This Little Princess Turns 4 Tomorrow

While Jeremy was gone hunting today the kids and I headed up the canyon. I had told a friend I'd take some pictures of her and her darling kids. She snapped some of the three of us for me. The leaves were just beautiful!

October is HERE!!!

It's been chilly and stormy and finally feels like fall. The mountains are full of color. The house is creepified. We got 32 quarts of tomatoes canned...plus dill pickles, salsa and grape juice. (because Jeremy is a canning freak!!!) The garden is starting to whined down. The carrots are huge! Luke is loving Kindergarten (I'm so thankful for that!) Ava is loving going to Joy School twice a week like a big girl...with her princess backpack that is as big as she is. Luke's soccer season is over(thank you to all his cheerleaders that came!) and Jeremy's football watching season is just beginning. We went fishing down at the lake with some friends. Picked pumpkins and went birthday shopping with Grandma Patsy. And did I mention it's OCTOBER!!!! I love October.

But the best news of all is I finally feel better and my weird craving for this...

and not my usual craving of this....

....is over. Probably because of the nice heartburn I now get from even the slightly spicy. But my love of chocolate is back and just in time for Halloween candy!!! And that is so exciting to me!That...and the fact that we are expecting baby #3 in April!!!!!!
