Apple Orchard Time

We went to the apple orchard on Sunday!! We had so much fun and Colton got to spend some quality time with his cousins! Colton even experienced his first pony ride. He wasn't to excited about the the idea at first but after a little bit he was riding like a true cowboy! We off course picked apples and had some apple donuts and apple brats! The weather was perfect - almost too warm which seems wierd to say at the end of September. We had a lot of fun - family days are always a good time. And the Vikings won on Sunday which was the icing on the cake for me!

Busy as always!!

We have been very busy like always they last couple weekends!! Last weekend Frankie, Colton and I went to La Crosse, WI for 3 days just for a little family get away! We spent most of the time just relaxing in the hotel. But we did go for some walks along the river, we went up to Granddad Bluff to get an amazing view of the city, we had dinner with some friends and of course did lots of swimming in the pool!

This kid can always make me smile. Colton and Daddy playing on the canon at Canal Park!
Colton was so worn out after swimming - he fell asleep in about 2 minutes!

When we got home on Monday we put together Colton's New Sandbox and filled it with sand! This was his birthday present from Grandma Yvonne - it just took us this long to get it for him (we were very slow to decide what kind we wanted - finally grandma just picked one and it is perfect). He loves playing in his Sandbox!!

Colton and Daddy getting dirty - that is until Colton needed to take a break for a Freezie!!This last week at work has been pretty eventful! I got promoted to Senior Service Specialist on Wednesday! I am so excited about this, hard work has paid off! And then on Friday I found out that I won a Rising Star Award for the month of August!! I was nominated by the consultant on my team for my focus and dedication to the team! Needless to say my week has been pretty good! And the last two nights we have had friends and family over for BBQ's, Bonfires and board games - Loaded Questions is the best game ever made! The only bad thing I have to report is about the Vikings! I am not sure what it is going to take for them to win but I am not sure how many more games I can watch that end is disappointment! But we still had fun eating chicken wings and french fries - you have to love game day!!
