Swamp People, Pumpkin Patch, Alabama, Halloween

So because I am crazy behind on the picture posting there are a TON of pictures to show you. It’s a LONG blog post.

We went to a meet and greet with Troy and Jacob from Swamp People. I LOVE this show and Reese enjoys watching them hunt alligators as well. We were the first ones in line to meet them and they were super nice and really friendly. While we were there the local ABC channel was filming new faces for their commercial and OUR girl Reese made the cut. She shrieks every time she sees herself on TV.

We went to the pumpkin patch twice, once with our friends from Stroller Strides and once with Ryan to get our pumpkins, and we did some pretty sweet carvings.

We went to Alabama for my cousin Christie’s wedding where Reese was the flower girl. Reese had a BLAST being the flower girl and told Ryan and I see wanted to get married at the same place and Brynnie could be her flower girl and Maddax (my cousin’s son) could be her ring barrier (as she calls it).

This week we had a bit of a rough morning when we found that our sweet cat Fatty had died. Fatty was born in our driveway shortly after we moved in and I adopted him as our own. It only took two years of me feeding him before he trusted me enough to let me pet him. After that he was in love, would rub up on my legs every time I was outside. He was there to greet me anytime I came home and if I went out at night he would sit in the front waiting for me to come home before he would curl up in the bushes to go to sleep. Fatty was buried in the yard in a spot where he would often sit to wait for me to come home.
