First Field Trip - Honeysuckle Hill Farms

Today was Britton's first field trip with preschool. He was so excited to be going to the pumpkin patch!
I was hoping to just go with him but he really wanted Paityn to go along. No matter how many times I asked, he wanted her to be there too!
He sat really well and listened with the rest of his class. That is Mrs. Candi, his teacher, beside him.
Next it was time to see the animals.
Nash and Britton thought the baby chickens were pretty cool.
Britton's favorite thing was riding on the wagon behind the tractor.


He jumped on the corn popper with Miss Madrian.
I tried to get a picture of them together but Paityn was really concerned about the grass!
Then of course when she looked he was looking at her!

After picking out a pumpkin for himself and Paityn we headed to the hay to play. Reed couldn't get up so Britton pulled while Nash pushed!


After the pumpkin patch, I had to head to work. When I picked Britton up, he was exhausted. He hadn't had a nap and asked to go home instead of soccer. I managed to get him to soccer practice but wasn't sure how it would go since he was so tired. He got right out there and ran and kicked so hard! I had gotten a bunch more pictures but they were all blurry because he was always moving!
Go big brother!

Getting Big

Tuesday - Paityn is officially getting big!
She is crawling, pulling up, and can sit up by herself from laying down. Where is the year going?
Wednesday - Britton is just the best big brother! He helps her, makes her laugh and gives her toys to play with.
He always checks to make sure a toy is safe for Paityn with me before he gives it to her!
Slow down time!

Don't Slow Down!

Friday -After the zoo and errands, we got ready to head to church for a women's conference. Brandon was going to guest star as Richard Simmons, it was hilarious! He was a great sport.
Paityn is also learning to clap. It's so cute!
Then we headed out to the SHS football game, followed by fifth quarter at the church.
Saturday - We headed back to church for the women's conference and then to Britton's soccer game.
He kicked the ball a couple of times and really tried hard.

No one on his team was really interested in playing this time.
They gave each other some fives.
Coach Cody really tried to get them interested.

A few minutes before the game was over, Britton looked at me and said "I'm done mama, I don't want to play anymore" He went and sat with the rest of the team. He did great!
Sunday was really busy with church again.
Monday - Britton and I made some cookies while Paityn watched.
It's getting cool outside!

Zoo

This morning I headed out to the zoo with the kids.
It was absolutely beautiful!
Unfortunately, a lot of the animals were hiding or not out but we still had a great time.
I think Britton's favorite were the zebras today.

It was so nice to share a quiet morning out with my two kids!
They were extremely well behaved. I even had a chance to stop and run a couple other errands after the zoo!
