Let's start with Halloween shall we! We actually got to have another Halloween without snow! That makes 2 years in a row now! Unfortunately that was replaced with wind! Not my favorite thing but thankfully I got to stay home this year and hand out the candy while Pat took the others around the neighborhood. We are still pretty lucky that they are smaller and once the candy bags get to heavy they are ready to quit! Here they are!
Addy as a ballerina was a last minute costume idea! I couldn't think of anything to dress her as and I couldn't find a small enough costume at any stores. I do love the tutu! Good thing I had my mom and sister to help put it all together for me! Once the tutu was made I had the idea of blessing Addy in it as well, which I thought was a great idea. But after suggesting the idea to Pat (he said no) I was searching for another option to bless her in. This then turns into a mad rush trying to find a suitable dress for her to be blessed in without it costing me a fortune! I know that the cost of something shouldn't matter because this is a special event, but I have a hard time dishing out the money when they only wear it for one day! Here again steps in my very talented and awesome Mom, who helps me find a less expensive dress that is way to big, and turns it into this!
Oh and these!
I seriously would have been blessing her in a diaper if she wouldn't have sacrificed her Saturday to make the dress! And now Addy has a very special dress to pass onto her daughters. Pat gave her a beautiful blessing which she cried all the way through, and once it was over she fell asleep for the rest of the meeting! I guess we were due to have a crier since we haven't had one yet!
Afterward we had family over for lunch which was very yummy thanks to everyone that offered to help out. And we spent the rest of Sunday pumping Tylenol into Emmy trying to bring down her fever! She still has one, but it has been more mild so far today! Guess we have finally had our turn with the flu! Hopefully Addy, Pat and I can avoid it. We are crossing our fingers!
We didn't get a lot of pictures because of Emmy being sick but we did at least get one of our family.
And on another note....Wrestling starts today! I now officially take on the role of Wrestling widow! The countdown is on until March!

Happy everything to you too!!! Your kids are perfectly adorable and YEAH to Reggie for her gorgeous dress...nice for baby #4 to have something new and JUST HERS!!! I look at that picture of you with your little family and can't help but think how amazing life is!!!
Busy times! The kids are darling, I can't believe you have three girls, and you look great too! That blessing dress is gorgeous, your mom needs to go into business. I also love the Halloween quilt your kids were standing in front of. I think craftiness must fun in your family.
Great family photo Jess, you're all so coordinated in your outfits! And you're one hot Mommy!
Addy looked so pretty, great job Reggie on the dress. What a nice touch to have matching booties. Kind of like temple slippers.
Your kids always have such nice costumes. My favorite will always be Rawley's Frankenstein one, with the big green head, haha so cute!
What a beautiful dress! Your mom is so talented. :)
Wow - you guys did have a busy weekend! Hope the flu is staying low key in your house.
The photo of your family at the bottom of this post is so sweet. You are a growing family. I remember when I was assigned to be your visiting teacher when you were pregnant with Hadley. That doesn't seem that long ago. I love Addy's tutu. Great idea. I miss you guys and hope all is well with the new babe.
Great family photo Jessie. That is great your mom was able to do that so fast and the shoes were just adorable. Talented lady!
It seems so strange to see you with 4 kids. I still just remember pregnant Jessie in Louisville when we all just moved there. Boy how time flies!!! Minus the flu, seems like a wonderful day. Tell Pat hello!
