Soakin Up The Sun

Oh Hell...where did the time go.  I honestly thought I was kind of on top of my blog.  Then I noticed that the last post was dated September 19th.  Oops!  Well let me bring you up to speed.

Dean - It will be Dean ? Erickson that will be joining our family come January.  Yep...we finally decided on a name.  If we can come to an agreement on a middle name we may end up changing ? to something more substantial.  Now say it with me guys....DEAN.  He is destined to be a happy and handsome little fellow with a name like that.

Kaci is growing fast.  I feel like the past 30 days she has hit some major milestones.  Milestones in my book anyway....not sure if there is a data base for actual milestones.  For one she can now pump her legs on the swing.  Here is a picture of her and her cousin in action:

She also offered me some legitimate assistance in the kitchen.  It wasn't the typical Kaci in the kitchen...you know where she is trying to help but instead making a huge mess by putting her filthy hands in whatever it is I am mixing in a bowl.  This time she actually helped me by unloading and putting away all of the silverware and plastic dishes from the dishwasher.  She did a great job!  

We have basically been spending as much time outside lately as possible soaking up the fall sun.  Get it while we can.  We are on the verge of the fall/winter/spring rainy span.  Some time at the park, some time at the farm and some time in Prineville has helped keep us off the couch (though not so much that I have fallen behind on Sons of Anarchy or The Walking Dead...don't you worry).

Hammock time at PV!

Hunting for rocks at the lake

 

And a break to dip her feet in the water

And the best part about so much time spent outdoors?  PEACE AND QUIET!
