Ok...Serious Blog FAIL.

I was recently reminded by someone who may remain anonymous, that I haven't posted a new post in many many moons. I will try to do better in the future. We have just had a lot going on around here. In case you don't believe me, here is our Summer/Fall recap.

We got to meet someone new!

We said goodbye to a loved one.

We got to hang out with our favorite partners at the R-Ranch.


We celebrated America.


We took refreshing (dangerous) naps.


We learned we like Ranch dressing...a lot.

Jon started his summer project, backdoor steps to the backyard. I like how Oliver wears his helmet during construction. Safety First.

O.k. I was working hard, so please ignore the crazy hair.

We even made it to the California State Fair!

Oliver liked the bug exhibit.

We enjoyed running through the sprinklers! And yes this is happening in our FRONT yard.

We rocked a little.


We went camping again...and learned how much we LOVE dirt.


Why drink milk when you can start your morning with a cold one? (Before you go calling CPS, this can of Oly is unopened).


Um...dirt and jelly don't mix.


We had a few Monsters over for Oliver's 2nd Birthday Party...

and then we ate them.

Jon trying to figure out one of Oliver's new birthday puzzles.

Oliver loved his new Space Tent! Apparently Moms are not allowed inside, but Dads are o.k.

Oliver also loves his new Legos. Glad we made the investment.



Did you know that our little town has Tractor Museum?
We didn't either till a local told us.








Here is an old Packard truck. I think our Great Grandpa used to sell these.

We dressed up a little.


We finally renewed our Zoo membership.

Haircuts are rewarded at our house.

We learned that Play-Dough doesn't taste as good as it looks.

We not only picked our Pumpkins from a REAL pumpkin patch,
we also held kitties, bunnies, chicks, chased Chickens, petted cows
and went on a Tractor Ride.
No pictures of any of that stuff though, so you will have to just take our word.
