Pre-halloween and Pre-birthday happenings

I guess it's obvious from this picture that Landry is trying like crazy to crawl.  So far she can't figure out the forward movement, but scoots backward and can hold the plank/push-up position for a lot longer than I can!

One of Avery's favorite things to do is go and get her baby sister out of bed.

Kanyon came over to play for his big last hoorah before going under house arrest for the winter.  He and Avery went on a wagon ride around the backyard and Avery showed him how she could throw rocks in the pond.  

Carving pumpkins with Daddy.

Paris has a Pumpkin Festival every October and we had another good time this year.  We got almost no good pictures because Avery has decided to only like the camera some of the time and that day was not a camera-friendly day.  Here's Landry though.

Avery did get a spin in the petting zoo which she of course loved.  She thinks all animals are the greatest things ever right now.

Which made the pony ride a hit too!

Unfortunately this is the only decent picture I got of Rosie and Avery together... still cute though.

Look at my little girls playing in the sandbox together.  Do you think they'll always play this nice?

Concentrating on her pumpkin painting...

Ta-Da!

Old pictures, but too fun to pass up

My parents came into town this weekend (the subject of a later post) and brought their camera.  There were some pictures on it that I had forgotten about from a mini-vacation me and the girls took to their house.  So these are outdated, but who cares, right?

This one is of Landry the very first time she sat up by herself.  She was just over 5 months old.

We went to feed the ducks at the neighborhood pond.

Me and Avery are big fans of the playground.

I thought this one was too sweet with her little legs crossed.

Avery also learned that she LOVES the trampoline at my mom and dad's.  I get a good workout now when we go.  It also happens to do wonderful things to her hair!

I LOVE this picture.  It's a framer for sure.  I was running around the neighborhood one morning and just happened by a garage sale with kids' clothes.  I took a look and found this cute little pinstripe baseball dress with my dad's old number on it in the Atlanta Braves colors.  It was perfect!  So we obviously had to have a photoshoot with Landry dressed in her tribute to her Pop.  That's his old helmet she has on and he is in his old cap.  I think this is one she will cherish (I know I do).

I'll leave you with this and go work on my next post.  I'm going to try multiple short ones instead of my typical ridiculously long ones.
