Fall is here!!!

We went up to the eagle preserve yesterday... a bit overcast...but not pouring like it is today.. so not a bad day! =-)

I have been visualizing this shot for several years...waiting till the kids are big enough... and then Aubrey the pill wouldn't hold Carson's hand... Oh well. The colors are just starting so we'll have to go back up and maybe she'll cooperate next time. She was inseparable from her blankee yesterday too... the color doesn't go with everything else.

Oh yeah and this is about 18 miles up the highway. we got to about 15 mile when I remembered I had left my camera disk in this computer to move all the photos off, so I could have a clean disk. And since I had dressed them for this purpose and driven out for the purpose of photos...I did drive all the way back home to get it! Carson told me to get my brain and put it back in my head too! =-) Smarty pants...

AHHHHCHOOO... cold season is here... and Aubrey has one and Carson is getting one...FUN!

I guess this is why she didn't want to kiss him back...or let him give her another one!

Goofy kids..

Love the little curl in the back..

AHH, Highbush Cranberries...LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell.. Am I the only one?!? Everyone else thinks they smell like stinky feet...

A Carson shot... almost got me in the right spot..

rainy day

It's a cold rainy day today... Yesterday was nicer. We went up to the eagle preserve and took some fall photos... the colors are just starting to turn, so we'll have to go back when they are in full glory. I love fall..the colors, the smells, the picking and preserving. And I enjoy the first bit of winter... just wish it wouldn't last so long...guess I ought to quit complaining or move south! And I do like it here...most of the time!

I have made a ton of these panel skirts for me and others and finally got up the nerve to make one for Aubrey...without a pattern....just the idea.. It was super easy and I think I'll do more. It is hard to see in the photo...but there is a teal panel and a purple panel on either side of the butterflies.... they are all batiks...I love the batiks.

I have some holiday flannel for a skirt for me and I think there will be enough left to make a matching one for Aubrey.

Poor Carson...he asked " Can I have a skirt?!?" So I need to get a little boys shirt pattern and make him a shirt. I have some soft green plaid flannel just for that purpose. He does love green!

Carson has been asking to take my picture when I take his and I am getting brave enough to let him use my camera.. He is getting better about getting the subject in the frame!! =-)

Birthday Boy

These are all out of order...oh well...at least they are posted!!

Carson blowing out is #4 candle on top of his lemon cheesecake...

snuggling with 3 Huckles and Lowly worm and his doll quilt..

He wasn't impressed when he opened this...it is a dress for Aubrey...

Flannel Doll quilt...

Lowly Worm..

He requested Carrot cake...so I got one in Juneau.. This is at George's house... wearing his #4 t-shirt....

Tiger Carson and Jocelyn George...

Time goes by so fast.. and life certainly isn't boring any more! Carson is such a smart kiddo.... but what do I know since he is my first! I could be a bit biased! =-)

Aubrey isn't far behind...gotta keep up.. She is really starting to talk and express herself..

a few of her words...

"ceecee" Horsey

"shish" fish

"darsey" Carson

Can't think of anything else and Carson is bugging me to get off the computer so he can play his games! Where did my baby boy go?!?
