Now that it is below 100 degrees...

We have been enjoying the nice weather!
We did our yearly trip down to Wilcox to pick our own apples and pumpkins
We pick our own pumpkins off the vine. The weather was in the 70's and so nice!

Brynn was our own little pumpkin we carried around

My mom got to come with us this year which was so fun! She made cakes in the shape of pumpkins with Tylie and even watched the girls one night while we got to go on a date! Thanks mom!



Picking the apples
I love the Fuji apples. They are so good!!

So it may not have been cold enough for a beanie but I had to! It was just too cute. My aunt sent it to us :)

While Dallas had work off we also went to the zoo

Brynn's first time at the zoo

Tylie was so happy that day. She even let me do her hair and put a bow in it which lately is very rare! That shows she is in a good mood. For some reason her hair is the center of her emotions!

Minnie and Mickey

I couldn't wait to have two kids to match them for Halloween! I couldn't think of anything because all Tylie wanted to be was a princess. We convinced her to be Minnie and she is SO excited! She wears this dress every day. Brynn cracks me up in this Mickey costume.

September

Winston, Brielle and Brynn
We had our friends Regan, Nate and Langdon and Heather come over when my sister was in town. We had to take a baby picture...
Also my friends Jenny (and her cute little Trent) and Adrienne drove into town to see Brynn. It was so fun to hang out with them for the day!

Tylie had another ballet recital. This session with ballet was a nightmare! She hated going. Thank goodness she was excited for the recital because she got to wear this outfit. No more ballet for a while!

I couldn't wait to dress up my girls in matching outfits!

I don't know why the blog turned my pictures!
This is Brynn with her twin cousins Shane and Liam

More matching outfits :)

My girls!!

Bit of Heaven!!

My friend Ashlie took these amazing pictures of Brynn at just a week old...




I can't believe she is already one month old! I love that her cheeks are getting chubby. Tylie was always a skinny little thing!
Things have been crazy but good. Tylie decided the week after I had Brynn to become insanely difficult. She acted irritated at everything. She would wake up in the middle of the night crying for no reason, then wake up in the morning crying for hours and continue the crying throughout the day and night. Thankfully it has gotten a little better! I don't know what I would do if Dallas weren't home helping.
Brynn was a wonderful newborn for the first two weeks. Sleeping ALL the time. Now she is getting more high maintenance. She loves to be held and she knows if you sit down! She is good if you are walking around bouncing her. She is not very happy to stay in the swing, bouncer or the floor. She is still easier than Tylie was because she is a good eater and actually sleeps a little during the night!
When we found out Dallas had six weeks a paternity leave we thought what the heck was he going to do at home that long! Oh I know! Let me just throw out my back so you can take care of all three of us :) So that is what I did! I was carying Brynn around in a sling all day then went running that evening and in the middle of the night I sat up to feed Brynn and my back was out! I couldn't walk, sit, or move at all! It is feeling better each day, but man it is hard not having a back when you have a newborn to take care of!
I have to say, the second time around having a baby is SO much easier! You know what to expect and maybe we are just a little more relaxed too. It also helps to have a really hard baby first so the rest that follow seem like angels :)
I know I complain about how hard Tylie is, but she has so many sweet moments to make up for that. She loves her sister. She kisses and holds her all the time. I love it when she comes up and gives me a kiss or a hug out of no where! Brynn has been such a blessing and I can't stare at her enough!
