Dewberry Farm and Such

The weather is getting a little cooler, and we are living outside! The afternoons still get pretty hot, but the mornings are very nice! We went to Dewberry Farm today. We really had a good time. Big outings like that are usually overwhelming with bags, food, diapers, strollers, etc. However, today went so smooth! The kids were all smiles and easy going- they had a blast!!

Faith Ann looked adorable in her smocked spider dress- ahhhh, that girl melts me! She enjoyed our adventure with friends. We rode the train, went on a tractor ride, did the rope swing into hay, and went through the corn-maze. I breastfed next to a quiet, beautiful pond. The "dad crew" appeared at the pond with all their children while I was feeding her! Lovely...a whole farm full of mothers, and the one group of dads come to play with the ducks mid-feeding! Anyways, it was fine and Faith Ann didn't skip a beat!

 Faith Ann is starting to really look like a big girl. She is now sitting in a big girl stroller during my errands. She sits up unassisted, and she is sleeping like a dream! She has been going from 7:30pm all the way to 8:30! I sometimes have to wake her for us to take Hunter to school at 9am!! Girlfriend likes her sleep! She is still taking just one LONG nap a day in her crib (1:00-4:30 or later.) She grabs a few catnaps in her carseat. She is such a trooper!

She is starting to get more verbal. She makes this 'dinosaur like' noise, and she drags it out for like 30 seconds- it is so funny! She blows lots of raspberries, spit bubbles and laughs. Her favorite activity is to jump in her doorway jumper with her brothers. She bounces away while Hunter and Trent jump next to her. She thinks this is so funny. This is the first "game" they have played all together as siblings.

Hunter has had soccer games every Saturday. He is enjoying it. He started off the season just running with the crowd and not paying attention. Now, he actually kicks the ball every once and a while. He makes me laugh! He was running behind the kids last week and tracing the numbers on their jersey. His little finger would trace the 8 and 92. Then, he would snap out of his 'number tracing daze' and randomly kick the ball! Love that sweet boy.  Mimi (Scott's grandmother) and Pardner (my dad) came to the game last week. Then, we all went to Southwells for lunch afterwards- one of our favorite places!

Hunter is really looking like a big boy to me these days. His entire demeanor is more grown up! He is really growing into such a sharp, smart, loving, thoughtful, and witty kid! I cut Hunter and Trent's hair in the driveway a couple days ago. I still left some curls on Trent, but it was time to clean them up a bit! We have LOTS of birthday parties, Halloween activities, and church events coming up. We are busy...the best kind of busy in the world! I love the activity, the action, the fun. These memories are priceless. These days are the best days of my life!
