Diego shirt

Nana bought Ben a new shirt...

 

 

A yellow Deigo shirt...

 

And Ben LOVES it!

 

And he wears it all the time!

Thankfully we do laundry almost every night!

These were taken a few weeks back.

When shorts and t-shirts were the daily attire.

 

Watcha got littleman???

And why are your little legs are bare piggies so cute?

 

Oh, it's a surprise???

A tiny little toad!?!?!

 

Oh, he is so cute and adorable!

 

 

As are your sweet little hands!

 

Love it!

My guinea pig

"Sorry, my guinea pig ate my homework."

No, really, he did!  Well, he tried at least and had his two top teeth not been broken he would have succeeded. 

Yep, our poor JJ somehow broke his top front teeth which made eating very difficult.  We were pretty worried for a while.  He lost a lot of weight!  We had to peel carrots and cukes and anything else we could think of so he could eat.  He is doing better but I'm afraid he was quite spoiled by all the yummy treats and took a while to realize he had to eat his pellets again!

After many days (weeks?) of rain the sun came out and an unusually warm day blessed us!

The big kids were in school (boo) so it was just Ben and I.

We hit our local park and ended up going to the river and bridge that lays beside it.

 

It was so nice I took Ben's shoes off and rolled up his pants!

 

 

He tried fishing, with a stick and then his hand.  He didn't have any luck though.

But that didn't get this guy down!  Actually I think if he actually caught one in his hand he would have screamed and tossed it down quick, haha!

 

Just as we were about to leave our friend Bailey and her mom showed up so we decided to stay instead of heading home for a nap!

 

 

After all, who wants to nap when the weather is just perfect?  Although we kinda paid for that choice when he was a grump later!

Thank you Mother Nature for the beautiful day!!!

Maggie, fall fashion

This girl of mine, my sweet Maggie, has a great sense of fashion!

I think so at least!

Look at this fall outfit!

 

 

LOVE IT!

From head to toe!

Stopping at the farm stand

One of the best part of summer and fall is stopping at local farm stands!

 

The kids favorite is definitely the one that has baby calves and chickens to visit!

So after soccer when Connor and I had to stop we couldn't help spending some time visiting the animals!

Seriously, look at that sweet face!

 

 

And Connor, the finder of all things nature, found a jaw bone of some type of animal!  Yuck!  Well, at least I thought so!

Oh, we love these babies!

Although Connor had to be reminded not to chase the chickens a few times!  What is it with kids and chasing chickens???

 

A very sweet little man brought me a flower and I loved it! Sweet little D! It was such a beautiful flower and lasted over a week looking perfect!


Love it! And I loved it even more when I found out it was my childhood best friends flower! She passed away from breast cancer a few years ago. We had lost touch a long time before but I still miss her! Actually I had just found her a short time before she died. Well, I found her sister on face book. She was waiting for a "good day" to call and chat and to tell me about her cancer but sadly her "good day" never came.

So thank you D! This flower means more then you knew! And when I get the picture put on a canvas it will be forever here!
