Blessington Farms

We have had the most perfect weather this weekend!  We headed out to Blessington Farms yesterday morning with some friends and had a great time!  I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Always on the move!  

We loved looking at all of the different pumpkins!

 Reid was more interested in finding sticks to bring home and add to his collection than looking at pumpkins.

We are planning to head to the zoo this afternoon to continue enjoying the Fall weather!  

Picture Post

This was the first time Reid wanted to actually wear his backpack instead of carrying it.  He looked so big!

We went to the park one day to feed the ducks.  I was so stressed out by this situation and Reid could not have been more thrilled!

Reid loves to build fire stations for all of his firetrucks!

Daddy and his little mini...

Messy dinner = sink bath!

I love it when Reid's teacher (aka my wonderful friend Katy) sends me pictures of what he's up to!  I know I am a broken record, but HOW is my baby old enough to go to school and be the calendar helper?! He had been talking about wanting to be calendar helper since the first day of school.  He was sooo excited!

Reid asked me how to spell lion when we were driving one day.  I had no idea he knew how to write letters yet and I was so proud of him (I helped with the n). :)

She loves to put her head to the side and wait for us to say, "awwww!" Sassy.

I just took this picture of Chris and Reid walking to the car after church.  

Baby feet in little white sandals.  Eeeek!

This isn't the best picture, but Georgia Kate loved clapping and dancing at Little Gym last week!

I have a problem with buying everything peach that I see for our little Georgia peach.  This bow ended up not matching anything in her closet, so we wear it with our diapers around the house ;)

Reid and Chris had Dad's Night at school!  They were supposed to dress in their favorite team's colors.

I LOVE this little survey!

I don't have very many Fall decorations, but I made this little banner this year to hang on the mantle with my glitter pumpkins.  I love my glitter pumpkins. :)

The kids and I made this Fall tree!  I love anything with a handprint! 

Reid and I were going to have a mommy/son date to the library to check out books for the first time, but it was closed for the day!  He said, "I feel so disappointed." Daniel Tiger has really helped Reid get in touch with his emotions. :) We ended up having lunch and ice cream and had the best time!  He's growing up so quickly, but I love getting to know the person he's becoming. 

Wild hair and a personality to match!  I just love this girl!

She can thank her daddy for those eyes...

HAPPY OCTOBER!

Chit Chat

Within the last couple of weeks, Georgia Kate has started saying a few words (other than mama and dada).  It's pretty much the cutest thing ever.  She says "Bubba/Bubbo" for brother.  She says it almost every morning when we walk down the stairs because she knows he's usually down there already.  She  points and names a few things like "ba" (ball), "boo" (bird), "hat", "eyes", "bay" (baby), "na" (snack), "de" (deer), and "boo" (book).  The three words we hear most regularly are "uh-oh", "up" (she really annunciates the p sound and uses this word when she wants up or down), and "hi".  My favorite is hi!  She will just walk up to me and say hi while smiling really big (eyes squinted and nose scrunched up).  When I'm rocking her before bed she will take her paci out over and over and say hi in a quiet voice.  I love this because it's what I always do when I'm rocking her.  I will just stare at her and say hi. :) This girl has been pretty vocal from the beginning and I have a feeling it's not going to stop! I love it!  

Yesterday while Reid was at preschool, Georgia noticed that his trains were left unattended on the coffee table.  Her face when she saw them was so funny!  It was like she knew this was her big chance to go play with them!! She was making them go back and forth and saying "voooo"!  

Oh how we love this baby girl!

Weekend of fun!

We had a fun family weekend!  Friday was slightly overcast most of the day, so the kids and I were able to do some "summery" things (you know, now that summer is over) without completely melting.  

We met some friends at a splash pad in the morning and both kids LOVED it!  We hadn't been to one all summer and I'm glad we were able to finally squeeze in a trip. 

After naps, we went on a walk to the park, which is something we haven't done in a couple of months because again, it's so ridiculously hot.  Are you noticing a theme?  Houston is hot and even though I've lived here my whole life, I will continue to complain about it until it cools off. :) 

We came back from the park and enjoyed some frozen blueberries on the back porch!  I just think babies eating blueberries and getting all messy is so cute, so I had a little photo shoot with Georgia Kate.  I did the same thing with Reid when he was a baby. :) 

My green eyed boy...

And for fun, this is Reid when he was about Georgia's age.  Look at that face!

We needed to clean off with some water table fun!

After dinner we went to get snow cones!

    

On Saturday, Chris and Reid went to College Station for the game and Georgia Kate and I hung out with my parents for a little while.  

Couldn't get one picture with them both looking at the camera! ;)

This girl is always on the move, so it's getting harder and harder to get a non blurry picture of her!  This dress is a size 3 month!  She wore it last season when she was just a tiny newborn and I cannot believe she can still wear it!  Mumsie whipped up a pair of bloomers and we were set for another football season!  Whoop!

Reid didn't last long at the game (as in he was ready to leave before the game started), but it ended up working out for the best because there was a 2 hour rain delay!  Crazy!  They made it home in time for Chris to watch the whole thing on TV.

I just love this picture of Georgia giving her baby a bottle (in the forehead). ;)

This morning we had a nice little cooperative photo shoot before church. ;) The good news is that Georgia Kate did so well in the nursery!  Yay! 

 We ended the weekend by going to see Alli and John at their new house!  Their house is great and we had a fun visit!

We are looking forward to a great week!  Ibloom starts back for me tomorrow morning and Reid will be back for week 2 of school on Tuesday and Thursday! :)
