CATCH-UP! Lots and Lots of Labor Day Fun!

IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN MY FRIENDSHIP WITH RUBY I MUST POST THE PHOTOS FROM LABOR DAY!

love ya Rubes!


rewind: Labor was lots of fun and FULL of events. that is why i cant catch-up my posting, so overwhelming.

We stayed in Sunriver to go to Phil's cousins wedding, we met up with Bre for lots of fun at her new house and we rock climbed with Scott & Crystal.

Sunriver

we went on a fun bike ride. we got busted by the cops..."walk your bikes through the tunnel" Jenn kept telling the officers we deserve to get punished.

Bem did really well sleeping with her helmet in her face. Unfortunately she a little bit of a break down when we were on our way home. Poor Bem.



Emma ate the whole thing! can you believe it!
Ruby is so naturally beautiful.
Anna's Wedding
The wedding was beautiful. It was in Noah's parent's backyard. You'll see toward the end of the ceremony the groomsmen had to give away their jackets, the wind was CRAZY. I didn't take many photos but the bride was gorgeous!

ROCK CLIMBING



It was Ruby's first time and of course Ruby was a natural. She basically just flew right up the wall. She conquered some routes that only Scotty was able to do. She is UNBELIEVABLY STRONG! She was meant for the Olympics, she missed her calling. You'll notice there are a lot more pictures of me... well because, it took me 3 times as long to get up the routes, but HEY I conquered my fears. Thanks Scotty and Crystal for taking us after a long long weekend of being tour guides.

Organic Food, yum!

My Parents House.

Did you know I grew up (since 4th grade) on a farm? Yes, I never had a summer job, I always worked on the farm to earn my $$$. I can buck hay, REALLY! Somewhere along the way I got super girly and squeely.

I love going to my parents house. I think Im bi-polar. I want to be crazy and move to the big city and live the urban life........BUT.... I just appreciate owning lots of land and growing your own food soooo much!

So until we do I will "grocery shop" at my parents.


So my cute little dad entered a bunch of his veggies at the state fair and came back with a TON of ribbons. He ended up with the purple ribbon which is granted to the farmer with the most points.... so like grand champion I guess. He is so funny!






My momma has work so hard on their garden and its huge like 1/2 acre! It has everything. I admire her. I hope I can be as hardworking as she is. She HATES to be bored and ALWAYS has a project around the farm or in the house.


While my mom and I were hanging out my dad and Phil butchered his kill! SICK!

My dad is sooooo proud of Phil. He thought it was so special that Phil wanted to butcher his deer together. Sometimes I think my dad likes Phil more than me. ha ha ha ;)

SICK DONT LOOK! this is Ace, Apple's future boyfriend and Pebbles, Apple's half sisiter.

The boys cut up the meat and my mom and I packaged it. so gross but Im proud of my guy!
We brought a TON of veggies home a week before this.
Pumpkins, pears, 4 kinds of tomatoes, tomatillos, zuchini, cucumber, green beans, oregon green giants, corn, egg plant, apples, banana peppers, jalepenos, carrots, 2 kinds of potatoes, rose mary, basil, oregano

"Movin to the country, gonna eat me a lot of..."

Guess what, SO FUN! I had no idea there was a peach tree in our back yard! There are big, plump juicy peaches. I ate one and had to eat it over the sink because the juices were running down my arm. Best peach I have ever had!



Speaking of fruit that grows on trees:

Apple is getting bigger and bigger. She is now 11wks old and weighs 14lbs. That is 3 lbs bigger than Jericho when we got him at I think 11wks!
Jericho got jealous that I was taking pictures of apple so he jumped onto the hottub.

And then he pushed her off! I was too slow to catch her! oops!

"Jericho! Bad Dog, be nice to your daughter!!"

To The Moms/Future Moms

After reading Beka's post about diapers, very informative, I found myself being thankful for all the great examples I have around me for when it is Phil and my turn for babies.

Always encouraging each other
blogging about research on products, pregnancy....

Im pretty sure I won't have to read any books about pregnancy or anything. I'll be totally prepared or close to a phone/computer to ask any of you a question.

I was asked once by a stranger,
"you must have children" "Nope all my friends do"

Im thankful for you all!
