Indian “Fall” Summer

Fall is so Beautiful here in the Pacific NW & these past 2 weeks have been extra Fantastic!  The mornings have been Cool, Crisp, & lazed with a dense layer of Fall Fog.  And yet, the days have been full of Warm Sunshine & Summer Time 60/70 Degree Temps.  Our endless amount of trees are already ever changing into vibrant colors.  I just Love It!

Our Fall has been so consumed with Fall Soccer thus Far.  J is playing on an All Boys Soccer League this year, much more competitive, Much More time Consuming, & a ton of fun for all of us.

Jonathan is playing up in his age bracket again this yr.  He’s 9 now & playing on the 10-12 League & you would never notice a difference in Size or Ability.  He is still Rockin the Field!

A couple of yrs ago I discovered Honey Crisp Apples, a now All Time Fall Favorite!!!  These are the tastiest, juiciest, burst of flavor in your mouth Apple!!!  I took a bite of one at J’s game last Saturday & lucky I looked down before the next bite b/c the Bee’s evidently Love Em too!  They are pretty pricey, averaging $3.00 bucks a pound.  A friend of ours had us over for dinner on Friday & we had an Apple Tasting Party (rather than wine) & they gave us an enormous bag full of them fresh from the Apple Orchards near Leavenworth! 

I’ve been spending Much time with this Fabulous Lady!!!

Ya’ll know Beth Moore right?  I’m taking another one of her classes & if any of you have ever taken one of her studies, you know just how AWESOME & TIME CONSUMING it can be!!  It truly has been Great!  I just love how she says “Were All in this thing we call L…I….F….E !

• Were still on track to move, a much slower track, but we will be moving into the new house in Mid November.
• J is excited that Papa will be in town next week on business & will be able to take him to the Pumpkin Patch like last year.  We were planning on going this Friday, but J insisted that he is waiting for Papa B.  I love that even though he is getting older, he still adores his Papa!
• I’m spending an hour a week in J’s class, I love that it!!!  For all the wrong reasons, but I love that Jonathan is soooooooooooo embarrassed to have me there & that I can give the girl that he talks way too much about the “stink eye”!! ;)  And, I will admit that I do enjoy working with the other kids, J finally realizes that I know more than just folding his clothes & cooking his meals!
• I still have 15 LONG weeks to go in this pregnancy.  We will have another Ultra Sound in 2 weeks now, were praying that we will have some Good News!!
• We have finally agreed and decided on her name!! ;)

1st Day of the 4th Grade

 

Oh my, does time fly…

 

My not so little boy is now a Big 4th Grader!!  I don’t know how it’s possible?  It really truly does feel like we were snuggled together on the couch a few months ago watching Sesame Street.

Dad was able to make it to walk along with us to school this morning for his 1st day.  J was especially excited because Dad hasn’t been able to do this since the 1st Grade.  

I s’pose there has been 1 or 2 people along the way thru life that seem to think that Jonathan is a spitting image of his father!?

I like to think were Twinkies! ;)

And, just so you know, it’s not “Cool” to wear a jacket to the 4th Grade in the Rain, believe me we argued this morning over the topic!

The paparazzi hung out, outside snapping photos thru the window of Mr. J Man J strolling down the Red Carpet to his Desk!

Happy 1st day of the 4th Grade Kiddo, Make Mama Proud!

Willow Tree…….

 

For many years I’ve collected Precious Moments Figures, and about 6 years ago I started receiving Willow Tree Angels as Gifts from dear friends of mine.  If your not familiar, each Angel carries her own meaning and in scripted on the bottom will be her meaning.  This Angel is my newest & her meaning is the “Spirit of Giving”.  My dear sweet husband brought this home with him yesterday.  It’s the 1st time he has ever bought me one of these Angels & I have to admit, I’m a little offended!

I think he is trying to tell me I should be in better spirits about “Giving”!!

Does he mean better Spirits about being Pregnant????

Or is he hinting to the fact that I still haven’t bought him a Birthday Gift for his Birthday last Month?????

;)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm??? 

Isn’t being pregnant and giving him the gift of a child a Gift to last an entire lifetime???

I think I’m going to give him a Uterus for his birthday ;)

Believe it or not, I really am just kidding!  It was so sweet of him to think to go buy me one of my favorite Angels & last night at Soccer Practice, the Coach asked the Dad’s  to come play a scrimmage game against the boys & Sean was out there in his Combat Boots playin it up & now his tootsies are full of Blisters!

I think I will go BUY him a Band-Aid!!!!
