never trust the kids with your phone. EVER.

Hey, kids!! Have you seen mommy's phone?? *giggles..... 

they cant be trusted. 

*viewer discretion is advised. These range from cute & funny to disgusting and unnatural. 

nothing much..

 its pretty much my favorite time of year. Pumpkins, mums, leaves crunching under my feet, the need for my favorite knit sweater. Yes, fall is good. i would love to upload about 50 pictures right now, but my kids are fighting over the last fruit roll up, and i think i smell blood. so... until next time. i leave you with these.

Outdoors with the horse, Violet. She is now 6 months. 

He thinks he's big enough to climb into daddy's truck. And ya know what?? He IS! *sniff

This is a terrible phone pic, but i wouldnt be a good mom if i forgot to mention the most thoughtful gift i have ever received from my daughter, Bella. Its a meat necklace. Necklace made of roast beef. If that's not love, then i dont know what is.  this gift will be hard to top.

Cool fire escape at an old church in Northern Illinois. The world needs more of these.
