Feeling like Fall

The weather finally cooperated and began feeling like fall this weekend! I love the cooler weather! We woke up Saturday morning and just decided to jump in the car and go to the pumpkin patch! We did not have any other plans really so I am glad we decided to go. Whit enjoyed the tractor ride to the patch and loved all the animals! It was chilly but we had fun!!

He found it!



The Grove

This weekend Nate and I went with my parents to Oxford for the Auburn Ole Miss game. We had such a good time with everyone! My aunt, uncle and cousin came for the fun too! So glad we got to be with MM and JD for a while since we never see them anymore. The game was terrible but we had a great time tailgating in the grove!! Whit was at home with Deedee and Jimbo and I do not think mommy and dada were missed one single bit. He has so much fun with them and was a good boy all weekend. He even slept in a big boy bed at Deedees and never tried to get out. I missed my little buddy a lot though!
We have been going for about a month now and I am ready to be at home on the weekend to get some things ready for this baby that is coming in about 10 weeks!



We came home and went to celebrate Sam's 2nd birthday! The park was a hit and we had fun playing!! Can't believe our boys are 2(or almost)



First Annual Girls Weekend

The first weekend of October is officially now our girls weekend. This year it was 9 girls: 3 pregnant, 6 mommas, and all 9 needing a break from life for 2 days. We missed the ones that could not make it this year but everyone just mark it down for next year! We had a great time! I miss spending time with my friends. I am thankful for each one of them and am lucky to have such a good group of friends. The weather could not have been more perfect. We got some good vitamin D! Dinners out, snacks and yummy deserts! Daddy stayed home with Whit and did such a great job. They had fun together and I appreciate Nate letting me enjoy time away. I came home to a perfectly clean house which made for a very happy momma!

Love each one of these girls!

Loved the sunny weather!

Bfast with daddy while mommy was gone!



Mountains weekend

We went to Gatlinburg for a quick visit with Nate's family from Knoxville! Unfortunately the trip was too short and we did not get to hang out as much as we would like but its always good to see everyone! The mountains were so pretty and it was nice to feel some cooler mornings!
Whit was pretty good all weekend. He did come down with something Saturday and ran fever the rest of the weekend but he was a sport and thankfully was not too bad. He did sleep very good in his bed last night though!
We stayed in on Saturday watching football so I do not have pictures from the weekend really!



Love seeing the Smokies first thing when you wake up!



Grandmother reading to Whit- thankful he was so good and let her read to him!

These times are so few and I am thankful for Grandmother!



Growing Up....

We had a great weekend! Saturday was a perfect day with our little family. Daddy stayed home all day watching football and I got alot done at home while Whit was giddy to play in his teeshirt and diaper all day with everyone home! I finished painting the nursery and put up some more of Whit's clothes to make room for fall clothes! I was in a baking mood so Whit helped me(ate apples) make an apple crisp and then we grilled out to finish out the games of the day! It was so nice to finish stuff around the house and have daddy home all day. Whit was just silly all afternoon and I think he enjoyed a day at home!
Yesterday was a big day! I decided to just move forward and put Whit in his big boy bed. I had been trying to "plan" too much so I just put all thoughts aside and did it! My parents came over and brought the bed that they had. We were thankful that they had a headboard and mattress for us to use! Whit helped us take down the crib and he told it "bye bye" and we moved it out! Then he helped us bring in his new bed and as soon as we got a sheet down he started jumping and falling down. He seemed totally fine with it all even with the crib in the nursery! Last night we all read books in bed and he went to sleep. This morning he just cried for me like he always does and I went and got him out of the bed. I know this is one night and he will probably starting trying to get out but I must say I was very pleased and so proud of him for moving forward! Oh he is so big!!!

new bed! I am still "decorating"

My sweet boy asleep in his bed! He does not like covers so I didn't try



Farmin'

We very much enjoyed our weekend at the farm. It is always a nice change of pace. Nothing new but of course Whit had the best time of all. He rode everything he could find, had more dirt on his face than this momma has ever seen, sweated and loved every minute of it all! And yes we did wear our overalls every day bc what else do you wear at the farm!

Snack time!

Driving the mule

Probably the favorite thing of the weekend was the lawnmower

what farmer is complete without his John Deere

Daddy fixing the pedals so we can "try" to reach and ride

Worn out on the way home from our fun weekend!



Ready for fall!

I am so ready for fall! I think it is my favorite season. The older I get the more I realize that I really do not enjoy summer. Football to me is the start of fall (even though it is hot for 2 more months) and I am ready to watch some games this weekend! We are off to the farm for the long weekend which could not be any more perfect! Happy Labor Day!

Football Fridays at school are back!

First football Friday last year!
