Fall is approaching!

I have been very excited about the weather getting cooler...however, I was not up for a week of no sun!! But alas, the sun has returned, for at least today, and the weather outside is not frightful! It is fantastic!

Last Saturday I took the boys to the Olathe Old Settlers Parade and Decovin had a BLAST! He LOVED LOVED LOVED the bands and gets really excited when he talks about them...he loves the drums and trumpets! Kept going on and on about them for a couple of days afterwards! He might be in the rhythm section in band one of these days! ha! Camden slept through most of it...lazy bones...hehe!

Today I took Decovin in to get his hair cut, he always sits like such a good boy while they buzz away. I like how this guy cut his hair this time (he was quite the perfectionist at wanting it to blend just so) but he charged $8! For a kid!! Guess if you like the result you just suck it up and deal right?! Wish I could cut their hair but I am not good at clippers at all!! Aunt Judy...want to teach me some tricks?! Maybe I could save some money for their college! LOL!

At any rate, he looks good! And just in time, we are getting a Plummer Family photo at the very beginning of October so it will have grown out just enough for the picture! :) And when I say family I don't mean just the 4 of us...this will include Bob's parents and siblings and all the grandkids and significant others, etc. So it will include Decovin, Camden & Abby...we haven't had a family portrait done since like 2001!! Crazy! Definitely time for an update!

In baby news, Camden is so close to crawling it isn't even funny! He gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth and he acts like he wants to move forward SOOO bad...it is actually quite humorous to watch. He is doing so well, he is much bigger than Decovin, I feel, and he is a solid chunk of baby! :-) He is so cute and snuggly (much more than D ever was/is!) and he is quite possibly going to have wavy/curly hair! YAY! One of them got their daddy's locks!

In other news, Bob and I are having a garage sale on the 27th of this month to get rid of some infant things and other items we no longer need/want/use...whatever money we make will go towards our 10 year anniversary trip next year! That's right...Bob and I will have been married for 10 years next December! Since we never got a honeymoon, we are going to try to do it up right for our 10 year! :-) We would like to go to Hawaii, but we are just going to see how much money we can save up over the next year and go from there. I'm excited no matter where we end up going.

Weight loss...it is going great and I am less than a pound away from losing 50 pounds! I just couldn't be more thrilled and darn it, I'm proud of myself. I have been working really hard since March to shed the pounds and I feel great! I am in a size I haven't been in since college!! I have some confidence back and love dressing up now. Bob is always saying to me: "Why are you so dressed up to go to the library/store/etc?" And I tell him...b/c I feel great about the way I look right now and plus I don't often get to go places, even if it is to just the store, it is getting out of the house! Staying at home all day with the boys I tend to wear t-shirts and sweatpants, etc...so whenever I can put on my jeans and a nice top...I GO FOR IT!! I say, why not?

That is it for this week...until the next time...
