Here's Mason's Halloween costume--I hope he fits in it by Halloween! I ordered it online and it arrived yesterday. It's way too big for him right now, but we've got 2 more months for him to grow into it. I need to find him a banana as a prop!

Monkey Boy
growing so fast!
Look how much Mason has grown! Top pic is just a few weeks ago! He weighs about 11 lbs now. He's cooing and smiling at us and is very responsive. He's too cute!

Women Building Better Communities
Look! I do have a life outside of home! (just barely) I took this at our (me and Christy's) Advisor Social at Johnny Carino's. It was fun and great to get out of the house and have adult talk! Interested in learning more about Junior League? Here's our NW Arkansas League's website: http://www.juniorleaguenwa.org/
And AJLI's site: (Assoc. of Junior Leagues International) http://www.ajli.org/
I love being a member of the Junior League. It's very fulfilling and a great way to meet new people--a very successful, inspiring group of ladies in my community! This is my 4th year. (3rd active) I get more excited about it each year as I learn more about the league, the needs of my community and just general skills such as conducting business meetings, the structure of committees, bylaws and policies, and fun stuff like socials and icebreakers. Well, that turned into an ad for the Junior League!
Start Saving Now for College
Being a Mommy...
There's a company called Upromise that saves money for your child for college when you go through thier search engine to purchase stuff online. You can also set up local grocery store cards, etc. and everytime you buy stuff they contribute a certain percentage to your college fund. Too bad our local stores don't have grocery cards--it's mainly big city stores like Kroger and Whole Foods, etc. But it's a good idea if you shop online like we do.
R.I.P. Gardenia
This beautiful gardenia that my brother-in-law and his girlfriend (now fiancee!!) gave us at the hospital...
...is now DEAD!!!
They got it so it would bloom each year and grow with Mason--how thoughtful! However, we put it in the sunroom and it was too hot :( Wayne brought it back from the brink of death once but then it went ahead and went to plant heaven. I can't keep any plant alive--that's why you see fake plants at my house. I'll have to take a pic and post of how pathetic it looks now--it really is sad --and yet kinda funny to look at. I even looked for one at Wal-Mart to try to replace it but had no luck. The worst part...they don't know we killed it. (yet)

9 MONTHS!!!
Here I am in the nursery--it's ready to go, we just need the baby! I had professional maternity photos taken around this same time--just a few days before my due date!
Fire! Fire!
This is our fire pit that we bought early this summer. We bought it at Lowe's. We roasted marshmallows and made smores for dessert for family night at our house. It was nice sitting around it talking--although a little on the warm side! This fall it'll be nice when it's a little brisk outside.
Showered at Work
My work threw this baby shower for 3 of us that were pregnant. (My 4th shower!!!) They do that every few months or so--there's always several employees that are pregnant--it's in the water. (well it IS a women's hospital!) The cake was too cute! My friend's cousin made it--she has a cake business. I plan on using her for any cakes I need in the future. She does awesome work. The other girls in the pic are on thier 4th and 5th kids!! Holy moly--count me out on that!
Baby Shower
My baby shower in May--lots of friends attended and I got tons of much-needed baby stuff! My car was full! Ang and Tori were hostess' and they did a great job. Thanks everyone!
