Some Randoms....

This was taken at Hayden's 4th birthday party at the children's museum in Gadsden. That place is awesome! This is just one of the stations set up for kids to pretend....a vet's office, complete with kennels of puppies & kittens that the kids can "treat". Here, Haleigh & Rylie are giving shots to this poor unsuspecting bulldog, over & over!

Yes, that is indeed my child eating the cake with her face! She wastes no time with petty utensils or even her hands....this girl knows how to party!

This is Rylie at Carter's 2nd birthday party...note the look on her face! She kept watching him eat...it was cute! (Also, check out her shirt...I made it! I have been into projects lately & this one was fun & easy:)

I was not even kidding when I said she has a mild obsession with Charlotte's Web right now! Here, she is watching the cartoon while sitting with "Wilbur" & "Templeton". We bought these for her birthday party, which will be themed...you guessed it....Charlotte's Web! She got so excited when she saw these & people thought I was a wierdo for buying her a stuffed rat I am sure!

Family Pumpkin Carve!

We had a family pumpkin carve night...1st Annual! First, we chose a design for our pumpkin & carved it, while eating chili & watching "The Great Pumpkin". (Stewart made fun of me for checking this out at the library, since it comes on TV every year! But what would a family pumpkin carving night be without watching The Great Pumpkin?) Then, Rylie & I made some decorations for the front door & we finished off the evening with a batch of orange sugar cookies that looked like jack-o-lanterns with all different facial expressions! Rylie loved the finished product so much, she kissed it! (See above picture:)

Of course we chose the spider web, since Rylie is into all things "Charlotte's Web" these days!

Here are the cut-outs we made for the front door.....Rylie kept ripping the eyes off the pumpkin for some reason....

Enjoying a pumpkin cookie!

Showing Daddy how it's done!

Trying on her pig mask that she got at Hayden's birthday party! (Once again, a throw back to "Wilbur" from Charlotte's Web"....I am telling you she loves it!

Cleaning out the slimy pumpkin guts!!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

This is our 2nd Annual trip to Tate Farms.....we had so much fun! This year we went with the Wilsons, and Kaylen & Rylie had a blast!

Our little sunflower:)

Rylie and Kaylen, oh-so-carefully picking only the best pumpkins. Rylie's litmus test....to sit on the pumpkin & make sure it was the right one! She actually sat on one that was rotten & fell right through! She said "that one is broken".

This little guy was a favorite to both girls!

How about this one?

Yep....seems just right!

Carefully inspecting.....

The hayride to the pumpkin patch was lots of fun!

Dawn & I decided to get in the corn pit with the kids! I can see why they love it so much....it was the highlight of their trip!

They could have stayed here all day! Let me just say.....corn pit + overalls.....needless to say, we brought home quite a bit of corn as an unexpected souvenir! Even after I thought most of it fell out, I still had it in the washing machine & the lint filter of the dryer! It was soooo worth it, though! Too cute! (Thanks, BB for the CUTE overalls!)

Little farmer!

"I picked you a flow-der! Wanna hold it?" ( She loves to ask you if you want to hold something these days, from a baby doll to a flower, whatever it may be! Always say yes....I think she considers it impolite to turn this request down!You just hold it for a minute & then give it right back...pretty funny.)

Getting so big!

Pumpkins for days!!
