Watermelon Ice Cream

Late night conversations with 3-year-old Tucker...

"Mom, stuffies don't talk, they don't poop so it's ok if you scratch their bottoms. Here mom, you can have 3 stuffies because you deserve 3. Can I smell your feet? Here smell mine, it smells like strawberries and this one smells like watermelon ice cream."

Harlan at Harvest

I wish that every day was Saturday and every month was October. 




This bush seemed to be revealing colors it's hidden all year!











I have been younger in October than all the months of Spring. ~ W. S. Merwin

38 Years and Still Wingin' It

This handsome fella's 38th Birthday happened to fall on a Wednesday and if you're from around these parts you know the only place to be on a Wednesday night is Gary's Bar & Grill in Grafton!

Wings, drinks and pink cupcakes! What more could a man want?

5 other fabulous couples/friends took the time to join us and man did we take advantage of the parents night out!

My wish is for you to know just how special you are to so many.

Cheers to many many more!

Miles and Miles of Reptiles

Pro: The big kids had a four day weekend!

Con: Jentry had a 7 AM flight out of OMA.

Pro: We got to eat out and stay in a hotel.

Con: Mason and I too had to get up early, drop Jentry off at the airport, and kill time until the city came to life.

Pro: Mason and I had the most special day at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

This day was perfect in every way. A Friday in October, minimal crowds, no lines, overcast but warm. No siblings to distract my attention from this handsome, energetic, 7-year-old boy. 

He wanted to see it all and see it all we did! Over six miles of stops at every potential attraction.  By the end of the day we were wiped, but it was a day we will never forget.








































Just you and me kid!
Oh and approximately 17,000 animals of 962 different species.
