Fall is here!

I love fall! It is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the cool air, the pumpkins, all of it. A few weeks ago we took our annual trip to Huber Farm in Starlight, Indiana. My mom, sister and brother-in-law went with us. Unfortunately my dad was sick and couldn't go with us. The weather was unseasonable warm the Sunday we went. Jesse had a great time soaking it all in. We took some cute pictures to remember the trip. Have a blessed fall season!

Summer's Almost Over!

Well, summer is almost over. I can't believe it. Time sure does fly by. It has been a long time since I have posted anything but things have been crazy around here. Jamie graduated on August 16 and I hope to post pics of that soon. Jesse is so big now. He is into everything and can be very stubborn. I look forward to his nap time because he wears me out. He is our busy bee and is constantly on the move. He'd rather be playing outside than inside but it's too hot most days to be out there. We tend to either go out early or at night. He's learning new words and repeats things which means we really have to watch what we say. We don't use foul language in our home but there are still words that aren't necessarily bad but I don't think a 1 year old should be saying. One word in particular is "ewe". That's not a word that I do not want to hear, for example, when I give him his dinner, but it's hard not to laugh when he says it. He thinks it's so funny! Here are some miscellaneous pics for your enjoyment!

Fourth of July

We had a good 4th with our friends the Rodriquez family. We had originally planned to go downtown to the waterfront festival but the rain made us decide to stay at our house. We played cards (Nertz) instead. What else would we do? At least we took a few pics of the kids in their patriotic outfits. When our neighbors started setting off their expensive fireworks that night we stepped outside to view the live show. And best of all - it was free! The next night we went to the Smith's house to watch their fireworks.

I am also including a cute pic of Jesse in his first Mickey Mouse ear hat that Jamie's sister and family sent when he was a baby. He looks so cute!

The Zoo

Jesse and I went to the Louisville Zoo today with Cindy Smith. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. Watching Jesse's expressions was the most fun. He loved looking at the animals and he especially liked the fish. We bought home a stuffed turtle for Jesse (his favorite in the shop). We only wish that Jamie could've come with us.

Texas Trip

Sorry that it's been so long. I am finally posting pictures from our trip to Texas a few weeks ago. We went to Houston to visit our good friends Travis, Keri, Haley, Brayden and Kyle Duke. Travis is the Childrens pastor at Pearland Baptist Church just outside of Houston. We had a great time hanging out with old friends. We mostly played cards and Wii but we did take a day trip to San Antonio where we saw the Alamo. Funny, it's not as big as you would think. Anyway, we hope to go back again some day.

Memorial Day

Well, we had a good Memorial Day and hope that you did too! We went for a cookout at my parents' house and got to visit with family. We managed to make it through eating and playing some games before the rain sent us inside. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and failed to take any pictures on my phone. Jesse had a great time eating everyone's food and playing with his cousin Cassidy. We rarely get to see her so that was great. She always takes good care of him and he loves her. Well, next week Jamie is off of work and we will spend part of that time in Texas. I'll make sure to blog about our trip complete with pictures when we get back.

Cute pics!

Here is a cute pic I took of Jesse tonight while we were waiting for my parents to pick him up. He is spending the night and all day tomorrow with them. I will LOVE the freedom but miss him so much. He's so cute! I know, I'm biased.
