We had fall pictures done, finally. Haven't had pictures done of Rachel and Karen in over a year. Autumn would not sit and when we called it quits and were picking out pictures the photographer was nice enough to go back and try again. We still didn't get much more with the background and clothes I wanted. But we did get a couple of cute ones.
Autumn and I did some gardening. We planted some broccoli because we have had good luck in the past with that. We will give cabbage and cilantro a try. Never planted in this spot of the yard yet so hope they grow. The broccoli is starting to sprout already we planted on Friday. We put in a flower so Autumn could see something growing now.
Karen is a Freshman and Rachel is a Senior. They both go to University High at Tolleson Highschool. Since Rachel has graduated 8th grade the middle school had changed school boundaries and now feeds out to another high school. So Rachel can take the bus, but Karen can't because they no longer have the funding to provide transportation for out of bound kids. We don't want Karen going to her boundary school so we have to drive her.
We make a stop at the water park after dropping the girls off at school. Autumn usually is the only kid there that early.
Autum was playing outside and I had on the sprinkler and she started to get wet then grabbed my hand and led me inside the house to the bathroom. She wanted shampoo to take a showa (shower) outside.
We stopped on the way home to have a picnic at the hatchery. It rain pretty hard while at the hatchery, but stopped once we sat and ate.
We went with Jon, David and D'Ree. David was trying to catch some air.
Autumn loves the trees!
Autumn got a dirty face after rolling down the hill, I had to dive ahead of her to stop her from rolling and slid down the bank in the process, but did manage to stop her before we got anywhere near the rushing creek. Gave Jack a good laugh.
The pouring rain!
Daddy helped keep Autumn dry.
We went to Snowflake for the celebrations, can't remember the last time we went. We saw most of the parade and went to the Art Show.
Sitting in Grandma Marili's grass, toes tied.
Feeding Uncle Bills horses, Autumn wasn't scared to shove them some hay.
Making a turtle with Jape(Jake) at the park.
Laying in the grass at the Art Show just before the rain shower.
For Rachel's birthday we went out to eat at Red Lobster and walked the Mall. Autumn got a Elmo balloon(has ears?) Then we ate cheese cake. Rachel got a new dresser and bedspread to finish the decor in her room. She finally got all her key chain collection on display.
