Grandma/grandpa love!

I know I have been a bad blogger lately. But while I enjoyed my little bloggy break, I am officially back! Vivi enjoyed some one on one time with my amazing parents! Enjoy the pics!

Me with my cutie pie "Chef Violetta" as she calls herself! We had fun making some yummy pumpkin cupcakes for Thanksgiving. (and yes I am keeping it real with no makeup on, YIKES!)This year I worked Thanksgiving, but Vi and Ev spent their day with family in Weatherford. Ev and I went on a dinner date tonight and did our Christmas shopping. I am happy to report that we only have two gifts left to get, whew! I hope that everyone reading this had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving with loved ones!! XOXO Meg.

Gobble gobble!

Wordless Wednesday

Potty Time!

Today is a big day for Violet!! She just went potty for the first time!! Our little one is growing up SO fast!

Followers Fest!

Yay for bloggy followers fest!! Click on the link to read an awesome blog that I love! I am Megan, Christ follower, wife to Evan, mommy to my precious 2 year old Violet. I work full time in a pediatric ER as a Child Life Specialist. My job gives me the daily opportunity to realize how precious the lives of our children are. I see things that seems so awful and big, and in the midst of it all I see that God is ALWAYS greater than the sadness!! I am really a "50's housewife" at heart, and I love to bake and be a mommy. I love working with kids, but if I had it my way, I would be a stay at home mommy with a bakery business. I am trying to be content with where God has placed me in this season of my life. Trying is really the key word here peeps. I fail on a daily basis, but I am constantly reminded of God's grace. I love owls, baking, red lipstick, pretty toes, the smell of my kiddo fresh from the bath, any and all things vintage, music,Chanel, Target, trying to live a natural lifestyle and so much more...I am hoping to make some new bloggy friends soon! I hope to have a blog makeover soon too! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy pics of my little love from Halloween!

Oops, here are the pics

Halloween Fun!

We spent the evening at Nini and Brandons house, and had so much fun! Violet was all about passing out candy to the tons of kids and seeing all the fun costumes of all the trick-or-treaters! Thanks for inviting us and for all the yummy food! My camera is now MIA, unfortunately I think I maybe left it at the zoo. So for now, my I-phone is the only camera I have. So, here are some pics of our night...

Happy "Owloween"

Happy birthday Kael!! We love you so much!

Finally Fall!

Yay! We are finally having cool weather here, and it is actually beginning to feel like October. Vi has needed long sleeves and hoodies this week! This is my favorite time of year. I love fall decorations and can never seem to get enough pumpkin anything. We are headed to storytime and the park! Hope you have a happy Friday!

Cheese

This is the face I get when I tell Violet to "say cheese." She gets it,huh?

Fun at the Zoo!

We recently got a zoo membership! Evan has taken Violet a few times when I have been working, and she is loving it! I took her yesterday and she kept telling me "I walk the WHOLE time." So, needless to say, we left the stroller in the car, and she was super sleepy by the time we got home!

Checking out the monkeys.

Riding the train, definitely the highlight of our trip!

Attempt at a mommy/daughter pic. A little hard when your daughter is a wiggle worm!
