Rachel's Birthday Party

I ate a lot of good food with PaPa!

The swing was my favorite!

Happy Birthday to me!

I love makeups!

I got a new bike! Yeah!

And the biggest present of them all was my brand new Barbie 4 Wheeler. Now Reese and I have 4 wheeler races. Talk about fun!

Rachel's 3rd Birthday Party

We had Rachel's 3rd birthday party at Garner Street Park in Springfield, TN. I still can't believe how fast my little girl is growing. Here are some of the pics from the party.

Completely Exhausted!

So here is a funny story. Rachel asked for some chips and dip while she watched her cartoons. After not hearing a peep out of her for a few minutes of course we went looking (that is not like my child). Her dad and I found her like this passed out with dip still all over her face and the bowls still close by. We figure this could be used for blackmail one day!

The Easter Bunny Came!

The Easter Bunny finally made it. Here is Rachel patiently waiting while Mommy had to sneak and set up the Easter Bunny stuff. Mommy was so tired she forgot to set it up the night before. Reasons why the candy and baskets were set up behind the chair. Hey you learn to be creative being a Mom!

Here is the big spread that brought the smile in the next photo.

The Easter Bunny succeeded in bringing joy to this little girl!

Easter

This year we had a Easter dinner at our house and invited the family. After the dinner we invited a few of our friends and their kids to join us for the Easter Egg Hunt.

Ready! Get Set! Go!

Here is Rachel and Mommy hunting Easter eggs!

Here is Rachel and her cousin Dalton sporting the Barbie jeep.

Warning! If you live in Robertson County beware we have a couple of bad drivers.

Christmas 08

So I am very sorry it has been so long since I have posted new pics. But here is my not so little girl. She is growing so fast!

Here is a couple of pics from our trip to the Opryland Hotel. Nana and Pa went with us and Rachel loved the lights. This could be a yearly tradition.

Here is Rachel opening her presents. Santa brought her a pink chair and the kitchen set you see behind her. Once she spotted the pink chair she placed it in the center of the room and did not leave the chair until all of her presents were opened. If you look below Rachel wanted to carry her presents to the chair and one was just as big as she is. However she made it to the chair and used her feet to hold the huge present in her lap. She was the cutest thing. Her personality is showing so much here lately.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Honeysuckle Hill Farms Pumpkin Patch on Saturday 10/18. Rachel had a blast. Hope you enjoy the pics!

The corn maze was fun!

We found a kitty inside the corn maze. It helped us find our way out.



The big box of corn was fun. And of course I tried to eat it!

Next Rachel found a tunnel through the hay and had to try it out. We thought we had lost her when we could not find the other side. All of a sudden she appeared.


And yes here we are milking a cow. Luckily it was fake because we were only getting water. This was a first for both of us.

Mommy and Rachel waiting on the Hay Ride!

As Rachel says "I got the pumpkin all by myself."

After it was all over Rachel fell asleep before we exited the parking lot. And look a pumpkin in each hand. A perfect ending to an exciting day!
