Labor Day

First of all, I have decided on a camera. I was dead set on the T3I, which is the most expensive, but NO ONE around here sells them and the last thing I want to do is WAIT, I have zero patience, as I am sure you are well aware of. So here is what is came down to, I could buy the T3I for $1000.00 from Best buy and just the camera, no extras at ALL or I found at Costco a whole package deal on the T2I for $849.00, it comes with an extra lens, extra battery, SD card and some other extra stuff. To me this was the better deal and really there aren't many differences between the T3I and T2I, so I will be getting the T2I and spending $150.00 less. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good deal, so thats the deal. I will have my brand new camera in hands tomorrow (when Costco is open, because they closed today). I probably won't sleep tonite....LOL

Next, I thought I for sure knew what I wanted to do for picture outfits, well that was until I sat down to figure out what the boys would wear and could match NOTHING to Lexi's outfit and I meant NOTHING. I have searched HIGH AND LOW....so I'm changing it, but I there will be gray in it somewhere, because there is tons of gray stuff, just tying it all together will be a challenge and well Lexi has a new outfit for Fall. Nothing wrong with that right? So here is what I have in mind. A guy sweater with this adorable cute skirt that has brick red in it from Old Navy for Lex. For Me, a gray sweater with a brick red shirt underneath it with jeans and boots. For the boys, a gray button up with brick red shirts under them and that does include Bob. Next year, I'm hiring someone to pick out my outfits.

So for now the whole reason for this post...Labor Day. We did nothing, which is okay with me. My Sister and I picked out material for Lexi's halloween costume, its her new hobby, so she says. Stay tuned for that, its a surpise.

This morning while the breeze was blowing and it wasn't scorching hot, we went for a walk at Jensen Park in Syracuse. We took food for the ducks and we had lots of fun. The ducks kept following us and the kids were cracking up.

Our weekend

Yesterday we went to the park to let the kids run around. I'm staring at this pictures and they make me sick, because the quality is HORRIBLE, but I guess atleast I have pictures right?

We had a very low key weekend, Bob spent ALL day Saturday fixing the truck once again. The boys went to the lake yesterday, hence Ashtons outfit at the park.

Later we sat out back with a fire. It was nice, not hot at all and I love it. Having a fire in the summer is torture. The kids ate an entire bag of marshmellows, talk about stomach ache, I had one for them.

Jax took Lex for a ride all around the yard on his scooter, it was funny and she was laughing so hard. She is also in her underwear, they are inside out and backwards.

Today, I think were gonna for a hike or walk or something. And TOMORROW, Bob and I celebrate 8 years of marriage...Yup, we sure do.

OH how I love September...

September ranks up highly with May, I love September. Its not scorching HOT, its just right. Its the month I got married and one of the many reasons I love September.

Just a picture I never posted and thought was cute, well Lexi, not me....LOL

Lexi is obsessed with popcicles or doracicles as she calls them. They are slow melt and I love them, because she isn't covered in them by the time she is done.

Boys, their pretty goofy. My boys come up with the most random things to do. Today it was trying to fit both of them on one bike.

This little girl is always left alone to figure stuff out, I feel bad for her, she is never invited to play with the boys. But she is pretty independent.

We have a pretty good list for Fall/Winter and here it is...
~This is in no particular order at ALL

*Celebrate our 8th Anniversary
*Lexi completely POTTY TRAINED, she is on day 6 of no diapers, but she does wear one to bed. Is it sad that I am not ready for her to be potty trained?
*Park City, Alpine Slide and SHOPPING!!!
*Snowbasin tram ride to the top of the mountain
*NEW CAR....I want to shout this REALLY loud, I'll save this for another post.
*Salsa making...YAY, my favorite
*More Jam, Peach and Raspberry
*Canned Peaches, one of my favorites growing up
*Halloween decorations, I want to decorate my yard, buy a little each year
*Family pictures, thanks to my dear friend Sunset and I will have a NEW camera.
*Pumpkin patch
*Pumpkin carving
*Costume shopping, we have a new halloween store right around the corner
*Haunted houses, Jax wants to go this year, I was younger than him when I first started going.
*Sledding in Park City
*Soup party (its tradition now)
*bake cookies
*Gingerbread houses, even though ours NEVER turns out.
*Neighbor treats
*Christmas decorations
*Pumpkin cheesecake

And I am sure there are many more, but these are all I can remember right now.

And here is a sneak peak at the cutest boots for Lex for our family pictures next weekend.

I'm in love...and I am getting my camera Tuesday....YAY!!!!

Happy, Happy!!!

I get to debate all weekend about which camera I want to get....

These are the top choices right now.

First, the T2I, its been out for awhile, its rated good and looks like an awesome camera, its within my price range and comes with an extra lens.

Then, there is the brand new Canon, that I am in LOVE with, its also ranked good, a little pricey, but what I really want.

This is the thing, I am scared that it will be taken away from me again. So I am not sure I want to spend $900.00 on something that someone else thinks they have the right to take away. SO I would probably carry it EVERYWHERE with me including work, no joke, I would buy a bigger purse.

What do you think I should do? Either way, I am getting a camera and I AM SO EXCITED.
