It was a Beautiful day today! I had some dresses left over from the craft fair that I needed to take pictures of to list them on Etsy and Ave was in a cooperative mood, so we had a little photo shoot. The last dress is my favorite! So I guess I’ll actually keep one for her finally. =)
We skipped Arkadelphia this year and headed to the big town of New Hope to go trick or treating with Seth, the rodeo clown. She was going to be the cutest spider ever! but then she saw princess costumes at wal mart and decided that she could be nothing else but a princess. I’ve had a bridesmaid dress hanging in the closet forever thinking that i might be able to get some of my $395 back by selling it, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. sooo, i started cutting and sewing and it turned out to be a pretty cute princess costume. Marley Jane got one too =) Here are a few pictures. I would post more, but Avery is seriously sitting in the middle of the floor consuming mass amounts of chocolate. and we’re probably about to get in a fight. because I’m going to take it away from her. (and I will probably eat it later. muahhahhhh <---that’s my evil laugh)
Poor Sam…
I realize my last post was super sad and then I didn’t post anything for a week, but everytime I started to, I saw on the side where it says “recently posted” and “My Ella” just kept jumping out at me and I would get depressed all over again. Man I miss that dog!! =(
K, I’ll stop.
Every year around my birthday (which is tomorrow, for all of those who are sending gifts. ahem.) we always take a little day trip to Queen Wilhelmina to look at the trees and have lunch. It’s always so gorgeous and this year didn’t disappoint. God has an amazing paintbrush!
Kane and Grant climbing down the tower.
Yes, that’s my ave climbing up with Sarah and Seth. because I was too chicken.

I’m glad I could get a shot of everyone looking at the camera…
Emma PaPaw and Ave
Soooo excited about riding the train!
Did I mention that the it was a “haunted” train ride? poor baby.
I was trying to get the same picture I got of her LAST YEAR in the same spot, but she wouldn’t stand up. I think this one will suffice
And then we stopped by a “zoo” at the bottom of the mountain. Deliverance. That’s all I’m sayin’. (insert banjo music here)
Anyone that knows me, knows how much this girl means to me. She really was more than “just a dog” She was there for me more times than I count. And although she was a little mischievous at times and may have eaten an entire couch one time, she was always my sweet Ella. She got hit by a car today and didn’t make it. needless to say I am devastated. I know it’ll get it better, but it just really sucks right now and I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow when I wake up and she’s not going to be there shaking her booty and picking up anything she can get her mouth on to give to me cause she’s so happy to see me. I miss her soooo much already!
