a favorite memory

I have been lacking in blogging about our Wisconsin Trip (was brought to my attention by my uncle Greg! Sorry!!) So I will blog about certain memories at a time. Our last night in Wisco was epic. We all went down to the pool for some R & R and while I put away our stuff, my mom stuck her feet into the hot tub. (sorry mom, I'm outting you here!). AS SOON as she did so a man, (see below) came "swimming over" (more of a slow hop- as you can see via the pick, this was unpleasant to watch) and said "well how are YOU doing tonight?" Uh-oh....it started.  My dad, me and vaughn watched from the pool, I could NOT Stop laughing as he literally held her hostage...he would NOT leave her alone. 45 minutes later and he was STILL talking to her...about things such as different kinds of Wisconsin cheeses and history of the town. Strange. He wasnt even from there. My mom, trying to be a nice lady just kept saying "woooow" "woooow". over and over. It.Was.Hillarious. My cousins ended up coming down as well and we were all laughing so hard as he hung himself over the side of the hot tub chatting with NO ONE but my mom. Poor thing, she tried engaging in conversation with us all instead and he just kept talking. My dad was laughing so hard. We all felt bad for her, but whats a person to do? As he was getting out to leave (finally, after what felt like DAYS) my cousins husband was walking in. The weirdo stopped and asked /yelled him about whether he was bringing a glass bottle into the pool because that is PROHIBITED! He then continued to pull some wall mounted thing down before he exited....a HUGE sigh of relief was let out , along with giggles. What a memory. ITs hard to put into words....so, if this post seems dumb, then I guess you just had to be there!

all of us gawking at the train wreck situation. Even vaughn cant stop watching.

Poor mom. Oh. Just look. Yeah, you can feel her pain. The crack kept getting bigger and bigger- us gawkers were suffering to!

a delicious find...

Is anyone else out there as addicted to pinterest.com as I am? Its doubtful, but if are- we shall be best friends for life! I am soo in love with this actually, that I am planning a pinterest party for when I get settled into the new house. Ideas galore on there I tell ya! In fact, I stumbled upon this website http://foodgawker.com/ on there and frankly, I am head over heals.

Its safer to be head over heals in love with a website than a man. I have learned. This website will not disappoint! I will be making the salted caramel recipe on there asap.

Check it out. If you fall in love too- its okay. We can share. Its not a man.

It is Vaughn's first picture day today at preschool ....oh.my.cuteness. She looked SO cute and was practicing her smile all morning. I cant wait to see them. And PS the cost of school pictures is outrageous.

Breathe.

 

It is finally fall y'all!!!  I could sit on the porch all day and breathe it in. I drove past a field the other night, late, and saw the glow of the combine lights and the haze around it and my heart melted, and a calm set in. I.Love.Fall. I love everything about it. The apples, the desserts, the way the air is crisp and cool, the candle scents, the activities, the smell of hay, the late night farmers combining and  readying for harvest. I love the football season and photo ops and the fact the the holidays are beginning. My favorite part of the year. October-December. Ahhh. Full of family, good memories and good food.
