~bell buckle craft fair~

we started our day shopping over in the avenue. albo and i

got rae rae's birthday present and my mom got her a new pair

of shoes :)

when daddy got home we ventured over to bell buckle for their annual

craft fair. (good free entertainment) we even got to park for free!!

we had a ball! funnel cakes, fresh squeezed lemonade, chicken on a stick, and kettle korn!!

we just had fun walking around looking at all the "junk".

i didn't take many pictures. aubree wanted to push the stroller, not ride in it to make our lives easier. plus it was VERY crowded.

happy birthday eena!

my mom and step-dad came down for the weekend, it was also my mom's birthday so we "celebrated". we ordered pizza and i made a

banana pudding, (paula deen style) it was so delicious!

here is albo enjoying so puddin :)

notice her hair looks gray?

she took a bottle of baby powders and dumped them all over her hair,

the floor, the chair, the ottomans, EVERYWHERE!!

my mama opening her birthday presents from everybody.

she got some pretty good stuff :)

anyway,

happy birthday mom! i love you!!!

baby it's fall outside

we spent a little while playing outside today enjoying the weather.

it was such a pretty day!

i love watching aubree play! she has so much fun outside.

feel's like i have a little tom~boy on my hands. thats ok

as long as she still wants to look cute and wear hairbows too :)

there is nothing more important in the world than this here.

there are no words to describe the love i feel for my baby girl.

she's checking her battery before she takes off to make sure

her ride will be a safe one :)

she loves pushing this wagon around the driveway and on our sidewalk.

she gets so mad and frustrated when we make her stop there.

she wants to push it all the way out in the road which would be fine if she would let you help, however ms. independent must have full

control.

this is our little fall display we have set up in our yard. i picked this

stuff up off a a guy on the side of the road that grew all the gourds,

indian corn, and pumpkins his self. he was such a sweet old man.

albo playing peek a boo with me behind the corn stalk.

this huge smile on her face does not do justice to the belly laughing

she was doing. priceless..

here is the Big Girl on her bicycle that her papaw got

her for her birthday. she sits on it so good while one of us pulls her along. i love the helmet and knee pads, so cute!

we get so many compliments on this bicycle. all of our neighbors

think its the cutest thing ever watching her ride by.

bar~b~que goodness!

do you ever get in a dinner rut? we certainly do. spaghetti, taco's, chicken & rice, etc.......

i was looking up recipes the other night to try and find something new to try. i come across this recipe from paula deen, barbecue chicken baked potatoes. oh my goodness how delicious!

i wanna share with all you guys!

put your chicken in a crock pot. mix your favorite barbecue sauce with cumin, onion powder, cumin, hot sauce, brown sugar, and worcestershire sauce. simmer for 4 hrs.

take your baking potatoes drizzle with olive oil and coarse sea salt and ground black pepper.

wrap individually with foil and bake on 425 for one hour.

slice potatoes and put butter and shredded cheese then top with your shredded barbecue chicken.

i made deviled eggs, slaw, and baked beans to go with! it was amazing!!

i know its a little blurry, sorry :(

beep!

we got to keep reagan a few hours yesterday. aubree enjoyed every second of her playtime with rae~rae. she doesn't get to have her over to our house to play much. they spend most of their time together at katie's. it was a real treat for us!

this is the two of them playing together in aubree's barbie jeep she got for her birthday. which by the way she calls it her BEEP! just adorable :)

family photo time.....again.....

while we were back home for albo's birthday we had a family photo session with mandi, a girl that i graduated high school with. she did such a good job! these are a few of my favorites :)

walden punkin farm

we visited walden farms today! we loved it so much last year and we knew albo would be able to enjoy more that they offered since she was a year older. we were right! she had a blast. she didn't wanna leave!

it was a little overwhelming for her. they had a pumpkin train ride, pigs, cow, chickens, and goats (aubree's personal favorite), corn maze, pumpkin match, a big activity center for kids, etc.......

we enjoy picking out the pumpkin we are gonna carve together on halloween and of course we had to get a huge mum for our porch :)

aubree having her "treat" a candy corn sucker. it was such a seasonal sucker you in kinda sucker so she (i) had to have it.

aubree thought this was the perfect pumpkin for us! she was cute tryin to pick it up. making grunting sounds and straining.

she LOVED the goats. she cried when we walked, no drug her away from them. she said no, please! please!

aubree picked out her own mini pumpkin to bring home

mama tryin to help her make the decision.

this is absolutely priceless. she is showing you for herself just how much she is in love with the goats. i think we should put a little goat farm in the back yard :)

daddy and albo feeding the goats. i think about the picture of the two of them last year standing in this very same spot doing this very same thing. my oh my how time flies...

my angel face.. so perfect.

daddy and albo standing in the corn maze. this was the point where she was saying "play" "please" "play"

there is no other beautiful baby in the world. period..

you can take a ride on my big green tractor.............

Happy Fall Y'all!!!

its our favorite time of year and we are so looking forward to all the fun we plan on having :)
