MISSISSIPPI....

We had a great time a few weeks ago in Mississippi...We always go home during fall for the Canton Flea Market and for the Mississippi State Fair. And also to eat...because that is what us Mississippians do best.  Eat and Socialize. Yes, that about sums it up! :)

We started off on Saturday night at my parents house watching Ole Miss lose to A&M. Awful (being an true Ole Miss fan, you pretty much go into every game expecting to lose. If you win, that is gravy...HA HA)... Then we ate my mama's famous spaghetti and watched Scooby Do Reruns. I love my parents house so much! It is so comfortable and beautiful!

Paisley, 5, at the pumpkin patch..

 Mitchell Farms is located in Collins, MS off of Highway 49. It is worth the drive to see the sunflowers. Absolutely breathtaking!

We also fell in love with the pumpkin carriage. These princesses thought it was TOO COOL!

Sweet Izzy, my sister's clone! 

Joe and Anna Blaire. These two LOVE each other! 

My sister and Griffin going down the big slide! 

My sweet pumpkin! She is growing up and it makes me sad! 

And of course, my Muffin! VERY hard to get a great pic of him! He is a constant state of moving and/or destruction! 

Beautiful sunflowers. 

BFF Cousins! I hope these two are roomies at Ole Miss together someday! 

They spent every waking minute together! 

Love, love, love each other!!! 

We also stopped at this place on our way to Mitchell Farms. They have the best boiled peanuts on earth!

At the top of my Christmas list this year is a bottle tree. I love these things so much! 

I dug the political signs...

And the pumpkin patch! 

And the "EMPTY CHAIR"

On Wednesday, we went to eat lunch at Hamils. This place is a staple meat and three in Mississippi. It was featured on Guy Fieri's Diners and Drive-Ins. Paisley enjoyed eating a cinnamon roll as big as her head!

These three loved clowning around together! 

My mama's sister, Aunt Susan, also known as Nano, came over for a visit. The girls loved this!

On Thursday, we went to the Canton Flea Market. It is the coolest flea market in the South. Thousands of vendors are there with all of the coolest things. 

I got the CUTEST necklace from this place called Pink Herron. Pink Herron is owned by a girl named Mamie Heron. Her necklaces are so unique! She hand makes all the charms and the neatest part? The back is a necklace, so you can switch it to a bracelet. You will have to check her out at Christmas Village in Nashville. I will actually be working with her that day!  We will be in Building 4. Y'all come see us! PINK HERRON. DON'T FORGET!!! :)

Afterwards, we went and visited my college roommate, Robyn and got to visit with her sweet family. This is her sweet daughter, Ellyn! 

Griffin was a BIG fan of the plasma car. We might need one of these, Santa! 

And lastly, we went to the Mississippi State Fair on Sunday. We had SOOOOO much fun and the weather was perfect! Our Motley Crue right here!! Ha. 

Gigi stealing some kisses!

I have SO much to post and catch up on! I hope you are all having a fabulous fall! This is my FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!  XOXO KJ

Tennessee State Fair 2012

We had a decent time at the TN State Fair. I have high fair standards. Wait a minute...isn't that an Oxy Moron? Haha. Anyway, here are some pics! Enjoy! Xoxo KJ

Hot Corn Dip

I made this delicious recipe (from Pinterest, of course!) a few weeks ago for a men's CLC retreat for my husband. It was a big hit! I thought I would share!

1 11 oz. can of whole kernel corn
2 cans of Rotel tomatoes mild
2 tbsp chipolte peppers in Adobe sauce
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 cups of Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Toppings:
1 tomato diced
2 tbsp cilantro chopped
2 tbsp green onions chopped

Preheat oven 350 degrees
Mix all ingredients except toppings
Cover and cook for 45 minutes
About 10 minutes before it is done, cover with tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions.

Ps-this picture isn't great, but you get the idea! Delicious!!!!

PUMPKIN PATCH NASHVILLE!

We met some of our friends at Lucky Ladd Farms this week for some Pumpkin Patch playtime. If you have never been to Lucky Ladd, you need to go visit! It is awesome! I love Walden Farms, too but this one is awesome! It is HUGE. We paid $27 to get in, but everything is included. You get to feed the animals and even go in and brush them. Paisley thought this was fabulous. They also had a baby piglet that was the sweetest thing! I loved that pig as much as Paisley! Can anyone say, "Glitzy?!' 

 My babies are growing up. TEARS....

Paisley being sassy! Imagine that?

Sweet Sloan! 

Griffin loves Sloan! 

Tire Climb!  

 These boys were in Heaven!! 

SLIDES! 

We had a great time! Plan on staying for at least 3 hours! We didn't even see everything!
Happy Fall Friends!
XOXO-
