Since my new camera lense hasn't arrived yet, I used my phone for these pictures so I apologize if they are a tad bit blurry. A few days ago we headed over to the library for story time. It had been a few months since we had gone, so we thought we would try it out again and see how Maddie would do. The girls had a blast! Olivia loved showing Maddie the little fairy houses in the display case, telling her the names (that she made up on the spot) of the fish and playing puzzles before we headed in. The story time is wonderful down here, they do lots of singing and dancing which both girls love to do! Olivia sat right for the books and was loving the stories. She even told everyone how her Daddy lets her help make pizza, the book was about cooking... Maddie did not sit still the entire time we were there! She tried to climb on every chair, walk over every child and her version of dancing was hilarious! We had a great time and will be going back next week:)

Apple Picking!
Well folks, here is my disclaimer, apple picking in Tn is NOT the same as Tn!!! We headed out with our friends the Frennetts to pick some apples! We thought it would be a fun family activity to go apple picking in Tn....well the apples down south are a bit different! They are small green and basically look like crab apples but we still had a fun time! The girls played with the older Maddie and Mackenzie and older brother Ethan. Liv seems to melt every time Ethan says anything lol!! After lots of bugs, small apples and tired babies we called it a day...needless to say we wont be apple picking in Tn again!

Swing time fun!
I have really been slacking lately with the blog posts! One of my camera lens's is getting repaird so I am stuck with my large camera and I have been switching between my old camer and large lense so please bear with me!
On a recent fall evening, after dinner and baths we headed out to the swingset before bed time. The girls loved swinging and Olivia now pumps her swing on her own. The only issue with this is that she cannot stop quickly so we have to be very careful that Maddie doesn't wander over in front of her. Of course the dogs also don't understand the concept of swings and both continually get hit by the kids on them!!

T-ball!
Well since the hubby was a baseball player in college, it was without a question that he would want Liv to play tball. He is now the coach ( a few of the girls are Liv's friends and already call him Uncle Steve!) So far the girls have had one game and blew the other team away ( not that we keep score at this age, but we still did!) Steve is a great coach and Liv loves to play tball!!
