Summer in Pictures

I have been meaning to post some summer pictures for......well, since the beginning of our blog life. Since it's now October, that means we have a lot of pictures that haven't made it to the blog. So, here are some random favorites. Enjoy!

Go ducks!

So far we have been to only two football games, but both have been a lot of fun. Thomas LOVES it! He yells when everyone else yells, hits the rude guy standing next to us (he really did that...repeatedly), and even likes the $9 sodas...or at least the straws. He is a duck fan from the start, despite his dad's wishes. Sorry Steven...Go Ducks!

The first game we went to got really cold, so we covered Thomas up with the free towels they were handing out rather than buy an ugly adult-sized beenie for $30. He was a trooper. I would like to brag for a moment and say that I carried that 21 pound cutie in a front pack (despite the recommended weight limit) throughout the entire game as we STOOD in the bleachers (students refuse to sit in the student section). My feet were tired, my back was stiff, but it was a fun night. I love my little duck fan.
When Thomas fell asleep (which didn't last long) we used his "hat" as earmuffs. I'm glad we got pictures of this, I'm not sure anyone would believe that he was sleeping in the student section if we didn't have proof.
Pre-game enthusiasm at Uncle Tyler's. The mohawk was dawned for the special occasion. We all got a kick out of it.
How could I possibly as for more? I love him every single minute. Football games have never been so fun, thanks Thomas.

An apology from bad bloggers

Has anyone else noticed that so far we horrible bloggers? I am going to blame it on our busy school schedules, but I'm sure if I really tried I could be better. For now, I'm using it as the 'get out of jail free' card. I will try harder from now on. I promise.

Fun outing

Yesterday we took a little trip to a great fruit farm and had tons of fun!! Thomas fell asleep in the car, so we let him sleep while we pushed him around while we eyed all of the yummy fruits and veggies that we were going to buy before heading home. We also figured we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take some pictures on a tractor. Steven wasn't as into it as I was.



And after he woke up, we walked over to this neat little place...the goat walk. Who would have thought? They have this neat little set-up where the goat walk on these little bridges overhead and you can send food up to them on this neat little pulley. We didn't have any quarters to feed them, but loved the idea. And loved the goats. Check out that smile!!


They also had a fun little playground, and Thomas LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the slide. Can you tell? He got a little "slide burn" on his back, but wasn't phased a bit. He's a daredevil in the making.
Afterward we had to buy some produce, of course. It looked too good not to. We got a HUGE zucchini, a few different varieties of apples (one of which Thomas couldn't get enough of in the car on the way home), some nectarines, plums, tomatoes, an onion, bell peppers (including purple, which looked neat but tasted gross) and a juicy peach for me to eat in the car. It turned out to be a fun and healthy day. Lone Pine Farm gets two thumbs up!

Here we are!

We finally decided to start our little blog, or rather, decided to actually add something to it. Now all we need is readers...which might take more effort. Thank you Charami, for being such an inspiration for me to start my blogging life. Anyway, here we are. It remains to be seen how long this will last.
