Fall Fun

We recently visited one of the many local pumpkin patches and corn mazes. There are several in our area and all have so many different activities for kids of all ages. Of course, once we got there, Taryne decided to be shy and didn't want to play on the slide or the bounce house or many of the other fun activities available. She did the corn maze with us all and she even went into the "petting zoo" area to check out the animals. It was not really a true petting zoo, but more of a "check out these farm animals" type of setting.

Ready to go!

Corn Maze...there were two different mazes.

Pumpkin Patch

This was the first day that it was cool enough for jackets in the afternoon. The weather was absolutely amazing! Taryne decided to carve a Hello Kitty witch on her pumpkin and Hayden "picked" Yoda to match his costume. Pictures of the carved pumpkins to come soon.

Gangnam Style

So, I bet you have seen the original Gangnam style video. If not, you should totally check it out. Well, Taryne loved the music and the moves. She now "knows" the moves to the song. And she requests to dance to it almost every day.

Enjoy!

First Haircut for the Boy

This past summer was Taryne's first haircut. She was well over 2 1/2 years old. About a month ago (yes, it has already been that long and I am just now taking the time to post about it, but hey, I forgot about it and just found the pictures) we decided it was time to cut Hayden's hair. He has some spots where the hairs were 2-3 inches long and other areas were super short, not to mention the small bald spot on the back of his head from laying on his back.

Luckily, boys are easier to give haircuts to at home than girls. I once tried to "trim up" a few spots by Kyle's ears and after that disaster, I am not allowed to cut hair. Ever. So, Kyle did the honors.

Since his haircut, his hair looks darker and is growing in nicely. And most importantly, we do not have any stranglers sticking out all funny.

Playin' in the rain

It rains a lot in Tennessee. It rains at least once a week, or so it has since we have been here. I am not complaining one bit because I LOVE the rain. And so does Taryne. Well, we all do. I think it is just different since in Texas it seems like it NEVER rains.

Since it rains more here than Texas and Taryne absolutely is in love with Hello Kitty, why not ask for Hello Kitty rain gear for her birthday. She did and that is what she received. And of course within a few days of receiving these items, she was able to use them.

And we have used them several times since. Our parking lot has one spot that makes a really nice size puddle.
