Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Here is what Jill wrote on her blog
(I am too tired to write my own :-)...

Yesterday we went to the Pumpkin patch for the first time. We were joined by quite the group, we had the Hanlon family, the Paske's, the Pope's, and some really proud grandparents. We all had a blast! Linley took all of the pictures of Kent and Mabry, even some with her boys, Palmer and Peyton! Kent and Mabry had matching fall outfits, the pictures of them are priceless..in fact, they are worth a thousand words!! That is Linley's new business' name. She is awesome! Thanks Linley.

We had a GREAT weekend, it was filled with friends and family!!! Friday night we went to the Governor's Club with Bert and Jill, Bert's parents and some of their friends. Our plans were to go to the getdown, but due to the rain it was cancelled. We still had a lot of fun, wonderful food, and stayed out until after 10:30!!! That is funny to write, but these days it is pretty impressive that we were even out. Saturday was the Robster's (my moms) birthday...we had a yummy morning party with whataburger taquitos, bagels and cake with magic candles. The candles were a bit of a bust...I thought I was going to burn mom's house down. Fun times with the familia! Sat. afternoon we went to celebrate some more at a birthday tailgate for my mom. I love the tailgating atmosphere...tons of garnet and gold, people and junk food. Mabry was all about it. There was a dog there so of course she was excited! Saturday late afternoon Brady, DeeAnn, Addie and Lydia came to visit. We decided they need to move down here so we can hang out all the time. They stayed the night, and after a fun and relaxing morning, lunch at MOES and time at the park, the got on the road and headed south. We are going to get to see them again this weekend....fun times for us. The cousins were all so cute together...Mae Mae did not miss a beat, she loved all the action! Then this afternoon we had one more visitor...Ms. Reggenia. We used to teach together and when she is in town we spend some time catching up. She loved seeing Mabry, amazed about how fast she is changing. We love Ms. Reggenia..another special treat to our weekend! Andy and Mabes and I went on a walk this afternoon. It was great to get some fresh air and get some exercise. Now Andy and I are "geekin'" out. After I finish blogging I'm going to try and finish Mabry's fall dress...I will post a picture of that soon. Hope everyone is doing great! Love and miss you all!

Mabry's First Pony Ride!!!

HCES had their Fall Festival on Saturday and Mae Mae had her first pony ride! She had so much fun. She started panting like she does when she sees a dog or cat. She stayed on (with mommy at her side...of course) for 3-4 times around the circle. Then we had to take some pictures...thank you Lawson! The bottom picture is from the book fair, we went with Aunt Julie and Lawson just to hang out for a few minutes. Mabry was sporting her school uniform...I must say she is pretty stinkin' cute. Andy and I are going to try not to stay up to our normal 11:30 tonight...so I will keep this entry short. Do my retainers totally stick out in these pictures, because if it weren't for little Mabes that is all I would notice!?! Oh, just so you all know, I am wearing my favorite "tee" right now..."ESCALADE!"

Adios!

P.S. The next post will be a couple pictures from my high school reunion!

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Yes, Andy's mom, grandma Aralee (mamaw), Aunt Karen and Lois adopted that name for the weekend. They had a fun flight to Tallahassee and a great couple of days of family time. We hung out on Sat. went to the mall (rainy) walked around and then hit up Cold Stone...yum yum! We were a sight wheeling around Mabry and Aunt Karen (in her wheelchair due to a broken foot). Sunday morning we drove to St. George Island so our family could get a look of the coast. It was a BEAUTIFUL day. We had a BJ's pizza picnic and enjoyed the beach for a couple of hours. Thanks Matt and Katie for the best parking space on the beach! Monday I had to go to work, Mabry decided she wanted to skip school and hang out with her Grandma Janet :-) They had lots of fun before all meeting back up and heading to the airport. I wish I could have seen them all together in the airport...they are a funny crew!

This week has been great...busy! I feel like it is always busy. Ali had a sewing get together last night...we were sewing until almost 11pm and I loved it! Andy and I went to look at another house before sewing. We are looking into this one! We will see what happens. God will let us know when it's the house he wants us to live in. Tonight we are chillin at home. Mabry went down great, we had a tasty dinner and now Andy is practicing guitar while I am updating ya'll on the Hanlon life. Tomorrow night I think we get to chill again before a busy busy weekend. Supper Club, HCES Fall Festival and I can't forget my 10 year REUNION! Have I really been out of high school for 10 years? Am I really in my 5th year of teaching? How can it be? Anyway, we won't talk about my 29th birthday coming up in less than a month.

Love you all!

Here is a link to some pictures from the fun weekend!

FIRST BOW!!!



















Mae Mae with her do-rag

Here are the retainers...all nice and shiny!!! The kids have loved them. "Look ya'll Coach Hanlon got braces"

Flashback!

I am wearing retainers...can't wait to download a picture!!! My teeth are shifting so the Dr. hooked me up with some nice metal...I forgot how sore they get, ouch! Andy and I are geekin' out right now on the couch. I don't know how my eyes are still open...I am so tired. I have to wait up for our late night Oreos and milk...so no sleep for now! Oh, and Gaye gave us some pumpkin spice coffee that is sooooo good that we have added to our nighttime treat. Mabry had a busy busy day and crashed right around 7:00. She is so much fun. She tried to play with the big kids in the sandbox today...only came home with a little bitof sand in her little bit of hair! All is good in the Hanlon house. My back is feeling better, have not tried to run yet...maybe soon. I am able to feed Mabry again, so that makes me a super happy mom. We are looking forward to a visit from Andy's mom, grandma, aunt and cousin's wife this weekend! It has been way too long since we saw them last and miss them so much. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Adios,
L.A. :-)
