Halloween

Berkley was the cutest little pig for Halloween this year. We didn't actually go trick or treating because it was so chilly and Berkley can't eat candy yet, so we just visiting Nene and PawPaw. She did get $5.00 from them and a bag of Goldfish!!

The Pumpkin Patch

We finally got to go to the Pumpkin Patch this past Sunday!! I didn't think we would ever get to because of all the rain we have gotten lately! It turned out to be a warm, sunny day! We met our friends, Heather, Stephen and Kierston Quinn, there and the girls had so much fun! We started out just looking at all the different kinds of pumpkins that were all over the ground. Berkley wanted to sit on all of them (for some reason, she loves to sit on all sorts of things).





After looking at the pumpkins for a while, we decided to go over to the little tractors and let the girls play on those for a minute...which is exactly how long they wanted to play on them!



After that, we went over to these big boxes (similar to sand boxes) filled with corn. They had toys in there for the kids to play in! I think they would have stayed in there all day! Berkley of course tried to eat the corn (which she may have actually swallowed a couple pieces)! It was alot of fun for them.




After the corn boxes, we went to the cotton bin and Berkley and Kierston along with Chad and Stephen got in and played for a minute. I don't think Berkley really liked the cotton! We got some cute pictures, though!




We then decided to go on the hayride that took us around the farm. It was nice to be able to sit and and relax for a little bit and Berkley was actually still herself!


After all the playing, we picked out a few pumpkins to take home and called it a day! We will definitely have to make this an annual trip!

Trip to the Fair

Last Saturday we met our friends, Heather and Stephen Quinn and their little girl, Kierston, at the Fair in Starkville. They had pony rides, a petting zoo and a few rides that were appropriate for Berkley and Kierston. Berkley had a great time...especially on the BIG slide! Once again, not sure if she is related to me. She kept wanting to slide again...she didn't understand that it took 3 tickets to slide one time (3 tickets=$3.00!!) Anyway, she ended up sliding 5 times. The last time, Chad actually let her slide in her own lane beside him! She had a blast!

Hanging out with Gran, PawPaw and Greer

Berkley loves to go to Gran and PawPaw's house and play. Usually we visit their church on Sunday's and then spend the afternoon lounging at their house. Now, as soon as we pull in the driveway Berkley starts pointing at Greer's 4-wheeler. She knows that someone will ride her around on it! She is starting to get a little spoiled by the grandparents! I guess that is what they are for!! Here are some pictures from a couple weekends ago.

She is a thrill seeker just like her Daddy!

I seriously am questioning whether or not I am actually related to Berkley. She is constantly wanting to do the most dangerous things (dangerous for a one year old). If there is anything around to climb on, that is exactly what she wants to do. We are constantly running around trying to catch her from falling (and by we, I mean "I" am always trying to catch her from falling!) Chad says, "she's fine..let her play". Berkley's Nene and PawPaw bought her a little pink princess 4-wheeler for her birthday and rather than sitting on it and riding it slowly like I would like, she prefers to climb on it and stand up without holding on! When that bores her, she proceeds to push it up to the coffee table and use it as a step stool to get on top of the table! She is a mess!

Roll Tide!!

Our friends David and Rendy Gunnels came over a couple weekends ago and watched the Alabama game with us (even though Chad is an avid MSU fan). Berkley and Ella had a great time cheering for the TIDE!!! Roll Tide!

Too cute not to share...

I just had to post this picture of Berkley taken at her birthday party at daycare. This picture captures her personality perfectly!

First Birthday Festivities!

I can't believe it! Berkley turned one year old this past weekend! This past year has flown by. She is growing up so fast and learning things too quickly! We had a Monkey themed party for her (she is called a Spunky Monkey at daycare). We had some friends and family over for hotdogs and let the kids play in the pool and sprinklers. The weather was perfect and it went really well!

Tutu Precious

I have such a prissy little girl!

Ella's 2nd Birthday Party

Berkley went to Vernon this past weekend to celebrate Ella Gunnels' 2nd Birthday! She had alot of fun playing with all the other kids and she finally got the chance to "jump" in the inflatables! She really wanted to open all the gifts herself! She will get the chance to open her own this weekend...her 1st Birthday is tomorrow!!! Time sure has flown by this first year. It seems like just yesterday that I was holding her in my arms for the first time! I've posted some pictures from this past weekend's activities!!
