Melons, and Labor day

Sooo once again, my birthday came and went and i took absolutely no pictures!!! Except of the Lovely bouquet of daisies! (which are my favy) and I took one pic of my super hip haircut!! I love it, it makes me feel so cool :) So far 26 has been great, I feel great, in the best shape i have been in in forever, and everyone is healthy and happy!!!


I never know, when i have so many pictures, whether to put the descriptions on the top or on the bottom of the pictures..... I'm going to pick top.... SOoo this next picture is my boys and their super cool hats, We went school clothes shopping and couldn't pass them up, they matched their shirts :)


I have been on a big cooking kick, trying new recipes, Like the one below i saw on Rachael Ray and had to try it!! Its chabata bread, with a ricotta cheese/thyme mixture spread on top, sausage cooked with garlic and red pepper flakes, topped with broccoli rabe and all topped with shredded provolone...... it was really really good, a ton of food but looked really pretty, since then i have made a lot of different things, We sit down to dinner and Wil calls it "mommy's restaurant" and he usually eats what i make, My favorite was the lettuce wraps, tho no one else liked em...


The next few are from Howell's Melon festival (no not the melon's ur thinking)

They had lots of bounce houses, and no one there cuz it was kind of raining.


My Cooper has no fear. He is awesome, most of the time i forget that he is only 18 mo old lol. He forgets too, he is pretty sure that hes 3.

Nick had to climb up there with em and throw em down the slides lol, it was super wet, almost like a slip n slide, but nick made it out without any broken bones, or broken children!

The lamest little carousel but the kids didn't wanna get off, Coop looooved it. Kept sayin "neeiigghhhh" the whole way around


Wil got his face painted! He originally wanted a rainbow....... glad we could talk him outta that one lol

This thing scared the crap outta me. I must have watched one to many horror stories on TV of the ropes coming back and cutting fingers or faces off.... but Wil really wanted to catapult a melon, so they did it, i was hoping to get an action shot of the melon splatting the ground but no such luck, that's what they are watching tho, Wil had just pulled it and they are lookin at how far it went lol

I made Nick take a first day of school picture, he was not happy about taking the picture (as you can tell lol) nor did he want me to post it up here but too bad, I am proud of him, and i super love him, and wanna remember things like this! Wil was so mad the whole day he wanted to go to school with dad, hes pretty sure dad just colors and plays with toys and kids all day, cuz thats what school is .... right??


Over labor day weekend I took the kids down to spend a long weekend with my mom and dad. We did all sorts of fun things with Grandma O and Grandpa O! Like teeter totters!!

Oh my gosh i love this chunky kid!! ugh he melts my heart lol


I made them pose for lots of pictures, There was a cute garden place right next to the most awesome park in the world, I'm pretty sure Ive posted about this park before, its huge, we have nothing like that close to here.


My parents live right next to a big state park, It has a huge lake ( i guess its a dam, gets really full in the summer and empties in the winter) But there are trails, a nature center with little animals to look at and things to do, literally 3 minutes from my parents, we spent the morning on the lake, ate lunch on the boat, played at the beach, cleaned up then headed to the nature center!


and that has been the last few months, here's another empty vow to blog more, i really do like it! I just need to take more pics. Wil is starting a preschool class next week, just one day a week, and playgroup is going to be awesome this week too, so lots more pics to come!
