Cheeseman Farm

Last Saturday we visited Cheeseman Farm in Portersville, PA. We went on a hayride to a pumpkin patch. The girls and I already had our own pumpkins so only Daddy needed to pick one out.

We rode back to the farm and got to pet some baby farm animals! There were baby chickens, a calf and some goats. A few days a week Reagan and I have "school" during Karly's morning nap. I teach her letters of the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and a weekly theme. Last week the theme was "Calf." So this was very exciting for Reagan to see one up close and be able to pet it!!

**If you are interested in doing "school" with your toddler you should check out these awesome websites my sister told me about:

Here is an example of what we do:




Here are some shots from the farm:

Ps...At the beginning of the slideshow it says "Greetings From the Jones." I had fixed it to say "Greetings from the Hawks" but for some reason it still says Jones!! I don't feel like fixing it again so please disregard that part! ;-)

Karly in the Dollhouse!!

Yesterday the girls and I were upstairs. I was putting laundry away and the girls were busy playing in Reagan's bedroom. All of a sudden, Reagan came running into my room saying "What Karly doing Mommy? What Karly doing? Go get her!" So I went into Reagan's room to see what our ever mischievous Karly-Bear was up to and this is what I found!!



Not the best picture since it was taken very quickly with my cell phone. I did not have an easy time getting her out of this!! I had to pull off the piece that her hand is resting on and move around some of the bedroom that was keeping me from easily pulling her out!!

Hopefully she doesn't try this again!

Off and Walking!!

Our little Boo-Boo Bear (that is Karly's nickname) has started walking!! She has not perfected it yet but she is constantly wobbling around here like a little penguin! She still falls on her bottom many times a day, though it doesn't seem to phase her. She gets sooo excited when she walks and laughs like crazy. She is very proud of herself. It's so cute!

Here she is walking with a ponytail holder in one hand and a cresent roll in the other!!

Karly's favorite thing to do is climb up onto this chair and look at the computer screen (which has our family picture as the wallpaper.)

What a ham!!





Reagan was watching the Ohio State Buckeyes with her Daddy and kept turning around like this to smile at us. I asked her "Do you want your picture taken?" and she replied with a nod "Uh-huh."






I had to run to the grocery store last night while the Buckeyes were still on. For all of you that do not know Derek, he is a football fanatic! So he put both girls, sippy cups and all, into this chair and turned a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD on the computer for them to watch. I guess he had time to take these pics...probably during a commercial!!

Tongue Tied

Karly likes to stick her tongue out and kind of twist it to the side. I was browsing through my pictures and noticed that she does it a lot! See for yourself...

Looks like she just had a bottle...her tongue is white!

Lil Kawasaki Fun!!

A woman from my MOPS group just recently gave us a Lil Kawasaki Power Wheels that her children did not use anymore...(Thank you Libby!!)

Karly was the first to try it out since Reagan was still napping when we got it.

When Reagan woke up she was sooo excited to see it! The battery was not charged yet but she still loved just sitting on it.

Daddy charged up the battery.....and the fun began!!

Reagan pushed the button and 'steered' while Karly was just along for the ride.
