Future Farmers

We spent the past weekend at the Walker Farm in Ozark, AR.  The Walkers are good friends of the Moretons, and their kids grew up together.  Ironically I also went to school with Emily and Julie, but did not know that the Moretons knew them until after Dayne and I started dating.  How small is this world you ask?  Emily and I had our babies 3 weeks apart.  Canon Borum (Emily's baby boy) is 3 weeks older than Ivy Kate.  As you will be able to tell from the pictures below, they will be lifelong friends for sure!  

 

 

 I could just eat those yummy little toes!

 One of my favorites of Mr. Canon

 Hanging out in the nap nanny's discussing their options for lunch.  "Should I have 5 ounces or 6?"

We are now on rig #2.  When you're on the farm, you're gonna get dirty!

I just love those sweet cheeks!  Don't let them fool you though...there's fire behind them at times. :o)

"How many times are you going to take our picture, lady?!?!"

 

All tuckered out after an eventful morning.  We had to get recharged for our afternoon play date.

 While the babies took a nap, Miss Allie and Julie played Patty Cake.  Allie was quite the entertainment!

And the boys inspected their newly erected bridge over the creek.  

And the cows became very curious as to what I was doing with the large black box that I was flashing in their faces.

She was the ring leader.  "Be sure and get my good side, please."

"I just got my hair done, what do you think?"

"Are you ever going to put that camera down?  I'm trying to play with my mommy here!"

"Wait, did you say if I'd smile their might be a bottle in my near future??"

"Did you hear that, mommy?  She said I could have a bottle soon!"

"That was a dirty trick!  I'm a growing boy you know!"

Allie singing songs to Can Man

Belly full...wiped out from a fun day on the farm!  

Geet is so proud!

So is LaLa!  How fun to have 2 best friends get to spoil their grandbabies at the same time!

Someone got a hold of Pawpaw's glasses...."my, what big eyes you have!"

Monkey see, monkey do.  Allie had to have her turn with the glasses as well.

Not a happy camper for having to give Pawpaw's glasses back.  This little cowgirl had a long day as well.

We had a great time.  Thanks for having us, Walkers! 

 

2 Months!

Its very hard to believe that 2 months has already come and gone since Miss Ivy Kate made her debut into this world.  She has definitely blessed us with so many wonderful memories and laughs.  It saddens me that she will start daycare tomorrow as I return to work.  As I write this post she is sitting in my lap as I can't seem to put her down at all today.  Please say a prayer for both of us tomorrow.

 Sporting our "Geet" rig.  The outfit says it all, that's for sure.

 This was at about 5:15 a.m. on a Saturday morning.  She just wanted to make sure we were awake too.

 She's definitely started to grin and laugh a lot more.  I just love that sweet face!

 We love to lay around and kick our legs!  

 Thanks to our cousin, Julie, we have a Bumbo seat now.  She loves to sit in it and watch me get ready in the mornings.

 This is probably one of my favorite pictures.  She grins in her sleep all the time and I happened to catch this moment one morning.

 We send Geet a picture every day so that she always gets to see my sweet face.  It was her birthday earlier this month so this was her daily picture.

 Making silly faces in my new chair from my aunts and cousins.  I can sit up like a big girl!

 This was the morning she got her 2 month shots.  This picture is funny because its almost like she's saying, "I'm so happy!!!"  Little did she know....

After our shots, the nurse told us to take a bath and exercise our legs to prevent soreness.  Well, little did she know that was our favorite thing to do!

 This was taken at Nana and Granddaddy's house the other night.  She LOVES her Granddaddy!  She smiles at him every time he's around and "coos" at him more than anyone else.  She was watching him cook supper the other night.  She always has her eyes on him.

 Like mother like daughter...always cheesing it up for the camera.

 This was the 2nd time she had slept all through the night.  This is exactly what she looked like when I woke up to find her awake the other morning.  So sweet!

I'm 2 months old!  Time is flying by way too fast, but we are having so much fun!!  My cousin Brinkley came down to visit me and mommy on Friday so we had to get a picture together.  She's pretty special to me, and she teaches me lots of fun things.  I think we'll be pals!

Do You Want To Take My Picture?

This is a very belated post, but I recently got Ivy Kate's newborn pictures on digital images from the VERY talented Jessica Meinardus, and I just had to share!  I've loaded most of them on Facebook, but these are a few of my absolute favorites.  Enjoy!!
