Top 2 favorite things about fall
Autumn is my favorite season. I love the colors, the smells, the sights and so much more...
#1 Our yearly trip to the mountains to see the leaves change colors. It has become a tradition. We rent a cabin and enjoy a weekend at a very sweet mountain town.
#2 I love decorating the house. I love putting pumpkins everywhere. I love putting out new place mats. I love having cute centerpieces. I love hanging cute decorative leaves around the house. I love putting out candles that make the house smell delicious.

Good-Bye Long Weekend-Hello Random Rambles
We had big plans for the weekend, shopping, football, baseball bike rides and walks but unfortunately on:
Friday night our little monkey didn't sleep so soundly but handled it like a trooper. Every time he stirred I just knew something was wrong. I just waited to see if it was teething, a tummy bug or a cold. Around 7:30 Saturday I walked into his room, he was smiling ear to ear happy like normal. When I got closer I noticed one thing that wasn't normal, he had snot rolling out of his nose. Poor guy! Right then and there I knew our weekend plans would need to be modified. We enjoyed some snuggle time, breakfast and a quick shower. I needed to make a quick trip to Colorado and we decided to keep with the plan. We were hoping to make it to the first football game of the season but with a sick boy we decided to cross that one off.
Sunday was a day at home, cuddling, napping and attempting to get food and liquids in the monkey. He is so stuffed up it wasn't easy. We did get out for some fresh air.
Today was another day at home resting. It was windy and cold outside so we thought it best to stay cozy at home. We had to cross the baseball game off the list.
Nathan has been sleeping through the night with an occasional wake up but puts himself back down within 5 minutes. He really is a good sick baby. It's just hard on my heart. I hate sucking boogers. He is so stuffy but he needs it, he hates it but he needs it. He can't drink well because he is stuffy and it breaks my heart because you know he wants it. He is a little more sensitive which is hard to handle at times. The poor little guy handles it well but I could probably handle better at times. It really takes a lot out of a parent when your child is sick. I know I am complaining and I know I am lucky that it is a simple cold but sometimes I just need to get it all out.
I know that I am truly blessed and I am thankful for my sweet little family.
Tomorrow is the monkeys 15 month doctors appointment. I am very curious to know how much he weighs and how much he had grown. Exciting stuff! I love watching him grow. He amazes me each and everyday with how much he is growing and learning. I am one lucky momma!

Fill in the Blank Friday
1. If I didn't have to work anymore I would I am currently not working and getting to do what I want to do, stay home and raise my amazing little boy! If my husband didn't have to work we would travel.

3. When packing for a trip I organize our suitcases, pack more things then we will ever use and I always like to pack my own pillow with my blanket.
4. If I could go on a road trip with anyone (dead OR alive) I would choose my friend Steph D. we don't live that close to each other anymore so it would be great to spend more time with her. We are such dorks together and I love that I am able to be myself with her. I miss you Steph!
5. My top 3 absolute travel essentials are medicine allergy, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and many other kinds of medicine, just in case. I also need my blow dryer, hotel blow dryers take forever to blow dry my hair so I always bring my own.
6. Vacations are are a must!
7. On vacation you must always enjoy room service, pick at least one souvenir.
