Sometimes Awkward Happens

I have made a new discovery about myself.

I don't know how to pose for a picture in a group setting. It's just been recent, for some reason. It all started at Brittany's graduation. I was a little TOO into the picture:

Poor Olivia seriously had to move to get in the picture.

AWKWARD.

Now, keeping that picture in your mind...

We had a little get together to go see Breaking Dawn last week (LOVED!) and watched Eclipse before the movie at midnight. Well, we took pictures before we left and I had that picture flash back. I wanted to keep my distance as to not have another awkward picture!

 EPIC FAIL!

I am so far away that this could happen:

When I saw this picture, I couldn't help but laugh. Oh, sometimes awkward pictures happen.

Now, my goal is to find that "I'm in the picture, but not OF the picture" placement!



Longest Post Ever

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't been the best about keeping up with my blog! So, I decided to make some changes to the looks of things today and hit you with a HUGE picture-fest blog post. Just because if I don't, I will never get caught up. Which results in more procrastination on my part.

This past October was the start of a beautiful fall here in Tennessee. I have definitely missed these gorgeous colors. And I definitely enjoyed William's week long fall break!

We were able to go with Jeremy and Monica to Fall Creek Falls the weekend that Fall Break began. It was SO much fun hiking to see the falls. William and Lily did fantastic! Matthew and I didn't do too bad either! Matthew told me that I did better than he thought I would! Why, Thank you.

 Isabel, William, Lily, Breanna, and Serenity

October ended pretty well too! Halloween was fun, except that William was sick all the night before. It never fails that someone is sick around Halloween!

 So, William doesn't look like that because he's not excited about trick-or-treating, he's just sick. Lily looks like that because she's SO excited to trick-or-treat.

I was pretty proud of myself because I made their costumes. The first time I ever made anything with a legit pattern. It was a learning experience and I think they turned out great! William is Luigi and Lily is Princess Peach. She only wore her crown (that took me the like 2 hours to make!) for pictures at home.

 Then we were able to go to John and Krystin's neighborhood to Trick-or-Treat with the cousins. William was embarrassed about his mustache, so he decided to take it off, but not before Matthew tried to talk him into keeping it on by putting one on himself.

And a wig.

So did John and Christopher.

 So far, November has not disappointed either! We started it off with a bang by going to see Wicked at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. It was incredible.

 Did I mention that we went in a limo? Because it was awesome and hilarious.

We also had our friend Jeni take our family pictures at Crockett Park in Brentwood. It was a lot of fun and we are SO pleased with the way they turned out. I have already put some of them on our header( do you like?) But, here are some of our other faves.

Maybe this wasn't the longest post ever. If it was, at least I warned you, right? I am going to try to be in a better blogging spirit and update more often to avoid from blog posts like this. No promises though!
