get ready for an OVERLOAD !!!! gotta keep up

this post goes from most recent to October :)  more to post later.. but least I got all but december in:) 

so sometime around thanksgiving and the first of December we had a little accident that involved us having to go to the dentist... let me start the story by saying that I was home and had laryngitis... I had to fight my tears and call Tim, to call our pediatrician, to get a rec. for a kiddy dentist.... yep Marrin chipped her bottom right front tooth... like in half.  I guess it could have been worse.  I don't have any pics on my camera for some reason. I do on my phone so I will have to find one and add it next post.  Needless to say she is fine and we will love her and hug her and call her chippy.  That same weekend, she hit her cheek on the side of a table and feel on her other cheek with a sippy cup, leaving a bruise.  I called my mom to see if Marrin could stay the night.  Distraught that she had been battered and bruised.  poor girl.

day after turkey day we went to the park... it was gorgeous !!

Mischievous Marrin and sleepy Lanier...

 Thanksgiving... I had to work 3-11 so I don't know that I have any pictures of them together in their matching outfits.   Daddy did go get us Gibson's though. Then we watched the parade !!

 We went to Lanier's school EUMK for a trunk or treat the night before Halloween and had some fun :)

On October 25th, we celebrated by having our sweet Marrin's Christening. It went alot smoother then the May Christening of Lanier 2 years ago, that consisted of 48 hours of tornado sirens ( literally ALL weekend long) even during our service. We have a family pic ( and its soo cute, but my sister in law has it. So here is what I managed.

Cousins !!!

gown was made of my mothers first communion dress. Myself, and all of my cousins have worn it, we all have our names on the slip and now Marrin and Emersyn have been added as well, thanks in part to my mom for embroidering their names on it !!!

Just some nighttime playtime. Who can resist a cute little diaper wedgie

& a cheesy smile like that !!!

or the look of  uhhh ohhh...

On October 15th... we got a nice little surprise ( ok not really a surprise but kinda, since we were trying).   I had decided to take a pregnancy test, cause I thought it would be cute, if it were positive, that we find out on Marrin's first birthday.  To my SURPRISE !!!! there was a faint line !!! YAY baby TREADWELL # 3.  We were so excited we just had to tell family that day when they came over for Marrin's birthday party.  My two brothers and my sister in law were here to celebrate the day so it was so obvious that we let the NEW OUT !!!

just being girls 

LONG OVERDUE

here is a brief look at our October... minus another update when I upload the camera AGAIN :)

 We we're VERY VERY fortunate enough to have family come in for Marrin's FIRST Birthday on the 15th.  Uncie Jason had never even met our sweet Marrin. They were getting ready for their own little baby and when they were to come in town... we got hit with that huge snow last winter. !!! So excited he could make it. Keily couldn't make it but we get to see her SOON !! Well I get to see her soon in SUN Valley !!!! Super excited to go to visit Jason and Keily and my sweet niece/nephew to be :) !!! ( still cooking though till early Feb. )

 Lanier was super excited to have Uncie around

 These two are a HOOT !!
