A Day at the Park - By Lola

I have an old camera that I saved and taught Lola how to use. She often take pictures of her baby dolls, but after spending time talking about the leaved beginning to change colors, we decided to go to Cannon Hill Park and take pictures of the leaves before they fell off the trees. It also happened to be my birthday when we went. It was a perfect, sunny fall day. Lola took most of these, but there were a few of her that I couldn't help but snap.

A beautiful fall day in the life of Lola - seen through her artistic eye.

Birthday Week

October 9 - Nana

October 11 - Bub & myself

October 13 - Uncle Andrew

LOVE birthday week.

Dressed up in his fall flannel for Nana.

Lola was SUCH a big helper, bringing in Nana' cake as we sang "Happy Birthday"

Again, helping blow out the candle.

When we visited Nana's classroom before school started, we noticed many pictures of Lola, and no updated picture of Mac, so he gave her a photo of himself for her room :)

Lola made Nana an owl magnet that she picked out & painted.

Cupcake counting with Bub.

The day after me & Bub's birthdays, we all took the kids out to Greenbluff & Peone (where we're going to build a house) for pumpkin picking. Stopping at Peone, we had SO much fun with the pig farmer who is living out there. Clint not only farms pigs, but he also breeds Corgis. We got to see four six week old puppies and Lola is sure we need a Corgi puppy now.

Into the barn we went. Over 200 piglets inside. So much squealing & pink noses. Mac was napping in the car and he would have absolutely loved the puppies and pigs. After getting used to the noisy barn, Lola loved the pigs.

Nana, checking out the property with the kids.

Our backyard.

After pumpkin picking, we went to Nana & Bubs for Trezzi Farm Italian dinner. So yummy.

Loving on their great grandma.

Snuggles with Daddio.

After a great weekend with family, date night, sweet gifts, I am now a "mature" 30 and cannot wait to ring in the new decade with my girls in Walla Walla!!!

Homecoming

We went to Ellensburg for Homecoming weekend and met up with Dan's friends, Cole, Jason, and Nolan and their families. We got to spend great time with Grandpa Linda, Grandpa Jack, and Uncle Andrew. Dan and I got to have a fun night out with the boys and their wives on Friday, and had a Bonja party at Cole's parents house on Saturday. Love all of our Ellensburg family- the Wadkins, Kanyers, Teasleys and Rittereisers!
