I thought I would update with a few pictures from our daily lives this past month - iphone blog update, once again!
A week or two ago, I was cooking dinner and the house was way too calm. I heard Rhodeso coming in the room, barking....I almost died when I saw her! She had colored her entire nose black and was pretending to be a dog!
Most nights lately, these two spend the night together. I love going in there after they are asleep (hopefully - I always get in trouble with Ryan if they are not fully asleep and I wake them up! :)) and checking on them and giving them a good night kiss. One night I found them curled up next to eachother, heads touching - it was precious!
Most Mondays and Wednesdays, Rhodes and I have what we call "Rhodesy/Mommy Days!". I wish I could take a picture of her face when I tell her on those mornings that today is that day! Two weeks ago, one of my dear friends from college, Kelly Merck, came in town for a quick trip and Rhodes and I were sooo excited to meet her and Mrs. Merck at Lenox for some wedding dress shopping. Rhodes may be able to hold her own with the boys, but she is a full blood girly girl at heart - she was beyond excited when we got there. She got sad at one point, once Kelly had tried on a few dresses, and asked when it was her turn to put her dress on and get married! It was so cute! The lady (and Kelly!!) was so sweet to let her join in and try on a dress and she was in Heaven! She fell asleep on our way home and when she woke up and saw Ali, I heard her whisper to Ali with excitement, "Ali, guess what! I got married today!" Precious.
And then later that week, she got to pretend to be a bridesmaid at Madeline's birthday party! This girl's got wedding on the brain these days! :)
Due to playing tennis, taking a nap, or other excuses, I have been lousy about going to/posting pictures of Ali's cheerleading this year! There were six games in all and I made it to three of them - and I was so proud of Ali! Ali really loves cheerleading and tumbling and she is really in her element when she is out there cheering! I was so proud of my little cheerleading and she was giddy with excitement to get her trophy at the end of the year party last week!
We (especially Ali) are very into crafts these days. If I don't have a craft planned, Ali tries to come up with one on her own to keep us busy during our down time together. On Friday, I found the idea on pinterest for a Thanksgiving tree and the girls ate it up. We cut out different colored leaves out of construction paper and Ali wrote different things we are thankful for on the different leaves....she could have done it for hours! Both of the girls were excited to go out (still in our pjs) and find sticks for our tree and loved decorating the tree with our thankful leaves. As I have said before, we have so much to be thankful for and I love seeing my girls (especially Ali) realize that and enjoy Thanksgiving!
This past Saturday marked another milestone for our family - Rhodesy's first UGA game!! I can't believe that she ended up going the same year that Ali went to hers - but, I have a feeling Rhodes will be her daddy's game buddy whenever he needs one - she was SO excited!! I've never seen her hop in the bathtub so fast or sit down to get her hair dried for long enough - just so she can get out the door to go cheer on the Dawgs! (and pull them to a victory!) The bad news was that Ryan decided to skip 316 and go one of our back ways and, unfortunately, there was a major accident that shut down the road and had them sitting still in traffic for 2 hours!!! (thank God for DVDs!) Their plan was to go to the first half (or as long as Rhodes could make it) and leave at halftime (so he could get back for our date night!)- but, they did not end up getting there until half time due to the traffic! Ryan went on and on about how perfect Rhodes was. She sat still, raised her hands in the air when she heard people cheering and when the 4th quarter started and loved looking for Uga, the football players and the cheerleaders! This will definitely not be her last game. Ryan said she never even asked to eat (which she hadn't done since breakfast!), go to the potty, or leave - and it wasn't until he decided it was time to go that they left. So impressed with our little future Dawg and so glad they enjoyed their daddy/daughter day! :) Ali and I had a fun day of shopping and, of course, doing crafts! :) Trying to take advantage of some one on one time these next few months, while we can still get it! :)

The one picture Ryan sent me from the game... :)
So...that's all the pictures I have for now! Phew! Relief to be somewhat caught up with the blog for now! :) I am excited to go back to the doctor on Tuesday for an update on baby Patrick #3! I will be sure to dedicate a blog just to him/her after that! With the craziness of Thanksgiving, a somewhat surprise trip to Disney World, Christmas decorating, Christmas shopping, Christmas decorating (and, of course, Christmas crafting for the girls!), and a possible home renovation/addition coming up soon (architect came today to measure/draw up plans - more info coming soon!) - life is about to get even crazier and this baby will be here before we know it! We can not wait to meet this little one! Hopefully lots more posts of our fun adventures to come soon! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hug your families and treasure these sweet moments we have together! Love, Jamie

Oh my gosh, there is WAY too much preciousness to comment on in this post, so I'm going to have to pick on and say---- Rhodes colored her nose black? And became a dog? How in the WORLD did she think of that? And what did you say??? :)
