time to breathe

today I need some time to breathe.
I am moving way too fast
I want to soak up each warm day
ah- I know they will not last

I want to capture moments
with the family that I love
instead I whine and fuss and mope
not sure what I'm thinking of

Happy Apple Farms



We went to Happy Apple Farms last Wednesday. We had a great time picking blackberries. Unfortunately they lost their apple crop in a freeze last April. The girls found the perfect pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Time with our dear friends... a picnic lunch in the apple groves...beautiful weather... ah... a perfect day.
Are these the perfect pumpkins or what?!!? My favorite part of the day was watching Cookie try to carry hers.

We liked the tractor ride around the farm ( even if we did lose a water bottle along the way)

She's 10

Birthday eve-- we got too eat in an old plane--turned restaurant. The birthday girl was excited about eating over the wing. We even got to play in the old cockpit.



We took a fantastic field trip to Fountain Creek park to do a pond study on the big day. We celebrated with our homeschool friends and chocolate covered pretzels. That night we went up to see Grandma at the rehab hospital. We took our neighbor friends and a pink cake.

M with her friends and her new Felicity American Girl doll.



Happy happy birthday sweet girl.

Labor Day Weekend

We LOVE to go to the Taste of Colorado on Labor Day weekend. Great way to spy out some new restaurants.



C liked her chocolate desert... M didn't like her fried Cactus...

City Park in Denver is one of our favorite places...
Colorado Springs hosts a balloon festival every year. We love chasing them all over town...
