Beautiful Fall Day

Weekend

We had a great weekend with my family. Mom, Dad, and Kayla made it up. Bug was busy playing with everyone. He's starting to say "Nana" and "Papa." I think I have to let him say Papa instead of Boppa because when he wants to play with a ball he says "Ball-Ball". Well, those two just sound a little too much alike...but we'll see what happens! This morning he was asking for "Papa" and went to his little photo album and pointed to Papa. So cute!
Our Cozette is back. She made a quick trip to Petsmart for grooming. It's so sad looking at my beautiful Cavalier with no hair on her ears! Hopefully her hair will grow quickly. I think Macy is driving her crazy. But, the Bug has taken quite an interest in tackling Macy- so surely Cozette enjoys that show!
The men worked on plumbing this weekend! Here are their prized cast iron cut-outs! Mr. Fixit has his 3 inch pipe, and Dad has his 4 inch pipe. Us girls made them take a picture of their pipes before the weekend was over!
And there you have it...the Bug...the men...and their pipes! Ferocious! Mr. Fixit did want to point out that he made a cut on that big pipe too...and that the picture is a little bit misleading! I'm so happy that our new bathroom is almost plumbed! Can't wait to get the bathroom furniture in there! (Is that what you call the shower, vanity, and toilet?)

Fall Comfort Foods

What types of recipes do you love once the weather starts getting colder?? We grill all summer...and once fall comes, it seems that all of our recipes are soups and casseroles. Can't forget the cookies. Bug helped make cookies for his "Nana" and "Papa" who are coming this weekend! Mr. Fixit and "Papa" are going to be plumbing the basement.

pumpkin patch!

We went to the pumpkin patch today. Beautiful day, but windy! Good thing the patch has lots of trees to block the wind. Bug enjoyed the outing. He's been indoors the past two days sick. Still have lots of snuffles, but hopefully it's getting better :)

Into it all!

Did you say something??? Hold on, I can't hear you. Let me clean out my ears...

Oh, you think I'm into EVERYTHING??
Hey, give me a break...I'm 17 months old!!

The year of the yard...

As we speak, the yard is being watered. If we spoke earlier today, it was while the yard was being watered. If we speak this afternoon or evening, please note that it will be while the yard is being watered. Why this craziness? We overseeded on Sunday with hopes to get really nice grass. You know, the kind you want to roll around in? So, this is my yard before, and here it is at present...

I know, it looks like we need to bail it!

Bug is cuter than ever...so is his buddy Ben! They had a great time at the carnival playing on the blow up slide with the big kids! Bug wanted to get into the dunk tank too. Oh, and look who's walking in my shoes!
