THE PUMPKIN PATCH

Carter and Karlie went to the pumpkin patch with all their cousins on their dad's side of the family this weekend. It is the same pumpkin patch they go to every year. It is not too far from their house. Karlie with all of her boy cousins. I think she holds her own pretty good with them.
They said that Karlie was not afraid to try anything.

Where is Karlie?

ABBY AT THE ZOO

Looks like she was having fun.

MODELING CONTEST

Michelle entered Carter and Karlie in a modeling contest. This was the photo shoot for the contest. Don't know if they will win or not but the lady was able to get some cute pictures of them. I think she followed Karlie around is the way she ended up getting good ones of her. Of course these pictures are just proofs and are property of The Happy Chick Photography.

Karlie looks like a little mini Michelle.

ABBY

When I first looked at these pictures,my first thought was I bet Abby is happy she doesn't have to share her stroller with cousin Karlie.

COOL, FINALLY

It is 56 degrees here, with light rain. I drove around today and took some pictures of the animals. We had a brutal Summer. We had over 50 days with 100 degrees or above. At least one day it was 113 degrees and the norm was 106 to 107 degrees most days. We also had a drought. I can only remember it raining two or three times the entire summer. And of course, we had the grass fires that we ran from. These animals seem to be so happy today, with the cooler temperatures and didn't seem to mind the rain at all. They have suffered this Summer also, more than us, because they were out in the weather.

MY GRAND BABIES

After an hour of trying, this is the only picture that turned out really good of the three of them. The blocks also had to be in the picture or no picture. Notice that Abby stacked her blocks neatly beside her and Karlie threw hers as far as she could.

THE PARK

The kids went to the park yesterday. They enjoyed it. Kim ended up getting lots of cute pictures of them. We didn't end up doing our birthday dinner at a restaurant. Tracy and Michelle made us dinner at the house. It was really good.

The kids have enjoyed being together so much, I wish they could be together more often. There has been a few instances of Abby and Karlie fighting over toys. But overall they have gotten a long really good.
This may be picture overload.

ENTERTAINING

Well, we took them to get their picture made yesterday. All I can say is that it was very entertaining. Carter and Abby was very good but Karlie did not want to sit and have hers made. She kept running off. The photographer was finally able to get one of all three after about an hour of trying. I should have them on Wednesday so I can post them.
Michelle is always telling me that Karlie has a little attitude and yes, I was able to see a little of that attitude yesterday.
Melvin and Tad went to the OSU game in Stillwater yesterday. So, after pictures we picked up something to eat and then let the kids play in the sand box. Later, we went to get ice cream. They have had so much fun playing together. Abby is going to miss them, because she doesn't have other kids to play with.
Today is the birthday dinner, but not sure it is going to work everyone going to a restaurant or not.

Carter just played on the patio. I guess there was not room for him in the sandbox with the little girls. He made a levee, but the little girls kept knocking it down.

THEY'RE ALL HERE

Kim and Abby arrived yesterday afternoon. Today we all went to the outlet malls in Oklahoma City. We all took turns watching Abby in the food court while others shopped. They have a playground inside the food court so Abby could play.

Eating her big old slice of pizza in between playing.

Michelle and family arrived tonight. Abby and Karlie have gotten along pretty good and I think enjoyed playing together. Carter just sits and plays his DS. Aunt Tracy bought him a new game for it.

One thing we didn't anticipate was that they would both want the stroller. We have lots of baby dolls but only one stroller. So, it may mean a trip to Target tomorrow for another stroller. That is about the only time they haven't gotten along.

Abby loves for Karlie to chase her. We are taking them to have their portrait made tomorrow. Wish us luck.
