They are still the cutest pumpkins ever!!!

Since Kaylyn had a teacher planning day yesterday, Tia and I decided to make our trip to the Pumpkin Patch with the kids. So much has changed in a year and our kids have grown so much (and become much harder to photograph)! As a mom, it's nice to watch them become independent, but uploading these pictures and looking back at the ones from last year definitely makes me a little sad. I want to freeze time and hold on to my girls (and Sam) for a little bit longer...I don't want them to grow anymore. Since I cannot do that, I will cherish every minute that I get to spend with them and special times like these with friends.

Kaylyn & Ashton - Pumpkin Patch 2012

And only a year ago, these were my babies...

Kaylyn is getting so BIG!

 

Such cute pumpkins!

 

Picking out a pumpkin...

Ashton & Sam last year... 

And then this year...

I love Ashton's expression!

 

Kaylyn decided to pull the little ones in the wagon.

And then they started going too fast down the hill and she ended up in the pumpkins...uh oh!

All of the kids last year...

And all of the kids this year...

Sam loves his Ashton so much he just had to sit in her lap!

Sam also LOVES Mickey Mouse!!!

Now it's Ashton turn with Mickey. 

Me and my girls.

Even though the little ones were much harder to get pictures of this year, we all had a great time. Until next year...Happy Halloween!

Quick Trip...

I feel so bad that I haven't done a post lately, but it isn't because we're not doing things...I've just been really busy. Now is my time to get caught up.

This past Saturday we made a quick trip to Valdosta to spend the day at Wild Adventures. It was an absolutely perfect day and the weather could not have been any better. It was just the four of us and it was really nice to spend time together and it be just our little family.

(this little stinker will rarely look and smile at the camera anymore)

The two of us rode the little ride that spins around and you have the ability to make it spin even faster...I think she was getting dizzy.

Us girls...

Now it's every one's turn to ride the spin thing...

Silly faces!

Family

We were going pretty fast at this point.

Ashton loves this ride and Kaylyn loves to ride it with her. The only bad part is that I have to ride it too since Kaylyn is not 16.

They are both so happy!

I love when they are looking at each other...it's one of the sweetest things ever!!!

I look forward to many more quick trips!



Gymnastics For Both Girls

September 18th was a day that I waited for every since I found out I was having another girl! Not only did gymnastics for the Fall start for Kaylyn, but it was the first time ever that Ashton took a class. To say that I was excited about it is an understatement. I've always loved taking Kaylyn to dance or gymnastics and to be able to start this adventure with Ashton was great. I look forward to the many memories that I can share with both of my precious daughters doing the things that they love!

(Kaylyn and Ashton's classes start at the same time, so I go in with Ashton and when her class is over, we watch Kaylyn for the rest of the time)

I LOVE those BIG brown eyes!

This was the second time going to gymnastics for Ashton. They were both so excited.

Hanging like a monkey and LOVING every minute of it...

She was trying to make sure her coach was watching in this one. The whole class she is constantly saying "watch Coach Jo, watch."

We've had a great first two weeks and I cannot wait to see how the rest of the Fall session goes.
