Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time today at the Nichols Boyd Pumpkin Patch in Brandon!  It was Sophie and Andrew’s 1st time to go.  Everyone enjoyed it!

We rode on a hayride pulled by an old tractor. 

Brandon loved petting the baby goat. 

Sarah Beth was so brave petting the big cow!

Andrew picked out the perfect pumpkin and then tried to take a big bite!

The girls were so sweet helping each other pick out a pumpkin.

After picking out a pumpkin the girls enjoyed swinging and Andrew enjoyed playing in the corn!

 

We had to clap really loud so that the tractor would crank!

A Birthday Fit for a Princess!

My baby girl turned 3 years old today!  Sophie came into this world a little over a month earlier than “planned”!  I will never forget that day.  I had not been feeling well that week.  We were off school that week and Mom and I had planned on going to the Canton Flea Market after my regular scheduled Dr. appt.  Little did we know that I would be having a sweet baby instead.  Syd and Sarah Beth rushed to Jackson to be with me.  Sophie was born about 1:30 weighing in at 6 lbs 2 oz.  She stayed in the NICU for 2 nights.  She is a strong little girl!  Sophie is so sweet and caring.  She is quiet and shy.  She is our little “hurricane” b/c she can make a mess in 2 seconds flat!  We love you Sophie!!

We have had a blast celebrating Sophie’s birthday this weekend.  We had her party on Saturday morning at Fit Zone.  It was so much fun.  They had organized activities and I did not have to do anything but enjoy watching Sophie!

After her party we went to lunch at El Sombrero but she didn’t want to wear the BIG hat and have them sing to her. 

Today we took the kids to the fair as part of Sophie’s birthday celebration.  They had a blast looking at the livestock and riding rides.  We ate chicken on a stick and enjoyed a LARGE elephant ear!

Happy Birthday my Sophie Girl!

Weekend Wrap Up

I have been enjoying this beautiful fall weather so much!  We took full advantage of it this past weekend.  Sarah Beth had soccer Saturday morning, then we headed downtown for the Fall Festival/Flea Market.  After that we decided to do a little birthday shopping for Sophie at the Outlet Mall. 

Future Soccer Star “Brandon”!

This boy loves to be outdoors!  He loves eating “puffs” while he watches Sissy play soccer.

Andrew had a little too much fun at the Flea Market…sound asleep!

Before church I took a few shots of the kiddos.  SB & A love to get their picture taken but Sophie could care less!

 

I LOVE this picture below!  He loves to scream…he is a one loud boy!

Lately, MeMe has been cooking Sunday lunch for us.  It is so nice to get together with the family on Sunday’s after church.  Scott is showing Scott the spinning top.  He absolutely loved this toy!  We also got to see Syd’s cousin Abby and meet her new fiance! 

What a Week!

We started off the week with SB having dental surgery on Monday.  Poor thing had to have a tooth extracted and several crowns.  She had to be at Woman’s Hospital bright and early at 7 a.m.  We love that hospital…that is where all 3 of my babies were born.  They take such great care of us!  SB was such a good patient.  She felt so bad in the picture above but she really wanted her picture made in the wheel chair! After the drive home from Jackson she was back to her  normal self.  Kids bounce back so quick!

 

The middle of the week was busy with work, dance and St. Al Homecoming.  I forgot to take my camera to the parade and pep rally…oops! 

I ended the week today with 2 sick babies. Sophie woke up early with a stomach bug which woke up the entire house.  Andrew also had a low grade temp.  So I kept them home with me.

I took Andrew to the Dr. for his 9 month check-up (I also wanted to make sure he didn’t have an ear infection and he did not!)  He weighs 19 lbs 12 oz.  and is 27 1/4 in. long.  He is finally sitting up great by himself and has started to “scoot” everywhere.  I can barely keep him on his pallet anymore.  This makes me sad…my baby is growing up way too fast!! He eats anything we put in his mouth including OATMEAL cookies!  He got to taste one of those the when SB was having her surgery. 

Well…that is all for now.  I hope everyone else in the house stays free of the stomach bug so we can enjoy this beautiful weather this weekend!

SB was waiting to go back to surgery while Andrew napped.

This picture was not taken today but this is what these 2 did most of today…got snuggles from Momma!
