November News slow but fast

We went on a hike to Mount Mitchell

When we got home Miles discovered his tool box

Then after naps one day we went to the park where he discovered the slide.

While for breakfast one Sunday morning Isabella discovered the proper way to eat a cinnamon roll to only eat the icing.

We dressed as twins for turkey day as we gave thanks for all that we have been given, even a reindeer nose from falling off the step outside of Nana and Papa's.

We played with our cousins from Jersey, George and Tori and Jackson too.We went to the children's museum which was lots of fun to go grocery shopping, play with the crane and now we must get ready for the joyous Christmas season.

Haunting Hoglunds

This year I had planned to be Ariel for months before then I at the beginning of October I decided that I wanted to be Annie for Halloween but Momma had already made my costume. She told me I could be Annie for my school Halloween party but the week of that party I decided I wanted to be Sleeping Beauty. It is a good thing that I have a stash of costumes in my dress up suitcase. Since I had to be Ariel I decided that Miles should be my sidekick Flounder. We had a great time for Halloween trick or treating and I actually like getting the candy the best! Miles is clueless where the candy is concerned because he does not get to have any this year. Maybe next year--when I am Annie, Momma is Ms. Hannagan and Daddy is Daddy Warbucks, Miles will be well I do not know just yet maybe Punjab. Here are a few pictures of our Halloween Festivities.


Flounder giving us the full effect.


I have to go find some thingamabobs.

Instead I found Tommy.
Must they embarass us at such an early age?

I can walk for Miles....

I went from being held by my Nanny Jenna at the beginning of October to walking. That is right everybody - I AM WALKING! I know I can hardly believe it too. In the beginning of October I went to New Orleans and Nana's crawling around then 2 weeks later I went back to Nana's and she was just as amazed as I was I was no longer taking little steps I was walking. I am all over the place now from talking on the phone.

To eating a cookie on the go. I can even get into the pantry if the door is not shut all the way. Momma and Daddy are enjoying my new found independence as much as I am. I often like to lurk around the corner just to see what is going on and flash my fabulous smile to get a good laugh or smile out of everyone.

Isabella's 1st Homework Assignment

When I went to New Orleans this pass October, everyday after we picked Kalee Jo up from school she would have to do her homework before we could go jump on the trampoline. So when we got home I would pretend that I was doing my homework just like Kalee Jo. Then it happened out of the blue - I got a homework assignment to work on. I was so excited to finally have homework to do. Here I am working on my assignment.

Bike MS

In case you were unaware of this bit of information Daddy has been spending the majority of his Saturday mornings training for the bike MS 100 mile ride. Daddy decided to do this ride for our Great Uncle Tom who has MS. It was a very special an important ride because all of the money that Daddy raised goes to research MS. Nana and Papa came to Greenville to help us cheer on Daddy, Mr. Tripp and Mr. Bobby as they finished up the 100 mile ride. We had alot of fun on the weekend with them at the 'race'. Way to go DADDY!

When September Ends

It has been way too long since we had a post, sharing a blog was supposed to get rid of this problem but apparently it hasn't worked. The End of September meant:

An end to Guiding Light. This means no more singing 'Only love can save the werld, only love can save the werld' during the opening credits. Momma was crying for the last show which I thought was crazy. Since Lulu and I were there to comfort her it helped her tears go away really fast. Taking the Halloween crates out of the attic was next on the month end agenda. We do this each year so we can get ready for Halloween. Momma wanted to try on an afro wig from the costume box. Doesn't he look cute with curly hair? At the very end of the Tommy and Anna came over and we had a mini-not so slumber party. I know you are saying 'What the heck is that?' Well I got to stay up late until their Mom and Dad came to pick them up. We had lots of fun watching movies and eating popcorn. while Miles and Anna played.

Cheeseburger in Paradise

We went to see a Jimmy Buffet tribute band this past weekend, I was a dancing machine with my friend Maura. We had so much fun but unfortunately our time out was cut short because Miles started acting like an animal and Momma said 'Let us get out of here before people start giving us dirty looks.' Maybe it was because he had to much to drink - what do you think?I just had to share with you Momma's latest creation for me. She even made a matching dress for my baby. I just love that she has started sewing me clothes now I have one of a kind outfits that no one else has. That is just too awesome.
