Personal Farmers Market.

  ~HARVEST TIME~

 

I feel so lucky.  I have a personal, healthy," Farmers Market" in my own backyard. I LOVE my garden...and that I can go out and hand pick a healthy snack anytime.  We planted tomatoes, peppers, a couple different kinds of squash, pumpkins, carrots, beets, and Brayden picked out his own cherry tomato plant...Which he just helps himself to and picks a couple off when were hanging out outside...And I am a beet fan. LOVE beets. There slight sugary sweetness and tenderness about them, they are perfect.  Not only do I have veggies, we have our eggs too! Wow, I should just set up my own stand in front of my house! Ha. It is a great feeling to be able to produce something that is super yummy, healthy and you know where it is coming from.  So~my next attempt is to pickle and can all of these lovely beets. I am sure it will be a learning experience..we shall see how it goes. And, if it goes good {no major catastrophies}, maybe some tomatoes as well..

And I of course I had my super cute helper...my grubworm lovin' the dirt!!

I have the sweetest boys....TOTAL BOYS!!! Gettin' down and dirty, on our "Farm"

Here's to growing a garden!

Spook.

Okay. Brayden has been BEGGING me to get out the "Pooky" (spooky) decorations...Now that the Halloween stuff is out at the stores, he thinks "it's coming up very soon...this day" He his freaking hilarious. Just love him. So I promised him I would get out the Halloween tote when he got home from preschool and we would put it out together...And secretly I was pretty excited too. To be honest I have never been much of a Halloween decor kinda gal, just Fall. But~this year I decided I needed to get more into it...Brayden LOVES Halloween as I am sure his brother will too. So yes, I know it is a little early but this totally made his day.

 He even helped me "accessorize" and he did say "accessorize" Ha! Taught this boy well...

This was his little contribution, he was so proud..

he said, "Mom, that looks pretty good doesn't it?" :)

"Yes...It looks beautiful!"

 All we need now are some Pumpkins...Every year that goes by Halloween just gets more exciting for our family!

Happy Early Spooking!

I was downtown the other day and couldn't resist stopping by my favorite consignment store...EmileJayne. I have been wanting a scale for  a really long time but never came across anything I really liked. Truth be known I would LOVE a heavy duty stainless-steel one but I cannot bring myself to pay what they are going for new....Anyway I stumbled across this little sweetie stuck on the bottom shelf in a corner! I knew it needed a good home, a little lovin' and good scrub...There were old stickers on it from the 50's and it works!! Finding these kind of things are an adventure for me.  He is currently nesting neatly on my kitchen counter.

And I also picked up this old Hamm Radio Transistor, it just looked too cute..I have no idea what I will be doing with it but, it was just calling my name.

Cheers to good adventure finds!

Skate Mom.

Most Moms are soccer moms..

I am a Skatepark Mom. Brayden LOVES the skatepark, he is just so cute with all the "big kids".

Yes and he is 4. He has no fear whatsoever. Still needs a little push on the big ramp but I would too. It is amazing what your kids can do!

Aghh...Love this kid!

CAMP.

My little Camper.

I LOVE this first picture! Makes my heart melt. It just says it all.
Brayden was so excited to go camping, fishing and make a "fire" with Dad.

A couple weekends ago we ventured out to the Uintah's. A quick family getaway.

It was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Brayden had a ton of fun catching fish and just getting plain ol' down and dirty. Just like a true boy should be.

It was fun to watch my boys enjoy the great outdoors. And boy was it great!

Fishing was such a highlight. He is such a good fisherman. It only took a couple of casts until he got it down him self. And a mighty good caster I may add...Takes after his Dad for sure! Brayden was mighty proud of his fire. We polished off the night with classic toasty mallow's and smores. When it was time to leave Brayden had a hard time pulling out. He started to cry and said, "But we will lose our good campin' pot (spot)"...Kinda broke my heart so we had to pull over halfway home and have a "camp lunch". One last time.

It was a great time. And a gorgeous picture perfect weekend.

Will you accept this rose?

Ahhhhh...the drama! Yes I have been sucked in by the bachelor/bachlelorette the last couple seasons. And the tradition with our friends is to have our own "rose" drama night. Really, we just pig out, discuss the drama and make our hubby 's squirm. It is always something I look forward to! We always have a good time and lots of laughs....It's Tradition.
