Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for my husband and his fearlessness with battling mice. We have had quite the issue with mice lately. He has put traps all over and checked them before I saw anything gross. We also bought these things that omit some sort of sound and make the mice go away (doesn't hurt the dog). Hopefully all of this will work.

 

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we took a trip to the pumpkin patch to get Ruby her first pumpkin. Although I was looking forward to taking pic's of Ruby in a cute fall outfit, we had to pull out a summer dress because it was just too hot. Ruby loved the pumpkins and watching the ducks in the pond. She got to take her first hay ride (minus the hay) out to the patch with Mama, Daddy, and Grandpa Faith. By the end of the day she was absolutely exhausted but still seemed to enjoy her first visit to Huber's Farm.

Ruby and her new hat!

Happy Birthday

Today is Brian's Mom's Birthday!  Happy Birthday Grandma Laffin and sorry we couldn't be with you to celebrate!

First Steps

Sorry I haven't posted this week...guess it has been busyier than usual.  So, last weekend Ruby took her first steps by herself.  I wouldn't say she is a walker now but she is quickly on her way.  Good job Ruby!

Butternut Squash Soup

If you haven't noticed I love cooking. Yesterday I had a friend over for dinner while Brian worked late. We had this delicious butternut squash soup. I have never made anything like this before but it turned out great! The towel underneath was made by my friend Terri. I got it at a gift exchange at church last year. So, you should make this soup, it was easy.

Thankful Thursday and Happy Birthday Austin!

Yesterday was our nephew Austin's 5th Birthday! Happy Birthday Austin! I did not forget I just didn't have time to blog. I was thinking about Austin today and what I was going to blog about (it is thursday) and thought about how happy I am to have so many neices and nephews. Brian and I are blessed to have 9 nieces and nephews ranging from age 17 to age 22 months. Here they are (including Ruby from oldest to youngest).
