We spent the afternoon at the park with Aunt Amy and Leo :) It was beautiful outside and the kiddos had a great time! Leo turned 8 months old today (that is why you will see an 8 on his shirt) I love the time we get to spend together! What a blessing :) It makes being away from Scott much easier when we are surrounded with family. Love you sis!

Happy 30th Birthday Scotty

This past Sunday was my precious husbands 30th birthday! I apologize that this post was delayed! As most of you know Scott is working in Florida and was not able to be home with us on his birthday. This was SO hard for me! We have been celebrating birthdays together for 12 years now and I was just SO SAD to spend this one apart. In honor of his big day here a few of my favorite pics and 30 reasons why I love Scott SO much! Enjoy!

16. I love how you truly never had a preference on having sons our daughters...just precious children.

28. I love the way you call me baby

29. I love the way you make me feel beautiful (even at 9 months pregnant)

30. I love YOU for you in every way and LOVE that I fall more in love with you every day...which I didn't even think was possible.

I can't believe that is already 30.... I had so many more :) I pray that we have at least 70 more birthdays together and someday we can be little old people in our rocking chairs and I can tell you 100 reasons why I love you!

You are the best husband and father and I can't wait to see what else life brings us.

Okay so this post is going to have lots of pics...I had such a hard time choosing just a few to use :) We had SO much fun spending the day with Aunt Amy, Uncle Adam, and Leo! We started the morning out at the Louisburg Cider Mill for the fall Cider Fest....

We enjoyed the delicious apple cider and cider donuts! :)

The girls had a blast on all the inflatables :)

Mal fell in love with this kitty and was very sad daddy is allergic...the nice lady let Mallory name her...she chose to name her Jenna :)

Buddy enjoyed snuggling up with his mama in his fabulous fall gear :)

My little cuties enjoying the day :)

After the cider mill we headed off to Deanna Rose Farmstead...one of our most favorite destinations :)

As you can tell it was a gorgeous day and we had a great time! The goats were especially interesting today...the got a nibble out of Mallory and Amy's shirt...I just love Amy's expression in the aftermath :)

and I will end with this pic of some of my favorite people :) yes I know I am like a huge alien in the middle (36 weeks) and Amy looks like she is one of my kiddos but it is still a keeper (no you won't see it on facebook this is for private blog reader eyes only! ha!)

I have no words...the love I have for our precious daughters and my precious little nephew is just such an amazing blessing to me. God is Good!

I snapped a few pics of Mimi playing with Leo in the front yard the other day...she loves him just a little bit ;) I LOVE THESE! Pure JOY!

While we were enjoying our bird feeder crafts the other day we had our best buddy Leo with us. Mallory decided it was time he was introduced to BUBBLES :) He seemed to enjoy them but really he just wanted to get the big bottle and tip it over ;)

and if you are wondering where our other little princess was....she was happily sprinkling the entire yard with the leftover bird seed :) What a cutie!

The girls and I enjoyed some more gorgeous fall weather the other day while collecting pine cones and then making bird feeders out of them. I am sure most of you are familiar with the peanut butter and bird seed pine cone  feeders :) Oh how I love crafts! More than that I love watching the girls get so much enjoyment out of our crafts!! :)

The girls and I had a great time enjoying the fall weather while putting together our fall display in the front yard! They were very proud of their finished product ;)

They also enjoy some bubble and sidewalk chalk time...

Mal was very proud of her drawing that said "I love my sister"

Whit was a little skeptical...

Oh how blessed we are...I love these little girls SO much! Praise Jesus!
