Apple Hillin'

There is nothing more than I love than Apple Hill in the Fall. I can't begin to tell you how much I love this time of year. I'm a firm believer that everything good happens during the Fall. Also, how could you not love all the pumpkins? We headed to Apple Hill for our dating anniversary . Yes, we still celebrate our dating anniversary and it's every bit just as sweet as when we were dating. I've been with my guy fourteen years. He jokes that we've been together for 100 years. Thanks to him Haidyn tells everyone that her parents have been together for 100 years.

This trip to Apple Hill we took Tina with us just so she can experience us go pumpkin and apple crazy. We took the day all together to roam around and sample all the apple things. I am bias but I do love Apple Hill than I love pumpkin patches because there is much more than just pumpkins. Anything you want made out of apples is being made in Apple Hill. We've been to Apple Hill so many times that we know the orchards we love and we're more than loyal to them.

 

 

Haidyn's one objective was to ride the horses since we told her we were heading to Apple Hill. She wanted nothing other than to ride those ponies. The ponies always make her smile. She did mention that she is getting too big for the ponies but she will continue to ride them until they give up. ( Not a chance girl.) 

After our apple extravaganza we headed to Ikea and Seafood city. We couldn't find a better way to kick off our Fall! Can it be Fall 365  please? 

Leave us Malone

2019 is the year of concerts for us. It feels like we've gone from one show to another in just one year. I don't mind at all since we finally got to go see MF Post Malone. I've been obsessed with Post since my nephew showed me his music when he first came out years ago . I owe my love for Post to my nephew. I'm sure I would've never came across his music if it weren't for him. 

Post served as our first rap concert and Tina's first out of state concert since coming to live in Nevada.  We took full advantage of Post playing in Sacramento and turned our outing into a little day trip showing Tina a little of Sacramento.  We shopped, thrifted and ate all the best foods. It wouldn't be a Wells trip if we didn't do the latter. 

Post was INCREDIBLE and I felt so guilty not taking Haidyn on our trip, but I know there is a next time. I recorded all of her favorite songs for her to obsess over when we got home. She was so excited to see him and then shamed me that I didn't take her with us . :) Typical Haidyn. 

Frankie Doodle Turns 2

Folks we've made it to another birthday with my perfect little boy! I know , it's only a second birthday for him but that's huge for us since we lost Rory right before she turned two. I've been so anxious about his second birthday but now that it's here I'm so excited that this dude is two! 

Frankie hasn't changed much since his puppy days. He's still an ass most days but he's more conscience that he's being an ass- which is the biggest improvement. We're so thankful for this guy bringing so much love , happiness and white fur into our lives. We will never be able to be without a lint roller ever again but we wouldn't have it any other way. Happy birthday Frankie Doodle's we love you! We will always shower you with cookies and sushi. 

Haidyn got her hair did

We know that we waited a long time before cutting Haidyn's hair. Waymon wanted to wait until she was five to cut her hair. He told me he wanted to wait that long right after we had her and I thought that it was nuts to wait that long. I honestly thought that I would eventually convince him to change his mind after a year , but here we are five years later and I'm the one who hesitated to get it cut. 

Waymon picked the date and of course Hootsee set everything up with her awesome hair dresser Sony. 

Haidyn didn't know what to expect since she's never gotten her cut but she's seen her Hootsee in Sony's chair a couple times before so she knew she was in good hands. As we saw her hair fall to the ground we were so relieved! We went in thinking that an inch off the bottom would do the trick, but we left with cutting four inches off! That sounds like a ton, but if you've seen this girl's horse hair you would understand. Haidyn's hair was past her butt prior to us cutting it. Haidyn left Sony's chair like a new person. We walked in with our five year old and walked out with a teenager . 

 I was scared that Haidyn wouldn't have the curly ends that I envy most days. For an entire week after her haircut her hair was as straight as Waymon's and I panicked, but after that first week her beautiful curls came back.  Her hair is a little more manageable, but you gotta love her lion's mane.
