Wet and Wonderful Weekend

We spent last weekend at my mom and dad's house (aka Grammy and Grandaddy).  Although we endured rain most of the weekend, we still managed to pack in lots of fun.

While there was a brief break in the rain, we jumped on the golf cart (aka Grammy-wagon) and rode around the farm to look at the cows.  Audrey and Addison LOVE seeing the cows each time we visit. 

They think they are so big climbing on the gates.  I can remember that being something that I loved to do as a little girl, too.

When it was raining, my munchkins were dancing and playing in the rain or taking a walk under their Veggietales umbrella.

The rain showers didn't stop us from enjoying some sweet, juicy watermelon on the very warm days.

We took advantage of the carport and played with bubbles in it.  All of us ended up COVERED in bubble solution.  Baths were a necessity for everyone after this!

When we weren't doing these fun activities, we were visiting Nana at the nursing home or enjoying some good food.  Even though it poured rain the whole time, we still had a wonderful time making memories with our family.

Country Girls

These two little girls LOVE the farm!

When we mention going to Grammy and Grandaddy's house, they automatically begin planning what they will do that weekend on the farm.

They enjoy riding on the tractor with Grandaddy to put out hay. And riding on the "grammy-wagon" to put out feed is also a highlight.

The girls would ride around all day on the "grammy-wagon" looking at the cows and often times you can hear Addison singing to them. On a good day, when the girls are calm and quiet, they can pet a few of the cows. Audrey and Addison have learned which ones will allow them to get close.

Since the farm is so precious to the girls and the rest of my family, it only seemed right to take them out for a photoshoot while we were there recently.

I was thrilled with some of the shots that I captured.

Seeing these two sweet girls smile and enjoy the farm makes me miss my Pawpaw even more. I know he would be so happy and proud that his "little messes" love the farm as much as he did. I wish he was here to witness their happiness.

Audrey is learning so much about the animals around the farm. She doesn't mind getting right in on all the action. Opening and closing the pasture gates have become "her job". She is so proud of herself since she can help in that way.

Addison is completely fascinated with the cows. She talks about them, sings about them, and "moos" to them daily...even if we aren't at the farm! This girl LOVES those cows. When she sees her boots, she automatically starts talking about Grammy's house and the cows at the farm.

I love that my girls enjoy the farm so much. It makes me smile to know that we are making memories on the farm much like the memories I have growing up there.

Have you ever seen two cuter cowgirls???

Little Cowgirls

One thing I miss most about having moved away from my family is the farm. That is all I have known my entire life and I've loved what all I learned on the farm and the many fond memories I have of time spent there.

So it thrills me to take my girls there and see them enjoy the same things I loved as a young girl.


Granddaddy has some good assistants.




You've got to train them early how to feed those cows! :)

I hope they will always love being a country cowgirl!
