Gentry's Farm


Graham had the best time inside the barn running through the hay maze.

Little one was not happy after the above family shot. We have concluded that she does not like to be hot and she does not like to be cold. She was so upset until we got back to the car and in her car seat all bundled up. She is such the little prima Donna. Can you see her smiling through the pacifier? It's almost like she saying. "see, I told you I would get what I wanted."



Gentry's Farm has so many fun things for little kids. Tractor pulled"hay" rides, petting zoo (goats, chickens and cows), corn and hay mazes, troughs filled with birdseed and toys for the kids to play (basically a sandbox without the messy sand), pumpkins, little toy tractors to ride, and lots of great photo ops.

This was were we started losing it. It really wasn't that cold but a little breezy. I even had her covered with the blanket before this photo, but that was not cozy enough for her. Needless-to-say she and I did not ride the hayride.

Meeting Anna Reid

Virginia and I dropped by to meet our newest friend, Anna Reid Stansell.
It is so amazing that Virginia is already 6 months old and so big.


Fun pics






Again, very hard to get pics of both children. :) This was about all Graham was going to give me.


Jumping on the bed. I was just trying to keep him from jumping on her or knocking her into the window.

So after the photo shoot I found Graham in his new favorite potty spot. Virginia's closet

Here he is telling me "No Mommy, close door." Apparently needing some privacy.







Halloween Crafts


Another day of rain mean more inside projects.

So today we colored with chalk and Graham practiced his scissor cutting. A little scary but no injuries.

I stole this idea from a magazine. They are so cute.

Watching us make Halloween happies

Virginia's Dedication


Today we celebrated our commitment to raising Virginia in a home focused on Christ.


She slept through most of her party.
Our family was sweet to drive up for her important day. Of course the camera died before we got all of the family photos taken.
Michael and Lucy came to share the day with us as well. Can you see that the boys were very serious about their toys? Neither was willing to let go of them for pictures.

6 Months Old

Our little one has moved into the 95% percentile for height.


Starting to get very curious of the sign.



Not so Hotty Toddy.

We headed down to the Ole Miss vs. Alabama game this past weekend. I had high expectations of getting a family picture in the grove since I had everybody dressed in rebel garb. As you will see, that didn't happen.

It was cold, rainy, muddy, and nap time-none of which makes for a good grove experience. Thankfully Virginia fell asleep but Graham was miserable.
My Mom took Graham to hear the band so we never got any pictures of him.

Proof that she made it to the groove.



Got your nose.

Got your nose KK.
Spending time with KK.

Visiting with Grandmother and Granddaddy.









Country Fun

Paw Paw grew Graham his very own pumpkin. GiGi found all of our old baby shoes and even Kevin's old cowboy boots that Graham is wearing in this picture.
Graham isn't afraid of "Man". Yes my Dad names his bulls. And yes, they have all been named Man to my knowledge. I think their humps are gross but Graham likes to pet the hump. YUK!

Sissy and KK out in the shop. That's what we call my Dad's garage and work shed. When we are home it is where Graham would prefer to spend ALL of his time.

I'm afraid my little one inherited my crooked smile.









Hotty Toddy.

Ole Miss was in town to play Vanderbilt today. The kids stayed home with Dad while we endured the chilly weather.

It was a little cool for Sissy so we tried on her new winter hat. Cutie pie!



Caroline's Princess Party

Graham went to his first Princess birthday party today. Please look carefully, our child is the only one not eating ice cream or cake. He's checking everybody out but it's not convincing him to put it in his mouth. We have a picky picky eater on our hands. He may be pickier than me, I didn't think it was possible.

Thank you for inviting us Caroline! We had fun playing on all of the play sets!
