Kind of a big deal...

Hey Friends! We've got some new news round these parts that is kind of a big deal and it's about time that it made it to the blogging world. Most of you probably know, due to the incredibly vast force of nature that is Facebook, but for those of you who don't... this one is for you!

Come May 9th, David and I will be happily welcoming a sweet little baby into our home and into our hearts. Baby Peaden is already loved by friends and family alike, and is going to be the most spoiled and most loved little child around. I wish that I could come up with a creative way to post about this big news on the blog - but I just haven't been able to come up with anything... so this will have to do! We used up all of our creativity on telling our family and close friends. 

We designed and printed these cards and sent them out through the good ole' USPS:

 It was a way fun and unique way to announce that we are having a baby. Perfect for us.

So there you have it! Our big news.. and we are SO thrilled!

Halloween

Halloween is by far one of my favorite holidays. This year - I was late decorating my house, didn't watch a single Halloween movie, and *gasp* didn't make cookies and take them to two people after being doorbell ditched to find a plate of cookies and a cute poem on my porch. (I know, I'm a bad person. I did hang the sign up by my door though. Does that make me even worse?)

However, amid all of our busyness and craziness - we were still able to make it to the annual Walker-Oliver pumpkin carving extravaganza, and let me tell you it was an extravaganza! There were more people in attendance than ever before - and the night was full of food, family, pumpkins, hide-and-seek in the dark, and Werewolf. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

Here are a few pictures that I stole from Melissa's facebook - because we didn't take a single picture of our own.

The whole gang.

My cute Melissa sister. She isn't really that much taller than me. I was sitting on a stool.

And... here we are. With our cute pumpkin. Thats a "P" for Peaden in case you didn't catch that. Several of the people there seemed for forget that our last name was Peaden... not Walker. Isn't it cute?

We also were able to go trick or treating with the Rencher family. I sure love my nieces and nephews! 

Happy Halloween!

Wednesday and a great opportunity!

Is it Wednesday again already? I suppose it is. For some reason - this morning feels much more like a Monday than anything else. Not that I haven't had to go to school for the last two days. It just feels like a Monday.

It may have something to do with the fact that I almost ran out of gas on the way to school today and then had to buy sewing supplies during my lunch break - resulting in me being 10 minutes late to my Clothing I class.

In happier news... I am going to attend this Photography workshop in a couple of weeks and I can't wait!  I'm totally hoping to find a friend who is willing to come with me. Do I have any takers? Mindy Black is the photographer who took our wedding photos and I absolutely adore her. Holly Hyde is an equally amazing photographer and I have been following her work for quite some time. Happy day! I was thrilled when I realized that I would be able to attend their workshop - so here is my plug... Come with me and lets have some fun! I love photography - and just think it's a great skill to have. Don't want to pay the money? Lucky for you, they are giving away one free entry to the workshop! Check out this link:

Seriously. If you are interested... let me know. I think it's going to be awesome!
