October 2011

 Mariah loves to be my helper.  Sometimes she is less helpful than others, but she is learning.

She is really good at lining cupcake pans for me.

 This is the first time that James and Mariah played ring around the rosie together.  

They both still love to do it.

All fall down!

We had the opportunity to go to Hee-Haw farms, and the kids had so much fun!  We didn't do the maze because the kids were so young and it was kind of late, but they didn't seem to mind.

 

 Mariah thought these cutout were hilarious, as you can see by the silly face she's making.

 Riding on the tractor tires.  James wasn't so sure about them.  He was also starting to get tired.

 Mariah thought the tractor swing was fun, but not as much fun as...

The GIANT slide!  Sadly my camera was having issues at this point (it had gotten moisture in it somehow), so this is a terrible picture, but she loved this thing.  She was so much smaller than anyone else riding it, but she wanted to keep going again and again!

 Around the time we moved into our house, Mariah stopped taking naps.  However, she didn't stop being tired, and would quite often pass out while doing things.  She was so asleep here that she didn't wake up for any of James's harassment. 

CHEESE!  My kids love having their pictures taken, particularly James.  Whenever he sees a camera or thinks I'm going to take a picture with my phone he grins and says "cheese!"

 

 CHEESE!
