October Update

I've always longed to have this idyllic fall where we did all sorts of fun activities and enjoyed it to the fullest. I can say confidently that this year we did. We have had so many good family times and have done so many fun activities. It has helped that the weather has been absolutely perfect. Here is a recap of some of those memories.

This was taken at the Waxhaw Harvest Fest. It was a lovely day and there was the perfect amount of chill in the air.

 I took this picture to try and duplicate the one we took the year earlier at the same festival in Waxhaw. Right below is the original. A lot has changed. My sweet girl is SO big and grown up. My mom and I both have much shorter hair now. Im wearing the same shirt in both pics except this year I was about 23 weeks pregnant. : )

 Bubbles!

 Mae's first pony ride with poppy!

 She bit her nails the entire time and never relaxed a bit.

 There was a bbq competition going on but it didn't start till 1pm and we needed to get home around noon. Shockingly all the bbq stands were giving it away for free. Shawn, my dad, and mae were in heaven. (She loves ribs. She'll eat them down to the bone. I don't even do that!)

 Rib baby!

 This is from a couple weeks ago. We had a chilly day and decided to "camp out" in the back yard. I set up the tent and made it super cozy. I used to eggshell mattress toppers, a down comforter and several other blankets. That's really the only way to camp in my book.

 Mae looks so goofy!

 We watched a movie and ate popcorn. This is of Mae pretending to go "nightnight"

 Mae was helping me bake banana peanut butter cookies.

 The mess was created from Mae "helping" me add all the ingredients. She had to finish off the peanut butter too. : )

 This girl knows how to relax.
