Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Even though Halloween is not until tomorrow, we've had the best time wearing costumes. C has literally worn her costume every day and she has her neigh down, her pony dance down and can shake her tail, while she is always careful not to sit on her pink bow on the tail. T is the cutest little cow and does a sweet version of his "moooo." He's not a fan of his cow head, but thats ok. Happy Halloween!

Matching PJ's

We love, love having company in town. I couldnt resist the chance to purchase matching pj's for the girls so they could have a little slumber party Friday and Saturday night. And they were too cute when they picked out bows from C's bow ribbon to wear in their hair. I mean doesnt everyone sleep in a hair bow?

Pied Piper and Her Horses

C has been going out with her Papa to ride horses every week. Her personal favorite is Dixie so we jumped at the chance to join her one Sunday for a lazy afternoon at the Plantation. She reminded me of the pied piper with the horses. 

Going to get the horses

 learning about fire ants...and how to move out of the way quickly.

 having a great day.

T loves a pretty flower. He will make a lady happy one day.

Master Tractor Driver

Up,Down,Up,Down. C became the master John Deer Tractor Driver this week. We are gutting the backyard and have gotten more use out of the John Deer for child entertainment than we ever dreamed. The backyard is being gutted and once its finished is going to be an entertaining paradise, well maybe not paradise since we won't be in the Seychelles Islands, but it will be close.

Crisp cool air, clear blue skies and countless pumpkins tell us all that Fall is in the Air. Our little pumpkins are growing up fast, but are ready for the Halloween season. We kicked it off with searching for the great pumpkin at the pumpkin patch.

 T found his perfect pumpkin.

 And C pounced on "her" pumpkin.

Finger lickin' good

The last days of summer are here so we've been grilling out every night. Really, I dont think we can ever get tired of the grill. Especially Cory's good ol' charcoal grill. He sure does know how to make the perfect chicken. Well this time we decided to try something new "Beer Can" chicken, and are proud to report it turned out finger lickin' good. Thankfully Papa Michael was here to help and the Food Network with their recipe...

Tucker is 16 months old

 At 16 months he moves at full speed and is always up for exploring something new.

 Just like his big sister {and mom} he is a huge fan of arts & crafts, especially painting and play dough.

 And of course he is king of the castle.

Flash back to 16 months ago, when he was only hours old and we introduced him to his big sister and wonderful family. He is blessed to be loved by so many people.

Sweet little Tucker is 16 months old. It seems like just yesterday that we were holding him as a newborn and introducing him to his big sister Caroline. I never dreamed that having a little boy would be so much fun.
