guess what...

can you hear that??

it's the sound of olivia proving me wrong again...

like any girl, she has the right to change her mind as many times as she wants to.

so, what did we do sunday 10-10-10? everyone on facebook was all "10-10-10 > do something memorable". and Olivia did...

any guesses???

here is a hint: they are little, blue, and are very sparkly

its just about "go time" - very excited

still excited...

nerves are setting in...a little less excited

done - yowza - it hurts a little

after her first look in the mirror

mama told me i am beautiful with sparkling sapphire earrings!

one happy customer!!!!

no tears, no yelling, she didn't even squeeze my hand

she is one tough cookie with pierced ears!

Pumpkin Farm Trip 2010

the girls & i made our annual trip to the wagon wheel pumpkin farm last weekend. it was very cool & windy. if i had a crystal ball i would have waited until this past weekend - it was "unseasonably warm" {that was for you bestie}

runny noses & watering eyes aside - the girls had a blast. so in turn, i had a blast. jarrett was busy in the field, so he missed out on a lot of fun. we are planning another trip to a bigger pumpkin patch with more things for the kids to do - maybe this coming sunday.

anywho...here are some of the like 50 pictures i took of our day.

she is oh so clever - take my picture with the $6 pumpkins since i am 6 now!

so i put rachel by the $2 pumpkins but she wouldn't sit by the sign showing the price...

fun with the tube again

aaaah the corn maze - sign says "children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult" and there is a good reason for that. the maze was huge this year.

rachel saying "come on mama, come on"

this is the face olivia made because she blamed me for being "lost" in the maze

the girls trudging along in the maze - for real we were in there a long time

my miss livie & me --- i love this picture!!!

touches of fall

I ♥ Fall!!! It's my most favorite of the seasons!!! Now that it is the second week of October fall is in full swing.

The trees are starting to change.

Most farmers are wrapping up their harvest, mine is just starting.

I did my fall decorating outside.

Inside too...
