Goodbye Summer

Summer is gone but for the first time ever I'm not sad to see it go.   A lot of it has to do with how busy we were during our summer and it being so damn hot! I know that living in Nevada for what seems like forever I should be use to it by now but I'm not.  Nevada summers are hot and we made sure that we were out most of the time . Haidyn and Frankie had the best time traveling on short notice. They're traveling bugs! We spent a lot of time being surrounded by water whether it was the lake, water park , or the pool at Hootsee and Papa's.  

I don't think I've spent so much time outdoors than I have this summer and I have the tan lines to prove it. We made it to San Francisco, Palo Alto, Sacramento , Mountain View and Milpitas this summer along with making it to our usual summer mini getaways to Hootsee and Papa's. That's a lot of traveling for a summer that wasn't planned.  Isn't that funny how busy you are even if you don't plan anything? The blog has been lacking a lot of love lately but I'm trying to live in the moment more than documenting them. I've missed so much with working too much and making sure everything is "blog friendly" . I've been enjoying the time without taking the pictures and instagramming everything and it's been so nice to actually enjoy this time with the family. Don't worry I'm sure the blog will get more love during the holidays.

Nevada days are getting a little chilly ( emphasis on a little) but we're so ready for Fall and Winter ! Our house has been decorated as if it were Fall since September 1st. Can you blame us? Give me all the pumpkins.. 

Happy 1st Birthday Francis!

Happiest birthday to our little boy and baby of the family Frankie ! I can’t believe that my boy is a year old now, it seems like just yesterday he rescued us. It’s not a secret that Frankie is Waymon’s replacement in my life and he knows. Frankie is our rambunctious saint of a dog that everyone loves when they meet him. I’m not sure if Frankie has a mean bone in his body even when he does try to be mean. He’s a lover but he’s also a fighter. He’s the one who is now putting Sassafras and Haidyn in their place. (ABOUT TIME) Frankie has brought so much love and happiness back into our lives in the time in which we as a family needed it. I’m forever grateful for that .  Spoiling him with more love than he gives all of us on the daily today!

Happy Birthday to our Francis ! 

( AKA Frankie, Frank, Frankenstein, Frankie Doodle, Frankie Pankie , Frank the Tank, Franklin, Frankie-lynn,  Frank and Beans  and Francois ). 

We love you!
