Burt's Farm

Sunday, we took a trip to Burt's Farm!  We met Amber and the boys there as well as Jared, Linsey, and Karlee.  It was so much fun!  Cookie was also in town so she got to experience Burt's Farm!  Matthew got to take his first hay ride there!  I'm pretty sure it was Karlee's first hay ride too!  All the kids got pumpkins.  The weather was perfect for a day at the pumpkin patch!

Matthew's in the Crib

Last Wednesday, Matthew slept in his crib for the first time! He did great! He only woke up once! He was getting way too big for his bassinet. It was sad to put him in his big crib though. He looks so little in it. However, I know it is much more comfortable!

The Happy Camper Party

Last Saturday we went to the Slocumb's house for Braden's 4th birthday party! It was a camping party! It was fabulous as only Brooke could make it. The party was complete with a tent pinata and Brooke even found a blow up fire! There was a real fire of course too for the toasting of marshmallows! It was so much fun!

The happy camper- birthday boy Braden!

Check out these frogs made out of oreos and pretzels!

The blow up fire!

MG sure did toast her marshmallow!

McKenzie's 1st Pep Rally

Last week at McKenzie's school was Homecoming Week! So on Friday they had a big Homecoming Pep Rally. I took the boys and we went. It was so much fun! They did the Cha-Cha Slide, the limbo, dressed the Sr. boys up like girls, and introduced the homecoming court. McKenzie was so excited! She of course had never seen anything like a pep rally before. Landon loved it too, all of it except for Hawk the mascot!  Every Friday at McKenzie's school, after school, there is a snow cone truck that comes and everyone who wants a snow cone can buy one.  So the kids had snow cones after the pep rally!

Meeting Great Grandma and Grandpa

We went to Young Harris 2 weekends ago for Matthew to meet great grandma and grandpa. While we were there McKenzie and Landon got to carve a pumpkin with Papa. It rained all day Saturday, so no outside playing. It was off to Fun World and then ice cream!

Well Check Ups

I am really behind on my blog these days.  That is because I would much rather rock my sweet baby then type!  We are growing, growing, growing around here!  Landon had his 24 month check up and he is a healthy, mischievous little thing!  He is into everything and climbs on anything that is still long enough to let him.  Here are Landon's stats:

Matthew is growing like a little weed.  In fact he is 6 weeks old today!  I can't even believe it!  He is sleeping 6 hours at a time now at night between feedings.  He is so sweet and is learning to be so tough with a big brother around!  Here are the results from his 1 month check up...
