Apple Picking

We went apple picking on Saturday. It was so fun! We picked Cortlands and Molly Delicious. I'm planning on making some applesauce and apple butter this week. I even found a recipe for Pumpkin Apple Butter. I can't wait to make that! Here are some pictures from the fun filled day!

Two New Videos

Here are a couple of new videos.

Snakes!

I walked out to put mail in the mailbox this morning and saw two snakes on our front porch!! I almost stepped on one of them....it scared the you know what out of me. I wish someone had had a video camera rolling, it would have been hilarious! I ran in and got my camera and got these two pictures.

Overdue Photos Off Our Camera

Packers Training Camp that we visited. It's amazing how many people turn out for the event. The bleachers were packed as well as the fence.

A short video of practice.

Joel and I went to the park. It was his first time in a big boy swing.

Ahhhh, thanks Fifi for my A's jersey! Thankfully the colors here are green and gold and I can wear it proud!!!!

And finally, I just recorded this yesterday. A few funny things....First, Joel crawled backwards under the dog bed. Second, when he's reaching for Tia and I tell him to stop, he's going for her shock collar and the "test" button (it's not the first time he's "tested" the collar to see if it works. And last, I think he's learning how to hold his toys from the dogs. Uh oh!

Lotsa Lotsa Pictures

Finally, we have some new pictures!!! Forgive me for not posting sooner....we were having some issues getting our pictures from the camera to the computer.

Below is a picture of us at Lambeau Field on Packer's Family Night. We actually got to go on the field. So fun!

The actual field.

Our feet on the field. It's a mixture of real and artificial turf that's actually sewn together.

Joel at 7 months.

Packers Pre-Season game against the Bills. Packers won!

Before the game started. I can't imagine this at 20 below!

Cranes down the street from our house.

The other day we went to Bay Beach Wildlife Preserve. Here's Joel with some wild Canada Goose.

Wild turkeys in our backyard.

Joel at 8 months.

I just thought this picture was funny.

Hopefully next time it won't be so long between postings.

One more video...

Joel and his best friend, Tia. Nothing quite like a boy and his dog.

Joel and his BFF, Isaiah, at Curly's Pub at Lambeau Field. Isaiah just turned one year old last week. Happy Birthday Isaiah!! Below is a funny video of Joel while we were out to dinner with our friend, Jeanette, at our new favorite hang, Fratello's. Jeanette tied her napkin on Joel's head.
