Write in your heart that everyday is the best day of the year. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tis my favorite season and this pumpkin has some personality.

I love how these two leaves seemed stucked together for life It just amazes me that after falling off the tree they are still together like they were meant to be together forever.



Yesterday, I found the entrance to fairyland.
Not exactly, but isn't it fun to pretend?? This gate is so very cool. I am finding much happiness in rusty old things lately. Call me weird but...it makes me happy.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

A field of mums.
If you never visited Martin's Garden Center in Tyrone - you do not know what you are missing out on. Especially this time of year. I have stopped there for the last past three weekends just because they absolutely have the best selection of fall items.

I had to buy mums and pumpkins and these cute little pumpkin holders that hold your mums.

And some more favorites.

Her laughter is so contagious and sounds just like Sponge Bob's. Which can be very annoying at times - but you cannot help but giggle everytime you hear her. I could immediatley hear her the other day at the playground before I could see her just by her laugh.

And, I had to throw in yet another cheerleading one - just because I just love those skinny chicken legs with black blues all over them from playing so hard with her brother.

My boy.

Sometimes there are those moments when I suddenly remember that he will grow up and I want to stop time.

This is what he was does while we wait for cheerleading practice to finish up. Jamming in the car with his ipod shuffle and playing his video games.

Modern day technology at its best. It is really sad when your son doesn't know what music CDs are because we download all our music from itunes and never buy the whole CD. But, then again my grandfather walked to school in 2 feet of snow up a hill both ways, LOL!!!

I think maybe I am just starting to show my age.

Wordless Wednesday.

First day of Autumn.
Today is officially the first day of Autumn. So get out there and enjoy it!!

Edited: I am not sure why the date is saying Monday's date but it is actually Tuesday, September 22!!!

In nature nothing is perfect and everything is perfect.....

Summer's end.
When I went for a walk this past weekend, I was sad to see all the beautiful things dying off from this summer - but fall's splendor is defintely starting to show as well. There were so many beautiful things to capture and the colors are amazing already. I absolutely love this time of year.

It is surprising how much of a memory is built around things unnoticed at the time...sometimes the only thing to do is to start looking at everything again until you forget what you're suppose to see and actually see what's there.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall and I plan on getting out there and soaking it all up and enjoying nature's free show. Have a wonderful Monday!

She's got pizazz and style.

She had her first football game this past Saturday and the girl worked it out. It was hot and sunny and she was so cute. Ok, maybe I just have my mommy googles on - but I just adore this little girl. Her laughter is so contagious.

It's so funny seeing her without a front tooth (which fell out last Sunday). And, her face looks black and blue from the painting on her face that she instantly rubbed as soon as it was put on, ugh!!

She is really good at the cheers where you have to shake your booty she's been doing that since she was two years old - so she has had lots of practice with that move.

And, they won the game! Go Glendale Vikings!! Go!!

Life is just what happens to you while your busy making other plans. - John Lennon

I have been MIA for awhile because it has been so crazy busy with kids starting school and trying to get back into the groove and routine of it all. But I am still among the living. Have a good Tuesday.
