The Labor Day Picnic was this past weekend.  More importantly Grandpa Louis celebrated his 90th birthday!  Here is  pic with the birthday boy.

Friday night was the Labor Day pageant.  Paisley was so excited to see my Little Miss Christian County Alaina.  They had to ride a few rides together.

Weeeeeeeee!

After the pageant, guess who Paisley found - her buddy Brant.  These two kids are adorable together.  They enjoyed a few more rides.

Saturday was all of the festivities for Grandpa Louie.  After the Open House, Paisley wanted to ride a few more rides. 

And guess who she found again.....

Isn't this fun Brant?

What a big girl!  She does not look two in this picture :(

Monday was parade time.  And guess again who we had to sit with. 

Yook Mommy, an airplane is coming down the road.  Yes, you read that right.  Someone was driving an airplane down the road in the middle of the parade...who knows!

Picking up all of the candy....yummy!

Swingin' with Daddy and Uncle Robbie!

A few more rides to close up the 2010 Picnic. 

She just looks rotten!

What  fun weekend :)  It was great to see all of Adam's extended family!!!!

When I picked Paisley up from school, she asked me if we can go to the fair for a corndog and to ride rides.  This weekend obviously made an impression on her :)

I am a little behind in posting this.  The last weekend of August was Kristen's bachelorette party.  We had a lot of fun!  It was great to see everyone again.  Kristin did a great job planning :)

I am not sure all of these pictures were necessary to post but oh well.  We had a great time hanging out again!

We decided to have one last family day before harvest starts.  We took Paisley to the St Louis Zoo.  She had a blast!  Actually, Adam and I had just as much fun too!

She decided to take a little snooze on our way there.  She is so precious when she sleeps!

Paisley watched the turtles closely and said turtles walk slow!

The only animal she wanted to see was the monkeys so the next several are from that exhibit.  Monkeys by far are her favorite animal!

We finally got Paisley away from the monkeys, and she was amazed to see this lion sleeping in the tree.  This actually freaked me out thinking if he could climb in a tree, could he climb out of this cage?????

Daddy and Paisley checking out the tigers.

What a pretty zebra!

I like giraffes for some reason so this picture was for me!

Daddy found a nice cold beverage to enjoy while we roasted in the sun!

Mommy and Paisley posing with a GIANT gorilla!

I just thought this picture was too cute.  Paisley loves her daddy!

Paisley's second favorite animal was the elephants.  These were two baby elephants.  They don't look very small, huh!

The three of us enjoyed the Zoo Train!  Choo Choo was a common phrase while we were going through the zoo.

And last by not least, we had to ride the carousel.  And yes that is Matt and Finn in the background.  They were already in St Louis and we happened to see them at the zoo...too funny!

Like mommy like daughter :)  What a precious little smile!

Wore out!

When we got home, we played outside for awhile.  When it was time to go in, Paisley ran to the driveway and quoted her favorite book, "Good Night, Moon!"

So many of you might be asking....how is potty training going?  Well since I am a very proud mommy, I will tell you.  After day 1 struggles, she has done incredible.  We only had four days of small accidents and now we are on day 3 on NO ACCIDENTS.  So this whole process only took my baby 5 days :)

Here is a picture of Paisley wearing my heels around after going potty.  She forgot to put her shorts back on :)  Looks at those legs....I love them!

So from the look of this picture, I am sure you can guess what we did this weekend....POTTY TRAIN!  Saturday was day 1.  I really was not sure this was going to work after day 1.  Sunday she started to get the hang of it.  Every day we have had fewer accidents.  Here are a few pictures to capture the weekend.

This is how she dressed herself for the big day!  I am not sure if she wore rain boots to catch the accidents or if she thought she was going to be in a flood :)

Aunt Allie painted her toes when she was sitting bored on the potty.  She LOVES them!  She comments on her pretty pink toes several times a day :)  Thanks Aunt Allie!

Please pray that Paisley is potty trained in a few weeks to help the sanity of mom!

We spent the weekend at the lake!  It is so relaxing and we had a blast!

Paisley and daddy enjoying the 85 degree water :)

Napping on the boat :)  Look at those thighs!!!!

Adam found these sunglasses on the boat - how funny!  And yes they were even bifocals.

Paisley just taking it all in.

Day 2 naptime!

Kristin (aka Miss Sweet Tea) left the city and headed our way for the weekend.  We had a blast!  We miss you already! 

When it was time to head back home tonight, Paisley cried and said, "No home, Stay Camper"!  I think she enjoys it as much as we do :)
