Pumpkin Patch

Last week we went to Mitchell Farms in Collins. You can see last year's post here. We enjoyed the seeing the animals in the barn, corn pool, hay ride, playground, feeding the goats and picking out our pumpkins. It was an absolutely beautiful day to be outside!

Somebody would not look at the camera! She spent most of the day overwhelmed, taking it all in.

My little pumpkin! We brought home a pumpkin like the one she is holding. She has played with that thing ALL week.

"Too many to choose just one, I'll take two."

"Oo, this one too!"
Helping Pops push the wagon full of all our pumpkins.

Madison came with us too!

Keep checking back for Trick-or-Treat pictures!

Lang Family Reunion

Last month, we went to Simpson County for a family reunion on my mom's side (Lang family).

We really enjoyed getting to see lots of family and even some friends afterwards. Most importantly, this was the day we told most of our family about baby #2. We met my parents before going to the reunion so we could tell them the news before the entire family. They brought along Madison, Michelle, and Brookley. Here's how we were greeted~

Audrey Claire loves her "Addison".

After the reunion, we headed back to the D'Lo Water Park. Now, when most people hear "water park" they think water slides, pools, etc. Not this water park. It's a park located by the Strong River. Here's my favorite part about the place:

Family portrait time. Somebody was a little sleepy/overwhelmed!

"Coloring" on the big rock with little rocks~

Playing on the playground is also a must!

My monkey on the monkey bars...

Peek-a-boo!

When we go to or through Simpson County, we always try to stop by my friend Whitney's house. I was really excited to see them this time to tell them our news and play with baby Charlye. Audrey Claire really enjoyed playing with her. She was such a big girl and helped me feed Charlye.

Determined to get Charlye to look at the camera. Such a good helper:)

Making Our Comeback

Hey! Remember me? I know it's been forever but I am finally starting to feel somewhat normal again and ready to start posting again. So I guess I should start by explaining the last post:) We found out August 22nd that we were expecting baby number two! We are very excited, anxious, nervous and everything else that goes along with having a new baby (and a 2 yr old). Our due date is April 24, 2011 which is Easter Sunday.

I also started teaching preschool in August. When you combine that, morning sickness that can hit at any moment of the day, and a 21 month old, it can lead to some serious exhaustion! But like I said, I am slowly but surely making progress. I have a couple of things from the past two months that I want to post about and I am going to start with the most recent and backtrack.

Earlier this week, Seth had to go to the Baptist building in Jackson for school stuff. Audrey Claire and I were out of school for fall break so we loaded up the car and made a trip out of it. We spent Monday night at Mawmaw June's house. Tuesday morning, Seth's Uncle David came over for lunch and Audrey Claire fell in love with him! She stood by him like this for at least five minutes. She was so relaxed, I really thought she was going to sleep. I know he was loving it too!

AC really enjoyed spending time with Mawmaw and showing off her new tricks. I think AC could've stayed there a few more days to play with Mawmaw and Georgie (Mawmaw's dog).

While headed to Jackson Monday, I remembered the MS State Fair was in town. In an attempt to relive my childhood memories, I decided to take AC there Tuesday morning. ReRe and Pops met us there.

It took her a while to warm up at the children's livestock area. She really isn't a fan of animals but more than that, I think she was really overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds. This is how she looked at most of the animals to begin with...

We finally got a smile!

She got the most excited about the baby chicks.

That could have something to do with the fact that someone came over and let us hold one.

She went back over the to chicks after we walked away and said "Hold" so they got one out for her again.

Here we are "milking" the cow

Cheese!

Riding the pony! I couldn't believe she got on it! But notice the excitement on her face compared to mine. I was definitely more excited than she was. At least she wasn't screaming.

Petting zoo time!

Ok. So being pregnant, I totally understand weird cravings and such but this blew me away~

Only my child gets more excited about cars than live animals! She ran all over this area.

And did a little dance too:)

Hope you've enjoyed some of the 100 pictures I took that day:) And I promise to do a better job at posting now. Well, at least until April:)

Terrific Thursday

Wordless Wednesday (Almost)

Don't know where she gets the pouting from:)

Happy Birthday Owen!

This weekend we helped Owen celebrate his 1st birthday. I can't believe he is already one! Here is the cute birthday boy in the pool~

Audrey Claire enjoyed having a girl to play with! Owen's cousin Harper came to celebrate too.

The cute birthday boy eating his cake. Yummy!

Audrey Claire couldn't wait to get her hands on cake too. She kept saying "cream" while Owen was eating. She called it "cream" the whole time. I guess the icing looks like ice cream?

Of course Judah and Audrey Claire had to help open presents:)

Here's sweet Harper. She is such a doll!

Harper's mom spent a little time letting Audrey Claire "drive" around the yard. It makes me so happy to have friends who love my sweet little girl:)

Playing in the pool while they boys weren't looking!

Birthday noise-makers... Not sure who thought that'd be a good idea!!

Judah loves his cousin

Miss Priss decided not to take a nap all day Saturday. Needless to say, she was tired! By the end of the party, she climbed on the couch, grabbed a blanket and this is what we saw about three minutes later! She was so tired. I felt bad she was so tired but this allowed Seth and I to stay and hang out a little longer!
