Sunday Funday at the Cumming Fair !

On Yet another beautiful day here in Atlanta, Georgia Alexa got to spend it outside at the Cumming Fair, with me and her nana, and boy did she have a blast !!! She saw ALL kinds of rides, smelt ALL kinds of mouth watering smells, Rode some kid rides, and even got to go to the petting zoo and feed some goats, sheep, bunnies, and baby pigs. 

Alexa's first fair ride: 

The Nemo ride !!

At first she wasnt sure of what was going on but soon after it got started she had a BLAST !!

Her second ride was the kids train !!

After the train ride, We went to the petting zoo !

She was VERY unsure of the pigs that kept squealing l0l

After countless hours of laughter and smiles we got some ice cream and headed back to the car, while Alexa was still laughing and smiling  :)

As you can see this past week of enjoying Alexa being the only child, we have had a BLAST !!!

Being able to see Alexa smile and laugh all day long with making cookies, painting pumpkins, going to the pumpkin patch, and the fair has made this week a week to remember :) 

Alexa,

We are SO proud of you !!! Each and every day you are becoming more and more gown up :) You are blossoming into a BEAUTIFUL little 2 year old and soon to be BIG SISTER !!! We love you SO much and cant wait to introduce you to your little brother ( when he decides to come ) and watch you continue to grow into a beautiful young lady and big sister <3

A day at the Kinsey Family Farm !

With ALL this beautiful weather, its IMPOSSIBLE to stay inside and relax. So today we had yet another FUN play date with Brittany and Avery at The Kinsey Family Farm !

From the petting zoo, the hay ride, feeding " Sishies" to running around a million pumpkins the girls were full of laughter, smiles, and excitement !

Alexa was VERY interested in the goats :)

And then she became very interested in the cow that kept " moo'ing" at her l0l

Next we went on a hay ride, which we kept making jokes about how it was going to send me into labor hahha... needless to say it didn't :/

Then the girls fed some cat fish :) 

All we heard were " Whoa ! sishyy" with laughter mixed in <3

After the fun of the hay ride, we ate some lunch and played in the pumpkins !!!

Brittany and I tried to get a cute picture of the girls in the wagon.. 

but you see how far this got hahah

At the end of our fun field trip, us girls had fun ( as always )

Alexa & I couldn't be anymore blessed to have such an AMAZING friendship with Brittany and Avery To hear the girls laugh, talk, and play together is the true definition of " music to my ears" :) Thank you guys for having such a positive impact on Alexa and I !!

we are beyond blessed to have friends like you two in our lives !!!
