Happy 30th birthday to me... & my brother of course !!

Mom, the girls & I headed down to Hernando, MS to Cedar Hill farms for the morning.  I had never been and heard great things about it.  We were not disappointed !! I did however, carry Marrin the whole time since I figured our McClaren was no match for the gravel walkways... yep MY arms are tired and top that onto trying to take pictures with a toddler in your arms... not easy going :) So I will try something different next time.

i love this picture.. even if the little girl stepped into my view ( it's my 85mm prime, so that was bound to happen)

 dressed to impress

 yep... read it... PIG Races !!! too fun

ain't he cute

 & the smile on that face is PRICELESS !!

 watching the piggies race

strutting her stuff. P.S. the piggy tails were not any easy feat. I had to bribe her and see myself bribing her alot to get those cute piggies

 Busie... thanks for life :).  enough said !!!

 sweet

 it got sunny & hot

 & we got sleepy and sad

 ha ha

 Lanier enjoyed the playground

 yep, she is pouting... she didn't want to take the hayride to the pumpkin patch ...

 Oops.. I swear we didn't bribe her with popcorn....

 little did she know that this was right next to the pumpkin patch... Jake's ship ( that's what she said) For those who don't have little kiddos. Lanier loves the show Jake and the neverland pirates. She did Tell me that the ship needed to be in water... The kid is SMART !!!

 they grow all kids of food and trees too

 we were not able to get a cute pumpkin patch picture ( we will get one at Laniers school). Marrin was basically asleep in my arms
We left and head to Buon Cibo, a restaurant of a friend of mine, in Hernando. It was AWESOME !!!! Thanks for an awesome birthday !!!!!!!
I'll leave you with this trouble maker
