Good Bye Summer

I am not sad to say good bye to this summer.  Although, I love warm weather and all the beauty summer brings, it was a hard summer for us. I am not ready for winter, but I do enjoy Fall, let's hope for better times and lots of fun memories this Fall.  And the arrival of baby Z!! 💙🥰  I am all caught up from the last two months of posts. 

One lonely, but beautiful bloom on my rose bush.

 

Soccer Season Fall 2025

 Fall soccer season has started!! Aj has moved up to U10, they have goalies,  and positions.  Aj is doing an awesome job.  I can't wait to see all he learns this season, he is number 3! 

Fun at the Balloon Festival

I tagged along with Kynedy and Nate's family to the balloon festival this year.   Ali had to work and Aj was at his cousins.  This year it was at the airport, and  I had a wonderful time,  great food and awesome company. We had drinks and yummy food from the food trucks.  And enjoyed watching the hot air balloons.  

Notice our photo bomber 😂

Myself and my sweet Kynedy! 

The sunset was amazing

Kynedy always working 

 

To the Library We Go

Aj and I finally made it to the new library.  It is very nice and has a great youth section.  We will for sure be going back soon!  Aj enjoyed the outside play area as well. 

 

 

Bathroom Update

We have a bathroom!! We still need to do some finishing touches,  but it is beautiful so far! I can't wait to get it decorated! 

 

Mozzy and Hemi

I had the pleasure of caring for my two grand kitties (Marley too) while Kynedy and Nates family spent some time at Lake Michigan. She has the cutest little guys!! 

They enjoyed posing for their pictures

Sweet AJ

Aj is doing great! He started 2nd grade this year and is doing well.  He continues to grow in taekwondo and tested up last month.  We are blessed to be able to spend lots of time with him, can't wait to have baby Z here and in my arms! 

Playing with his Legos

Off to second grade he goes,  looking like a  million bucks!!!

 

In the Yard

Again, someone dumped kittens in our alley! They were both gorgeous,  and they were rescued, thank the Lord, as I do not need anymore cats.  Please get your animals sprayed or neutered and rescue one of you are in the market!

We also always get a kick out of the goodies from the neighbors garden the squirrels steal and leave in our yard.

Dear Friends

Molly and Shirley came and stayed the weekend to visit.  We spent Friday evening catching up and just hanging out.  Saturday, Lori met us and we all headed to the casino for some fun.  Then finished off Sunday with a bit more visiting. Im so blessed to have so many friends and support! It was such a wonderful weekend. 

It was a very hot weekend!!!

Lori and I worked together at the  Tribune as well,  it was great catching up with her also

A sweet gift for AJ
