Buddies and Random

These two friends love to play on this piano and sing together!  This was the first time they did on the day Jessica and I were canning salsa...  Today I didn't capture any pictures, but they were doing it again as we canned tomatoes.

Ev teaching Eleo how to read music!  ;)

Two buddies just playing and singing together...

And here's a video of the two...

Another day, Jessica and I went walking with our girls and fed the ducks at the Walking Track.  Then towards the end of it, we spotted some deer in the woods just in the center of our walking Track.  We even got a glimpse of a Buck!

And there he is!  So cool to see one in person! Usually we only see doe and fawns 'round here.

Shopping at Walmart and Evelyn had $5 to spend from Nana...  So, she decides to get a watch!  All chosen and paid for on her own!  :)

Peppa the Pig.

Our Craft Night group of mothers and toddler children went to the splash pad last Monday.  Then enjoyed a nice picnic and play in the park afterwards.  

Baby Sophie was a big hit for Evelyn and Eleonora!

From one face...

To the other...

Sprinkler play plus a homegrown pepper = Happiness!!  :^)

Signs

A few signs I just finished...

Rhea County Fair 2016

So, since my good friends have already posted about their Rhea County Fair adventures, I figured I'd better hop on the bandwagon and tell you all about our experience...

Just a little tractor ridin'!  ;)

Getting ready for a little face painting... 

Ain't she cute! 

I love this Selfie!...  As we were watching some calves being judged.  

I would love for Evelyn to be able to do this!  We would just need to move a bit more to the country with more land!  ;)  {dreaming...}

I talked to Jessica about maybe entering some of our canned goods next year... But this overwhelming amount of home canned foods makes me a little bit hesitant now!  Ha!  Who would have known there would be this many?!?  But I am glad to know there are still lots of women who enjoy to can as Jess and I do!

A fun little couch made out of hay bales, blankets and pillows just outside the building with the judged crafts, canned goods and cupcakes in it.

Evelyn went on her first horse ride... Or in this case, mule ride...  Thanks to this nice boy who gave her a free lift on his trusty steed!  :)

Here are some fun little houses that somebody made in a children's play area.

A little petting zoo... But really there weren't any animals you could actually pet, just look at.  Evelyn still loved it though!

She also got to milk a cow. Well, a wooden one anyhow!  :P

We look forward to checking it out again next year!

Hello Again!

Hello friends!! I'm sorry I haven't done any posts lately, but I guess I have been a bit busy and am dealing with a less-than-3 year old who has just recently decided to cut out her naps!  It's all right though, because she is sleeping 12 hours straight at night now...  But I sure am wore out by 7 p.m. because I have had no break all day!  Even this post will not be too exciting, I will just share a few pictures I've been taking on my phone with the idea of blogging about them...  :)

First eye doctor experience.  She did great and loved it!! 

Third haircut of her tiny precious life! 

Hanging out with her friends.  :)

Another trip to the Tennessee Aquarium.  This time with Nana.  

Have you ever seen such a cool flower? ...  It had lavender flowers first, then white one's coming out of those and then red one's out of those.  So cool! 

Also, did any of you know that if you touched certain butterfly wings, that the pattern and some of the design would rub onto your fingers?  If you look closely, you can even see some of the shimmery glitter that is natural to those beauties.  

This has always been a funny favorite of ours at bath time.  ;)

And dress-up is oh, so fun...  no matter what the occasion! 

Largest watermelon of the season. 

Claire comes home! 

Happy weekend to all!
