Mr and Mrs Wakeland.......and a few pumpkins

The first weekend in October, I had the honor of standing by one of my best friend's as she got married.  I could not be more happy for Melissa and Joseph.  We had the best time celebrating their marriage all weekend long.  After rehearsal, we headed to midtown for rehearsal dinner at an art bar.  It was so fun, and a really great party.  The next morning, I headed to Melissa's early for a full day of girl time doing hair and makeup and getting ready for the I do's.  Melissa was a beautiful bride, and everything about the wedding was so perfect.  Congrats Wakelands.  Jason and I wish you a lifetime of happiness and so glad we were able to be a part of your special day!

While I was at Melissa's house getting ready, Jason and Deanna took Addie to Kingston's 1st birthday party at a pumpkin patch.  They said she had a great time seeing the animals and running all over the place.

checking each other out...haha

Look Dad.  I found a keeper!

Other September Shenanigans

Because this blog serves as my scrapbook, below are just a ton of other random pics from the month of September.

Parent's Weekend

In the middle of September, Jason had his annual Mancation to College Station to watch the Alabama game.  Since Ad and I were going to be home alone all weekend, my parents decided to come up to visit.  It was so nice to have the help, and we had a great time.  Friday, we shopped for new sofas for my mom and ended up finding some she liked so the day was a success!  I can't wait to see them in their house once they come in.  Saturday, we just ran a few errands and watched football at the house.  It was a nice, relaxing weekend and always so great to see Mom and Dad.

Too cool for school.  Papaw was the hero because he would take her outside to see all the pups walking around the neighborhood.

Wigin' Out

Somehow life has just been in the way lately, and I have totally fallen off the blog wagon.  Getting so far behind causes a lot of stress for my type-A personality, but hopefully I can just do a few quick posts and get caught up to present day life.

Back at the beginning of September, I headed to Galveston for my first girl's-only weekend since Addie was born for one of my best friend's bachelorette party.  We rented this really great, old house and had the best time just hanging with the girls.  The house had a small pool in the backyard so we lounged by the pool Friday night and all day Saturday before heading out for dinner and a night on the town.  Cianne, planned such a fun weekend for Melissa, and it was so great to just enjoy some carefree girl time.

Saturday night, we all wore wigs (or hot pink extensions in my case) for our night on the town.  It went along with the theme for the weekend and ended up being really fun and causing lots of attention without all the traditional bachelorette garb.

One of my favorite girls

Meanwhile, while I was enjoying a weekend away, Jason took Addie down to the lake to hang out with his fam.  They both had a great time, and I don't think ever even realized I was gone.  Addie got tons of attention from her Aunt Jenn and Nana and loved going up and down the stairs to the backyard.
