Apple Cider

On Sunday we went to my friend's parents' house. (that was a mouthful!) They have apple trees in their front yard and offered to let us help make some apple cider.

We always love going down there. It's nice to be in the country, especially for me. I miss it.

I forgot my other shoes, so I was wandering around in my church heels. Looked a little ridiculous, so all I did was pick up maybe 5 apples and take pictures. Ben and Evey raced dump trucks with their friends and we watched a movie and made some pizza.

It's always a good time and it's nice to feel like we have family here. Can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving.

I'm trying out some new photo shop tricks..the logo may be a tad obnoxious....but I like the rounded corners.

Bits from Benjamin

• While playing alone with a bobble head Buzz Lightyear- "Hey, Buzzwightyear, don't shake your head at me"
• While at the mall recently - "Whoa! There's a whole lotta Christmas in here"
• While feeding Addy her baby food (by request) - "Oh my wittle AddyCakes, you're makin' a big mess"
• While playing with trains.."I'm tired of driving and I don't want to drive anymore, I just want to stay in ours home."

Seattle for a Day

On Friday last week we ventured to Seattle for some fun. We saw the Gum Wall in Post Alley, and walked around the Pike Place Market. So many interesting people and things. Here are just a couple of photos from the day.

It's Veteran's Day

And...I just happen to be married to a veteran.
A pretty cool veteran who recently returned from Afghanistan...and who just happened to spend his Wednesday talking to elementry school kids about Veteran's day. :)
He asked questions and when someone got it right, he let them take a patch off his uniform..not in the regs, we know...but the kids loved it!



That second pic was after the assembly, the kids weren't in the mood...and the last one was the kids waiting to get into the car..I just thought it was amusing.

Thanks to all the veterans..past and present.

Blog Fail...
