HollyFest

Every year the town Phillip works in, Holly Springs, has HollyFest. It's has kids rides, bouncy houses, different businesses selling stuff, a band, pig races, a petting zoo, lots of give a ways and yummy food. The best part about it is that everything is free, except for the food. I usually have to work in my dad's booth but we didn't do it this year and it was so nice to just be able to go and enjoy it. Addison had a blast and Cooper just slept in the sling attached to me so it we all had a great time!

Loved the elephant ride

She LOVED the Chick-Fil-A cow. She saw him 4 times and wanted a hug every time.

Loving the fish ride...It went a little higher than the elephant one

I guess she saw something pretty cool...I have no idea what it was

Loved the fake farm they had set up in the petting zoo

Addison and Cooper : )

Movie Night with dad

I went to a movie with my friend Megan to see The Time Travelers Wife (which I bawled through by the way) so Phillip decided to have a movie night with the kids. He borrowed Toy Story since Addison hadn't seen it before and she LOVED it. I dont think Cooper really cared all that much : ) She asked to watch it twice the next day. She was happy because she got a whole bag of popcorn to herself and got to stay up late. She asked when I was going to see another movie so I guess she had a good time with dad.

Some New Pictures

We went to my mom's to pick up Addison after getting out of the hospital and she was sooo excited to meet him. When I walked in, all she was saying is "where's Cooper, where is he, I want to see him". It was really cute. She just wanted to rub his head and rock him in his car seat all day.

So, Cooper pretty much sleeps ALL day. We can't get him to wake up for anything. Of course, he seems to be awake at night with no problem : ) Even though it was 1 in the morning, we just had to play with him and take a bunch of pictures since we hardly ever get to see him with his eyes open. He is so stinking cute!!

Cooper is here!!!!

Cooper Chase Passey is finally here! We are so excited and we love him so much already. I still can't believe he's here and that I'm not pregnant anymore. It's a little surreal. So, we were supposed to come into the hospital this morning to be induced but it seems that he didn't want to wait that long. We were celebrating my birthday early so we went to Chili's for dinner and all through dinner I kept getting contractions so I told Phillip we had to leave and drop Addison off at my parents. We were already planning on that because we were supposed to go see a movie and have Addison just sleep over since we were supposed to be at the hospital at 6:30 AM so it worked out pretty well. We decided to skip the movie and go straight to the hospital and got there around 8 PM. Well of course as soon as we got there, my contractions pretty much stopped but they decided to keep me since I was just going to come back in the morning. About 2 hours after nothing happening, the doctor said she was going to break my water, which she did and immediately the contractions came on hard and fast. I was able to get my epidural around midnight but it only worked on one side of me so I was still in a lot of pain. About an hour after that I felt like I needed to push so the nurse came and checked me and said I was definitely ready and called the doctor. I had to wait for them to all get set up and as soon as she said I could start pushing, I did and his head immediately came out. We were shocked. I pushed one more time and the rest of his body came out. It was so fast! Phillip got to cut the umbilical cord this time around so we were happy about that. He's such a beautiful and calm baby. He didn't make a sound during his bath or at all when he's been awake. He's been alert and happy all day. He was born at 1:17 AM weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and he is 20 1/2 inches. We love him so much! The only really hard part about being here is that Addison is not allowed to visit. Because of the H1N1 virus, children under 18 can't come in so that's been really hard on me but other than that, everything has gone perfectly!

His first picture. About 10 minutes old,

Pumpkin Farm

A friend invited us to go to this pumpkin patch/hayride place and we thought it was perfect because Shawna and Joseph decided to come up for the weekend for a visit. The girls loved it! They had a ton of stuff to do there. Games, donkey rides, a corn maze, animals, a hayride, face painting and pumpkin decorating. We all had a great time and I love October!
