Sharing

So I decided that I need to share all these yummy treats I'm making because I'm eating way to many of them. These are the pumpkin cream-cheese muffins I made yesterday, there were 24 of them and I alone have eaten way to many so Jacob's parent's and grandparent's will be the recipients of some of these fantastic muffins. Plus I wanted an excuse to use these cute tags I found at this site. What's my next goodies giveaway you might be thinking...well you can see it here thanks to Stephanie for sharing. Needless to say I'm in a creative mood and others are benefiting from it, sorry if you don't live near me you'll just have to drool over the pictures.

Fall Goodness



I really do like the start of fall, pulling out the sweaters and hoodies, drinking hot chocolate, and seeing the leaves change. I decided to make these amazing pumpkin cream cheese muffins thanks to my dear friend Mary who introduced them to me. I messed up on the topping, I got a bit distracted because Olivia woke up right while I was making it and forgot to add the butter. Never-the-less they turned out great and I think I've already had like 4 today and of course I paired it with a nice cup of hot chocolate. Yeah for fall!

Take Two

So we decided to try out another pumpkin patch this past week since Jacob could actually move around. We went to Woodland Farms and the best part about this place is its free except for your pumpkin. Savannah had so much fun in the bouncy house and on the hay ride. She kept following Jacob around saying all the pumpkins were so cute, we finally had to pick one out for her because she couldn't make up her mind. She's so silly and we had lots of fun.

To Each Their Own


Nine times out of ten this is how I find Olivia in her swing. If I slept like this I wouldn't be able to use my neck for days but it doesn't seem to bother her.

Best Time eVER!

That's right! We went to the pumpkin patch and had the best time eVER!!! Things are much more fun now that Savannah is older, needless to say she had a blast and was of course adorable in her ladybug costume. Olivia was a pumpkin and was super cute too! We went with some friends of ours who also have two girls who are the same age as ours. Aren't the two babies cute.

Now I totally think the place we went costs way to much, its $10.60 per adult, Jacob luckily hurt his back and didn't come with us. (Although him hurting his back is not good cause he can't move but I'm going to focus on the pumpkin patch now.) For costing so much it really was a great time and I'm glad the girls were free. When we got there we went over to the pig races. They had pig races! Savannah and I loved it and had fun cheering for the adorable little pigs. Then we headed over for a hayride. Once again tons of fun, and it even put Olivia to sleep.

Savannah had lots of fun at the petting area, she even let the goats lick her hand which totally surprised me. She is usually very afraid of the animals but this time she pet the ponies and like I said let the goats lick her hand.

It was fun dressing up the girls in their costumes and they really did have fun. Well at least I know Savannah did and Olivia was quite content to sit in her car seat most of the evening. One last attraction to tell you about is this giant in ground trampoline except it wasn't really a trampoline it looked like a huge elongated balloon. Anyway Savannah couldn't get enough and had fun jumping around and bouncing all over the place. Needless to say it was a vERY successful night.

Pictures Say A Thousand Words

Savannah climbed into Olivia's crib with her the other day. Aren't they so sweet.
Jacob's mom made these pj's for Savannah and as you can see she's quite smitten with curlers.
These are my favorite pj's Olivia has right now. She was just so happy chillin in her crib.

Randomness

So I thought I'd share some of the funny, cute, and just plain randomness that has been said or done at the house this weekend.

Savannah and Jacob were snuggling on the coach Sunday morning and Savannah's puppy was lying on the floor. She realizes that he's on the floor and she wants him so she looks a Jacob and says, "Puppy. Go!" Apparently it was suppose to motivate him to be quick in retrieving her puppy.

Shortly after that Savannah looks at Jacob and says she wants to eat. Now we've already had pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup and homemade whip cream, which she ate a lot of. Now what does she ask for? Cake. She then walks into the kitchen, climbs into her chair, and buckles it. Then she sits and patiently waits for Jacob or I to get her some cake. Needless to say she didn't get any since it was 10 in the morning.

Last night Savannah was having a hard time going to sleep. Jacob had already gone in with her twice so I gave him a sleeping Olivia and went in with Savannah. She was just so cute so I couldn't resist laying down with her because she kept saying, "I scared. I scared." I mean how could you leave her alone after that, and I was exhausted too so I quite enjoyed lying down. I must have fallen asleep because I suddenly heard Olivia fussing in her crib. I decided to get Olivia and bring her into Savannah's bed. This made Savannah's night. She got so excited that Olivia was going to lay down with us, she moved her blankets over and scooted over to make room. She kept saying, "baby make room" and "sissy". It just melted my heart to see how much Savannah really does love her "sissy" and doesn't seem to mind sharing my attention with her.

One last thing that was cute was Saturday morning. We told Savannah we were going to watch church on TV this weekend since it was Conference. Once she learned this she grabbed Jacob's hand and took him into her room where she decided she needed to get dressed. What did she pick out to wear? Oh just one of her totally girly-girl dresses that she wears to church, which she then wore all day long. Oh how I love her.
