Random Thoughts

This post is going to jump all over the place, mainly because I just have somethings I think y'all should know.

1. Brody is AMAZING!!!

Today he kicked me out of the kitchen while he made breakfast, and dinner. He made these pancake breakfast sandwiches:

2. Our house is S-L-O-W-L-Y getting cleaned and organized from all the crazy things that happened this summer.

3. Our ultrasound is on TUESDAY!!! We are excited and will hopefully NOT be finding out girl or boy.

4. I am still terrified of complications. ANY and all complications. I have been hearing a lot about people having babies around 26 weeks and it freaks me out, a ton! Also, lately my biggest fear is that I am not actually pregnant and it is just some weird thing.

I cleaned my kitchen!

So maybe it isn't that big of a deal, but to me, today, it is.

I haven't had the motivation to do much of anything the last couple of months. I feel like I have a really dang good excuse. My mom died and I am pregnant, that has got to be one of the best excuses ever, right?

Well, I have been tired of the awful state our kitchen has been in for about a month, but I never wanted to take the couple of hours I knew it is going to take to actually clean the darn thing.

So we started slowly, running the dish washer twice a week.

Then I graduated to loading the dishwasher and then washing enough dishes to fill the dish drainer.

Finally, today I washed all the dishes including a crusty dried crockpot that I don't remember cooking in... And I swept and washed all the counters!

It is mostly clean. All that is left is the stove top, which I am going to do Friday morning.

So here is my pat on the back, for finally finding some motivation to do something!

It is Finally FALL!!

To celebrate that it is finally fall, we decided to go Apple picking! This is something we do every fall, I LOVE IT. This year, it wasn't what I had imagined it would be, but it was fun!

To start off you should know that we are surrounded by wild fires. See:

So it is REALLY smokey outside. We are also under an advisory to stay indoors as much as possible.

But Saturday was the first of Fall, and I wanted to go apple picking. Once we got to the Orchard, it was clear and nice. We took Brody's little brother Levi with us.

Me eating an apple, not a great picture, but when are eating pictures...

You can not suppose to climb the trees, so Brody and Levi do this is pick the apple up top!

Lentil Festival

The National Lentil Festival is my FAVORITE thing about Pullman. Seriously! The whole town gathers downtown on Friday night for free chili and some "swag". Then on Saturday, we gather again for a Parade, food, music, and tons of fun for the whole family.

This year my little sister came to visit for some much needed away time. I think the only way the trip would have been better for her was if our brother magically moved his growing family out of the house...

But anyway, she has the bulk of the pictures, and I am waiting for her to send them, which is why I am posting this now not two weeks ago... So more to come!
