Jack's favorite spot

Apple Hill

Damon and I took the kids up to Apple Hill this Saturday for a little get-away. The kids had a great time. They loved picking apples off the tree, the babies loved to carry and fill their buckets. We ended our day with yummy treats, apple cider and apple pie and headed home.

Shop 'til you drop

I got to escape reality last weekend and go on a girls trip. A little shopping, okay A LOT of shopping, walks on the beach, cookies, lots of laughs, dinners out...oh did I mention NO KIDS, no whining, no mommmmmyyy!! So besides staying up too late, a broken breast pump and having our gas siphoned while we ate lunch at whole foods...It was bliss! I had such a great time, I can't wait to do it again. It renewed my patience, if only for a little while. Thanks friends...it wouldn't be the same without all of you.

The most important stop...buying a little something to thank our husbands for letting us escape. Amy Greene's bag looks awfully small, her hubby is in for a big treat!

Thanks so much Stacey, it was great!

Sneaky

I came across a pair of Ryan's skidder undies, hidden out of sight from Mommy. Boys...what are they thinking? Sneaky, very sneaky and a little gross!

Campout Fun??

We invited over some friends for a "simple" backyard camp out to celebrate summer's end. The kids had great fun. Hot dogs, a nature walk, tents, sleeping bags, smiles, s'mores....running around in the dark. Maybe not such a good idea, 4 boys and 1 girl, who ends up on the bottom of the dog pile?? Who gets a trip to the emergency room and 3 stitches? Poor sweet Rebekah. Let's hope this doesn't scare her away forever.

All Girl

What can I say, she LOVES shoes!!
