I had a wonderful last week of fall break. I spent lots of time with my dogs, who, as you know are my children. And I spent lots of time with my friends catching up, playing cards, and just sharing stories, which is also always fun.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I have really been happy to see all of the fall colors popping out everywhere. Maples are my favorite tree and we have a gorgeous red maple in my front yard I've enjoyed watching change colors.

My granny is wanting to replace the Senior pictures she has of all the grandkids (all 8 of us who have graduated) and replace them with family pictures because everyone (with the exception of yours truly) is past that chapter in their life meaning that they all have families of their own and are married, almost married, and/or have kids or almost have kids. I pointed out to my granny that I don't really have a new chapter of my life going on with a new family (except my two wonderful Dogters (haha, daughters). So she told me she would start getting everyone else's new family pictures when I gave her mine. She said I would have a man in my life soon, which I told her probably would be years and years from now if ever and I'm not going to make her wait on pictures if she thinks I have to have a family before she replaces every one elses. So, I decided I needed a new family picture (by family, I mean my dogs and myself).

Which brings me to the next couple of pictures. My love of the fall, coupled with my love of my dogs, and the need for a new family picture brought me, my dogs, my sis and my dad to my most favorite place to go in the whole world to take my family picture. My amazing sis did a great job getting the pictures and I absolutely love them.



Sophie hates to have her picture taken. They were very excited about the water.
Of course I love to have my picture taken! With my new hair trim
I almost dropped Sophie and in the process Keri captured the "Oops!" face I made.
Sydni loves to give me kissies!
My favorite! Perfect background, both of my girls are looking toward the camera and I am not in mind blink! I love it!

My dad had to feed my uncles donkeys this weekend and Keri and I went with him to help out and of course to see the new babies. This one is the newest edition to the group.And I just love these two! I love the colors of them.I also went to Julie's mom's house for her annual bonfire/weenie roast and I got to meet Ethan! He's such a cutie. I got to hold him for a good amount of time too. He was so cute because he was asleep the whole time I held him and he kept making little noises like he was in the middle of a dream. If you look you can see his super cute little/big hand by his cheek. I mean Adorable!!!

It was quite funny because one of the women there told me that I look like a natural. hahahaha. I said a natural aunt/babysitter/friend who likes to hold babies. Not a mom. Not anytime soon. I do want kids one day but definitely not soon. I wouldn't mind being an Aunt though! :-D

Have a great week!
