My Company does great things Right Here in Arlington

It's so encouraging when the company you work for isn't thinking only about themselves.

Or the money you make.

And it's not all about "making money".

Like any other breathing Human being these characteristics from anyone let alone a business, 

sounds like a load of, well for lack of a better word ...crap.

Each day when I see someone walking to work, 50 years old and working at the fast food window, or just someone in a bad situation trying their hardest to earn a buck, I just want to run up to them and say "I can change your life! Come work with me!!!!" 

But then I'm sure they'd think I was on crack and never talk to me again. haha

But it's so true! (Not the crack part) 

But that this business is more of a way to help others change their lives. 

I don't think about the me here. I think about how can I change the world with this.

Not to mention we build bottle schools, we are apart of the pay it forward foundation, the big brother big sister program ...etc etc.

So anyway I thought it was pretty cool when I came across this article about Matt Morris. 

I had no idea he was from Arlington, Tx. 

But now I do, and since I live here Id like to share his story. 

Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

Dalton and I took Brynlee to her first Pumpkin Patch on Tuesday! (10/18/11)

We just so happened to be having a cold front this day also 

So it felt extra fall-ish and we weren't sweaty hanging out outside all day, which was nice

She loved it, We loved it= Success 

Peaking through the pumpkin hole with Daddy

This reminds me of Jason Aldean's song "Big Green Tractor"
So cute!

Brynlee playing with other kids

Our daughter is not shy by any means.

She saw a few kids on this red train playing, she wanted on and she got on 

It was a school on a trip to the pumpkin patch 

I'm sure Brynlee is in a few of their pictures haha 

She hung out with them for a few minutes until I got Daddy to pull her off when it was getting to max capacity 

But even the kids were just chatting it up with her! 

This is not ok. I'm only 5'1...

Dady playing with Brynlee in the hayride line

On the hayride!
Don't mind the dirty knees, it was muddy out there, and she fell
....a few times

 This was Dalton's favorite part of the whole trip

Her first time in the bounce house!

So I was not up to this at first because the other kids make me nervous

Lets face it bounce houses make me nervous. 

Anywho so momma let loose and gave in because she really wanted to get in it

AND

She loved it! 

The falling, the kids making her fall because of their bouncing, her trying to bounce

It was great to just watch her

Trying to pull the wagon

 The wagon was actually really heavy and she was getting so frustrated that she couldn't pull it haha

It was a great trip. 

The Kettle corn is awesome too! 

We snacked on that while walking around till we hit up Mi Cocina's for lunch and then headed back home for nap time

Trip to the Dallas Arboretum

I just love to get Brynlee out and about.

Plus I'm partial to doing anything outside the house, I'm a go-er

Even if she doesn't quite get it yet 

There's nothing like a family day!

So since it's fall 

On Dalton's day off we took Brynlee to the Dallas Arboretum 

They were having Autumn in the Arboretum & Fairy Tale Castles

Perfect for our Princess

Cinderella's Pumpkin Village

 I was actually impressed with the Castles

They actually hung real props inside or around them

And placed small story book summaries outside each castle with facts I never knew about each princess

Cinderella's Magic Coach

Gorgeous!

Beauty & The Beast Castle

Rupunzel's Castle

Little Mermaid's throne

It was a good time!

I have a ton more picture, but  I thought this was enough to post 

Brynlee did love the running around

And boy did she nap good :-)

All things Pink and Brynlee

Everyday my love is given away in abundance to one precious little gift.

This little girl owns my heart. 

I'm truly zonked at the end of everyday

But. She it totally worth it. 

At 18 1/2 months she has grown so FAST. 

She's 33 in tall. (Literally half my height already) 

And 26 pounds. 

This girl was once in here...

Hard to imagine haha

But now she's a walking, talking, dancing, climbing, reading fool

Her vocabulary is as follows:                               Her sounds:

Mommy Mom Mama                                           Woof 

Daddy, Da da                                                       Baaaaaahh (sheep)

No                                                                        Tweet 

Yes, Yep, Yeah                                                    Neeehhhh (Horse, don't know how to type that sound lol)

And maybe others... Its hard to keep track. 

She definitely keeps me on my toes. 

And I pray all the time that God will help me raise her up to what He has amounted her to be

I know we have more years to come some fun and some tough

But I can't wait to just watch her become who she was meant to be

Romantic!!

Such a fairy tale feel

For some reason I love this picture because it reminds me of The Beatles...
Im not quite sure why haha

Although I knew it was coming I'm pretty sure my heart was racing when I saw him grab the ring
And I prob would have teared up more if I wasn't trying to focus on taking pictures 

Congrats you guys!!! I hope you love all 200 something of your edited pictures! I tried my best! 

I 'm so glad I got to be apart of a special moment in time 

And good luck to you on your wedding planning and day!
