School's in Session!

Our summer was great and went by fast! Now it is time for school to start again. Ty  is in kindergarten this year! He is excited, a little nervous, but looking forward to it! 

We went school shopping a few weeks ago and he picked out a Spider-Man book bag and yellow/black tennis shoes! 

We enjoyed dinner at his choice of Red Robin! 

Earlier this week was Meet the Teacher night! Scott and I took Ty into the school and we found his class. He met Mrs.

Clouse and was excited to see everything in the room. Then he was set and all ready for the big day!

The last few days of summer went by fast but we enjoyed a night out to dinner at Fair Oaks farms

August 23, 2013 - first day of kindergarten! 

I am excited for him and know he will do just fine. He's outgoing, makes friends easily, and loves to learn. But I had tears... That i didn't let him see...Not because I didn't want him to go but because I can't believe he's going already! Where has time gone! Today kindergarten.. Tomorrow graduating high school ... As fast as time goes! 

We also packed his lunch! He is a pretty picky eater and I don't think school lunch is going to cut it for him! So! I ordered some bento lunch items... But they haven't came in yet. So we used what we had to make lunch fun! 

Here's my first of many bento lunches! 

Have a great day Ty! I know you'll love it!!

September and October

These two months around our home were mainly devoted to our Walker Farms Fall Harvest Days! This was our second year doing it and we were happy with the turn out of customers. We tried some new things this year and hope to expand on them in future years.
We were also busy with Ty's soccer games. The kids are so fun to watch! I will post some pictures that I took from my phone below.
 Halloween was also exciting....This year Ty was a Motor Cross Racer and Lane was Batman.
As the end of October is winding down  so is our busy life. So we went on a vacation to Disney!! Pictures in the next post!

Waaayyy behind!!

Wow am I way behind! I want to try to get caught up on my blog here soon! A lot has happened since my last post in August! So stay tuned to future posts as I try to catch up from August to the end of January real quick :)

Michigan

For our anniversary, we did an overnight trip to Michigan. It was a good mini vacation. We didn't really have a plan other than we wanted to go to this little indoor water park that we found that wasn't too far away from home. It was called Safari Joe's. It was small but perfect for 2 and 4 year old boys!. We ventured into Benton Harbor for dinner at Chili's and to take a picture of the sunset (We were a little late). We stayed at Safari Joe's for the night (it was a hotel too). The next day we drove around a lot just checking out the pretty state! The landscape is so pretty! Lots of grape farms! Lots of produce farms!! We loved it! We took the boys to a beach also to let them see at the water. We got our feet wet and ran around on the beach. On the way home we stopped at a place and had cheeseburgers. They were awesome! And the served their waffle fries with sour cream! It was so good! This town was so nice and lots of shops to look at! Then we headed home. Pictures from our mini vacation are below

Project for a rainy morning....

I really like to use my weekends to do work outside, but this morning we had a thunderstorm that lasted for a while. It has been a while since we've had rain and we REALLY needed it, so I won't complain :). So it was a morning to do some things inside. I had an order for a birthday banner, so I used the rainy weather as a time to get that done.

I love my Cricut!

I love how it turned out!

I really enjoy using my Cricut and these banners are a neat decoration for birthday parties. I want to make up some and put them on Etsy too

slippin' and a slidin'

The boys got a slip n' slide for their birthday party (what a good idea for summer birthday), so we got it out this weekend. It was great weather to play in the water as hot as it was.  We tried to tell the boys how to do it but they couldn't quite figure it out. They made up their own way....whatever works! They had a blast!! 

As I look at pictures I can see we really needed to mow also, glad we got that taken care of!

Strawberry Jam

This weekend I finally got to making my Strawberry Freezer Jam! Ive saved strawberries in the freezer until I had a chance to make the jam. Glad I got it done! I still have a little bit more to do. I usually had done it with my mom in past years, but this year I did it by myself. I think it turned out well! Now ready for toast and jam or pb&j!!
