Little M's 2nd Birthday!!

Little M will be turning 2 at the end of the month. With so much going on-- trips, holidays/Halloween, and the many other Fall activities, we decided to have her party a little earlier in the month. She was so excited about her Dora party. We started the party off with playtime in the backyard with some of Little M's neighborhood friends and cousins. Then it was time to play pin the party hat on Dora! It was a little scary for the little ones, but it was the easiest Dora game Mama could come up with.

Then it was time for some Dora cake or cupcakes, followed by opening up presents. Little M did a great job of blowing out the candles all by herself. She really got into opening the presents too...Mama was so impressed. She was blessed to have lots of family and friends around her to celebrate her 2nd birthday. She's really been enjoying her new gifts too!

Little M's First Haircut

Little M had her first haircut this last week. She wouldn't sit in the chair without Papaw, who was visiting. I had gotten a little frustrated with the stringy look of her hair and decided that it was time for the "baby" to get her first haircut. For some reason, I guess I was just holding out with her. While I've been noticing that she's growing up more and more all the time, the haircut really changes my baby girl into a toddler girl!

Carmichael's Pumpkin Patch

I can't believe it's been since mid-August since I've put anything new on the blog! September just flew by with my part-time work, the girls' activities, school, and church. October is busy too, but I'll try to get at least a few posts on here. And, hopefully I can get that summer blog background changed to something more seasonally appropriate!

We visited a fun pumpkin patch called Carmichael's in the Bixby area yesterday. The girls had a great time. Carmichael's has a petting zoo, pony and camel rides, hay rides, a maze, and lots and lots of pumpkins. The girls had a great time picking out pumpkins, and Big M actually rode a pony all by herself! We had beautiful fall weather and it was a fun outing. We can't wait to do it again next year!
