September’s Favorite Photos

September was a busy month. We were back to school in full-swing, and all three kids were getting used to the morning routine. I was keeping busy in the kitchen, and working on a few projects too. It was a fun month, but it was a blur. Here are some of my favorite photos from September.

Thade earned his Blue belt in Tae Kwon Do. I’m super proud of my big kid.

Dylan has been all smiles. He absolutely loves kindergarten. He wants to go seven days a week.

Agnes turns three in October. She is talking non-stop, and my goodness, she is one busy toddler.

All three, and cheerful.

We’ve spotted a few sure-signs of Fall.

We went to one of our favorite fall festivities, the Pioneer Harvest Fiesta parade.

We enjoyed some tasty treats too.

We had some lovely late-season blooms.

I like these blossoms too.

Miss Mia keeps growing, she has become quite the barker too.

The big kitty will be 13 in November…

We’ll see what October brings our way.

The 2012 Tractor Parade

A few weeks ago we went to one of our very favorite autumn traditions. We took the kiddos to the Pioneer Harvest Fiesta Parade.

The kids were ready for the parade to begin. We got there plenty early, so we could find a good spot.

We found a great spot.

Pretty soon it was time for the parade to begin.

There were lots of tractors.

Lots and lots of tractors.

The Trolley was there too.

There were small tractors.

There were red tractors.

There were green tractors too.

We even spotted a yellow-orange tractor too.

There were some really cool cars.

We saw several marching bands.

This red, white, and blue one was pretty cool too.

It was an awesome parade!

The kiddos got a ton of candy too…

Second Spring

It is finally starting to feel more like Fall, it has really felt like Spring though. The trees have re-budded, the flowers have re-bloomed, and the plants have started to sprout again…

The grass has greened up in the park.

My strawberry plants are growing and blossoming.

We’ve had cute mushrooms pop up in the yard.

We’ve had crazy storms that are more Spring-like than autumnal.

I was surprised to see the Lilac bushes re-bloom. I love those sweet blossoms.

We’ve seen summery sky-lines.

We’ve enjoyed lots of sunny afternoons.

The greenery downtown looks lovely.

It looks like a pretty Spring scene to me.

The roses are in bloom too.

These sunny marigold blooms are too cute.

We found some purple cone-flowers too. You usually see these all over in the Spring.

I like these little purple petunias too.

I hope this friendly weather sticks around for just a bit longer.

Around Town

I’ve been out an about snapping photos of a few spots around town.

 

 

 

I’m ready for the leaves to start changing, so we can take a few more pictures.

August’s Favorite Photos

In August we said good-bye to the lazy Summer days, and hello to a new school-year.

The first day of school snuck up on us.

Thade is in a new school this year. So far the third grade is going well.

Dylan enjoyed the Summer vacation, but he was anxious for school to start.

This is his first year at kindergarten, and he loves it. He is always anxious to get to school.

Agnes was a little bummed when both of the boys headed off to school.

She is into everything these days.

She’ll be turning three next month.

She is already asking if she will go to preschool too. I’m not quite ready for that.

The kiddos became full-blown Whovians this Summer. I have no idea just how many hours we spent watching Doctor Who.

There were lots of messes and video game levels were created too. It was a fun Summer.

I got out a bit this Summer, and rediscovered my love for antique shops.

I spotted this beauty at Trader Daves.

I spent a lot of the Summer sewing too. I’ve set up a little sewing room for myself in the foyer.

We had a few late Summer flowers, but the heat was just miserable this year.

I started a new collection.

I really want to go back and visit this shop again soon.

I’m piecing together a few quilts. This little one is for Agnes. She loves pink and purple.

The puppy is getting bigger.

She has also been into everything…

The kitty turns thirteen this year… He hasn’t been as playful as he used to be…

He loves to nap on whatever project I’m working on.

We’ll see what September brings our way.
