Pumpkin Patch on the Beach

On Saturday, the Benjamin clan, plus JuJu, ventured out to a pumpkin patch on the beach. I kid you not! It was an ironic experience. We took a picture with the beach in the background, so people would believe us.

It was hot and the sun was bright, so it was difficult trying to get Ivy Kate to look up for pictures.

There was also a sign warning of fire ants and stickers, so we were very careful before sitting her down for pictures.

I am sure Ivy Kate will look back on her first trip to the pumpkin patch for years to come! :)

My Two Loves

Last night when John got home from work, he was playing with Ivy Kate and she was squealing with laughter. It was priceless!

I realized how lucky I am to have a great husband and daughter.

Lord, thank you for blessing me with such a sweet family!

Hurry up Thanksgiving...

because I love me some sweet potatoes!

Happy Birthday to Wilson!

Today is Wilson's 3rd birthday (or 21st birthday)! I don't think he is going out partying tonight though! :)

Wilson is on a mini-vacation at my parents' house while we are trying to sell the house. It has not been the same around here without him.

Wilson, we miss you and hope you have a great birthday!

Love- Mama, Daddy, and Ivy Kate

(This picture is from when we first got him! Look how little!)

Where is Ivy Kate?

Last week, I laid a blanket down for Ivy Kate to play on while I took a shower. When I got out of the shower, she was not on her blanket...she had rolled under our bed. She was not crying, but was not to sure about being under the bed and she could not get out! The last picture of her smiling is when I rescued her!

So Much to Do/Say...So Little Time

We've been busy as bees in the last couple of weeks.

Big news (and kinda old news) is we're moving to Tupelo. We're very excited! We're trying to sell our house and keep it squeaky clean without baby stuff everywhere...hard to do!

John's parents came this weekend to help us get the house ready and we are so thankful. There is no way we could have gotten everything together without them!

Ivy Kate had her second haircut last week by her Gran/ JuJu! Her hair just keeps growing in all directions!

My parents celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary this past Saturday! Happy Anniversary to them!

Ivy Kate is doing great and growing like a weed! She will be five months old on Sunday...even harder to believe!

Here are some new pictures:

I love my new do, Gran/JuJu! Thank you for my new bows!

Daddy, come here...I know you want a kiss!

This cereal tastes better with my thumb!
