Family, football, fire, and fun times!

Mom taking photos...AGAIN.
My cousin Ryan playing football, he's the one who gets to hand the ball to the quarterback.
Miles, Grandpa, and Great-Grandma cheering on Ryan.
Give me an R, a Y, an A, an N...what's that spell? RYAN!! GO RYAN!
Sitting on Grandpa's lap for a campfire. Miles is there too, but you just can't see him.

This is how Mom found Miles sleeping when she got home from her night with friends.

Last weekend Mom, I, and Miles went to Iowa. Mom had her 15 year class reunion so we made the trip down. We had a lot of fun. We got to go and watch Ryan play football. It was sooooo cold that morning. Last time we went to watch him it was sooooo hot that we used our umbrellas for shade. They lost the game but put up a good fight.

Grandpa Mike started a campfire for us. That was so fun to watch the fire, sitting on his lap with Miles. It was a perfect night for a fire - cool but sitting next to the fire kept you warm.

When Mom returned from her class reunion she went in to check on Miles. He was sleeping in the office on a trundle bed. She found him half on the trundle and kneeling over on the bed. She snapped a photo - because she's always taking pictures and catching those photo moments! I do have to say, she caught a good one here. :)

Grandma and I playing make-up.

Miles needs a little more practice on applying eyeshadow!

Harvest time!

Yep, nothing says October more than seeing all the combines, tractors, wagons, semi trucks, etc....welcome to harvest time! On the way home from Iowa, my mom and I stopped at the farm to see Daddy and Grandma and Papa Tractor to see how they were coming along with harvest. It's a good thing Miles can't unbuckle himself because once he saw the combine and tractor in the field and our buggy was headed onto the field he let out the biggest squeal.

Once we had our combine ride, we went back to the house to see Grandma and Great-Grandma. We got to put makeup on Grandma, which was a lot of fun. Miles doesn't know how, but that's okay because he's a boy.

Diggers, backhoes, cement trucks, OH MY!

Miles watching from the laundry tub.
Watching from afar.
Me at the park - just me, Mom, and my baby dolly.
I'm getting so good at riding my back now!
Today - Oct. 11th and the high was near 80 degrees!

It's been busy around here with summer ending and school starting. My mom actually told me some good news the other day. I will now be going to school 2x a week instead of just Wednesday evenings. I now get to be in the same class as my best friend Harper! I now will go on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 - 2:00 p.m. I'm so excited!

They started to build a house kiddy-corner from our house in the back/alley. Mom found a perfect spot for Miles to be the foreman...the laundry tub in the laundry room. He will spend hours in there if Mom would let him. He also likes to make sure things are going okay ground level. Mom makes sure he doesn't get too "in the way." He sure gets excited though when a new truck shows up.
