Hay Ride

Tonight Stella got to go on her first hay ride. She had a great time! The hay ride took us to a pumpkin patch were Stella and Dad picked out some pumpkins to take home and carve. Stella also had a good time following all the older boys around all night and was nice and tired by the time we got home! (Not sure why the photos did not post in order) Stella at the pumpkin patch.

Stella following Conner at the pumpkin patch, he did not want to be caught, hugs and kisses were not his thing!

Could you say twins? Stella is looking more and more like her daddy each day!

Colby fell asleep on the way home, pumpkin patch wore him out!

Stella rode home on Clint's lap, he was her buddy!

Daddy, I found the perfect pumpkin, its green!

1st Art Project

Today Stella did her first art project at Mother's Day Out. I tried to get a photo of her with it but it did not go so well. OK so the child has never been shy a day in her life but for some reason today she was trying to act shy.

The best photo that I was able to get of her with her art project.

She was more than happy to show us were her nose was located.

Mother's Day Out makes for a very tired little girl.

Gigi was trying to help us get a photo.

The art project, I know to everyone else this is a just plate with dots but to me it is a master piece!

Pumpkin Patch

Today I got to take Stella to the pumpkin patch. Tina and Carrie brought Taylor and Claire and the girls all had a blast running around. Stella, Taylor, and Claire in the wagon.

I hope everyone is having a fun fall!

Walking the Wagon

I often call Stella, Little Miss Thing but I probably should be calling her Little Miss Independent. Tonight was a perfect example of how much she is growing up and wanting to do things on her own. She wanted to walk instead of ride in her wagon this evening, we went ahead and brought the wagon with us thinking that she would ride in it once she got tired. That did not happen, she wanted to pull the wagon and she did the whole way! It was a long walk but she made it.
