Pumpkin Fun!

These are the pumpkins we got at the farm! Their names are Big Daddy, The Mommy, Lil Sam and Sleepin Tuck. Can you guess who is who?!

The little pumpkins I made into our pets! Mischief is in the back, Charcoal is the gray one, Oreo is black and white, Nemo is the big orange one up front and Hershey is the dog. The ghost was just for fun because we like the big white gourds :)

A closer view of the animals.

The whole zoo! Happy Halloween everybody!!

More Pumpkin Fun

Now we were trying to find our way out of the Corn Maze. I think we did pretty good but I shouldn't have worn flip flops in the muddy maze!

Sam picked the biggest pumpkin in the patch! We call him Big Daddy!

Fun at the Pumpkin Farm

We got to go to Hernando, MS to the pumpkin farm this past Friday and we had a great time! There was so much to do there and Sam really enjoyed it. Here we were waiting for the pig races to start and Sam decided he needed a snack.

They had a petting zoo and Sam was not scared of any of the animals-he even let a donkey eat out of his hand! This was a beautiful white horse named Snow who kept nuzzling him.

Playing Hide-n-seek in the hay maze. This was just the right size for Sam.

More Fun in Chattanooga

Going to the wedding with Grampa, Gramma and Daddy.

Sam got to go for a short walk with Gramma Sherry-this picture is priceless!!

He helped her carry the mail back up to the house-such a big boy!

Fun Times with Daddy

We found these building blocks at a yard sale and Sam loves them (almost as much as Chris!) They've had fun building stuff then knocking it down.

Chris took Sam to Chattanooga for the weekend recently so he could go to a good friend's wedding and Sam could visit Grampa and Gramma. I had to stay behind because it was too close to my due date to travel (but I managed to enjoy myself-had a yard sale Saturday morning and then just relaxed the rest of the weekend). Here Sam is showing Gramma and Grampa how he can use a big boy spoon.

Playing the piano with Grampa Dave.

Chris found these junior football pads at Wal-mart and told Sam it wouldn't be long before he'll be wearing them for real!

Baby Shower for Tucker

My wonderful friends threw me a baby shower for Tucker who should be arriving in about 3 weeks! I have had serious problems with my sweet tooth lately so they got me a triple chocolate cake! It was soooo yummy.

Chris surprised me with the double stroller we both liked-he got it the day before and snuck it over to our friends' house so it would be there for the shower. What a sweet hubby!

Lots of goodies for Tucker-we are so excited for him to get here!

Good Fall Memories

We've had a great few months together watching Sam grow so quickly. He has started Preschool 2 days a week and is loving playing with his new friends. He's discovered that he can crawl up on things and that it's just as much fun to chase Daddy as it is to be chased by him. He loves posing for the camera and generally just has fun with whatever is going on.

Here he is all ready for preschool-He looks so much like Dennis the Menace I couldn't resist taking a picture.

He wanted to be outside with Daddy so Chris put him in his hiking pack and mowed the yard with him. Sam thought this was great-Chris enjoyed it alot too!
