The Farm

It's been raining a bit lately, (imagine that!) but on Wednesday there was some guaranteed sunshine! Some friends and I took advantage of this weather and went to the farm! It was a beautiful day! We arrived a little late because we wanted to wait for Rachel to get out of school and this is where we found our friends! Jayden was going so fast, her boot fell off! There were also these hay bales. The kids would run across and then jump off the end! Go Rachel! To be a kid again:) All smiles I believe this was a tire horse swing. Whatever it was Jayden loved it! It wouldn't be a day at The Farm without the duck races. Our duck was dead last. boo! Ahh...the lovely pile O corn! The kids spent the majority of their time in here. Who wouldn't? It's pretty cool. I even went in! throwing... laying... beautiful! I love this. Rachel makes new friends instantly. Here they are burying her. Is that a good thing? Jayden was full of smiles today. Good thing! Rachel had this brilliant idea to fill her socks with corn! I told her not to forget it before we left, but she did:) The Farm also has this super awesome hay maze with a slide at the end..Rachel thought it was a roller coaster! It was actually quite bumpy. I think Jayden caught some air here:) Finding her way to the slide:) Last stop was the pumpkin patch. Rachel finally found a pumpkin that we didn't get a picture of and is still not carved. Oh well. Thanks weather for giving us a beautiful day!

preschool treats!

Jayden's preschool had a little party and this is the loot she came home with:):) She's pretty dang cute! Rachel was happy too because Jayden likes to share:)

New Cut

I tried a new salon the other day and this is what they did to my hair:) Rachel took a picture... and then I took a picture:) She did better than me:) I like it, but I know I will want it long again soon. It's just how my moods are:):) Thanks goodness hair grows!

Craven Farm Field Trip

Jayden's preschool class had a fun little field trip to the pumpkin patch. It was supposed to rain that day, but we lucked out with sunshine! I didn't even need a jacket:):) Jayden was a little grouchy at first...this is in the midst of her throwing a fit. Then she saw some baby chicks and she was happy! we also came across this fun duck. If we got too close to his ladies he spread his wings and we backed off...scary! A pumpkin's interpretation of UP! pumpkin royalty! A class picture. Jayden is the one covering her ears because everyone yelled cheese too loud...wimp!:) on the search for the best pumpkin ever! found it!! She was all smiles and oh so proud. love her smiles hiding in the cornstalk. She must have spent at least ten minutes playing in there! everyone wanted a turn on the tractor... who knows?? This was too cute. She actually fit in that huge tire!! They had this truck that was just stuck in the mud...for play of course:) One of the dad's came and shook the truck. Jayden LOVED that and kept asking him to do it again and again. He was a good sport:) I thought this picture would be cute, but it toook some convincing on Jayden's part to stick her head in there:) she's just too cute! A little short but she got there! Jayden and mom. I thought this looked a little bright...the flash was on. Duh!! A little better:) What a great time... we might go again!

Ballet Professional

Rachel has just started this new ballet class and she loves it! The parents were invited to watch the other day and I only took 98 pictures! I only posted a few:):):) She wanted her hair in a bun so there it is, the smallest bun in history! After talking to a few of the moms at dance class I realized that I could have had non-panty issues if Rachel wasn't wearing any. Who knew?:):) This is her awesome teacher. Her name is Sarah, so she is extra awesome! Go Rachel! I love these pictures where they don't know they are being photographed. Doesn't she look beautiful? She is a pretty good leapster! scarf fun!This helps them to focus:) I wish this turned out better. I guess I'll just keep trying! Rachel has a great group of friends:)
