Boo at the Zoo!!

This past weekend, we headed to the Bakersfield Zoo to enjoy the "Boo at the Zoo".  Our little butterfly fairy had a wonderful time playing games, enjoying the animals, and riding on a train!!

Daddy's shoes

Lily and I were hanging out in the living room.  I wasn't really paying attention to her, when she said, "I've got Dada's shoes!"  I looked over and this is what she looked like...socks and all!!

Muffins with Daddy!

David was at home with Lily, when she decided she wanted blueberry muffins.  When I got home, they had just finished filling up the muffin cups, so I grabbed my camera and snapped a few daddy/daughter pictures.

Posing with the muffins ready to go in the oven.

She's so excited!

Enjoying the finished product



Tasty!

Pumpkin Patch!

One of my MOPS groups went to the pumpkin patch.  We had a good morning there, but Lily wasn't feeling particularly photogenic, so I didn't get too many pics.  Hopefully the whole family will go this weekend, and maybe we can get a few more pumpkin pictures.

Here's Lily going through the corn maze.

Sister Love

I just love our girls.  They are so sweet together. 

Ballet and Jello?

Lily is not a fan of posing for pictures.  So when she decided to pose in her ballet outfit, how could I resist.  Granted, she was holding a packet of jello, but you take what you get. 

So, here's Lily posing with her jello :)

Kern County Fair

At the end of September, we ventured out to the Kern County Fair.  Lily had a blast hanging out with her friend, Chase.  The kids had fun riding lots of rides, and we had fun watching them.

First up...pony rides!!

She had so much fun

Lily and Chase waiting in line with their tickets

they didn't really get how the lever worked, so they spent most of the time here...

Choo-choo time!!

on the boat ride...

It was a long ride, and as you can tell from their faces, it got a bit boring
