Old Friends and New Ones

Round 3 at the Pumpkin Patch-this time with our new friends Jules and Jillian!
Will and Jillian

I love how they're all squished over to one side on the Ferris Wheel-maybe a little unsure of this crazy ride perched on a trailer?
Maggie on one of her faves-the airplanes
Driving a truck with Will-check out that backseat driver!
On her true favorite-the stomping boots. This was the biggest spectacle getting her out of here!
Every time they circled past us, she would wave and say "Hi Daddy"

Maggie and Stacey with their first attempt at making a bouncy ball (one of our favorite crafts ever BTW...made by Rose Art)
Choosing Stacey over me to play ball!
Will and Stacey making a ball-he didn't stop smiling the whole time she was here!



My friend Stacey was able to come spend a few days with us this week and we had such a great time! I knew Will would love her, but I was a little apprehensive about Mags because she's a little of a mama's girl, but she loved her! Almost right from the beginning she would let her hold her and carry her around, and after a day or so she started going to her instead of me! It was nuts! We loved having her here with us and thanks to Eric, we were able to have some much needed girl time with dinner out one night and a morning of shopping in South Lake. When I came home without her that day the kids were so bummed! Thanks for coming Stacey-we love you!

We also got to spend time with some new friends this week-Jules and Jillian! Brittney and I were at Harding together and reconnected through the blog world. We were finally able to get our schedules on the same page and met at the Pumpkin Patch last week. It was such a fun day and hopefully we'll be able to get together again soon! (Sorry I got no pics of Jules-she's SO cute!!)

After a long and crazy week, we decided to have a nice, easy weekend...by having a t-ball game and going to Six Flags twice. The weather was just so pretty and we had planned on going to the Fair Saturday to enjoy it, but Will had been begging to go to Six Flags lately so we ditched the fair and headed out. It was our first time to take Maggie (except for once as a baby last fall). I was pretty sure we were going to be spending a lot of time on the swings while Eric and Will rode everything else, but she hung right with Will. There are still some things she can't ride yet, but she was able to ride about 15 things and had everyone around us in stitches with her huge grins and belly laughs while the rides were on and her screams of "AGAIN!!!!!" when I tried to take her out of her seat. We had so much fun Saturday that we decided to go back Sunday for more. Needless to say, I'm sure we'll be making a few more return trips now that the weather is so nice!
