Pumpkin Patch

This year someone told us about a really neat pumpkin patch fairly nearby that we wanted to try.  The girls had an absolute blast there!  Our only regret was not going earlier in the day so that we had more time.  There was so much to do that we didn't hardly have time for all of it!  Here are some of the pictures...

What a fun time!

Dixie Classic Fair

Fair time is one of my favorite times of the year!  This year though, the only times we could go were really rainy or after it had been rainy.  We decided to go anyways and try to bear the crowds.  The girls had a great time!  I think they would have rode all the rides in the place!  We could have spent a lot more time there too! Here are some pictures...


We saw the Craver's there first thing!  Here's their boys Graylan and Evan

look at this guy's tongue!




she loved being on Pa's shoulders!




both girls had to get in on the action!

Makenzie's first Gymnastics

Makenzie has been such a good sport to sit and watch her sister do gymnastics.  Rylee decided one evening though that she wanted her to try it too.  She picked her out a leotard and set it out with hers to go the next day.  We told her that she might be a little young (the class is supposed to be for 3-5 year olds) but that we would ask and see.  Makenzie was so cute trying it for the first time.  Here are a few pictures....

A day at the park

My mom and grandmother took the girls to the park a couple weeks ago.  Here are those pictures and a couple other really cute ones from my mom's house...













 
The girls were laying in the floor watching TV with Aunt Jessie...they think she's pretty cool!

New bedrooms

Aunt Jessie brought over some new bedroom furniture for us.  We decided to put it in Rylee's room that way we would have a full bed in there on those fun nights when there is thunder and we have to join her in the bed.  Makenzie was ready to be done with the toddler bed so we let her have Rylee's old bedroom set.  They both love their new rooms!  Here are a few pictures...

New Playground

A couple of weekends ago after church, the girls and I decided we needed some time outside before heading home.  We found a new playground to play at and even a couple of new friends to play with.  Here are a few pictures...
