Halloween

So I am a little late on posting, but there is a good excuse. I've been busy!!
We had a wonderful Halloween trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. Peyton LOVED it! She couldn't wait! She was a little butterfly and Thatcher was going to be a caterpillar but I didn't have my act together. So he just rolled along in his stroller. Here are some pictures of the evening.

Had to have lambies...we actually had to go back to the house to get them.

This makes me laugh...She has started saying "what the heck Daddy??"

She has the BIGGEST smile on her face

Pumpkin Patch

Last week we visited Washington Farms again to pick pumpkins and this time we brought my parents!! We had a greaaaaaaaaaaaaat time!  I asked Peyton many times throughout the week about what size pumpkin she was going to pick out and she continuously said "baby pumpkins." So thinking that she might change her mind when we got there I asked her again. And sure enough she still wanted baby pumpkins. And it turns out that she was very particular about the pumpkins she chose. She decided she wanted four baby pumpkins and then we asked her to pick out a medium pumpkin for Mommy and Daddy.
After the pumpkins my parents took her to do the fun activities that they offer for kids.
It is amazing and a little sad looking back at last years photos (Pumpkin Patch 2009) and realizing how fast she has grown.
Here are some pictures from the day!

PS. Paul is squatting...I'm not that big...and he is not that short!

Out Comes the Closet

So my house has always been a pretty organized place. I at least know where everything is supposed to be. Especially in closets. In the past two houses we have lived in I have been very blessed with great storage, ie. closets. However, in the house we are currently in, it is anything but.  So I had to get creative. Peyton's closet is the most creative. It houses my shoes, dresses, pey's clothes, and a great deal of randomness. Basically I can barely close the door.
So two weeks ago, Pey decides she is going to explore her closet. GREAT!! Luckily she only got into things that were hers. Her Birthday hat, never worn on her Birthday because I always seem to forget to take it out of the closet. A calculator from Mr. Bob. She loves playing with it but has become a little crazy with the spool of paper on the back. Puzzles, drums, beach balls, and more.
Here are pictures of her exploration.

 Mr. Bob...She needs your help!

My little Musician

Her daddy is preparing her for the future!

Our first family photo

So here is the first photo of the four of us! I was unaware that we didn't have one until Peyton's school asked for a family photo for their "family" lesson. And don't worry our camera is not broken again. It is actually taken from our friend Michael's phone who happens to have a certain app for taking photo's.

First Bath

Don't worry...this isn't current...I have given him a bath numerous times before he hit the 1 month mark...so don't call DFCS on me!

Here is little Thatcher taking a bath. Yes we have a baby bathtub but it is sooooooooooo big that the little guy fits better in a big bowl. We call it his little hot tub! He seems to like it a great deal!

Gooooooooooooo Dawgs!

We are ready here at the Reeves house for fall football. And to get us ready we had a GEORGIA DAY! Peyton was most spirited in her Georgia Bulldog cheerleader outfit!! Thank you Miss Lisa for the greaaaaaaaaaaaat outfit!

Gooooooooooooooooooooo Dawgs!!

Little Miss Tricksy!

So recently we had the whole camera malfunction. Which, in that happening, I learned a valuable lesson...NOT to let your 2 year old play with the camera. So we have been very careful with putting it where a certain little girl could not get to it.  So I thought....
So I went to download pictures the other day and noticed a few that I didn't take. Apparently when I was taking a shower the other day Peyton went and got her stool, brought it into our bedroom, put it next to the dresser, climbed on the stool, grabbed the camera, took some pictures, put the camera back, and brought the stool back to her room.
Low and behold...the evidence...

I did not flip this...it came that way!

Hungry Little Guy!

I thought this was funny!

1st Day of School

Peyton had her first day of preschool last week. She is growing up so fast! She now goes two days a week from 9-12 at Athens First United Methodist Church. She LOVES it! She has a good friend from church in her class and really likes her teacher too. Here are some photos from the day! (and yes...apparently my camera still had Peyton slime on the lens...so the pictures are a little fuzzy.)

M&M's

So one of Peyton's favorite things are M&M's. We have a mason jar filled with M&M's in Paul's studio and Peyton always goes in there, grabs the jar of M&M's and takes it to one of us holding up her little finger showing "1" and says "please".  Once we said "yes", she reaches in and only grabs a blue one...thus being her favorite color.

So the other night I was tucking her into bed and we were saying our prayers and the question I always ask her is "who do you want to thank God for?" And after going through her long list of family and friends and me always asking "who else" I switched it up and said "what else?...What do you thank God for?" and she said M&M's :) It made me smile. Realizing that we should be thankful for even the littlest things in life. So here's to M&M's and my little girl who made me realize that every little thing is a Blessing!
