Beautiful Fall Days...

We have had some great weather the past couple weeks...Yay!!!! Of course there are times I try to shove every outside activity into these nice days that it starts to stress me out and then I'm too busy stressing to enjoy the nice day...I really need to work on that (but I know my sister has the same problem-so I don't feel so crazy!)...Anyway-here are some cute Fall pics of the 3 little ladies...

Makenzie, Abbie's BFF (and cousin) even came over to join the fun...

I LOVE when I get to capture Ella's "real" smile...it is the cutest!

Wordless Wednesday...

PONY PARTY!!!

The girls celebrated their 4th birthdays last Saturday with a little Pony Party! The past several years we have celebrated the girls birthdays together since their actual birthdays are a month apart. We decided to go for a pony party theme since Sophie and Ella love horses (well actually Sophie LOVES horses and Ella technically likes horses). Anyway we had a great time and the girls really enjoyed the pony rides. Even Abbie got to take a ride-and LOVED it...she actually signed "more" when the pony stopped-very cute!


I was not really sure how to dress the girls "western" but tried as best as I could. Of course I found adorable pink cowgirl boots at Target.com but then waited to late to order and their sizes were gone...so I splurged and bought a pair of pink leather cowgirl boots from CWD Kids...I really could not justify buying two so they have to share...sorry girls! Anyway...here are some cute pics from our Pony Party!

Abbie was even sporting the Western look!

Even the little city girl took a pony ride!

I love this pic...Sophie was in her glory leading the horse...she loves her horses!

Time for presents

Blowing out their candles...

Overall it was a great day and the girls had a ball...I love my little girls!

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we all went to a pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins. We had a great time! We were able to visit with some cute farm animals and then head out to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins...the "pick your own pumpkins" were only $2-can you believe that??? So mommy picked up a couple extra to decorate the house...here are some cute pics from our day...

How gorgeous is this sunflower field...I LOVE NY in the fall (but for the record I still hate the high taxes!)

Believe it or not I did not force this photo op-Abbie just decided to take a rest on this pumpkin!

I HEART this one!

See you later 3!

Sophie turns 4!!!!

My Sophie Hope turned 4 on Wednesday...still can't believe it. Where did my little baby go? Last year I made a little list of cute things she was doing at that age so I thought I would go ahead and do that again...

*LOVES to wear skirts and dresses-does not like pants!

*Continues to LOVE horses

*tends to reverse compound words (ex. cakecup, applepine, hairdog, newbrand)...it seriously is soo cute!

*When she is excited she turns into the SWEETEST little girl-I always wish these moments would last a little longer but they usually last an hour tops

*Loves to dress up as a princess and then will stand in front of you until you tell her how beautiful she looks

*She still calls "Christmas" "Chrimpis" and uses the phrases "Ever the time" -which means frequently and "A couple more whiles" for a little bit longer

*She will stick out her tongue when he is nervous or excited-makes for some interesting pictures!

Oh I love my little Sophie...Happy Birthday, Sweet Sophie!

For the past couple of years I have taken Sophie and Ella to the store on their birthday morning to pick out doughnuts...Sophie picked out yummy halloween doughnuts!

*notice the tongue

She was allowed to unwrap one present in the morning...
