is it really monday???

is this not the perfect east tennessee morning? ahhhh!

baylee played softball all day saturday ;-)  she had a purty bunt(softball players would only know the importance of this skill....it literally laid right down in front of home plate)...and i didnt get a picture of it....of course ;-(.... but check out this picture....the ball was right in her glove ;-) i got lucky.

Yum-E doughnut with SPRINKLES....at the ball field...sprinkles make everything fabulous ;-)

We stayed home ALL day Sunday...it was nice.  Mattison and I have been fighting colds so hopefully we will win the battle soon.  Matt and baylee went to the Tennessee game Saturday night!  Baylee LOVES going to the games ;-) I think next year we may invest in some season tickets ;-)

Farmington, MI

ROAD TRIP!!!
So one of our great friends decided to get married in Farmington, MI this past weekend. Super gorgeous wedding and awesome atmosphere! The Burlingame's were brave enough to get into the car with us for 8 hours! It was a blast ;-) We all loaded up friday morning after taking the kiddos to school and headed to farmington. Thank you Ron and Sarah for the invite to share such a special memory with y'all. We can't wait to make a million more memories with y'all in east tennessee. Matt and I are so blessed to have awesome friends! We love them all!

pumpkin' paintin' party

our first ever....and it is just the beginning to many many more.

  I had the girls a pumpkin' paintin' party this year. It.WAS.aWesome!!

Baylee invited 10 gals and mattison invited her "bestfriend Raina". I had Carrie at Ellaminnowpea create some invites that were super cute. We did not tell any of the girls or their mommas about the party....we just mailed the invites. It was a 100% turn out and ALL of the little gals were super excited! I provided EVERYTHING form the food, paint, pumpkins, aprons etc......I kept it simple with just pizza and oreo balls (which are Amazing if you have never had one......and super easy to make) I had aprons made for each girl with her name on it(made by my awesome mother in law)....every year the girls will bring their aprons back and we will date stamp them.....

if you have kiddos I would highly suggest a pumpkin' paintin' party! loved it

These are my two pumpkins

I have called Baylee my pumpkin since the day she was born

and mattison just fell into the name also ;-)

REESE LOVE

This past Friday we got to meet our new little niece...Reese.  Matt was out of town on business so the girls and I headed to the hospital after work ;-)

 

Of course we just HAD to stop and get some Reese Cupcakes 

They brought Reese to the window so that Miss Mattison could meet her new lil' cousin.  Mattison was so excited. 

We celebrated at Mattison's favorite place EVER!  

Uncle Matt got to finally meet Miss Reese last night

Baylee is known as the baby thief...she love all little babies.

And of course Saturday we had ballgames.  Love watching this gal play ball!

We had a great weekend ;-)

 

We are loving all these babies we are getting to spoil.  we are still expecting one more little niece...Jolie...we can not wait until she gets here and we can share some love with her too!

 

 

MIA for a Month ;-)

Wow....how does a month go by and I have not once thought....'hey maybe I will share that for the world to see'....ok realistically my 3 people that check up on me from time to time. lil' country gal can dream and imagine that the WHOLE world is waiting for her next blog update! ;-) well its not that I haven't wanted to blog almost daily because of all the exciting moments in the melton's lives but to be completely honest I haven't blogged due to lack of energy. Its sad that I go back through my pictures on my phone to remember just everything that we have been doing! One awesome thing that happened in September....(okay maybe there was 2 awesome things)...I got a "neu" baby nephew and I had a birthday!!! Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Cooper Vance ;-)

We also took Miss Baylee on her first outing with her BF... we went to a UT game!

Both Kiddos had played ball that day so they were both tired.

GO VOLS!!

 

Baylee met up with her future basketball coach ;-) GAH....how I hope that is a true statement.

I've been a little crafty lately. I have made several of these wreaths....i think they are super cute and they are super easy! i LOVE easy stuff!

Thought I would end it with this...I just love this little saying!  Having two daughters now...I want them to know the importance of being yourself and being proud of yourself. 

I love being unperfect ;-)

*makes life much more fun*

 

We went to MANY showers, birthday parties and get togethers in the month of September. 

We had lots of ball games. 

So as for October..... I will try my best to stay up to date!

Happy fall Ya'll!!!!!
