Pumpkin Patch

Fall is my very favorite time of year, and going to pick out a pumpkin is one of my favortie fall things to do!  Despite her serious expressions, Jolie had fun at the pumpkin patch too. 

She inspected the pumpkins to help us find the perfect one.

September

September is always a busy month for us with football in full swing.  Jolie and I settled into a new routine once Cole started back to school the end of August.  Most of our morning started like this...

 

Jolie likes to spend a little time on her laptop while Mommy gets her breakfast ready.

 

Jolie was ready for another game!

I love this dress on her.  It was one of my first girly purchases before Jolie was born.

Poor Cole stays exhausted this time of year.  He fell asleep playing with Jolie one Saturday afternoon when he got in from work!

One pretty evening, we went to Chisolm park to play and feed the ducks. 

 

This was the most amazing, bright rainbow I've ever seen.  It was a double rainbow, and you could see both ends. 

This was on Cole's birthday.  Can you tell that she loves her daddy?

Jolie likes to meet with the QBs to give a little feedback after the games.   I love seeing her in the huddle with her daddy. 

I am so thankful that Jo LOVES going to football games!  I was worried that they would be hard on her since we are out so late at games and they are so loud, but she has the best time every Friday night!  We have lots of fun cheering for the Cards together!

August

We had a great end to our summer in August. 

Grandmom came to visit.

Jolie learned that she loves carrots!

Nina had a birthday.

Cole and Jason played a little XBox Kinect.  It was intense.

Jo spent a little time with Aunt Mel before she went back to school.

Cousin time :)

Sweet girl

We had a fun visit from a special friend all the way from Nashville!

Jolie loved Emily.  I think it was mutual.

 

Jolie has been getting all dolled up for her daddy's games.  What a cute little cheerleader!



This outfit from my friend Lindsey says "It's football season...Have you seen my Daddy?" But, really, has anyone seen Cole?

When my friend Emily was visiting, we got a little crafty and I made Jolie this outfit for games. 

Whew, I am finally caught up through the summer!  It was a good one!

July

Better late than never!  July was another fun month for our little family of three.

Jolie's first Fourth of July

The three of us, my parents, and Melanie went over to Tim and Linda's to celebrate the Fourth together with a little swimming an cooking out.

That evening we hung out at home and attempted to watch fireworks from our backyard.

We also made another trip out to camp, which means more time with cousin Drayton!

He was very nice to share his swing with Jolie.  She loved it!

Jolie thought Drayton was super funny!

All of the cousins together on 4th session middle Sunday

Cousin Beau came over to play one day while his parents were out of town.  He and Cole had lots of fun doing boy things....

like making Captain America a shield.

On another visit to camp Jolie made her first trip to visit an outcamping site.  She hitched a ride with dad.

After Jolie loved the fish at the zoo, her daddy got her some fish of her very own!  Don't tell her that two of them have died...

Jolie loved to be swaddled.  We weaned her off being swaddled gradually, beginning with one arm out.  Swaddled, sleeping babies are the cutest!!

Jolie had a play date with her friend Jaxon.  Isn't he too cute!

Jolie's cousins are so sweet to her.  Lilly and Jolie.

These pictures make me miss summer!
