Pumpkin Patch at Sweet Berry Farms

Hayden's hugging Rowan-not strangling

Notice the hand on foot...
Notice Irene's Fingernails...


They are staring at goats that climbed the trees...

Enjoying the hayride...

Hayden picked those flowers for Grandmama...

I love pigs...

Poor Rowie wishes he could ride the pony...

We went to the Pumpkin Patch at Sweet Berry Farms with Aunt Irene, Lou, and Uncle Chad. We fed the goats, painted pumpkins, did a hayride, ate homemade pumpkin ice cream, picked flowers and okra, and enjoyed the Fall/Halloween spirit. It was so much fun, and we hope to go back again this Halloween season. We also went to the Hairy Man Festival (http://hairymanfestival.org/) at the park near my house with Grandmama. Hayden rode a pony, fed the animals in the petting zoo, enjoyed the inflatable slides and jumping castles, ate a snow cone, and had fun with Rowan.

Sleeping Angel #1

Sleeping Angel #2

It is still perfect weather here to go to the lake. Lou, Heather, and her boyfriend Billy went with us to the lake. We brought along Rudy's BBQ, plenty of drinks and snacks. We swam in our favorite spot and then watched Lou & Billy wake board. It was Billy's first time, so I don't have any pics of him "getting up." Lou "got up" every single time, even though he rarely gets a chance to wake board. The BBQ was delicious, the company couldn't have been better, and Rowan and Hayden loved swimming in the water. Kevin even took Hayden to go look at all of the turtles on the log by the shore. I didn't get a chance to wake surf, but I did get to sit back , hold on to 2 sleeping angels, and watch people try to wakeboard for the first time. Life doesn't get much better...

It's Raining Men

When Homer (my mom-aka Grandmama) was over a few weeks ago, we let the boys play naked in the sprinklers/sandbox. What a sight to behold. It was hard to find G rated photos to post, but I think you can imagine...

My Lover Boy

Rowan has a heart-shaped tongue. It fits perfectly with his personality. He is my lover boy.

Hayden and Shaylee

Hayden and Shaylee try to go on at least a few dates per month. Here are some pics from their outings. Hayden basically just follows Shaylee around like a love sick puppy. He's a completely different person around her. Kevin does the same thing. Like father, like son...

My dad's favorite act (honestly, he was very good)

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of going to Molly's belly dancing recital. Not to be biased, but Molly was by far the best one there (well, the Aladdinesque guy was a close second, but my dad wouldn't know-he couldn't keep his eyes on that grown man as he shook his hips). Molly was probably the least experienced, too. They served delicious gyros there, and I can't stop thinking about them. Hayden had a great time cheering on Auntie M with his "boyfriend" Nathan. Rowan had a good time grooving to the music. There were even 2 pregnant belly dancers. Perhaps next time I'm sick with child, I can make others sick with my belly dancing...
