Mini Family Reunion/Halloween

This year my family decided to get together with my dad’s brother & his family for a mini Riley Family Reunion. Just to visit & enjoy each other’s company for a whole weekend. It’s so hard to get all of us together anytime besides Thanksgiving or Christmas so it was nice to have some laid back time together. We all met & stayed at some cabins out at Chickasaw State Park. It was the perfect time of year to be out there. The trees were absolutely beautiful! I know there is a lot of pictures, but this is narrowed down a lot! Haha

Getting ready to leave Friday morning, making Halloween cookies. Riley helped himself to a couple. :0)

Stroller Giveaway

Dee at Two of a Kind, Working on a Full House is giving away a Kolcraft Tandem Stroller! This is the exact stroller I have been eying for a while now. I want one sooo bad! Wouldn't it be just perfect for 2 little ones?! You can also check out Kolcraft for some other great things.


Wish me luck! ;0)

State vs Florida

Last weekend TAG & I went to the Mississippi State/Florida game. It was my first & probably only game of the season, although the hubs has been to several. It was a fun trip, but we had just gotten the scary news the day before so I didn’t enjoy myself as much as I could’ve. Oh well, still a fun day & all turned out well…except for the fact that State didn’t pull through. Or my Vols on that day (the big Alabama heartbreak).
