All moved in!

Hello!!  I know some of you have missed our blog updates, but it has been a crazy past month with our recent move.  We moved in on the 3rd of October and are now getting settled with our internet and TV finally installed and most of the boxes unpacked.  We haven't found places for all the stuff yet, but at least we are rid of the boxes!  We absolutely LOVE our house and our neighborhood, so we are really happy with our decision to make life crazy for awhile by moving. Sully loves his new room and especially loves the park in the neighborhood, walks to the lake, and the treehouse in our backyard!  What a fun world for a Sully!  Ansley loves her new room and is pretty much happy wherever Mommy is...she is totally going through Mommy separation anxiety these days.  Flattering at first, but now a little annoying!  ha!  :)  She is 9 months old now and is starting to crawl!  She is also doing a great job with table food and has 6 teeth!  She is growing like crazy and is really starting to sprout her own little personality.   She and Sully enjoy each other and I often hear them giggling and playing in the den while I am getting dinner ready.  So sweet!  

I have a bunch of random pictures to share...there have been many fun adventures over the past month...

  First day of school!

A few weeks ago we went up to Toccoa, Ga for a fun day at the lake with Grancie, Pip, Zizzie, Chip, Fran, Kelli, Michael, and Jackson, Shawna, and Erin and Jason.  It was a fun Georgia family reunion!  Sully went fishing for the first time and caught a lot of fish with Pip.  He went on a boat ride with Zizzie and thet girls,  and a paddle boat with Mommy and Daddy.  Ansley played with her cousin Jackson who is only a few months younger, so that was fun to see them roll around together.  It was a really fun day and Sully had a blast!!!  Here are some cute pictures. 

Sully Fishing!
 Sully held the rod while Pip put the line in the water and.....
 He got one!!!!  Sully was so excited...a little scared of the fish, but very excited!  
 We didn't think Sully would want to wear his life jacket, but he was SO proud and didn't really want to take it off!  
  Sully was throwing rocks in the water and the dogs thought he was throwing in food so they would jump in the water just to be disappointed.  
Running down the hill into the water!
 Ansley and Jackson! 
 Whole crew at the lake!  It was a fun day!  

We have enjoyed our new deck so much since we have moved in and love to eat lunch outside on the weekend.  Sully and Ansley were being really cute on this occasion so we snapped some pictures.  
Goofy Ansley!
GOOOO C-A-T-S...CATS!  CATS!  CATS!  
They just LOVE each other
Trip to Burt's Pumpkin Farm!
Last week we made our annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville, GA.  This was Sully's 3rd year and Ansley's 1st, so I was SO excited to take my little pumpkins on a fun day trip.  We played around the pumpkins for awhile and took some cute pictures while Sully ran around and Ansley tried to each some mulch.  Then we went for a fun hayride...Sully, of course, had a blast, and Ansley sat right next to him and giggled the grunted the whole way!  She loved the ride, but I think she liked playing with the hay the best!  She kept picking it up and would show me and Sully her amazing discovery!  It was SUPER cute!  Here are some pictures from our fun day!  
Sully and Ansley at Burt's--October 2008
Ansley 9.5 months, Sully 3 years
My littlest pumpkin!  She is sprouting more personality daily.  She makes me and Sully laugh so hard sometimes!  What a sweet, little angel she is becoming!  
My big boy pumpkin---has it really been three years already?  I remember that first trip when he was just learning to walk and he was stuck in all of those pumpkins with his mouth open in amazement...wow!  Time flies!  :)
Ansley thought Burt's was the perfect place to practice her crawling skills!  :)
 Hayride! 
Sully was so excited to get up on the big tractor!  
Mommy and her little pumpkins!  Can you guess who didn't want to be in the picture?  :)  Sully picked out that pumpkin and just loves it!  He has it in his room and sometimes carries it around the house.  Out of 100 pumpkins, that was the one he wanted...how did that pumpkin get to be so lucky?!?  :)

Visit with Aunt Lauren
Lauren was in town on Sunday so she met Ansley for the first time and got to enjoy a fun afternoon with a crazy Sully.  We had a very fun day catching up and eating some yummy food!
  

Enjoy all the pictures!  We are really enjoying all the fun activities fall brings and being in our new house!  What a great month!  

xxoo Tracy, Brett, Sullivan, and Ansley  xxoo
