My Peacefully Chaotic Life

Well, I promised to share some fall pictures as well so I thought I would show you some pictures I took when we took a recent trip to the river. Well, trip probably isn't the right word because this is only a few minutes from my door but here goes. :) The water was low but still it was beautiful because you could see all the river rocks. We hiked along the riverbank... ....and found a few blooms hanging on. Little LadyBug spotted the sunlight hitting the tree above us just right to catch this shot. The children observed everything closely.... They even managed to learn something new! Yes, that is indeed a porta potty. They had never seen one (well, that they remembered anyway!) and wanted to peek inside LOL. Chalk it up to life experience LOL It was a beautiful day spent together. What treasures are you passing by that would be a fun time for your family?

Summer has slipped away and here we are right in the middle of fall, my favorite time of year! Over the summer we had birthday parties, gardening, the GuitarMan had a big concert with his band, and there were countless evenings spent outside while the children chased fireflies. Well, here, let me just show you! What is summer without grilling out? Our gas grill is great if there is a crowd or we're in a hurry but the taste can't be beat on this old grill!          The sunsets looking out from our back porch were breathtaking! That's the roof of our church you see. FlowerChild and The GuitarMan had birthdays in June. She wanted a Flying Backwards birthday party. What is this, you ask? That is the name of GuitarMan's band. Their symbol is the hummingbird. We bought a plain ice cream cake and her big brother drew their symbol on it. The things a brother will do for his baby sister!! Lots of time was spen...
