Daily life

Like everyone we are busy.  Liv spends lots of time in this being entertained by this sweet one.

Q is way busy.  One of her new endeavors this school year is American Heritage Girls.  Isn't she the cutest in her little uniform?

CornDawgs 2012

It was awesome.  Everyone had a blast.  We could have stayed there all day.  Can't wait until next year!

 

 Pay was looking for "tracks" as we were making our way through the corn maze.  These were stroller marks she found :).

Yet another reason why we love fall!

Fall Ball

Fall softball has geared up and Q is doing wonderfully.  B stepped up and is the head coach this season, he has really enjoyed watching the girls grow and improve.  Aren't they the cutest things you have ever seen?

 She has moved from hitting off the tee to being a "coach pitch" girl.  She is one mean hitter!

I  love watching little girl softball games!

Princesses on Ice

One yearly highlight for the girls is going to Princesses on Ice.  Once again it did not disappoint.  We were a bit nervous taking them (all of them) on a school night, but they did wonderfully.  I am so thankful we get to make these precious memories with the girls.

Liv did awesome.  It was like one big movie, she couldn't keep her eyes off the performance.

 Q loved Mini.

 This is Pay's reaction as Ariel came out.

 B's favorite guys.

 We even got a sneak peak of the Brave.  We haven't seen the movie yet, but the girls still liked it.

My favorite part of the evening was watching the girls' reaction to all the princesses.  Q is getting to an age where she doesn't talk that much about princesses, but deep down she was all about this night.  On the other hand, Pay is still pretty much obsessed with them and sang every word of every song.  She made my night with her pure joy just being there.
I can't wait until next year!

Baby Food

She loves it!

Over-Hauls

All three of the girls have worn them (and maybe even a cousin) and they are still the cutest things you have ever seen on them.  I know Daddy and Pop Pop are proud of their future builders. 

 I hope I will be able to tell their pictures apart 10 years from now.

God's Country

A few weeks ago B and I took the girls up to the mountains for the weekend.  Just us.  Just our little family.  Just perfect.  

Saturday we spent the day hiking around Vogel State Park.  All three little ones did perfectly.  We started with a hike up the mountain.

Pay kept on asking if what we were doing was actually hiking.  She was so excited every time we confirmed her question that yes, we were actually hiking.  The both found hiking sticks early on and had to stop to check out all of the wildlife along the way.

 Liv loved riding on Daddy and being outside.  Perfect combo.

Success!  We reached the top of the trail.

 Success!  Liv fell asleep quite quickly.

 Our little tree huggers.

 There is a B-E-A-UTIFUL lake at the park that has a waterfall on one end.  These shots were taken along the way.

 Is there any doubt why they call this place God's Country?

 We sat the girls on the railing by the waterfall, but couldn't get a great shot because they were a bit too close for comfort.

 After a long day of hiking everyone needs a break :).

 The rest of the afternoon was spent watching the Dawgs play

 and finding more treasures.

 Perfect weekend!
