October 2010

So it's been a while so I figured that I would do  a quick update for each month to catch everyone up :) \

Here is October's update. October was a busy month with Jolee's class having lot's of activities, our fall garden growing like weeds, Rory's birthday, our 7th Wedding Anniversary and Halloween.  Enjoy all the pics  and look for November pics too :)

Jolee , Rory and I had many picnics out by the garden this fall. It's one of Jolee's new favorite things to do :)

Here is a salad made completely from our garden!

September

Well September started with the celebration of my 30th birthday and this is the beautiful cake that Joe and Jolee made for me . It is decorated it Jolee's and my favorite colors and then some of Jolee's dress up jewelry  ( to dress up the cake of course!) .  Since Jolee spends so much time watching me make cakes these days.... I was extremely proud!

 This is Jolee and Rory sitting together before leaving for school the morning of Jolee's school pics. They love their boots. At least Jolee's wouldn't show in her school pics! :)

 In the mornings after dropping Jolee off at school, Rory and I come back and work in the garden. One morning the lighting was so beautiful that I had to take pics of Rory eating her banana in the garden. Wearing her boots of course :)

 Rory so desperately wants to be going to school too. Jolee helped get Rory dressed this morning, backpack and all. They are so cute together when they get along!

 My first time baking for a fall classroom party for Jolee. I am sure this is the first of many cupcakes I will make for the girls classes over the coming years....

Lionel

 We introduced a new member to our furry family in August. We had a rough time with having to get rid of some of our pets not that long ago due to allergies and asthma. So this time around we started looking for something small and with alot less hair.

So here is Lionel.  He is a wire hair terrier mix. And he is a whopping 7 lbs now at 6 months old. He is very sweet and well behaved. The girls are really enjoying him, and the fact that he is the first dog that we've had that they can actually walk!

First day of school... late

I am not even sure where the months went, but I am a bad mommy for not posting the pics from Jolee's first day of school for everyone to see!  To update you all , Jolee LOVES school and her teachers.

 The first few weeks were tough as getting her out of the house was hard, but once at school, she's great.

After her first parent teacher conference of the year I can happily tell you, that she is doing great in class as well. They told me that she is bright ,happy, enthusiastic and a great student over all. I am very proud. 

Day at R&R Ranch

We had  an amazing day with friends at R&R ranch . We rode ponies, got to meet lots of farm animals, took a hayride and even fed the horses. It was a super fun day!
