Goodbye Summer!

The cooler temps.....

changing leaves....

and football Saturdays let me know summer is officially coming to an end!

As always I'm sad to see it go but welcome fall with open arms!

Jamie may or may not already have his Halloween costume,

I squeel with joy when I see all the fall decor in stores,

I'm already looking for my annual 3 pounds of gum (miss you Nikki! ;)

and I'm chomping at the bit to get the hubs bday gift outta the box!

A fire pit for our patio...eek!

Perfect for roasting mallows and enjoying those crisp fall evenings!

We spent the last official weekend of summer in style.

The hubs went down to good ole Manhattan, KS to watch our Wildcats clinch their first win of the season while Jamie and I lunched and shopped with some of our favorite ladies!

Jordan, D.A.R and Domestic Goddess gushed over my little man till their uterus' hurt while I entertained them with my birth story and the joys of being a mommy. It was the perfect afternoon out and Jamie was an absolute dream. Apparently he loves to shop! We even picked up his first official pair of jeans and a great hoodie for fall! (Just what he needed, more clothes!)

Then bright and early Sunday morning my little family of 5 (don't forget Kasey and Moose) piled into the car and headed to the lake for Jamie's first road trip! Again he was a trooper, sleeping the entire way! Though I must admit packing for an overnight trip isn't the one duffle bag it used to be....I was worried I was forgetting something...if I could have gotten the kitchen sink in the car I would have taken it too!

We spent the day on the boat with Grandma and Grandpa....enjoying the sunshine. Jamie got to put on his wee little swim trunks and first little life jacket. He looked too cute as always! It was a perfect day with a nice breeze to keep us cool...especially since I can't get in the water yet. (Darn those post partum rules!) We thought about dunking Jamie's toes in....but the lake was pretty cold and we figured all we'd get was screams and decided to save it for next summer.

Hope you all enjoyed the holiday weekend!!

And let's not forget who's 4 weeks old today!!
