Pumpkin Patch 2011

This is our third year going to a Pumpkin Patch.  I see pictures of my friends in the midwest and the north and their Pumpkin Patches and they have huge pumpkins, mazes, hayrides, and train rides.  Let's just say that the ones in Tallahassee are not that advanced.  They are very nice, have a large selection of pumpkins, areas for photo ops, if your kids are cooperating.  There are two main Pumpkin Patches in Tallahassee, and we have been to both of them.  We took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch when they were two weeks old, Nana and Papa were here for that visit.  Last year we happened to take them two weeks after they turned one and grandma and grandpa went with us then.  So this year I figured why not keep the streak up, so here we are, two weeks after they turned two.

It was not our best attempt at pictures, the girls were really not into getting their pictures taken. I guess that is just the age that we are at, some days they love to take pictures and some days not so much.

GO EMMA!

On October 20, 2010 at approximately 2:15pm, Emma went pee in the potty at school!!!!!!!!  Her teacher was so proud of her and couldn't wait for me to find out.  Here is the paper that we got from school:

Once we got home I had Em hand daddy the paper and he gave her a huge hug.  She tried to take the sticker off of the paper (note to self, buy some reward stickers).  I had some letter stickers in the craft box and let her pick one, she chose the "P" which I thought was very fitting.

Cousins

Since we had family in town for the girls birthday, we thought it would a great opportunity to get some pictures of the cousins.  Madelyn, is Lily and Emma's first cousin.  She is 8 months old in the these pictures and the girls were one day away from turning the big 2!  We went to our favorite park again (there are just so many great spots in the park that you can go a million times and not get the same spot).  Taking pictures of the girls, actually having them look at the same time is difficult, add a third person into the mix...WOW! 

I do love all the pictures and I am so glad that we will have these as well as others for the girls to always look back on.

two out of three looking  isn't bad :-)

This is where is started to go downhill.  You can't keep the girls away from water :-)

While all that was going on Madelyn was just posing away.  She is absolutely adorable!

Since our clothes were all wet, we needed a wardrobe change, but not before the bloomer pictures.

We moved to another area of the park, with dry clothes on and were able to get these great shots.

We ended with this one afraid that someone was about to go back into the water!
