18 month old cutie!

All I can say is I love this girl...she makes my days. One of my fellow CF momma's (Sarah) said it so beautifully ~ "Every hope, dream, and ounce of love in my heart somehow manages to fit in that little spunky body." ♥

Fall Friday

No flashback today...and no picture even. It's a gorgeous fall day here so Reese and I are going out to take advantage of it! From the looks of the forecast, this may be the last nice fall day we see for awhile...soooooo see ya! We're going OUTSIDE! Happy Friday!

JUST TOO CUTE!

This video just cracks me up...literally makes me belly laugh. Kevin shot this of Reese while she was "talking" on the phone. Keep in mind Kevin absolutely HATES it when the rest of my family and I "yawn talk." And we all do it...poor guy. While our darling daughter may look like her father, she definitely picked up her mad "yawn talking" skills from me. Too cute!!!

Flashback Friday

I missed my "Wordless Wednesday" post so I'm going to shake it up a bit with a "Flashback Friday". Here's a flashback from 1 year ago....awww.

THE VEST

Aaah, the vest...the vest...the long awaited vest. I know I am an emotional person, so I kind of suspected I would maybe feel a little emotional over Reese getting the vest, even though it has been something we have been soooooo looking forward to. The vest came on Tuesday, but today is the first day she used it as we had to wait for a RT to help us set it up. It's hard to even put into words. The vest is just so much more than a vest...it represents everything about CF. I KNOW it will make our lives a whole lot easier, but honestly, it just made me sad thinking that this will be a part of her life forever now. She will have to do this every single day (that is if she isn't rebellious :)) for the rest of her life. And it's just not natural...to see her little body shaking like that just made my heart hurt...knowing WHY she is doing this and the reason she HAS to do it. However, that being said, THIS is OUR normal so we are just so GRATEFUL for such an invention to help keep our Miss Reese healthy and have a good quality of life!!!

Reese really did so well with her new vest!!! This morning when the RT was here, she cried some just because she didn't know what the heck was happening. After about a minute into the treatment, she started to get used to it and did well the rest of the 30 minutes. Tonight when I went to get the vest out, she said, "no, no no" but then did fine once she got it on and started shaking. She even sat in her own little chair for the last half of it. I think the hardest part is going to be getting her to sit STILL for 30 minutes 2x/a day. We're definitely going to beef up our DVD collection!!! :)

Now being the scrapbooker that I am, I just need to get some fun embellishments to jazz up her machine that her vest hooks up to. Maybe some blingy bling!!!! Every girl needs a little bling, right?!?

Reese, you rock. Every day you make us so proud of you. You are our hero and the Lord has blessed you with an incredibly strong and beautiful spirit. I am so thankful to be your mommy and love watching and being a part of every new milestone you reach. I love you, love you, love you sweet darling! Kisses, Mommy

Wordless Wednesday

Lil' Pumpkins

Here are a few pictures of our recent trip to the Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch with our friends Tami and Taylor! The girls were a bit too little to get involved with all of the activites but the Harvest Fest atmosphere, some yummy food, a place to run, and a few good pictures were all we needed. This trip will for sure be an annual fall event! Happy fall to all!


Reese lovin' the pumpkins


I think Taylor's first trip to the Apple Orchard was a success


Aahhhh, the fall fun is abounding

My little pumpkin :)


Woah, this is heavy!
