Iphone Catch Up

 This is a big catch up from pictures on my phone.  One Saturday morning I was wanting to get out of the house and do something so we decided to go check out the Little Rock Riverfront Farmer's Market. The Vick's joined and we had a great time wondering through the market and then the kids played on the playground and then we all had lunch down there.  We have never been down there for the farmer's market and they had a ton of good stuff down there.  The vegetables were great that I bought and lunch was really good too.  It was so nice to do something as a family together on a Saturday morning.

 Harper chilling in her stroller.  She wasn't content for long.

 Two little monkeys climbing around.

 Michael got up there with Eden=)

 Harper cruisin' around the furniture.  

 Harper is starting to get some curl.  Wouldn't it be something if they stuck around?  Crossing my fingers.

Eden at the splash park to kick off our life group.  Our life group is trying a new thing this year and I think it is going to be great.  So far it has been fantastic!!!

 Michael and Harper hanging out together at the splash park.

 Eden and Molly playing in the water together.

 Eden and Harper in her tent together.  We finally got Harper to go through the tunnel.  She was so cute!

 Yay!!!  She was so proud of herself for making it all the way through.

 Lincoln, Jackson, Eden, and Hannah at church one Wednesday evening.  

Michael and I got to go to the first Razorback game (the only one they have won so far).  The Begg's, our mentor couple from church, had some extra tickets so we drove up for the six o'clock game and then drove home that night.  Needless to say we were up very late.  We had a great time with David and Jani and thank them so much for the tickets.  We had so much fun.  I hadn't been to a game in Fayetteville in probably eleven or twelve years.  I know Michael and I were dating last time I went so it's been a while=)

 Michael, me, Jani, and David

 Our view.

 The Begg's had gotten Eden a Razorback tattoo and she had to put it on immediately;)  Thanks to Granna for keeping the girls for us.  She had it rough.  The power went out that night from a fluke storm and she had to pack both girls in the dark and Aunt Sarah had to come help because Harper wasn't cooperating.  Jeff and Sarah's power ended up coming back on late so they all headed over there last second and getting to bed late.  I know Marilyn wasn't expecting all the drama for that one night but what can you do.  We LOVE YOU GRANNA, and Uncle Jeff, and Aunt Sarah for helping with our girls while we were gone!!!!

 Just one of Harper's cheesy grins.  She makes the funniest faces while she is eating.

 Had to get a picture of her on her actual 11 month birthday.

 Eden loves doing her own hair and styling it herself.  She cracks us up a lot of the time with what she does to her hair. 

Carrie, Julie, and I had a garage sale a few weeks ago and we did good.  We didn't have much left which was wonderful.  The only thing I didn't get rid of was an old piano.  Oh well, I'll try Craigslist.  

 Starting early:)

 Lots and lots of stuff went.

 Eden posing with a puzzle she had completed.

 Before school one morning.

 Harper loved red beans and rice one night.  The rest of us did not care for the recipe but Harper inhaled it.

 Harper started balancing some.  She is walking a lot with her walker toys and holding on to fingers but she is not a fan of when you let go.  She sits right down on her bottom the second you let go of her hand. 

 Eden has been practicing writing her name with a mommy "E" and baby letters behind it.  She is getting pretty good.  Sometimes she still gets her "b" and "d" mixed up. 

 We celebrated Michael's birthday this past Saturday and we went to dinner with his mom, aunt, and Sarah and family.  He chose EatMyCatfish for dinner which never disappoints.  I bought him a new Iphone 5 for his birthday.  He doesn't have a smart phone so he will be joining the world with the newest phone when it shows up.  

 Lydia and Eden at dinner.  They are so precious together.

Lindsay had a tennis tournament this past weekend in Little Rock so we saw her coming and going over the weekend.  On Sunday, Lindsay, Eden, and I went to see Finding Nemo 3D and we loved it.  It was very neat and Eden kept reaching for things that were coming towards her.  Eden loves going to movies!

ZiZi and Harper before she left on Monday morning.  Harper looks so big in this picture.  

Newest Nephew, Camden

My newest nephew has arrived!!!  Camden Murphy Trotter made his big arrival on September 4th.  He was huge at 9 lb 14 oz.  He was 10 oz heavier than Harper and I thought she was big, ha=)  Jamie ended up having to have a C-section because Camden kept breaching himself over and over.  He just wanted his entrance into this world to be memorable for Morgan and Jamie;)  He already can't be like his older siblings.  He is just the cutest thing and I can't wait to get my hands on him.  Eden and I are taking a special trip to see them this weekend.  We can't wait to snuggle and love on him.

Don't you want to eat him up or pinch his cheeks?  He is precious!

 Love this face with the eyes open!!  

 My mom sent me these pictures from when she was up there helping out.  I made the little quilt he is laying on.  He looks so cute on it.

Myles is checking on his little brother while J. David was at school.  All those boys are so cute and J. David is so proud of his littlest baby brother.  So sweet!  I can't wait to see them all!

Ballet

 Eden started ballet class this year.  She decided she enjoyed the six week trial class so much that she chose to do ballet over gymnastics this year.  She couldn't wait to start ballet, especially because one of her friends, Lyla, is in her class.  They are so cute together and were jumping up and down with excitement before the class started.  They were hilarious.  It just so happened that ballet class started on the first day of school so if you happened to ask Eden when she was starting school she also told you she was starting ballet the same day.  She couldn't have been more excited.

Eden all ready to go. 

 Eden on the far left.  Practicing a little tumbling and stretching.

 Splits.

Eden is on the front row and center.  The class is a ballet/tap class.  She loves tapping in her tap shoes.

Eden found out that they have a recital in May and that she gets to be on stage.  She has been telling everyone that she gets to be on stage and that they will have to come and watch her.  It is so funny!  She also says that she doesn't want people to laugh at her.  I have know idea where she got that idea but I had to reassure her that nobody would be laughing at her.  She is so cute and listens really, really well during class.  I think she takes is pretty seriously which is hilarious!  I love watching her but it is not easy man handling Harper during that hour because it is right during nap time but oh well.  She will survive;)  Be prepared for lots of dance pictures this year!

First Day of Pre-K4

 Eden started school on September 5th and boy was she ready.  She had been asking all summer when school was going to start.  We both could not have been happier when that day came;)  She is at First Southern Baptist and we LOVE her teacher Mrs. Becky!!!!  She goes three days a week and stays until two.

There are several friends in her class from last year and she was so excited to see them all.  They are learning a memory verse every week and she has learned three so far.  I can't wait to see what all she learns this year.  She wakes up and can't wait to go to school and I love that she is so excited to learn and play.  Here are her first day of school pictures.

This last picture is from her orientation day.  Mrs. Becky is standing at the head of the table.  We LOVE her!!!
