Fall Tastes for Emmy

I have been making Emmy her main meals but in a pinch I'll buy pre-made food.  I saw these:

And wanted to give it a shot.  It was a hit, Little Miss loves pumpkin just like her Mommy.  I love that it's organic and the price was just right.  It's a bit more then just plain ol' jar food but what the heck.

Have a great weekend and go find something pumpkin-y to try!  Mmmmm!

Poor Sick Emmy

Another double ear infection...poor little boo can't catch a break.

I'm freezing Mommy.

Little miss is just miserable and wants nothing but to be held and nurse.  Prayers the medicine works quickly and she's back to her smiley self.  XO

Open House

We had Elly's open house last night.  Elly showed us around her classroom and introduced us to her teacher.

Miss Elly and her friend Kaylee are the class reps, picture is proudly displayed.  Thought this picture was cute, Elly is so tall she looks like a 5th grader.  Can't tell that both girls are super excited can you?

 Mrs. Hamel and Elly, we had soccer right after this.  Her teacher is very nice, we know great things are going to happen this year. 

Olympic Tri

Sunday Jon participated in his first Olympic distance triathlon.  He was nervous...but a good nervous.  I always think that he does better when he's nervous. 

First leg of the race is the swimming part...iy yi yi.  0.91 miles, doesn't sound much but when you are swimming...holy moly.

Whew, done!

Next the biking, 24.8 miles.  He said it was hilly.

Then the running, 6.2 miles...piece of cake for marathon man.

Annnnnnd done!

Final time was around 2 hours and 45 mins.

So proud of him.

I know he was nervous, and his nerves rubbed off on me.  I was so happy

to see him finish and gave him a big hug and kiss.  Whew!

I love going to his races, but going to tri's is a whole different ballgame.

Finding a place to stand for three different events is rough.

I managed but I'm sure I annoyed a few people pushing Emmy around to get just in the right spot.

After the race we went to lunch, we celebrated Jon's finish and my birthday.  Mmmm Mexican food, delish!

On to the next race...

7 Months

A lot has happened this last month.  After Emmy's bout with a ear infection, we started desperately trying to get her to sleep through the night.  She figured it out within 2-3 nights, but every few nights we have a cry fest.  Emmy started eating more, even some chicken meals.  A few days ago she really started to figure how she can sit up all by herself.  I think yesterday she stayed upright for over 5 minutes!  Way to go Emmy!  She's outgrowing her socks...must hit up Target this weekend.  Fall is upon us in Ohio, we will need jackets soon too.  Guess Elly's old California wardrobe is only going to go so far. 

Have a great weekend!! XOXO

Student Council

Elly came home yesterday, jumping out of her skin that she was elected as a member of student council.  We are so proud of her!

She wrote a speech (okay we may have helped...a little) and stood in front of the 3rd grade classes and recited.

I tell you something though...when I was in third grade I was painfully shy.  No way would I have gave a speech.  XOXO

Imagine

Saw this and just had to share. 

9/11 Never Forget...

Bouncy Sister Love

Are they both just too cute for words? 

Coffee Bliss

I make it no secret that I love a good cup of coffee. Lattes, mocha's, coffee with cream...whatever. Just give it to me.

So I was super excited when August 31st rolled around and my beloved returned to me.  Hello old friend!!  Fellow coffee drinkers know what PSL means.  All you others...helllllloooo you've been missing out!

Pumpkin

Spice

Latte

PSL, heaven in a cup.

Now look at this...

Oh yes they did...PSL for home!  Just add milk.  I'm skeptical but I'll try it. 

Mmmm good, hello Fall!
