Rebel Without a Complaint

 

Dressed and ready to party!



...20 minutes later



We just got back from Silver Creek, NY where we had the joy of celebrating Andy's parents 50th wedding anniversary! We had a ball! It made me realize how few of those celebrations my generation will have. Many people our age are on their 2nd and third marriages. It's kind of sad to think about how disposable marriage has become....wow I'm a real bummer, huh? Anyway, it was so good to see the family and enjoy the festivities together.

 Fall has come and it almost feels like it's about over! How the heck did that happen? The fall foliage has been ripped down and put in the clearance section in all the stores and replaced with Christmas lights, ornaments and synthetic trees...It seems a bit melancholy but oh well, bring on Christmas then!

We were able to do a few fun fall things even though we miss our traditional apple picking and pumpkin patch with the old Idaho gang.



There is nothing like a pile 'o punkins'!



Quinn dug deep to find the one he wanted



We have no complaints about life! Having a two year old is allot of fun. Especially now that he is learning a language that seems somewhat similar to English. Every day he comes up with something I had no idea he even knew!

 Here are a couple of my recent favorites:

When looking out the plane window and noticing how tiny the cars were below: 

"Lookie, we tall tall mountain! Hold On Tight"

When we got off the plane in Denver after leaving NY:

"Oh No! Quinn lost grandma!"

When pretending to be daddy while playing:

 "Quinn go work. Quinn got bible and more stuff. See ya! Back later!"

When I tried to interrupt him to change his stinky diaper:

Back up mommy!  Quinn reading book. Come On!"

When frustrated by a sneeze attack:

"Achoo!... Come On!!!... Achoo!... Come On!!!... Achoo! ...Come On!!!

Quinn was James Dean for Halloween. Not to be confused with the recently departed king of sausage, Jimmy Dean. Although Quinn does enjoy a few crisp slices of bacon on occasion.

 

"Back Up! Get near my candy and I will cut you with my switchblade glow stick. Come On!"
