Wonderful Pumpkin Weekend

The Hanson family had a wonderful weekend of carving pumpkins. Tim's dad Rob came up for a visit. Friday he spent the day with Shannon seeing the sights in Washington Dc... from what they said they had a wonderful time. Saturday Tim and his dad went to play around of golf with Jon and George. They rain did hold out for a bit but I think they only got 14 or 15 holes in. But they still had a great time. Lily and I didn't do to much on Sat while the guys were golfing... Saturday evening was nice. After Tim and his dad returned home soaking wet from there golf game Shannon came down. We had a nice family dinner and after that we all cleared the table and carved pumpkins. I put Lily in her Halloween outfit, thinking that I would be able to get some cute pictures but no luck she wasn't really in to the pumpkins this year. She didn't like the feel of the pumpkin guts lol. All the pumpkins did turn out really well. Oh also I made my first but surely not my last pumpkin pie this year. We ended the night playing cards and eating pie. It was really nice to have a family night with Rob and Shannon. Sunday Rob treated use all for lunch before he headed back down the road to Florida.

We don't have a whole lot going on this week but are looking forward to Saturday. Lily is going to a toddler Halloween party that one of the parents from our daycare is having. Tim and I really enjoy watching Lily play and interact with other kids her age.

If Jamie was real!

Ok so if Jamie was really I think he would be a cross between these two guys.

Oh Where Oh Where has my Child Gone?

I use to have this sweet lovely child living at my house but now I have a whiny grumpy little person driving me crazy. I don't know what is up with Lily she has been no fun the past two days. I get her home from daycare and she is just super whiny and nothing makes her happy. I feel bad that she is so miserable but she is making all of us miserable. Last night she was really nice an woke Tim and I up from 2:30 to 3:30... I tell you it was really nice to have a good hour break from a otherwise restful night of sleep. I get her to daycare this morning and she is happy running around playing with her friends and teacher. Tim and I are starting to think that maybe she doesn't like us anymore. Tim's dad Rob is coming to stay at our house for a few days to visit. I am hoping that tonight will be a better night or he might want to pack up and stay at a hotel lol! I am wondering if she is getting some of her back teeth in. I mean she doesn't have a fever or even a runny nose. I told Tim last night I was going to go ahead and let the fairs take her lol! He didn't think that was too funny at 3:00 am this morning.

Books

So this summer I totally got into the Twilight Saga... thank you Nikki and Grandma haha. I loved it and I also was able to get Jenn, Shannon M and my mother-in-law to read them as well. Jenn Grandma, Danielle and I are all Team Edward haha. Jenn and Nikki are Team Jacob. Jenn is planning a New Moon party for when the movie comes out in Nov. I really hope this movie is better then the Twilight movie. Well after reading the 4 Twilight books I was looking for something classic to read so I picked up Wuthering Heights. It was a long hard read for me but I stuck with it and I am glad. I had no idea what the book was about other then some kind of love story. Then when I was done with that I picked up The Time Traveler's Wife. I have to say I didn't enjoy this book at all. The story was kind of hard to follow because of the time changing back and forth. Before I read the book I was looking forward to seeing the movie but since I read the book I really have no interest in seeing the movie.

I have recently started a new series called Outlander. There are 7 books in this series so far and I think there will be an 8th. This first book in the series is called Outlander oh and is written by Diana Gabaldon. The main characters are Clair and Jaime. It took me a good 100 -200 pages to really get into this book but once I did I totally fell head over heels in love with it. I am now getting read to finish the second book in this series and am looking forward to starting the 3rd some time this week. I have recommended Outlander to Jenn and Shannon H (my sister-in-law) and so far both really seem to be enjoying it as much as I have.

Fall Goals!

Here are some goals I would like to work on this Fall.

1. Work out at least once a week.
2. Go on a date with Tim at least once a month.
3. Blog more!

OK so it had been FOREVER

I know it has been like 5 months almost 1/2 a year since a last wrote... what can I say I have been busy... not really I have been lazy when it comes to blogging. I wish I would have kept up with it better.

Life is good all is well. Tim and I are doing wonderful and Lily continues to grow and enrich our lives every day. She just turned a year old on Oct 4th. Tim and I hosted a Picnic in the Park themed birthday party for her. It was a lot of fun, the weather was great and lots of her friends from the daycare showed up. We all really enjoyed watching Lily play with her friends. She is not only walking but running now. She talks a lot but doesn't say many words. She does say Dadada da all the time and also out side. haha Lily and Bristol are great friends and share many meals together lol.

Life is good!
