we took it outside

I'm a fanatic about life.

I am.
Optimistic & enthusiastic about.....
pretty much everything.
I like to brush the gunk aside
and eat a cupcake.
But when daylight savings comes around
during the Fall,
I get kinda panicky.

the eve of Daylight Savings

Long, sunshiney days are coming to a close.
Cold, COLD, dark and dreary winter days are near.
And can you tell,
winter is not my favorite.
I know, you're all shocked.
Could it be possible that Bree knows how to whine?
Oh, yes.
I'm probably ridiculous but I felt like this past week
had to be spent outside as much as possible.
To sample every ray of sunlight,
revel in each bright Aspen,
glory in the dazzling blue skies,
and relish the warmth of this perfect Autumn week.

And outside it was!
5 trips to the park + 4 picnics = real good times

It's even worth the tantrums she throws
when it's time to leave.

Oh, and we got family
pictures taken.
You'd think my little fam would
be used to this kind of stuff by now.
Man alive,
was it hectic!
Thank you to my friend, Tami,
for puttin' up with the bunch of us!

And of course,
Bugg is ready to sack out.
And Ella broke his glasses.....again.

The cute couple in the middle are my parents
(note: Bugg's missing piece to his glasses)

Uncle Kenny & Brice

Food tastes so good outside.
Especially when magical leaves are falling
all around you.

Kisses do, too.

Marie ~ yumm peaches,
thank you!

We are still getting a total kick
out of Bugg's new skills.
He LOVES sitting up.
Can you imagine how empowered he must feel?!!

Oh, life, I love you.
And alright, alright,
winter will be welcomed with a smile.
