October: Natalie's Birthday DInner

One of my dearest friends turned the big 3-3 this past October and she knows how to celebrate! Every year we all go out to dinner for her birthday. She is so good about getting all her friends together for an evening of celebrations!! This year we went to a local pizzeria in Downtown Bryan that was delicious! Justin stayed home with Ascher. He was sad to miss it but I was glad to have a night out! 

Happy Belated Birthday Natalie!!

 Love & Miss you!!

Fall: Football

Back in September and October almost every weekend we were at Kyle Field/Spence park. We had A LOT of home games and we also knew we would be moving out of College Station and would never again have the convenience of tailgating on Saturday and driving 15 minutes back to the house to finish watching the game from the comfort of our home. We had a good time and this year Ascher was older and loved it. He wanted to run around Spence park everywhere, see the horses, play chase with Dad & cousins and would wear himself out with all the people and action. He would, without fail, fall asleep in stroller on the way to car every time. (Even with the spirit band and team walking in). It was a great football season and I am glad we lived in College Station while we did. It will never be the same. Here are a few pictures from through out the season.

Gig' Em Aggies!!!

October: Pumpkin Patch

It wasn't long into October before Natalie and I headed up to the pumpkin patch to take pictures of our sweet babies in the pumpkins just like we had the year before. We wanted to go early before all the pumpkins were picked over and the picture taking selection limited. Here was Ascher last year at the pumpkin patch...awww

This year was a little different- he was not as good at sitting still. here are the pictures from our fun time with our besties at the pumpkin patch!

18 months- 9-29-13

Wow. I am a terrible blogger. Thank goodness I write these monthly posts as the month is happening on my phone and all I have to do is transfer it over to blogger and add photos or Ascher would be in a world of trouble considering he just turned 21 months. Whoops! Anyways- I am going to try and get back in the swing of things now that we have moved in and are semi-settled. I just made list of blogs I need to write to catch up...22 blogs. Yelp. I could be sitting here awhile. We will see how much I can get done before Ascher wakes up. So now...back to September when my little baby turned a year and a half old.
