Corn Feed at PD Farms

Addison, Kennedy, and I made the trek to Elgin, OR to my dad's farm for their annual corn feed. We left after I got off work on Friday and returned home on Sunday. It was my first trip with just me and the girls and all in all it went okay, although we sure did miss Brian. I had to make a few stops to feed Kennedy and to use the rest room, and other times I wished that I could stop to use the rest room but couldn't because the girls were asleep and well you can't just leave your kids in the car....although I am sure some people do!!! The girls had a nice time with the grandparents, and other family. Addison had a fun time playing in the pumpkin patch, picking strawberries, eating peaches, and helping Papa Phil feed the cows, she even got to see her cow Mabel and her new calf. We all had a nice time and Addison played hard and fell asleep before we even made it from my dad's farm to Elgin, which is only a few miles from town.

Trip to Enchanted Forest

This past weekend we decided to load up and to to the Enchanted Forest. I have never been there, but Brian had and said Addison would love it. So, we took advantage of the nice day and went with Brian's family, including Brandon, Cooper, Jeff, Cheryl, Scott, Sonja and Ethan. It was so much fun! There were fun rides geared toward the little ones and there were little scenes from all of the kids books/movies from our generation, such as Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, etc. It wasn't super expensive either or crowded. I would definitely go again!

What's new?!

Here are a few pictures of Kennedy in her tutu. It was so cute, when I put it on her, she didn't know what to do, she was rolling around like a dog chasing it's tail trying to get it in her mouth. She is so funny, she likes to chew on her dresses and she did the same with the tutu.

Both girls are changing every day. Addison is still learning the alphabet, we are teaching her a few letters a week, now she has learned A-S and is doing really well. It is so funny, she say "A" like me, "B" like daddy, "K" for Kennedy, "L" like mommy and to an outsider they would think....doesn't daddy start with "D" and mommy start with "M". She is too funny!

Kennedy is army crawling all over the place. She is still our super happy baby and only gets upset when she really means it....which is hardly ever. She is getting so much hair and it even curls in the back. It is so cute! As you probably already know, Addison loves dressing up as a princess, so when we were in Texas at the end of August Brian and I got Addison a fancy Snow White costume with an adorable headband and even little mary jane shoes that light up! She isn't spoiled or anything....haha!

Brian and I are just working and trying to get out house in Texas free of our renters and on the market to sell. Brian is actually driving down to Texas with his dad and Uncle Scott to finalise all of the details and sign up with a realtor. The realtor seems positive that the house will sell by Thanksgiving, which we are hoping too, but of course it is their job to say that. Keep your fingers crossed! We are sad though, we had to pass on our vacation to NYC this year so that we could get everything done and only had so much vacation, but once the house sells we will be more free to do other things.

I am also getting ready to make our Halloween costumes. I don't like to dress up, but I told Brian that I would this year and we are hoping to do an Alice in Wonderland theme. Addison will be Alice, Kennedy the Cheshire cat, Brian the Mat Hatter and myself the Queen of Hearts. I may be biting off more than I can chew but I will do my best.
