It has been a while...

I know I haven't posted in a while! This has been a busy past few months. Let me try to catch you up as quickly as possible. First, Lyla turned 2! Can you believe she is already two years old? She is growing up so fast. We had a great time with family and friends with a party at our local park. We had a pink ladybug party.


In November, we enjoyed Thanksgiving with our families. We first traveled to Brantley for lunch and then to Abbeville for dinner. We are so thankful for such loving and caring families.

























Also in the meantime, the Leeds Greenwave football team continued to do very well week after week. They did so well; they made it to the 3A Championship game at Legion Field. They won! They beat Cordova to win the state title! Roll, Greenwave, Roll!!

It's a...

GIRL!
We went for our 20 week doctor's appointment today. Today was the big ultrasound checking the baby's growth and size. Everything is normal and perfect! We were able to find out that we are expecting another girl. Lyla will have a sister! The baby put on a show for us. At first she crossed her ankles. Then she waved and yawned for us! She was too cute! I will try to post an ultrasound picture soon.

BOO at the ZOO

Sunday evening our Sunday school class took all of the kids to BOO at the ZOO. We had so much fun. Lyla was able to wear her Halloween costume...she is a fairy. She got to ride the train or "choo choo" as she calls it, and she got to ride the carousel. Her most favorite part was getting candy. She couldn't believe they would just give her candy. Let me tell you...she wouldn't share that candy bag with anyone! :)

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we were off! Lyla had to find the perfect pumpkin. We took her to Old Baker's Farm in Harpersville. We all had such a great time! Our friends the Freeman's went with us with their two boys and Lyla's grandmother and granddaddy joined us too! It was the first time to pumpkin patch for all of us. There were animals and a hayride that took us to a very muddy pumpkin patch. Of course Lyla wanted to pick up the largest pumpkins! When she realized they were too heavy she finally settled on one "just her size"!

Washing with Daddy

Lyla loves to clean! Imagine that! She will wash and wipe off whatever is in her way. One of her favorite things to help do is wash the car. Last Saturday she helped her daddy wash his truck. She loved every minute and by the end she was soaking wet! She didn't care though. It was tough getting her inside to change her clothes!

Leeds Homecoming Game

Lyla loves football games! Every Friday night she loves to go...her favorite part is the band. When the band stops playing, she says, "More!" Another favorite is seeing her friends at the game. Friday night was Leeds homecoming. We won! Go Greenwave! Here are a few pictures from the game last Friday. Lyla and I had matching shirts! :) You'll also see Lyla with her buddy Chance.

Football Season has arrived!

Football season is a crazy time at the Carlisle house! Between high school and college football...it takes up our whole weekend. We are a divided household with Lyla stuck in the middle. Ashley roots for Auburn and I pull for the Tide. One Saturday Lyla wears Alabama attire and the other one she wears Auburn. For this first Saturday, Ashley won out...Lyla dressed for Auburn. We had a fun night at our friend's house (The Spains). I was out-numbered! Everyone there except for me went for Auburn. We had a great time anyway and the kids looked absolutely adorable even though they were sporting the "wrong" colors!
