Fall is Here!!

This time of year is what I love the most! I love the fall trees and leaves, cool/warm weather, less bugs:), pumpkin and apple food, caramel apples,
(a goofy hubby in lots of unmatching camo:)

candles that smell of autumn, if they made fall music I'm sure I would love that too! The first chance I had - out came the fall wreaths, candles, pumpkins, mums, and other decor that remind me of my most favorite time of year:) Another highlight of fall is a pumpkin/apple farm!!! Last year we took Wyatt...however, he stayed in a sling and slept the whole time. This time it was so fun to see him smiling and giggling over the goats,

patting and trying to roll the pumpkins,


and even having him reach out his little hands and knock over a whole bowl of sample salsa...the ladies working there didn't seem to happy about that one!
Afterward we satisfied our grumbling bellies with some Panda Express...Wy seemed to really like the chow mein!

Things just seem so fresh and new and exciting when seen through the sweet eyes of a toddler....HAPPY FALL!!!

Wyatt Goes Camping!

We finally got to take the little man camping. Honestly, this age is probably not the easiest age to do this because he switches between crawling and walking too much and there is just too much that his little mouth will taste!! But, it was soooo fun to finally get out together as a family and spend quality time doing one of our favorite things:)

Our tent is just the right size for a queen blow-up and a pack-n-play:)

This was his first canoe ride...he didn't last long before he was freaking out because of the squeeze of his seat and the life jacket. He ended up riding on my lap. By the end of our time there he was resigned to the fact that he had to wear the jacket.


Our little site! Water access right in our sight and plenty of room for Shooter run around too!


Hiking in the woods with Daddy!


Two oh so handsome men!!!


Our usual position plus one daddy and one dog:)


Dinner time!


Roasting some hotdogs!


Piggies in the water (absolutely LOVE this photo!)





It was so fun to get away....we can't wait for October when we get to go again!!

Grandparents Day!!!

This post is dedicated to 2 of the most amazing sets of grandparents in the world! The legacy of these sweet couples will live on because of what they have instilled in the hearts of their children and what we as their children hope to instill ours. God has blessed us with godly, God-honoring, giving, forgiving, gracious, loving, generous, funny, AMAZING parents to call our own. Because of their examples to us and how they chose to put God first in their lives and plant seeds of God's Word in our hearts - we are a living testimony who is now living out those truths and trying to pass that beautiful legacy on to our own children. Our prayer is that we will fulfill the role that God has given us as parents and teach our babies to love God first. Thanks Grammy and Gramps and Grandma and Grandpa for your godly legacy and being the most amazing grandparents ever!!!

Happy Grandparent's Day!!
