Visit from the Holcomb's

We enjoyed another nice (rainy) weekend with my brother and fam this weekend. My nephew and his wife and son came along for their first visit to the "compound". While the big boys played in the rain building our new pole barn, the litle boys had a great time riding the gator and the "4-widder". Both were screaming "Go faster!!" and Mommy's screaming "That's fast enough!!".

No tricks just treats

We've been busy brewing up goblin feet...

...Spiders...

...And black cats! Yum!!!

Fall Days = Fall Festivals!

Fall is here! I know it is so because The Weather Channel told me it was...wish someone would tell the actual weather outside to cooperate! Anyway, in spite of the hot, humid (sticky) climate, we've done our darnedest to enjoy the many festivals in and around town this month. The issue has been to decide on just one a weekend! One of our favorite places to "fest" at is LaPorte Farms in Sebastian. The Littles decided to join us (partly because they had forgotten that Sebastian is really much, much closer to us than them, oops!) and we had a great time riding ponies and petting the other animals, we even had a couple of bull rides!

Ummm, now what, God?

We've been trying to limit Gage's time with a pacifier to bedtime and nap (as he would gladly have it 24-7), and the idea of no "binka" has not gone over well with him. Today as we were getting ready for nap he says "Dear Jesus, thank you for my binka, Amen!"

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, I gues my birthday celebration is finally over...Gage didn't sing to me today as he has everyday the past week! I have been blessed with a sweet sweet boy!

So it's been a while....

At least I don't need to change my blog background!
Since my sis has informed me that I can blog from my phone, I will do my dutiful best to keep it updated!

We've recently started potty training and have made a big deal of Gage wearing underwear. So tonight he ran in to Oma and asked her if she wanted to see his new underwear, and she, of course, said yes. She got a little more than she bargained for though, as he stripped them off and held them up for her to get a good look at!
