New Friend

Sydney's 10th birthday is coming up......which I can not believe!!! This year she had asked for a hamster since her turtles are no longer with us :(  So, we thought about it and Say Hello to our new member of the family, Teddy..........

 Okay I never thought I would say this about a hamster but he has stolen our hearts!

 

 so sweet!! He just loves Sydney!

Boo at the Zoo

We went to Boo at the Zoo with our good friends, Mary Beth and Chase! We really enjoyed the hay rides, food, trick or treating, and games! The kids had a blast and so did I! We just love this time of year! There is so much fun to be had!

Not a Baby Anymore.......

A Hiking We Will Go..........

Over the Weekend, we went out to the Natchez Trace with Mimme!  The leaves are really starting to change and it was so beautiful! We found a little hiking trail along the way and the kids and I went on a little hike! They loved it and so did I.  Here are some pics of our little adventure...........
