Oh! Tannenbaum

 We head to Swedenburg's Tree Farm to cut down our tree.

 We finally found the perfect one!

 While Will and Tripp cut down the tree, all Charlie wanted to do was fuss about wearing his jacket and try to take it off.

 certain he can carry it himself...

It was a fun afternoon and pics coming soon of our tree decorated!

Cinderella Comes to Visit

I just wish I'd had my camera going the whole time.

These kids are funny!

Fun times in the tent!

Tripp was so glad he and Cinderella could finally ride on his 4 wheeler.

Bike riding time!!

Aren't they cute?! 

I attempted to get just *one* pic of the 3 of them all looking and smiling cute...

Here's the results:

 After all that activity, we had a pizza party picnic.

If I can ever get some videos to upload, I have some cute ones of these three!

Checking out last month's Harvest Moon

Tree Gnomes and Alligators!

My friend, Laura, and I took the kiddos out to the Noxubee Wildlife Refuge one morning last week.

The kids had a blast exploring and we decided to make a point to come out to this local gem more often.

Charlie really liked the turtle shell.

and this shell...

 Looking out over Bluff Lake behind the Visitor's Center

 Yep.

That's an alligator. 

 Putting their binoculars to use.

I promise they lined up in order on their own.

 Searching for bugs and mushrooms on old logs

Liza was so proud of her little leaf.

 I promise, we did line them up like this ;)
