The Treats of the Evening!

Just a few of the cute trick or treaters that stopped at our door!!

Fabulous Fall

We are enjoying the extended fall.
Lots of beautiful colors and a few surprise late blooms.
Here's our clematis that had been "finished" for several weeks!!

This little snapdragon found its way out of one of the pots (last summer) and put down roots in the rocks. It came to life this spring
and has bloomed most of the summer
....and now a fresh supply of late flowers!

The Latest

Sure was nice to have visitors over the weekend!!

Yummy....having a little whipped cream!

Walking to the park with Grandpa.

Playing at the park.

She likes the new bed!!

Some assembly is required.....

Here is my Sunday afternoon project...

BEFORE....

AFTER!!!
This is our new guest bed. If you are over 15 months old -- but 50 pounds or less -- you can snuggle up for the night. I can't take credit for the quilt; I bought it at a quilt auction with just this purpose in mind!!!

Almost Two!

Aubrey's birthday is on Wednesday and she'll be TWO. Wow. So we took a trip down there on Saturday to give her a couple of gifts and get a few hugs. Very nice!!

We gave her a back pack for her birthday.

I also made her a tote bag.
Here she is with back pack, tote bag, and crazy hair!!


She entertained us. (of course)


And it sounds like she was still enjoying the back pack and tote bag at bedtime!
(Thanks for the picture Travis!)

Sunday Fun

We took a little day trip to Sioux Falls and enjoyed the zoo with Aubrey, Travis and Lisa.

Grandpa tolerates most anything when it comes to Aubrey.
Even if it means covering up with her new quilt! :)

Here it is......
