A Perfect Fall Weekend


This weekend was so gorgeous! Jasper actually wore shorts to the park on Saturday. Colin, Jasper and I walked down to the park while Josh mowed the yard. Jasper loved playing with Uncle Colin. It was funny to see Colin on the little playground equipment!

Later in the afternoon, we went to the Prather's annual hayride. We saw cousins and friends we hadn't seen in a long time including Barry (Anglemyer) who's back from Arizona for a few weeks. We also got to see Great Grandmas June and Lena and Great Grandpa Pete and Grandma Debbie. It was great to see Grandma Lena feeling better. (She's been having a lot of trouble with her back and hip.) Jasper and his cousin Becca sat together on the porch swing. Becca even shared her crackers with Jasper. Jasper went on the hayride. We think he liked it...he sat down on the floor of the wagon between the hay bales and didn't make a peep. He was watching the lights of the tractor. Occasionally, I'd ask him if he wanted to sit on my lap and he'd shake his head no, but when I asked if he was having fun, he'd shake his head yes. Eventually he fell asleep. We were disappointed not to have spent more time with the littlest cousins, Ada Wagner and Nathan Combs. They were worn out and had to leave before we got back from the hayride.

Today, we decided to stay home from church. Josh wasn't feeling the greatest and we were all tired from being out late last night. I got to stay in bed until after 8:30 (that's VERY late for us!) We played up stairs, went outside, had lunch, watched football, took a nap, and watched some more football! Jasper took a tumble down part of the stairs today. He's fine, just a small bump on the head. It scared Mommy and Daddy though!

Jasper's discovered a new TV show he likes, Handy Manny. It's about this boy who fixes things with talking tools. He'll say "Anny Manny" when he wants to watch it. He watched it this afternoon, and then this evening, he had his toy tools out "fixing" things.
