They are fun to play with.

A really nice lady named Jeanelle Caraway took some fall pictures of me. You should check out her website. www.jcarawayphotography.com

A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

My mom took me to the pumpkin patch today with my friends! We had lots of fun! We went on a hayride, saw lots of cool animals, picked pumpkins, went on a train ride, and a carousal. Here are some pictures of our fun day! Ms. Katrina said she had never seen me so still at lunch . I was worn out after our fun day!

Fun at the Fair!

Who knew the fair could be so much fun?? Leighton had the best time riding the rides, eating french fries for dinner, petting and feeding the animals, watching all the people, and picking up the ducks. I forgot how much fun the fair was until taking her and watching her enjoy all the craziness the Mississippi State Fair offers!

Beach Trip

We had a great time at the beach for the last 6 days. Last Thursday me, mommy, beckett, and britt britt went to beckett's condo. The daddy's had a fishing trip planned and our mommys didn't want to be stuck at home alone all weekend. They decided we should go to the beach too. We decided we didn't want to sleep on the way there. We were pretty good though thanks to Barney entertaining us for most of the way there. Everyday we would get up go to the pool, come in, eat lunch, take a nap, and then go somewhere cool. Usually it involved shopping! The moms like to shop! Sunday the daddys came. The moms were excited they could have a break. They were most excited about their pedicures they got on Monday morning. I will tell you one thing my mommy wasn't excited about....One night we went to the grocery store and me and beckett were riding in the spaceship cart together. I didn't really like him touching my steering wheel so I decided I would bite him. My mommy got really mad at me but it didn't stop me from biting. I did it several more times. I keep getting spankings but it isn't really working! My mom is really mad at me right now! I am sorry beckett! I promise if you invite me back to the beach i won't bite you. My mommy says she is going to STOP this biting!!

Let me out of this highchair!!
Yay! Daddy finally made here! Mommy really doesn't like playing in the sand!
Future MSU quarterback!!
Let's get in the water!!
Fine, I'll look at the camera.

So sweet ....holding hands in the car.

At the pool - notice I am not in the water. My favorite part of the pool is running AROUND it!

Sweet Beckett

The pictures I promised..

Here are some pictures from RAW in Memphis. Teddy is the one in the gold speedo. I didn't get a good shot of his butt - it says priceless- too funny. He is pretty cute for a wrestler!

Gatti Town

This is fun!
Get me off of this thing!!

We took Leighton to Gatti Town a couple of weeks ago. There still isn't much she can do there but she had a great time. Her favorite part was pulling out the tickets and giving them to Andy.
