Pump it up







We had a great time at pump it up with Beckett and Sparks last week. They loved jumping but Leighton preferred running around, playing in the water fountain, and sliding. Her favorite thing to do as always was watch all the other kids! I think I was more ready for a nap than her when we got home.

"Gumps" cabin



Leighton had a great time visiting Gumps' (as she calls him) cabin. It is his favorite place to go and I think it is one of Leighton's now too. She loved running around like a wild women.
She is taking after her daddy loving the outdoors. I like the outdoors too but not as much as those two.


Just hopping on the log...

Andy and "gumps" having some lunch. Leighton wasn't a fan. She just wanted wanted to check out everything.




These are what most of the pictures I took look like because she was always on the move! I keep begging for a new camera..maybe for Christmas!! I never even got a picture of the cabin gumps built because I was chasing Leighton trying to get a picture of her actually looking at me. :)

I have posted a picture of Kristen and Teddy on their big day. It is not even a good one. I forgot to take any pictures. My mom has some and when I get the disk I will post more. I am not sure when her professional ones will be ready but I will let you know when they are. Isn't she a beautiful bride! I have never seen her so happy! I want to say an extra special thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special for them!

Kreativ Blogger



Well, Brittney tagged me to do the Kreativ Blogger. I am supposed to tell you 6 interesting things about myself. The problem is I am not very interesting but I am going to give it a shot.


1. I use to be OCD. You could eat off of my floors, baseboards, etc. Everything had a place and I made sure everything was in its place. I always had a plan and was very organized. I cleaned my house like a mad women. Other teachers would come in my classroom and ask me how my classroom was so clean and organized and could they pay me to fix theirs. However, pregnancy cured this problem. When I was first sick when I got pregnant I would pay my sister to clean my house. She has a touch of OCD just like me. Then, it just went all downhill from there. I still like things organized and clean but I am not psycho about it anymore. Sometimes I wish the OCD would come back every now and then. I think Leighton has inherited my OCD. She is obsessed with putting things back in their place, throwing away any garbage she finds, and putting her dirty clothes in the hamper. Don't worry I will be making her a to do list soon! I might even type it for her like I did when I was still OCD.
2. I am an HGTV junkie. I think I am an interior design wanna be. I use to like the decorating shows but now I am loving the ones where people are looking for a new house or getting ready to sell the one they have. Usually I don't even like how they decorate things but I LOVE to watch them work their magic!
3. I kinda stole this idea from Brittney - I have the same name as Andy's sister. Both of his grandmothers names are Sue and both of my grandmothers first names are Martha. I guess you can just call it destiny. I wonder if Leighton will follow the trend??
4. I like to drink EVERYTHING on ice. Even things you are not supposed to drink on ice like Gatorade, orange juice, apple juice, and the one that bothers people the most is WINE. I don't drink beer often unless it is so cold it has slushy in it. I would probably like it if I put it over ice. I know it is weird. But I love my drinks to be really cold. The only problem with this is when the ice starts to melt I have to throw it out and I am too embarrassed to drink wine on ice in public. I only do it at my house and with close friends. Andy hates how I waste so many drinks. It drives him crazy!
5. I love to dip my foods! I love any kind of dip. I probably can't taste most of the things I eat because all I can taste is the dip. If I go to a party and there are dips I will camp out by them all night. I probably won't touch the sweet stuff. I don't think I have ever found a dip I don't like but my favorite is something we call Crack Dip. It is cream cheese, sausage, and rotel. I can make myself sick eating it. A close second is corn dip and veggies dipped in ranch!
6. While on the food subject - Andy says I am part Mexican. I could eat Mexican 7 nights a week. My favorite Lean Cuisines and Smart Ones are even Mexican. I could probably live on chips and salsa (another favorite dip). I have always loved Mexican but recently it has gone a little over board. I have recently put jalapenos in jambalaya and Chili!
So that is some info about me- now I am tagging Amy Norris, Stacy Lindley, Mamie Kosko, Sally Black, Jessica Ferguson, Emily Brooks

18 month stats

We finally made it to our 18 month check up!
We were supposed to go last week but we changed it for our trip that never happened. Dr. Ellison said we were doing well. Everything checked out good. He had to remeasure our head because it was measure a lot smaller than our 12 month appointment. But with all our wiggling the lady measured it wrong. But, our head hadn't grown much. We haven't grown much either. No weight was gained. Mommy wished she had not gained any weight! She knew I was miniature.
Here are our stats:
311/2 inches tall 50%
21.14 pounds 25%
Head 46 cm 25%

Do you want to hear a crazy story??


Well, if you notice in the pictures (that mom stole from Bailey's mom) that I got to go trick or treating with my friends. It is because I didn't get to go to The Bahamas. It is a really long story but my Uncle Teddy's brother who was paying for our trip canceled it at the last minute. There is a lot more to it than that but you wouldn't belive it if I told you the whole story! I was really sad and so was Aunt Kristen but she got married anyway on Thursday night on Lake Caroline. It was perfect. No, she is not pregnant but Uncle Teddy will be in Thailand filming a movie when they were supposed to have their real wedding on December 13th. I have a crazy family!! It just gets crazier every day!! I did love trick or treating. Mom taught me how to say trick or treat but I wouldn't say it to the people. I would walk up and say knock knock and put my candy in my purse. Then I was ready to go to the next house. I was also glad I got to go to the church festival with daddy while mommy was helping with Aunt Robins shower on Sunday. We had a great weekend anyway!
