EXCEEDED PHOTO STORAGE?!?!

So, any of you fellow bloggers in blogland ever exceeded your "free photo storage space?" I guess I didn't realize there was a limit. So...you mean...I just can't keep uploading photos and photos forever and ever on this thing? Surely there's a way without having to pay, right?! 

I've been told I'm at my limit. I'm not sure I want to pay a monthly fee. So, do I just start another blog? I guess I'm not seeing any other real options here. Help a sister out! 

Please and Thank You!

~Yours Truly :)

New Do's

Emri's hair was getting long, but looking thin (the fact that Jet loves to pull handfulls of it out at a time when he "plays" wasn't helping the problem)! 

 We've been discussing a haircut with her for weeks now and just recently she has let us know she wants her hair "like mommas." The night we were driving home from finding pumpkins at the pumpkin patch I asked Emri if she had a good time and got the pumpkins she wanted? She said with a sad pout, "it was fun, but I really wanted to get my haircut." :( Totally random! I said we could make an appointment to get her haircut, she then insisted that I call Brooke RIGHT THEN and ask! Well, it was 8:30 at night! I called Brooke for E's sake and we were able to schedule an appointment! She's so funny! Here's her cute new bob :) I love it on her! She really likes it and asks me in the mornings if she still has short hair. It already looks fuller, so hopefully it will grow out a little more evenly now.

 Jet got a fresh cut too that day. He was NOT excited to have his cut... even a sucker didn't phase him. We made it through, and this is a shot from that night. 

PUNKIN' HUNTIN'

Momma Max gathered us at the Mabey's Pumpkin Patch again and let us all have a hay-day picking pumpkins. 

 Jet wanted every one he touched :)

 Emri made sure Kolby did all the heavy lifting for every "perfect" pumpkin she found (and I can assure you there were many)!

Birthday for a Princess

I just can't believe THIS was a whole year ago! Keeley babe turned ONE! She's still as pretty as ever and growing like a weed! And, she's 100% daddy's girl! It's fun to see my big, tough, older brother be such a softie when it comes to his baby girl!

 She wasn't too sure at first...

 ...but it didn't take long to figure out the goodness in front of her!

 Oh, those eyes! Such a pretty little thing!

Jet @ 20 Months

Besties....sportin' their new haircuts :)

At 20 Months, Jet:

• is keeping us all on our toes! 
• is full of spunk, personality, independence, and love.
• wants to brush his teeth 85 times a day... cuz he wants toothpaste, not because his parents are OCD dental professionals!
• loves closing doors, cupboards, and drawers.
• has no new teeth to mention this month (11 total).
• is now a Lake Powell pro :)
• likes to pee pee in the potty before baths.
• Misses Emri while she's at school, so we try to keep busy while she's gone. It's fun to have some one on one time with my little buddy!
• is pretty cuddly before naps and bedtime (i think he's stalling the actual getting in bed part, but it totally works on cuddle-suckers like me and dad)!
• has some happy attraction to pizza! It really has magical powers! When I ask if he wants pizza for dinner he squeals, giggles, and eats it like a champ...spazzing out the entire time! 
• has a handful of words he prefers to use: momma, dadda, no, yeah, bubu (bubble--for bubble bath).

TOFW

My wonderful mother in law has made it a little tradition the last few years to treat all her daughters/daughters-in-law to an uplifting weekend at "Time Out For Women." It's so fun to have all 8 of us together for some un-interrupted girl time! The husbands are all amazing and agree to (are forced to) keep the kids overnight! 

Jaimi, Me & Mindy @ Friday night session. We stay in Logan at Jaimi's house, have treats after the meeting and stayed up WAY TOO LATE!

 And I mean 12:30 am is TOO late, when this is what Jaimilyn and I were doing at 5AM the next morning. BARF! We did 11 miles! I have to say I'm proud of myself. This may be no big accomplishment for some of you readers, but until this point I hadn't run anything further than 8 miles. My half marathon is next weekend...I think I'm ready now :)

 Saturdays session was so great....awesome speakers and musical performers. Tiff, Sharon, Michelle, Mindy.

 Jaimi and Jami

Mindy, Jaimi, Michelle, Sharon, Jami, Ingrid, Tiff, Megan 

 I am so, so blessed to have all these women in my life. Awesome examples. Loving sisters. Amazing Mothers. True friends. 

Fall Fun

Emri's class had their first field trip! It was at Black Island Farms in Syracuse. We went on a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch, then spent a couple hours playing.

 Naps in the corn box. That's normal, right?

 Emri's face tells how HOT it was that day. I'm only complaining because I way over-dressed and sweated my butt off the whole time we were there!

 Our first leaf-rake of the year. I'm scared there will be at least 10 more! We have a ton of trees!

 A cute little playdate with a friend Kendyl. Kendyl's auntie does nails, so she had us come to the salon so kindly painted their nails! Emri was in heaven!

 Love that my friends have kids the same age as mine! They get along so well!

 We did a spontaneous zoo trip with Angi and her kids since the were off track. Spontaneous works great for me these days! It was my kiddos first time to Hogle Zoo. I'd have to say this polar bear stole the show! She had such a funny routine of swimming under the water, then popping right up at the glass. She'd swim away on her back then do it all over again! 

 The baby giraffe was only 3 weeks old and so cute!

 The crew...this was another hot day that I anticipated to be cold (IT IS the middle of October afterall)!

 It's not a trip to the zoo without a carousel ride :)

Made me miss Ohio and the amazing Columbus Zoo.... the kids probably didn't notice a difference though. If there's animals, they're happy!
