Gentry's Farm

Last Saturday we headed out to Gentry’s Farm with Lola. She loved all the animals they had for the kids to look at. Especially all the chickens running around, she chased them everywhere yelling ‘ducks’. We all enjoyed the hayride around the farm, Lola sat in Andrew’s lap the entire ride. She loved seeing all the ‘moos’ (cows) in the field. Looking forward to Halloween!

I'm out!

Just chillin'

Going through the maze

Checking out the animals

She loved this tractor. There were about 10 just like this and she kept going from one to the other.

My cousin Ashley, her husband Josh, & my Aunt Carol were in town visiting and joined us at the farm, here we are on the hayride.

Fall is here!

We are loving fall, it’s amazing what nice weather will do for your attitude. We have been enjoying the outdoors, parks, walks, zoo, football, etc.

I found this Bama cheerleading outfit at a consignment a few months back. She wore it this past Saturday and surprised Andrew. He could not believe how girly she looked. Not like a baby, but a little girl!

Andrew’s aunt made Lola this adorable fall dress with pumpkins and leaves on it, it’s precious.

On Sunday, after Lola was dressed for church she ran in her room and got her Bible off the night side table all by herself, it was like she just knew! So, we let her ‘read’ it in the car on the way to church. She did a little ‘reading’ and once we got to church we noticed she had actually bitten off a chunk of her Bible, she really likes her Bible!

On Monday, Lola and I headed to the Monkey’s Treehouse to play with a few friends. This place was amazing! There were so many things for Lola to do, it is the ultimate toddler entertainment center. We are looking forward to many more trips here in the future.

Just thought this was a funny pic, Lola and Bryce doubled up in the stroller!

Can you tell me how to get....

…to Sesame Street. Lola loves the Elmo, Big Bird & Cookie Monster characters I bought out of the dollar bin at Target. Love that place. She carries them all over the house with her, it’s so cute!

Learning to feed myself

First pair of Chuck Taylors


On Sunday we went to Centennial Park to feed the ducks. We were unsuccessful, but did happen upon the fall craft fair. Next, we headed to the dragon play ground near Vanderbilt, Lola loved it!

We started brushing Lola's teeth this week. She went with me to CVS and picked out her Elmo tooth brush & paste, she was so excited!

I had a baby shower for Leslie at my house this past weekend. It was so good to see everyone and I had so much fun with the girls.

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Today we had an almost totally dry day! We spent most of the afternoon & evening outdoors and it was wonderful. We have been pretty cooped up the last week and needed some fresh air. Here are a few recent photos.

First Braves Game

We took Lola to her first Braves game this weekend. It was a little wet outside, but that did not stop us from having fun! She was so quiet at first, just taking everything in, but that didn’t last long. She loved all the music, noise and cheering. Turner field has so many things for kids to do; it’s like an amusement park and baseball field all in one. Here are a few photos from the game. We winded up leaving after the 4th inning. There was a big rain delay, we waited around for 30-45 minutes and decided to call it a day. Thanks to Uncle JC for the tickets!

The Letter B...

B is for Banjo in the Bathtub! Monday we had Andrew’s family over for the holiday and Andrew’s cousin Caleb gave Lola a little banjo concert during her bath.

It was hilarious, I think Dan counted 9 people all stuffed in our tiny bathroom at once!

On Saturday we went to celebrate Abby’s birthday. We had a great time with family in town. Lola was a little unsure of the pony (horse) at the birthday.....

...but she did sit on the pony for a few seconds.

The bobbing for apples tub was a huge hit with Lola, she loved playing in the water and digging the apples out.

Playing in the water with cousins Reece, Abby & Kate!

What happened to all the apples???

Lola also loved playing with Abby's dollhouse. I think she stayed in the corner for most of the party and was totally entertained. I might see a dollhouse in her future!

5 Years

We are celebrating 5 wonderful years of marriage today! Andrew is such a great man, husband and father. I am so blessed.
