Pumpkin Carving!

My Pumpkin Patch Adventure!

We arrived and mom immediately pulled out her camera

 then I got to touch a pumpkin with dad

 mom made me pose for some pictures

 and Gerty and Granddad wanted one too

 mom made me laugh

 dad made me fly

 we searched for the perfect pumpkin

 making sure we found the perfect pumpkin

 dad cut my pumpkin for me (he said I could do it next year)

 so excited about my pumpkin

 petting my new friend

 I really loved the hayride

 I was not going to stop looking at that big tire on the tractor go round and round

 I wanted to play in the corn in the trough...so mom got in with me

 mom made corn fall from the sky

 dad put corn on moms head

 I loved the corn

 and I really wanted to put it in my mouth

 then I drove the tractor with dad

 and mom wanted a ride too

It was the perfect afternoon!

Lions and Tigers and Whales??? Oh My!

I am one tired mamma!  My sweet friend Cameran and I loaded up the SUV early Saturday morning and headed to Atlanta.  We had given ourselves two days to visit the Aquarium, the coke museum, and the zoo (and try to squeeze in a little college football!)  With two excited boys on board, we started out on our adventure.  It was so much fun getting to see these landmarks through the eyes of our children.  Braden was so full of questions!  It was so neat to watch him experience the animals that he has always read about in books right in front of his eyes.  Charlie looked at everything and took it all in.  It was definately an unforgettable trip with lifelong friends...or as Braden would say...his buddy Charlie! 

 Charlie could not take his eyes off all of the fish!

 I love how it captured our reflection in the glass!

Charlie's Baby Dedication!

Charlie was dedicated at church on Sunday, October 3.  He is so lucky to have such a wonderful support system that is constantly praying for him and loving him unconditionally!  We attended church at 9:45 and then we had lunch at Moore's Mill Club.  It was such a special day!  Thank you to everyone who came and spent the day with us!  It meant so much!
