Lately

The Budweiser Clydesdales were in town a couple days this week and my mother really wanted to take the kids to see them. 

They were HUMUNGO. And so pretty.

Lucy was loving it.

As we were about to leave, we saw my friend Amy and her boys, so we stayed to play with them and waited to watch the horses leave.

I don't know about you, but Ryder looks like he could pass as a Barry brother. They all three have the exact same hair. Its pretty awesome.

While we waited on them to leave Lucy snacked....

...and Ryder cheesed it up. Of course he doesn't look at the camera though. This kid always looks down and to the side when I take his picture.

The Clydesdales were at the amphitheater, so of course they had a band playing. Lucy decided it was a great time to bust out her new moves.

Yea....she doesn't have shoes on. She did come with shoes, BUT I felt bad because we were in a rush to get out there before the horses left so I crammed her feet in these shoes that honestly should have been stored away a month ago. I decided it would be fine for her to be barefoot for 20 min. She lived :) And on a productive note I rounded up all of her shoes that have been lingering in random rooms of the house and put them back were they belong and purged all the too little shoes from her closet. 

Yay, dinner has been eaten, baths have been taken and now its off to bed! Oh buddy, I was freaking exhausted.

We have some fun things planned for this weekend including a baby shower, birthday party, and maybe a trip to see the Blue Angels! As in a trip to the Northport Wal-Mart parking lot......we learned our lesson the first year people.

What do you have going on?

Pumpkin Patch

We had the best time @ the pumpkin patch with our friends Saturday.......I think George had the best time of all :)

 

 Ryder kept picking up these way-too-big-for-him pumpkins, then dropping them. Thats why we came home with 3 small pumpkins. We even got a white one which I am so pumped about. I cant wait til we decorate them. The other two are short and round, like a tire. I dont really know how much carving will be going on...but we will try!

One of Lucy's moments of freedom.

We didnt let her out of the wagon or our arms very much. That place was packed to the gills.....with horses, people, and tractors.

Ryder loves this pic. 

This place was awesome. After we rode on the hayride to get our pumpkins I was STARVING. So Emily and I  stood in line to get some food and the everyone else took the kids to the petting zoo. We were in that line for 10,000 years. And just as we were heading down to meet back up with our friends and husbands, they came walking back up the hill. Bummer. 

I was soooo hungry though. I got a bbq sandwich, a sweet potato, roasted corn, and lemonade.......for $18. WHOA! hello six flags.

We need a new camera. End of story.

All these pics except for the last one were taken by my friend Emily and her husband. Emily is one of my best friends and is one of the kindest people I know. I love her!

Im so glad we have such wonderful friends that all have children the same age as ours. It was such a good day. 

I hope we can go every year together :)
