Pumpkin Patch & the BIG pumpkin

Zach has Monday's off we headed to Applejack's Pumpkin Patch in Augusta a couple of weeks ago! Ansley's still a little young for all the fun activities, but we still had a great time. We arrived at 2pm not knowing that they closed in an hour!Opps, but we still managed to get everything done!

Brandy bought this HUGE pumpkin for Macy's 6 months pics, so we decided to take some pics too! Thanks B!

Ok, Blurb book here I come! I'm starting from me being 9months pregnant til now!Wish me luck, only have 2 days left, so I can get 25% off!

Having issues with pics as you can tell!

TWINS!

Oh, no NOT me! Are you crazy?? I got a little taste of what having twins would be like and lets just say I'm happy with just a taste! Here are the princess' happy as ever!

Jaycie and Ansley 3 months apart!  Ansley 11months and Jaycie 8!

Jaycie came to spend a couple of hours with us a couple of weeks ago and the girls had a blast! They play great together, other than they both want to play with the same toys at the same time! Oh, and eat at the same time, but at this age they can both hold their own bottles, so I lucked out on that deal! I love Jaycie to pieces and she is such a good baby!

Notice she only has one sock on! lol. Thats thanks to Ansley. Ansley hates to wear sock and I guess she thought Jayice did too, so she helped her take them off! I think I put her socks on a dozen times that morning, just to have Ansley come rip them off!

Thanks Jaycie for coming to play, come back anytime!

Halloween pics!

Last week I had Ansley's pics taken by Kim Peri in her halloween costume! My mom made the shirt and bloomers, I made the tutu, Zach and his dad made her broom (which I forgot) and the leggings came from etsy! Alicia went with us to help with the outfit changes and for moral support. lol. We both left there thinking that Kim didn't get one good pic, thanks to Ansley not having it with her witch hat or tutu! I have to admit, there isn't one pic that I don't like! They are beautiful! Thanks Kim! :)  Click here and go to proofs. Password: ansley2010.  LOVE THEM!

Isn't this the........

CUTEST face you've ever seen!?! Yes, I know I'm bias, but can you blame me? :)

I'm loving this little princess to pieces! She has quite the personality these days and quite the attitude to go with it!! :) These were taken yesterday in the front yard, while riding her bike! Her feet finally can touch the ground and moves all over the cement by herself! She's getting so big and growing up way too fast! She loves to be outside and we sure are enjoying this weather.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is that day that I married my loving and wonderful husband 4 years ago! You're a great dad and husband! I hope you know that you mean everything to us!!

The WITCH is in!

I think that we have finally finished Ansley's halloween costume, and just in time for pics tomorrow! Zach and his dad made her a broom, my mom made her a shirt and bloomers, I fought making a tutu out of glitter tulle (remind me never to use glitter again) and thanks to my Aunt Brenda for the adorable idea for the witches hat!  I contacted Kim Peri over a month ago and tomorrow we are doing a mini session in Ansley's halloween costume! Can't wait! Here's a little sneak peek of her outfit! Next up, is the spook parade in a couple of weeks and I have no idea what Ansley is going to ride in or how to decorate it! 

The broom in the making

The Tutu

Thats it for now!

Island Park

Monday evening we headed to Island Park to play for a little bit and to feed the ducks! I believe this is the first time we have been to the park as a family!  I made dinner before we left and it was cooking while we were gone! Came home to a fixed dinner and a wonderful smell when we opened the garage! We swang, walked along the bridge (that daddy help build several years ago), went down the slides multiple times, rode the pony and of course fed the ducks and geese. It was a wonderful evening and I'm sure loving this weather. I actually went and bought Ansley some thick/warm jammies today! Its been pretty chilly in the house in the mornings!

This weekend Pumpkin Patch! Can't wait!!

Morning with Ava & Kane

A couple of weeks ago Ansley and I spent a couple of hours at Kristi's parent's house, watching Ava and Kane! The kids had a blast playing with each other! It needs to be more often, but we all live crazy lives these days and time slips away from us! Here are a few pics from our morning! :)

The best I could get with 3 kids under 2! :)

Thanks Ava & Kane for having us over, we need to do it more often!
