Tummy Time

We try really hard to give Mac tummy time everyday, but he really doesn't like it for very long. I took a few pictures yesterday. (I also love the outfit he is wearing...very season related...Roll Tide!)

He decided he'd had enough tummy time!

CB Fall Festival

CrossBridge held their 4th annual Fall Festival on 10/24/10. This is our 3rd year to go and we love it every year! Our first year Taylor was only 11 months old and she went as a white tiger and won the costume contest. Isn't she cute!

In 2009 she was 23 months old and she was a lady bug and they chose not to have a costume contest that year!

This year Taylor is almost 3 and brought with her Mac. She was a fairy and he was a cow! LOL!

They did the costume contest this year but didn't do it very well. The age ranges were too broad so it wasn't fair for the 1 and 2 year olds. They did birth through 2 years together. Seriously? Who is going to pick a 1 or 2 year old over an infant....maybe they will do it differently next year. Needless to say Morris won and even got a trophy! The other winner in his group was Ellie and she was a very cute 6 month old Lady Bug!

Last Year Taylor would not even consider riding the pony and look at what she did this year!!!

I was so proud of her! She loved riding Pony Heidi!

Mac sacked out after eating!

 Taylor with Mr. Ken...I am sure trying to get him to take her to do something! LOL! We love Mr. Ken!

My turn with the Tutu Tribe! Morris took his turn, I took Mine and then Julie took hers! It worked really well and it was a lot of fun getting to see them play together!

Going up the BIG slide....

and going down the BIG slide....

There they go again!

I got my workout that day chasing those two!

We all had a blast at the Fall Festival!

The Kid's Rooms

This week at Kelly's Korner, "Show Us Your Life" is all about Kids Rooms and Nurseries.

Taylor's Nursery put me in tears! Friends of ours did most of the work! I picked the bedding and they took it from there. The bedding is Lola from Banana Fish and I bought it from JC Penney. When we got to see the finished room I literally cried. I loved it!

The Mural is hand painted! I love the way it turned out and I will cry the day Taylor decides she wants to paint over it!

This is her Big Girl Room

Mac's Room also put me in tears...but for a totally different reason! LOL!! His room was hard b/c we did it all ourselves! I even made the Bedding! Honestly though....I love his room!

We still have a few things that we would like to do in there and we will get to it eventually. :)

Pumpkin Patch 2010

We went to the Old Baker Farm on 10/16/10 with my parents and the McQuillans. We had a great time! We started going to the pumpkin patch when Taylor was 11 months old and it became a hit. This is our 3rd year to go and I am glad the McQuillans could join us! We started the day off with a LARGE brunch at our house...complete with Eggs, bacon, sausage, buiscuts and gravy, (homemade) cinnamon rolls, and grits. It was so good!!

We got to the Pumpkin Patch around 12:00. Here are a few pictures from our day.

Taylor enjoyed playing in the dirt most! So her face, hands and clothes were covered!

She finally got in the cotton crate! She had so much fun! It was neat to watch her let go of the fear and just play!

Aren't they sweet!

My New Favorite Dessert!

My Mom told me about this recipe from http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/ for Apple Dumplings about 2 weeks ago. She said it looked easy and tasted amazing! So of course I love the Pioneer Woman and had to try it out!

You start with this (plus sugar and crescent rolls):

and you get this:

It looks amazing and tastes even better!!! Add a little Ice Cream and you have a dessert to share with company!
