Fall Fun

Happy Fall Yall!!!!! 
Nothing beats Fall in the South.  Great weather, beautiful leaves, pumpkins, and football!
We took Abby to Tate Farms for the first time this year and loved it.  She had a great time, and we've decided to make it a new tradition to go every year.

One of her favorites were the baby bunnies.  They were adorable!

We've also had some fun carving pumpkins.  We had our UT vs. AL game get together last weekend.  Of course the outcome of the game was terrible (no surprise).  Its all about good food and good company anyways!

 The kiddos were too cute playing ring around the rosie, and we had to keep a close eye on Mr. Carter to make sure he didn't eat any more dirt. :)

 I can't believe its already time for the Holidays again, but we are ready!!!

20 Months

There is a never a dull moment with you around.  It seems like everyday you do something new, and Mommy and Daddy can't believe how fast you are growing up.  You definitely keep us busy and entertained!
 
Practicing with a spoon.  Luckily you've gotten better since I took these pictures so its not quite such a mess.
Image
You love the Cat and the Hat show so when we heard he was going to be in town for a pancake breakfast we had to go. 
Image

We also got to go with Nana, Pap-Paw, Uncle Devin and Aunt Jasmine to Gulf Shores Labor Day weekend.  This was our first family vacation since before the tornado so we were all really excited.  You weren't a fan of the sand, but loved the waves in the ocean.  You would giggle the whole time until you got a taste of salt water.  
We went to the Gulf Shores Zoo one morning as well and got to get in the cage with baby lemurs.  You liked to pet their tails.
Image
Image
You love to splash in puddles and decided one day to sing and dance in the rain.  It was the cutest thing!!
ImageImageImage
  We've been doing a lot of coloring lately.  Such a big girl!

 And at least somebody in this house gets to wear all of the pretty hair bows we have.

Daddy's are the best!
