falling for...

   Today is the first day of fall. We are very excited for it's arrival and everything that it brings.

Here is a list of some of the things that we are "falling for..."

•      Logan's ever growing vocabulary. A few recent lines include:

"Daddy. Stay. Stay. I wuv you." Scott has been quite busy lately with his coaching internship and school that we haven't seen as much as his face as we would like to. Logan was not happy about daddy leaving to go pick up take-out 20 minutes after just getting home.

     "That’s a cute idea." Her response to me talking about the 'thank you' card we were going to make to our aunt and uncle for the lovely time we had on their farm and with their horses. 

"Baby’s so cute." This is pretty much said about any baby [or any child sitting in the front of a shopping cart for that matter.]

"I kidding." Lo's always kidding. Anything that she says or does that is goofy or remotely out of the norm is silly, and therefore she is "kidding." 

"Mommy...be careful." As I fill her cup with cider. I guess she thinks there may be some hidden danger within that gallon. 

•      Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Starbucks has that thing down to PERFECTION.

•      Boyfriend cardigans. 

•      Fresh apple cider, pumpkins, and DIY fall decor [thank you interest for so much too much inspiration.]

•      Boots.

•      Home made soup.

•      The color gray.

•      Open windows.

•      Spray paint.

•      Blogging : ] Obvi..

•      Ruffle Skirts.

•      Block Party today! [My sisters street is having a block party with lots of fun things for kids and adults. We are all looking very forward to it..especially Logan! Pics to come..]

What are you falling for?

lovely day

Today was a lovely day. The sun was shining. The air was cool. And lunch at one of the best restaurants in town was perfect, as usual. We ate, walked around town, and bought a few things. 

We even snapped a few shots of our girl that may be my new favorites : ]

so long, sweet summer

School has started back up, pools are being closed, and cool days are becoming the norm. Fall is rapidly approaching-- almost here in fact. 

Oh, do I love the fall...but summer was good to us. 

So sweet. 

So good to us. 

I hate to see it end.

                          

Baseball games

milkshake dates

beach vacations

bathing suits

ferris wheels

fruit picking

picnics

and backyard adventures.

So long, sweet summer.

like new friends.

Meet, Paulina [or as Logan calls her: Paw-ween]

Paulina has been in our family since Lo's 1st birthday [it was a gift from her uncle]

but just recently we have rediscovered her. 

And since then, Logan and Paulina have been inseperable.

They tell each other secrets and giggle when daddy tells jokes.

They take naps, and walks, and read books.

They're the best of friends.

There's something so incredibly sweet about a girl and her doll.

Don't you think?

weekend adventure

So, now that I am back, blogging has begun.

Back-to-back posts? Sure, why not..

Go big or go home, right?!

Here's to a new start restart :]

So, this past weekend we spent a lot of time outside. We were trying to take in all that the end of summer had to offer. That included, swimming, night time walks, picnics, and farm visits.

We visited family that lives on a farm. We got to feed the sheep, ride the horses, and dodge flies. Good times! The photos we took that day are just too fun not to share, and what better time than now? ;]

This was Logan's second time at the farm and I just knew she would love it even more this year [being miss independent and all.] She took complete advantage of her freedom. She was so brave around the animals [more so than I.] She got to feed both the sheep and the horses, and did it like a pro. She especially loved going into the barn and bringing out handfuls of hay for the horses.

This little sheep was shy and didn't come out much. When it did, it just looked at us like we were nuts.

This little house used to be part of the chicken coupe they once had. Logan was quite fond of it, mainly for it's petite-ness. She kept saying: "wittle house, awww." Haha, she is too much.

This pony was under the impression that I had an unlimited stash of carrots. When I didn't produce, this is what she did. Funny.

This is one of the horse flies that landed on one of the horse's back. Huge. Creepy. Thing.

My girl. In her riding pants & boots-- ready to ride. 

                                                            Beautiful red barn.

Logan and Daddy. I love how she is looking over at him.

Providing the horses with plenty of hay!

On the wagon ride.

 

What a beautiful day!

I used to love going to my uncle's when I was younger and spending time outside with the animals. I am so grateful that my daughter now can also experience these things. 

Are there any specific activities and/or events that you took part in when you were young that your children now do? 

Back[ish] to Blogging!

 Hi there. Welcome. I'm new[ish] to the blogging world.

 I decided I wanted to start up my very own personal blog after a short lived experience of blogging through a media course I took last summer. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. What I liked most was taking time out of each day [or every couple days] to just sit, slow down,  and allow myself to gather my thoughts. I have always enjoyed writing and photography. I feel like blogging is the best of both worlds.

So, here I sit. Again.

I attempted blogging earlier this year, but to my dismay, life took over and time escaped me.

But here I am, this time around...eager, dedicated, and driven.
