Fall Photo Shoot

As a fundraiser the County Recreation Department offered family photographs for $20 last Saturday. Of course, I had to sign up for it. It was a 15 minute session and we got to keep the CD with all the pictures on it, so that we can print whatever photos we like. What a great deal! The photo shoots were done at Cover's in Tuolumne.

Here is one of my favorites of Quentin:

One of me that turned out pretty decent...

Quentin was having some fun in this one...(No, he did not drop the pumpkin.)

Quentin was tired of pictures by this time, so he was making as many silly faces as possible:

Sneak Preview

Here is a picture of Quentin in part of his Halloween costume...I love him!

Pumpkin Patch

Today Quentin and I went to the Dell Oso Farms pumpkin patch with Justin, Chandel and Lily. It's quite a drive from our place, but it really is worth it. They have tons of pumpkins, hay rides, a haunted house, a huge corn maze, hay mazes for the kids, pony rides, and best of all...pumpkin blasters! It was our first trip in the new truck. I so completely love it! I'm so glad that I exchanged the last one "like it was a shirt" to quote Miss. Jeanne.

We didn't do the corn maze because there were so many people in line and last year according to Quentin, "it made his butt sweat". No kidding! That's what the kid said! We did do the pumpkin blasters though and oh man are those things cool.

They set us up with blaster #14! Aub can you believe it?! How funny is that? I took a picture just for you. :-) A lot of you out there are probably wondering what the big deal with the #14 is...well, that's another blog on another day.

Isn't Lily the cutest? This was taken at the end of the day and she was pretty much done with the whole trip.

She just loves "her buddy".

I love this picture of Justin, Quentin and Lily.

Here's one of me looking rather large. Jeesh! I've got to quit eating! I promise I will just as soon as I finish the goodies from the Columbia Candy Kitchen gift box that I won in the raffle at Cajun Fest!

And here is the Seel Family. Lily was not being very cooperative with the picture taking so I made Quentin stand in front of me and I tickled him...that made Lily laugh and I got a shot of her smiling.

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday Addis!

Today is my favorite newphew's birthday! Yep, that's right! The B0-Bad-Ass, as I like to call him, is 15 today! Wow! That makes me how old? Okay, let's not talk about that. Anyway, I want to wish Addison a VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you!

Here is a picture of him on his 13th birthday....Isn't he cute!?!

Yeah Baby!

I'm a "Truck Girl" once again! Well, not officially, but hopefully the paperwork will be done on Monday. If they don't come back with the financing I want then I'm giving the truck back. It's a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500. It's four-wheel drive and doesn't have a ton of miles on it. Oh, I so hope that I don't have to give it back. Here she is...

Mom came into town and visited us for a few days. We had a really good visit. Mom made a pumpkin chocolate chip cake for the girls in the office and they LOVED it! We're all dieting, but that was put on hold for a few days so that we could eat cake. It would have been a tragedy to let it go to waste. Seriously!

Quentin scored two goals in his soccer game today. He was terrific on defense too! The whole team really worked well together...there was even passing involved!!!!

Here are photos of my cute Halloween decorations. I really like the witch. She is so cool!
