Dining Out

Jason and Yates. What a handsome team!
Me and some of the girls all dressed up!




Friday, September 26th, Jason's squadron had their Dining Out. This is a formal Navy tradition. Basically, it is a formal dinner with a lot of "fun". It is a great way for the guys to let loose! We had a great time with some great friends!

Apple Picking Time!

This was my first home-made apple pie of the season....it didn't last long. It smelled and tasted just as yummy as it looks!
Nicholas will make his Pop-pop proud sitting on that tractor!

Where's the Great Pumpkin, Katie??


Nicholas had fun kicking the apples on the ground!



Mmmmm, what a yummy Golden Delicious Apple, Katie!





It's our favorite season again! APPLE PICKING SEASON!! We LOVE the Fall up here in Maine! The leaves are starting to turn a pretty red, orange and golden color and the air is becoming brisk!! AWWW, there's nothing like it! Me and the kids took Jason to our favorite Apple Orchard...he wasn't here last year due to him being on deployment. We picked lots of apples, went on a wagon ride, explored the barn and had a snack of pumpkin doughnuts and apple cider. What a day!




Our Little Girl is 4 years old!








September 21st was Katie's birthday! She is becoming such a little lady! We had a great time at Build-a-Bear Workshop.
My Dearest Katie-
"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,May you never take one single breath for granted,GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.I hope you dance....I hope you dance."
We love you!
Mommy and Daddy
