Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

We had fun this last Sunday heading to another pumpkin patch with friends. The kids loved the maze, the hayride, and the little "train" ride as well as feeding the animals, and just running around. The weather was gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for better! We are super blessed to have friends to go with and that our girls love! Here are pics from our Pumpkin Patch Funday!

Fort Worth Zoo with Grammy & Grandpa

Last week, my parents took a vacation day to take us girls to the zoo. It was a gorgeous day, the weather was perfect, and my girls had a really great time!

Campbell had such a fun time seeing the baby elephants, riding the train and carousel (her favorites), and feeding the giant goldfish! Enjoy a few pics of our day. So so thankful my girls have wonderful grandparents on both sides of the family who take them to do such fun things!

Fun at the Zoo!

This past Thursday Jacob stayed home from work since he had been gone for a whole week. He wanted to spend some time with his girls, and we more than loved it! We really started out being lazy. He got up with Campbell and let me sleep in! We snuggled in bed and just were lazy....but then he was like, Campbell, do you want to go see some animals? Let's go to the zoo! Alright...let's go...

We got to the Dallas Zoo a little after noon. It was pretty warm and super humid, but it wasn't busy at all so we got to enjoy it. Campbell could see anything and everything she wanted! She even fed the giraffes, which I didn't get a picture of because I was helping her. When I asked what her favorite animal was she told me puppy dog....I had to giggle. No, what is your favorite zoo animal...she thought for a second. Giraffe! So cute!

Here's a few pics of our zoo adventure. Many more of those to come I'm sure. I can't wait to take her to the Fort Worth Zoo in the future with my parents!

So thankful for daddy who took a day to spend with us! It was much needed and extra special!

One Month Old ~ how did we get here already???

Yes, it has been almost a month since I've blogged, and we now have a 1 month old baby girl in our house. This is crazy. You think time flies by with your first child, and then you have a second. My world is a little chaotic and sleep deprived at the moment. I've had a rough few weeks (more on that later), but this last one has been pretty good!

Here are our favorites from the last month. And I'm going to be better about getting my camera out. I have hardly taken any "real" pictures (except for yesterday; below), only ones on my phone that I post to Facebook and Instagram.

I will post Callan's stats after her doctor appointment on Friday, but we definitely have a chunky little thing. She loves to eat...and sleep. And she's got quite the temper when she gets worked up. Even though she's her own unique self, I feel like I'm raising Campbell all over again because they look so much alike. It is the craziest feeling!

Callan is such a sweet baby! Her voice right now consists mostly of lots of grunting, along with her squeaky cries. She is all over the place in her eating and sleeping patterns. She can go 2-3 hours usually, but during the afternoon almost always goes 4 hours after having lots of awake time! She is just like she was in the womb; awake mostly from 7pm to midnight usually. I've had to adjust to staying awake longer. But then we are up two more times during the night/early morning. I'm praying for the night time feedings to spread out soon. She has lots to live up to...her big sister was an amazing sleeper...and still is most nights. We are enjoying this little lady so much and are excited to see what the next month brings!

I feel like I should update on Campbell as well! She is definitely my pride and joy! She cracks me up and tests my patience daily. She is smart and creative. She loves going to "school" and playing with her friends! She sings so well. Everyday I catch her mixing up a few different songs. She "lubs" her whole family and will name each and every person! At home she is constantly wanting to play with play doh and paint. I've been trying to get more creative in our art projects. These days I'm very thankful for her love for movies and cartoons...in my ability to catch a few more minutes of sleep (because she wakes up so darn early) or my constant needing to feed and handle Callan. I try to focus some one on one time with her once I put Callan down for naps. Cami still loves to read books. She also is now in the phase where she asks "why?" after I say anything. Isn't it too early for that? I feel like she's 2 going on 16. She acts so big and old at times, but I have to remind myself she's only 2. She loves having her nails painted and is constantly wanting to put on lip gloss. Such a girly girl. Any dress she puts on is a princess dress! Campbell Grace is taking to her big sister role very well. She has such a kind and loving heart!

She is in love with her daddy and I'm so thankful for their relationship. He makes me sane and is the best daddy. I couldn't do this without him.

We have been so blessed with two amazing girls. We are enjoying this precious time in our lives...even if we are exhausted....this doesn't last for long and we are soaking in every moment!

Cattle drive at the Stockyards

I took Campbell this morning to the Stockyards in Fort Worth. My mom's office is down there, so we met her to see the cattle drive and have lunch. Campbell is very interested in animals...especially cows and horses. And when she saw the cowboys she would say "Yee Haw"...I mean how cute is that? We even got to sit on one of the longhorns to get our picture taken. She wasn't sure what to think. We weren't up there long and she was like..."down." We will have many more visits to the stockyards in our future!

Enjoy a few of the pics I was able to get:
