It's Apple Time!

Yesterday we went to Dixon's Apple Farm! We thought we were getting a head's start, but it turns out that getting there at 9:00am was a bit late. We were in line for an hour to get a parking spot, then another 20 minutes to get in the apple building. But, it was totally worth it! We were able to get some delicious apples ,which I made into my first apple pie today! It wasn't pretty, but it was yummy. We had a great day. Jaxon ran around the apple orchards, while I tried endlessly to snap pictures of him. He was not coorperative...but I did get a few. Ready or not fall is here! I am so excited!

THE STATE FAIR

We're going to the fair, fair, fair!!!! Sarah and her kiddos came into town for a few days, so we piled all the kids in the car and headed to the fair! They had a ball. Between eating junk, playing the corn box, riding tractors, riding horses, and looking at all the animals...they were all tuckered out by the time they got home. We had so much fun! What a fun way to spend the day with Olivia and Sevrin. Life just isn't the same without them around.

The New "DO"

I cut Jaxon's hair pretty short at the end of July, because I didn't want to cut it for a while. When Rich got home, he talked me into shaving it all off. He looked so funny! I was so sad after I did it...I will never do it again. I lived and learned. It has grown out quite a bit, but I am still waiting anxiously for it to come back!

My birthday cake

This was my birthday cake that the boys made me. Yes...this is how it was given to me during happy birthday songs! They put the frosting on it while it was still hot, then decided to help themselves to a "sliver" while I took a nap! I woke up and saw the cake...i was hysterical! Thank you boys for the great cake!

Jaxon's 3rd Birthday

Okay...so it has been a while.

Jaxon turned 3 at the end of July and we had a cute little family party. He seemed so happy to be 3! He was most excited about the doughnut and balloon...we could have skipped all the gifts. We had so much fun with everyone! I can't believe my baby is 3.

8 facts

Okay Kuliana...here it goes...

1. I am becoming a night owl...which is totally weird for me because I have always been a boring girl who goes to bed early. I think that will change soon, because I am going back to work starting Monday.
2. I just cut bangs...I think I love them...can't really decide.
3. I have never been an ice cream lover...but lately it is all I want to eat.
4. I love to walk in the morning. I really do.
5. I am reading a very odd book, I Am the Cheese. It is for my 8th grade pre-AP English class. Totally bizarre.
6. I miss my sisters...everyday.
7. My FAVORITE thing to do is go to the movies.
8. I am falling in love with being frugal. I get such a thrill out of getting a deal.
If you read this...your turn to write your 8 facts on your blog!

The Ford Reunion

Jax and I hitched a ride with my parents up to Utah this past weekend. We went to our family reunion that takes place every year up near Heber, UT. It is all of my grandfathers family...and it was a huge tadoo just like always. We had almost 300 people there. Jax was absolutly filthy by the time it was all over...he loved getting so dirty. It was so nice to visit with my grandparents. Everytime I am around them, I learn so many great things. It was so nice to spend time with Jackie and Evan and my parents, too. I am really glad we decided to go, it was so awesome to see Jaxon and his great grandparents hanging out together.
