Big Bad Wolf!

Here are a few more pictures I took of the wolf yesterday.  

This one cracks me up!  She took her hat off at least a hundred times!

And she did not like that I kept putting it right back on!

I took a ton of pictures of the girls together, but this is the only one I put on my computer so far.  Heather and I had quite the time trying to get both of them in a picture together!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Sneak Peak!

Anna is going to be the big bad wolf for Halloween.  Poor girl.  :)

I ordered these for her from a friend I was in Ashley's wedding with.  She just started up a side business and is good!

I made a tutu to go along with it...don't want her to look too masculine.  Ha!  

Here is what it looked like at first:

And here we have the new and (hopefully) improved look I achieved by sewing about one hundred strips of ribbon on.  (Excuse the ketchup on the model's face.)

Now for the hard part...trying to get Anna Kate to keep all of her accessories on.  That will most likely be a battle.  Hope I win!  (at least for the pictures!)

P.S. I was correct in my assumption.  Anna Kate is two pounds lighter than Lydia was at her age.  Anna is 18 pounds, and Lydia was almost 20!  

P.P.S. Today is my half birthday...just in case you want to celebrate it! :)

9 Months!

Here's my 9 month old baby!

She's a cutie!

We get to go to the doctor today for her 9 month check-up.  

The only thing I like about going to the doctor is finding how much my babies weigh and how long they are.  It's fun to compare them.  I think Lydia was quite a bit bigger at 9 months, but we'll find out for sure today! :)

Puller-Upper!

Back on October 1st, Lydia and I went to get Anna Kate from her nap, and we found her standing up!

We were all so excited! :)

Lydia jumped in so she could be photographed too.

Lydia is getting so tall!!!

Now she is pulling up on everything!  Hasn't been too good for our sleep around here.  She hasn't quite figured out how to sit herself back down.

So proud of our sweet Anna Kate!

More Farm Fun!

I think Lydia's favorite part was playing in the corn with Ashley.  She loved filling and dumping her boots.

Here we are trying to figure out a digger thing...I don't think we should be construction workers. That's for sure!

Hay ride...with no hay.  Lydia was getting a bit worn out by this point.

Tried to get a good picture with the sunflower field.  That didn't go so well.

Tried again...no luck.  Ha!

After we had all the fun we could handle, we headed over to the Mayfield Visitor Center.

Lydia got to milk a cow.  :)

And we all enjoyed some delicious ice cream to end our fun adventure!

Mayfield Farm!

On Wednesday, Ashley and I decided to take the girls on a nice fall trip to the farm.  So we packed up and headed to the place our friendship began...good ol Athens, TN!

Mayfield Farm had 40 acres of fun set up for us to enjoy, and enjoy we did!

Lydia loved riding her own bike, even though she needed just a bit of help.

We went down a huge slide, which was thrilling!

There was a huge bouncy blob.

And then we went to check out our furry farm friends.

Lydia was not too thrilled.  She said she was a little shy of the animals.  Wonder where she got that?  

But, just for the record, I pretended to be brave and fed the goats some grass.  

Next up was a huge tractor tire swing!

Fun!

Check out this ear of corn made out of the classic Mayfield milk jugs.  The girls don't look too happy to be there.

The corn maze came next.  I'm pretty sure I could have easily gotten myself lost for quite some time, but Lydia found our way out after about three minutes (she just turned back around and we went out the entrance).  Ha!  She was pretty proud of herself!

That's all for today, but stayed tuned for the other half of our farm-filled adventures on Monday!
