Oreos, Milks Favorite Cookie

So I couldn't go too long without showing Halle a woman's delicacy. We enjoyed nearly a third of a package of oreo cookies together dipped in milk...the best and only way. By the looks of it Halle really enjoyed it...head to toe!

Corn, Corn, and more Corn

There is one thing that is not lacking here in the great state of Iowa and that's corn. A couple of friends, Alli and Scott went along with Dan, Halle and I to a corn maze an hour south of here. It was a super COLD day but we ended up having a really great time.

This thing was so much fun. It was a huge bouncy "thing" coming up out of the ground. Halle loves to jump.

Halle is mining for gold...and mommy is rooting her on!
This is go cart racing in the country, miles and miles away from anything.
This is something Halle has become very familiar with.
Yes, they had a "corn on the cob gun"!
The pig races were soooo cute! Actually this was the highlight of the trip for me.

They had a petting zoo with llamas, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and more probably. This llama looked like he was going to spit on me any second.
Is Halle going to be a animal lover like mom?
This contraption may look a little crewel but it was pretty cute to see the goat hall tail up to the top when he saw us coming.

Halle was scared of the corn at first and unsure what to do until she saw Scott take a dive in and make corn angels. Then she was all game.
Dan lassoed the bull on the first try. I am so Proud. LOL

Can't wait til next year when we get to go back.

The Crunching of Leaves in the Fall

Okay I realize it had been way too long since I have posted and I am incredibly sorry. With a new baby in the oven I have been sick, extremely tired, and BUSY! But I wanted to make sure and not miss out on sharing some sweet moments we have had this past fall.

After supper Dan, Halle, and I took walks around the neighborhood. The weather was perfect and the fresh air always feels nice.

Halle loves her Daddy. She is growing up soooo fast! She looks like such a big girl here.
How could you not enjoy leave pile jumping in the fall? We were able to hang out with our sweet friends Katrina and Zion and do just that.


Halle loved playing in the leaves right away. I think all the excitement from everyone around her was just too much for her to take in.

sweet sweet sweet!
Dan is being the prankster Daddy again.
