On:
(tank, shoes, shorts, leaves.. priceless)
I’m asking a genuine question and not complaining (kind of;), but why does the crunchy leaves under our feet perfect weather season last 1/40000th as long as the snow and ice under our feet season? 8 miles @ 8:14 average and my first strength workout back in a few weeks.
I took Skye and her friends to Yogurtland after school on Friday, and because of the Panda next to Yogurtland, Beck chose that over froyo. I love to get as many flavors as possible into my bowl.
Saturday morning, Skye had an early game, and the coach’s dog is there every game. Seeing her is the best reward for Skye after working hard on the field.
Knoxie boy had a football game, and he crushed his new play.
And the real reason we are able to get my kids to each of their things when we have multiple places to get to at the same time–> my nieces.
We drove up north to visit my in-laws. I drove because I was quite carsick, and when the GPS told me we had 26 miles to go, I drove those 26 miles and thought about running the same distance, and it shocked me. THE MARATHON IS SO LONG. This kind of scared me for Boston;)
We went to a pumpkin patch right next to my in-law’s house to pick out some pumpkins.
They fed us and had so many fun activities for the kids.
Sunday night was dedicated to celebrating these three and their birthdays (Knox, my nephew, and his wife that we adore)!
We brought dessert. This has been a family favorite for quite some time.
Hot fudge not pictured.
We got our family pictures back from Lindsey Orton! I couldn’t be happier with them.
Love love love.
Lindsey took me and Brooke’s family pictures for years, then me and Andrew’s wedding photos, and plenty of photos since. She is the best.
TIME FLIES.
And a special shoutout to Beck’s watch tan line;)
—————————————————————————————–
I would love to hear about your weekend!
Have any family favorite recipes?
Do you get carsick? What helps you?
We had a busy Saturday doing yard work then meet friends for supper. My stomach hurt afterwards from laughing so much. I hosted my cousin (on my dad side,) his wife and my mom for supper last night. They try to visit my mom about every 18 months. It was great to catch up with them. I made spatzle which is family recipe as a special treat for my mom.
Our daughter used to get car sick, I think she outgrown it. I do get motion sickness on planes if I look out the window as we taxi. That is one reason I always take an aisle seat.
Our weather has changed from 90 on Saturday to 50 today.
Your family pictures are great.
Busy but fun weekend. Saturday was Homecoming so all the things, making a bouquet, steaming clothes, doing hair and shuttling around taking pics. Fun but exhausting. Thankful the rain held off till yesterday so it was a great day.
Our Thanksgiving stuffing and Christmas meatballs are go to’s.
I used to get car sick all the time. Now I drive everywhere:-)
Your family photos turned out so good. Great backdrop.
Your family pictures turned out fabulous! Time does fly by!
Family favorite recipes from growing up are pork and barley hot dish and for every birthday we make a homemade chocolate cake and frosting.
I spent Saturday taking care of my oldest recovering from wisdom teeth removal–man is that rough. Also a date. He got 2 kittens, they provided hours of entertainment. And we shot our bows and arrows. I have a long bow, I’m not good haha.
Have a fabulous Monday, Janae!
You have such a beautiful family, Janae! Love the pictures.
We were at the northern tip of hurricane Isaias, so our weekend was a little rowdy weather-wise. No damage and our family in Florida came through it without any issues.
I have a lot of family recipes! I cooked a favorite for our ladies retreat a few weeks ago and everyone love it. They had never had Tamale Pie, but they devoured it, which made me super happy! (https://mcmomentsandmemories.blogspot.com/2010/11/friday-foodie.html)
Oh yeah, I get so carsick! I absolutely have to stay off my phone, eyes focused on the road, and Dramamine in advance.
Love the family photos! I want Skye’s skirt!
My weekend was work and running. Today I recover from both.
I’ve always gotten carsick and my husband taught me this trick that actually worked – roll down the window and stick your hand out for a while. He’s a neurologist and explained it has something to do with your brain catching up to your surroundings… at least that was my takeaway from more complex jargon 😉 I hope it helps you, too!!
That dessert sounds so good! I’m saving it to make!
I can’t believe your nephew is married and all grown up. They are such a cute couple!
Have a great week, and yes it’s a bummer that crunchy leave warm sun and cool air weather is so short compared to swelter summer and freezing winter.
welcome!
