My 365...

Enjoying another day of this grandma gig...I love it!  Brandon and Cooper are still visiting, and having my grandson here with me has been awesome.

This evening grandpa and I took a nice quick bike ride, and now we are having a relaxing evening of family.

Life is good.  :)

My photos of the day...

Random fun in my world today.

Uncle Garret brought home a huge antique wall mirror.  Cooper thought it was pretty cool.
 Cooper with uncle Casey.
 Cooper with uncle Blake.

 Miss Lilly is mortified.  Cooper and uncle Blake put a diaper on her.  lol :)
 Quick evening bike ride.
 Beautiful blue skies today.

For me today it was on a pier by a beautiful lake and a brilliant October day.  :)

My 365...

Cooper is here!  Brandon, Cooper and their puppy RayRay are in town for a few days, and spending time with us.  Poor little Cooper had a really rough night as he is not feeling well at all.  :*(  But his daddy took the best care of him.  Brandon was exhausted this morning.  Cooper spent some time with me so daddy could get some rest.  He was a perfect little angel, and we had a good time.

Then early this evening....grandma needed a nap.  LOL :)

Coopy has the gift of gab, that much is certain, and he is developing such a clear vocabulary.  I love to hear him speak.

Brandon is cooking dinner for us tonight, and I am sure it will be absolutely delish.

Hope your day has been awesome!

My photos of the day...

Who is the most beautiful baby boy in the world?  Cooper!  <3

I will update with photos of Brandon's delicious cuisine later this evening.

***Update!***

Dinner was delicious.  Brandon made his famous chicken wraps.  The chicken was seasoned to perfection, and added to a flour tortilla with fresh produce, lettuce, cilantro, tomato, avocado and of course jalapeño, then topped with ranch dressing and a dab of sour cream.  Yummy!

Brandon made a HUGE skillet of chicken thinking we would have left overs.  He underestimated the appetites of his three brothers Garrett, Casey and Blake, his father, Kori and I.  When all was said and done I think there was enough for the chef to have one wrap.  LOL :)

It was also awesome enjoying a dinner with all my boys under one roof.  Thank you Brandon!


After dinner, Cooper settled into my lap to watch A Monster in Paris, and he has fallen fast asleep in my arms.  Brandon offered to move him to bed, but I said no thank you.  I love being a grandma.  <3

I love this little puppers.  I adopted Raymond for Brandon in the summer of 2009, and he has been the perfect canine companion for little Cooper.  He is the cutest little Miniature Schnauzer.

Music I am listening to today...The beautiful sounds of precious little Cooper.  Who needs music?  Not me!

Random Link of the Day...Apple Cinnamon Peanut Butter

The Daily V...We all really must work harder to decrease world suck, and DFTBA.  Don't forget to be awesome.

Peace.

October?  Is it really you?  Oh how I love you so!  The beautiful colors you bring in the fall leaves and amber skies.  Pumpkins, Japanese Lanterns, nutmeg, Cinnamon, chilly nights, soft sweaters and the smell of wood burning in the fireplace.

Sure it gets dark a little earlier than usual with shorter days...but I love you October.  :)

We had a good Monday.  Casey had an orthodontist appointment, and had spacers put in to prepare for his palate stretcher apparatus.  It went well.

Blake rode his scooter through the neighborhood gathering colorful leaves, branches and mushrooms to create a lovely Autumn arrangement on the front porch to kick off October.  Thank you Blake, it is gorgeous.  Then we enjoyed a lovely 6 mile bike ride just before sunset.

Brandon and Cooper are in town, so they are spending the night with us.  Yay!!  :)

Hope your Monday was awesome!

My photos of the day...

Blake's awesome Autumn creation.







The "planking" champion of the world.



I spy a snake!



It was beautiful evening.
Total ride...6.06 miles.

Good-Bye September!

Good-Bye September.

This has been an amazing month!  We had so many fun adventures, and made wonderful new memories.  So far, this has been my favorite month this year.  Thank you September!


And thank you Shape-Up September, and ShayCarl Butler for inspiring us to join you on a fun journey of self-improvement this month.


Total Sit-Ups for me all in one sitting, 125!  Take that Rheumatoid Arthritis!

Total Miles on Bike, just under 165 miles.  Which is awesome considering we could not ride for almost 8 days due to bad air quality.

We also did some walking, swimming and hiking and lots of eating healthy and above all, being kind to ourselves and to each other.

We learned what an amazing family we are, and how blessed we are to have each other.  <3

The verdict?  Shape-up September was a rip-roaring success, and it does not stop because September ends.  We love our new active healthy lifestyle, and we shall continue it forever.

Head is happy, heart is happy and body is happy.  ***ohmmmmm***



Welcome October.  :)


Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Love,
