A Fall Favorite:)

Made my heart go flip flop

I've decided...

my boys can sleep anywhere.

Everyone knows that when babies are little, they sleep a lot, wherever, no matter what you are doing!

The older they get, it's not as easy...yet, my boys seemed to be able to still sleep anywhere they lay their heads down:)

Whether it be in Mommys arms, Daddys shoulders, with family and friends, in the car or stroller, at the pool, in the boat, in a park swing, in the church nursery and even on the hardwood floor....

......I've definitely decided they can sleep anywhere........

...any time....

...any place....

A Day with Daddy

Back to the orchard we went...

but this time -- with Daddy!

He got to race Layton down the slide....and it was pretty much a TIE!

and watch Luke climb up the stairs like a BIG boy and slide down with his brother.

 I loved watching the sun begin to fade as the boys continued to

slide,

and run,

and jump,

and pet,

and just enjoy being together....

Yet no orchard trip is complete without the infamous caramel apple.

or one last trip down the CIDER SLIDER!

or the sweetest enduring look from your youngest son:)

We Love days with Daddy! 

Do brown cows make chocolate milk?

Layton's preschool class had a field trip to a local dairy barn. It was his very FIRST evvvveeerrrrr trip with his classmates and I was really excited to be the Momma tagging along to experience this sweet first:)

 His adorable class all saying, "cheeessseee!"  for the paparazzi of parents!!

Layton is standing by Cole, his new best friend.  I hear about him everyday......it's sweet to see friendships develop. 

and......
oh, and of course, Luke tagged along with me too:)

He had a few minutes to play before the tour of the farm............
(and be stalked by mom with her camera, good thing he isn't embarrassed of me......yet!)

Then we loaded up on Mr. Chaney's wagon and went to the dairy barn.....

where the kiddos got a first hand look......

at Bessie. 

Mr. Chaney did an incredible job at teaching the children about how Bessie produces milk, what it's used for and why it is so important.

One little one asked, "Do brown cows make chocolate milk?"
Bless his heart......don't you just love preschoolers:)

Petting the baby calf was the highlight of the day......

even for Luke.

and Mr. Chaney took right up with my baby boy!

oh, wait.....maybe this was Luke's favorite part of the day.....

and this was mine.....

seeing Layton and his best buds hugging (yes, hugging  - four year old boys can hug!)

Seriously, he has the best little friends.  And to think, he didn't know ANY of them in August.

It truly has been a blessing this year.

You should have seen the Mommas behind the scene, we almost teared up. 

Love it:)

Hay rides, Cows, Hugs, and Lunch.....

........ finally  ---->  PLAY:))

I'd say without a doubt that Layton's first field trip was a complete success.  Mommas got to interact and visit with other parents, kiddos loved every single minute of the farm (& ice cream) and what better way to end the day than to have play time with your new friends.

And it was sort of like Luke's first field trip too.  I loved seeing both boys have such a good time. And so did I!

Such a good time = Such a good nap!
