Weekend Fun

Julia had a fun weekend of playing outside and going to the flea market.  She met some new dog friends and even got to walk them all alone!  They were as tall as she was and were full of kisses.  Three Boxers from around the neighborhood.  I got a few good things at the flea market that I will post later....

New Camera!!!!

Our first official picture from our new camera! After we got robbed, we just went out and bought a cheap camera to get us by.  We are now finding out that you get what you pay for... it was just too slow and not good quality.  This one seems to be better and has lots of neat features.

Julia and Chester

Julia has a bit of an obsession with Chester, and he is just the right size to hug! She sometimes hugs him so tight that he chokes, but he still comes back for more. xoxo

Going, Going, Gone!

Julia played outside today for a few hours, since it was actually cool enough to stay out for longer than a few minutes without sweating your butt off.  The combination of fresh air and swinging put her right to sleep.  She had to have her baby with her too, her baby pumpkin...

Finished Products

After much thought we made this years selections for our pumpkins... an owl, deer head, ghost and fish tail, and Bevill 2012. 

Pumpkins!

We found a really neat pumpkin patch at a Methodist Church today.  Julia wanted to see if she could pick up all the pumpkins, no matter how big they were.  We took home 4 big pumpkins and one little baby pumpkin that Julia insisted on getting and carrying around all day.

Good Finds!

Julia and I went garage saling last weekend while Jared had duty.  He told me that morning to not go too crazy... I did pass up quite a few things that I really wanted, because I knew he wouldn't approve.  I did find a lot of estate sales, with people pretty much just giving stuff away!!! The one buy that I knew Jared wouldn't approve of was my final purchase at the estate sale. This awesome chair for $5, later when I removed the sticker I found another sticker that was there that said $35!  The tag on the bottom says it came from Corpus Christi, TX.  Some of the other great buys include some wooden bowls 25 cents a piece, hunting dog cups 3 for 75 cents (only 2 in the picture, Jared already took one to work he liked it so much!), the old barrel thing $20, a sack of Toy Story stuff, including a bedroom set and stuffed animals with tent $10, and a garden cart $5. Also not pictured is Julia's favorite beanie baby that she named Copper, this actually is one we bought like 3 months ago at a garage sale... well i found his twin and his daddy that is a larger version of the original.  Couldn't pry him from her arms to do the picture. It was a good day!

Mama Julia and the Mud Pie Maker

Now that the weather is starting to cool off...low 90's to upper 80's we can spend more time playing outside.  Julia was given a mud pie maker form a guy on Jared's boat, it was his kids and they out grew it.  She loves it even though we have not put any sand or water in it yet... waiting on a day that we can make a big mess and get dirty. Cant wait!
