Today is my sweet husband, Matt's, birthday! I'm so thankful for him and feel very blessed to be married to him! He's so patient and loving with me and Riley. He's a wonderful husband and dad!

 

He makes me smile...

he makes me happy...

I love you Babe!

Christmas at Our House

I love Christmas time! It's my favorite holiday. This year I had lots of things I wanted to make. Some have gotten done...some will have to wait until next year.

 

My biggest project was this sign. Thanks to my amazing husband for building it for me. :) It was the funnest painting I've done!

I love these little glitter reindeer that I found at Goodwill!

I have lots of ideas for these little trees, but so far I've only made two tinsel ones... red and silver. The silver tree in this picture though came from Walgreens.

And stockings... Poor Riley will have to wait until next year for his, I guess. Thanks to Hobby Lobby for having the coordinating fabric on back order for the past 3 weeks! I won't hold it against them though cause that is like my favorite store.

 

This just happened somehow. I've had these branches since my wedding.

This was a little revised version of some ornaments I saw on Pinterest.

 Once again this is thanks to Pinterest.

I have lots of back blogging I need to do, but thought I would go ahead and share these for now.

Coon Hollo

Recently we went to visit Coon Hollo for the first time. We went with Patrick, Hannah, Katie, Justin and of course their kids. We had a great time!

 

 

 

The big slide. The kids loved this!

 

Riley even got to go on the slide!

The beautiful farm house.

The cows liked being fed and would've come on the trailer if they could have.

I was disappointed I didn't find this little shelter with pumpkins until it was starting to get dark, but we did the best we could for pictures.

They have big bins of corn kernels for kids to play in so Matt thought Riley needed to at least get a picture in them.

Family Time

 

Over the past two weeks we've spent a lot of time with our families due to Tj and Susan visiting.

 

Riley and Jonah got to meet for the first time. These two are just 5-1/2 weeks apart.

Christian making funny faces:).

Josh & Ella

Samuel is growing up so fast!

 

These two girlies have lots of fun together.

 

Matt took me to Cedar Key for my birthday. We had a great time together!

Riley loves to blow bubbles. :)

He also really likes sucking his thumb and usually does it when his paci falls out. I don't want him to get in the habit, but I do think it's cute for now.

Chilln' Out

Our little man taking it easy at 6 weeks.

His Daddy gave him a bath for the first time last week. Riley likes bath time!

 

And this is what happens when Matt helps out with a photo shoot!
