Pumpkin Patch 2013

We visited the pumpkin patch last month with the Townsends and had lots of fun! The older Wyatt gets the more and more fun he becomes. It is absolutely awesome!

Pictures do the most justice.

I just love the picture of Wyatt carrying his pumpkin following daddy!

STL, part 2

Saturday we headed to the brewery to see how beer is made. I mean, we consume it so we may as well see how it's made, right?

It was a 40 minute wait until our tour and then the tour itself was an hour. We were done about 30 minutes in, but you're stuck. I'll admit it's neat to see it, but it seems pretty drawn out. Luckily, Wyatt was such a champ and didn't get fussy once.

That picture definitely makes me heart sing.

See, told you he loved him some Jay.

 

We left by 9 am Sunday. Haley and I were both pretty eager to get back to our baby girls! It was such a fun time and I am so glad that Haley and Jay went with us!

STL- Part 1

Last week we loaded up and headed to St. Louis! Haley and Jay accompanied us, while we left Claire with mom and dad. It wouldn't have been much fun for her, but next year she will certainly be sporting her Braves attire!

 Don't let this picture fool you. Wyatt only watched his "moonie" for a total of maybe 10 minutes. It is what it is.

Haley and I found ways to entertain ourselves in the backseat. You know, taking selfies and reminiscing 5 years back on Facebook.

We stopped at Lambert's for lunch and it was so good, per the usual. Wyatt was definitely liking the "thrown rolls"!

We made really good time and the drive seemed to fly by. Thank heavens that Wyatt did so good even if he almost lost all his cookies in Harrison. eek! Nothing a little water and goldfish couldn't fix.

We headed to the game shortly after we arrived to our hotel. We did yet another thing we vowed never to do as parents...we put Wyatt on a leash. You guys...this is the best thing ever! He was able to be independent, while also being safe. Yes, I felt judged at times, but who cares. I knew my kid was safe and that's all that matters with thousands of people around 

It's fun traveling with people and they take your pictures. Ha!

Bffs and our beautiful blue teeth.

Haley filled Wyatt right up with the cotton candy.

The Braves actually lost both times that we were there. Wah, wah! We had a good night though!

Speaking of BFF, Wyatt absolutely became obsessed with Jay. Ima see Jay and Haley is what we heard quite often.

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day Weekend on the Crooked Creek as we do every year. It was nice to get a breather and to spend time with friends!

I only caught 2 fish this time. The snakes were horrible so I spent all my time seeking out snakes.

I don't really know how many fish Ryan caught...he did catch more than me, but I'm not 100% sure a hat counts.

Bunney working hard back there!

My lovely friends!! I always look forward to this float. Ryan and I (and Allison and Ben) actually cheated the first night and stayed in the cabin. We were lazy and tired of living out of bags/boxes so we opted to not bring out tent and whatnot. Allison and Ben were kind enough to let us crash in the cabin and the second night all 9 of us ended up in there. Ha!

 

Why I decided it was a good idea to be in a bathing suit 4 months post-partum is beyond. Yuck! I guess I need to get on the ball and get back into shape. No excuses now that we aren't packing up and in between houses!!

 

Night out

Last night was my first night away from Claire. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the first time I left Wyatt simply because I knew she was in such good hands with her Mimi and Pawpaw! I got a little sad driving them over there and sad right before we left. Wyatt did good going to bed for Pawpaw without his paci while Claire only woke up once during the night, which was expected!

It was nice getting to dress up and feel pretty. Ha!

Ryan and I went to hear some bands play. Literally just hearing the bands since talking to our friends was near impossible. A LOT of yelling went on since it was so hard to hear. Us girls actually communicated via pen and paper. Haley held onto those 2 sheets and they were down right hilarious and borderline inappropriate! Okay a lot inappropriate.

It was so much fun getting out with friends! Oh, and of course getting to dance!

With a couple of the band members that basically stole my hearing.

And yes...Haley and I (along with our poor husbands) made it to the 40 and danced to our hearts desire.

I've seriously got to retire from the 40. So far it's the 40-2, Sarah-0.

I still have a hideous toenail from a year ago and this time I ate it. For real...and no one even saw it!! Someone had spilled their drink right before you get on the dance floor and as soon as my high heel hit it, I hit the floor. This is what I woke up to.

Oh, it was such a fun night!!

Weekend recap

It's Monday and the day is going good. I've got two sleeping babies...nothing gets me more excited than nap time! Ha!

 

We had such a good weekend. I always get sad when good weekends come to an end.

 

Friday night we went to baby weigh in and Claire weighed 9lbs 14.5oz.

 

Saturday started out like any normal morning. Oh wait. Just kidding. My dear Haley decided to text me at 7:30 in the morning. About the 40.

And if you are wondering what I have to see put to use it's the cage and poles.

The next text is something along the lines of are we going followed by a heck yes from Haley. Oh dear.

 

Later that afternoon us girls got together and watched Marcie tie the knot. It was a sweet wedding and the preacher really made me think about my marriage and my babies. I did shed some tears...picturing your own babies one day having their big day is beyond emotional.

 

It was fun getting to chat with my girls for 2 hours. I'm 99% positive we ran a couple off from the table we were sharing with them too. Ha!

 

Saturday night we went to Mimi and Pawpaw's for dinner.

We took Wyatt to feed one of the baby cows that dad is bottle feeding.

 

I feel like Wyatt got a little taste of country life. Thank goodness!

I burnt my neck with a curling iron like I was in the 6th grade and just learning how to curl my hair. Today, I look like I have two hickeys on my neck.Curling iron burn on the left, birth mark on the right. Shameful.

Wyatt went to kiss Sissy and ended up biting down and dragging his teeth across her forhead.

And that's where he scratched her between her eyes. Poor thing.

 

Sunday, Claire went to church for the first time!

 

They're just so sweet and Claire is already getting sooo big!

 

Ryan and I took the babies to Mimi's and we went to watch The Great and Powerful Oz. It was soo good!!

 

 

The day ended with me going to the gym and the grocery store...I forgot how much of a love/hate relationship I have with the gym.

 

Looking forward to Friday already!
