Pumpkin Patch

Image
We visited Down on the Farm Pumpkin Patch in Rainsville, Alabama a few weekends ago with Nanny, Braylon and Bailey.  The kids really enjoyed themselves.  I think we stayed for over 2 hours!!  We went to the Pumpkin Patch and picked out our pumpkins, the kids painted their pumpkins, played on the playground - slides, corn pit, feed the goat, visited the animals in the barn, rode the cow train, and Braylon shot the corn cannon. Enjoy these pictures from our visit. On the way to get our pumpkins! Abigail and Bailey with Abigail's pumpkin. Painting her pumpkin.   Sliding down the slide into the corn pit. Bailey, Braylon and Abigail in the corn pit. Silly kids. Trying to pet the donkey. She got scared when he turned his head toward her. Cow Train. (Braylon, Bailey and Abigail) Not a great picture, but all three kids.

It's been a while ...

Wow -- I can't believe it has been a year since I've updated Abigail's blog.  Not sure if anyone even follows it anymore ... but I'm going to try to update some in the next few days.  See ya soon!

DeKalb County Fair

We took Abigail to her first Fair when the DeKalb County VFW Fair was in Fort Payne.  She had such a great time.   Here are some pictures: With the prize winning pumpkins. Chickens More Chickens Baby Cow Baby Goat Pigs! Abigail's first Pony Ride!  She had so much fun! Pony Ride The Clown made Abigail a puppy balloon animal. The day after the Fair.  Abigail with her new "Cowgirl" Boots and her hair "Feather" from LaDora at the beauty shop.

Bubble Guppies ...

This weekend, Abigail posed a couple of questions about one of her favorite shows, Bubble Guppies. She wanted to know 1) When do the Bubble Guppies sleep and 2) When do the Bubble Guppies go potty?  She asked me and I was stumped on what to tell her, so I said, "Your daddy is really smart.  Why don't you go and ask him?"  She said "OK!" She walks into the living room where Dustin is and says, "Daddy, you're smart.  When do the Bubble Guppies sleep and when do they go potty?"  Dustin looks at me ... I just nod.  He says, "I think they sleep when you are sleeping and they go potty when you are not watching."  She thinks about this for a second and she agrees. I still can't believe that she thought about it so much that she had to ask us.  :o)

Olympics

It has been very fun to watch Abigail watching the Olympics this year.  She has been so cute!  So far we have watched the women's gymnastics, men's and women's swimming, and men's synchronized diving. While we were watching the swimming, she couldn't believe that the men's team was "naked" because she kept seeing them from the waist up.  Also, she thought it was "amazing" when they dove off of the starting block.  Then she cheered saying, "Go, Boys!!" and "Go, Girls!!" The women's gymnastics was the sport I thought that she would like the most because she takes gymnastics at daycare.  We watched the uneven bars and the balance beam and she decided really fast that she didn't think she could do what the gymnasts were doing on the balance beam (jumping, etc.). Finally, we watched the men's synchronized diving last night.  She thought that was really cool, but couldn't figure out why they were only weari...

Noccalula Falls

Abigail is spending some time with Meme, Granddaddy & Aunt Lala and Gran-Gran this week.  So, Gran-Gran decided to take everyone to Noccalula Falls in Gadsden.  Abigail got to spend some time there with her cousins Ty and Levi.  Casey sent us these pictures from their trip: Riding the Train around Noccalula. Oink Oink!!
