Missy Moo & Cade-O Too!

Our day at the ZOO

Thursday was a beautiful fall day, a perfect day to go to the zoo, so that’s what we did.
We packed up our things and headed to the Little Rock Zoo.

I was so excited for five different reasons.
1. It was Eden’s first time to the Zoo and couldn’t wait to see her expression when we saw the first animal.
2. My BESTIE Hannah got to go with us. She lives in LR now, which is just 2 hours away instead of four. YES!
3. Ashley my other good friend also came with us. She has a little girl named Addison who is so precious. I even got to hold her. Addi just melted my heart. I love holding little babies.
4. The 4th reason is kind of selfish but, I haven’t been to the zoo in a long time and couldn’t wait to go myself.
5. The 5th reason just made me jump up and down. The Zoo has one of the oldest Carousel rides unlike any other I’ve ever seen. This is one of Eden’s most favorite things to do, ride the carousel.

So, when we go to the Zoo the first thing we did was ride the carousel. Eden was so excited and daddy was more then willing to ride with her.

Eden could do this all day if we let her.

When the ride finally ended she wasn’t to happy.

That is until we saw our first animal. HAHA, ok she was really excited, but she also hadn’t gotten all her nap out.

The lemurs

This guy was huge!! He was climbing everywhere. It was so fun to watch what he was going to do next.
This is our lovely group. I really enjoyed going with everyone.
Can't we as parents all attest to this picture?

After the zoo we said goodbye to our friend Ashley and Addison and headed back to Hannah and Tyler's apartment. Which is so cute by the way!

We talked for awhile while Eden slept. We really enjoy their company. They are so sweet.

After Eden woke up, we went to eat some really good pizza.

Let me just say that even though Eden got a small nap... it was not enough for her.

We decided to take a picture anyway after a long day at the zoo.

This is what the outcome was.

limp arms, exhaustion, and delirious

Even with all three of these things, we had an amazing time.

I can't wait till our next trip to the zoo.

Our little bee

Saturday was Eden’s big début as a bumble bee. I can’t believe I didn’t get very many pictures on my camera, but I know who did Gammy and I’ll have to still them from her.

My parents came down for the weekend to hang-out and see Eden in her cute bumble bee costume. We had lots of fun especially Saturday.

Saturday we had trunk or treat at the church we attend, so I decided to decorate my trunk this year. It was so much fun finding different things to decorate our trunk with. I think my mom enjoyed it just as much as I did.

I of course had to dress up a little bit, so I was a rocker chic.

Guess who this is?

Yep, it’s Andrew. He insisted on getting the mullet wig and this shirt. Gotta love him!

Here is our cute little bumble bee. Like I said I didn’t get very many pictures. Boo!

Isn’t she cute though? Ok I’m bias.

To sum this weekend, I would say it was spooktacular!

It was a spooktacular date night.

Date nights with your husband are the best, so Andrew and I decided to go on a fun date night. Eden is Springdale visiting with the grandparents until tomorrow so it was a perfect night for us to go out.

We ended up eating at Applebee’s because the 1st place we picked was closed. After eating till our stomachs were so full I could barely walk, we decided to go home and carve a pumpkin.

I love carving pumpkins.

You know what the best thing to do while carving pumpkins is…drinking apple cider.
It was Andrew’s idea.

So here we are carving our lovely pumpkin

Yes our pumpkin has a bow, so I guess it's a her.

Hmmm... What should we name her?

She's kinda scary, probably hormonal.
I must say our date night was successful. I really enjoyed spending time with my sweet hubby.

Well, tomorrow Eden comes back home. We are so excited! We missed her a lot. Although we got a lot done as far as housework while she was gone, we can’t wait to see her smiling little face and listen to her sweet little voice tell us she wuvs us.

Also I’m so excited about Saturday. Eden is going to be a bumble bee. We found the cute little outfit at cracker barrel when they first put out the Halloween costumes and could not get over how cute it was. Gammy and papa insisted they get it for Eden. So I can’t wait to show you pictures of our cute little bumble bee.

Right Choices

We finally made it to a pumpkin patch, and let me say, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. Some of our friends and family ask if we would like to join them for an afternoon at the pumpkin patch, and we were more then willing to join.

The pumpkin patch ended up being an hour away in Southwest, MO at a farm called Right Choices. If you live in the area you have to go!

They had so much to do there. It was a perfect outing for a nice Saturday.

Here is what we did.
