KNOCK OUT

After coming home from our scrumptious brunch, mom and dad watched their beloved Seahawks lose to San Francisco 49er's doggone it. The weather is gorgeous still so mom decided to take Mimi to the park. We picked up Halley and Blake along the way. A short while back mom was just a smidgen worried about how rough Blake will play with Mimi. There were a couple of times when he would get mad at Mimi and hit her. Mom talked it over with her friend Sandra and Sandra told her not to worry and that Mimi is a scrappy little girl. Well, this afternoon it happened at the park. Blake hit Mimi with a small kid size basketball and Mimi clocked him good! When mom relayed this story to dad his response was "did she win???" He was just joking. Blake came running over to mom and said "Mimi hit me in the face with the ball Dottie!" Mom then explained that he too had hit Mimi in the stomach and made her cry but most of all we do not hit anyone for that matter. Blake said that he was told by his mom that whenever HE hits someone, they can't hit him back. Now where's the logic in that may I ask? When I mentioned this to Keri she said that she had told him that he should NEVER hit anyone especially girls. None the less as quickly as this incident happened, it was over. Blake and Mimi are BFF's again. They kissed and made up.

SUMMER'S OVER


Although technically the fall season starts on the 22nd of September, up here in the northwest the colors are already starting to change. This pic was taken just outside Snoqualamie Falls Lodge.

GOT MILK?.......


Or in Mimi's case hot chocolate?????

MORE FAMILY DAY PICS




Pictured here is what we had. Hueveos Rancheros for mom, Pancakes, Fruit and Eggs for Mimi, Steak and eggs for dad. Mimi ate all but the fruit so we brought it home. Princess Teri isn't the only one who takes pictures of food. We do too.


FAMILY DAY



Although our family day is everyday especially on Sunday, this year our "Family Day" falls on Mimi's cousin Joe's wedding day (September 27)and we will be in Virginia helping him and his fiance celebrate this auspicious day. Mom had this great idea to celebrate early this year and we headed up to Snoqualamie Falls for a deeeelicious brunch.
