Birthday Week

We had this great week of celebration

Thank you aunt Sharon from Phoenix for the wonderful book of Connor

I made some aprons from tea towels that I found on Pintrest

then I gave Connor a knife and some peppers to slice

It's always fun to wrap up a person in a blanket so tight they cannot escape!

then pick them up 

step one warm the blanket in the dryer...(it's easier to get them to cooperate that way)

then you can swing them about...

fall is a great time to just sing out loud

and go for a long bike ride

go ahead and find a cool yard full of Halloween decorations and use them for pictures!! Thanks Sheila's mother in law!!

Taking a break at the French Laundry for some Chi Tea!! 

and pancakes bigger than the plate

uh oh... no bikes... lets move on...
