Apple Picking (or Buying)

A few weeks ago, we went up to to Elijay pick some apples. If any one is going soon, can you bring me home some more apples and I'll pay you!?!? I mean it - let me know!! We went through a bushel so much faster than I thought possible!!

We didn't actually pick very many. Many have already fallen, so we picked them at the market there. They also had lots of "fall farm" kid activities. Like pig races. ha. And who doesn't love a big jumpy pillow?!? And why don't they have these for adults?

Anyway - we are still here and enjoying our fall.





Somebody loves gum!

Fair 2012!

Continuing the tradition...

What a difference a year can make!! I love looking back at the years past at the fair. How each girl has changed, but their sweet smiles and faces stay the same!

This year, we had Nana, GG, Grandy and Granddaddy there with us!

This year, Bella and Farrah were PUMPED about the fair. We started talking about it about 2 weeks before, even going through the Photobook I have of last year's pictures. Both girls loved every ride. The Frog Hopper was again the favorite. The laughs coming from those two are contagious.

Bella is always so sweet to help Farrah with everything. She's like a second mom, always has been! She would get Farrah in the seat and strap her in every ride.





Everytime they went around this track, we got a thumbs up from Farrah!




My mom said, "Can't you see them at 16 and 14 years old in car together...?" Oh my gosh.

I hope they are always as close as they are now. Inseparable.


The bumper boats and the swings were probably the next favorite rides.

But Frog Hopper took the cake.



No words.

Learning to wait our turn, patiently. :)

You can tell I can't pick my favorite pictures. They are all so fun and colorful at the FAIR!! Chris is so good, thanks baby.



Well... maybe this could be a favorite:





Until next time, fair...


Past three years...

The Rock Ranch

We went to The Rock Ranch a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful day! 

I love this man. He is just my favorite person on the planet, in so many ways. 

We played in a teepee, fed some goats and rabbits, ground up some corn (random - ha!), took a hay ride - but the favorites were playing in the "Tiny Town" and the jumpy pillow. Enjoy the pics!

Fair 2011

Our hometown fair has become a tradition with my family. We went growing up, but I swear I love it more now.

I was excited about Farrah's age... and although she was thrilled with just being able to walk around, she was not a fan of many rides. She probably most enjoyed the chocolate milk from the petting zoo :) Bella had a blast!! She wanted to ride everything. We rode what we could while we visited with tons of friends that were also at the zoo, ate corn dogs, and tried some fried cheesecake.

Frog Hopper again this year:

Corndogs:

My parents and grandparents are part of the tradition :)

As well as Josie and the Masterson's & Queens

They are getting too big!


I love how this one shows me and Kristy with all of our girls... Izzie is in the stroller.


Farrah sat in this ride for about 10 seconds. We tried to tell her how much fun it was... but she'd rather just watch. She actually did want to ride the "cars" that were too big for her... next year, Farrah! :)



Petting zoo with Josie:

They loved "milking" the cow!

Chocolate milk was a prize for washing your hands as you left:


We had so much fun! Can't wait for next year! :)
