Cross country meet/football/hiking......We are loving fall already!

Fall is by far my favorite time of year!  I love the cool mornings, warm afternoons, and the changing leaves.....not to mention the world's best caramel apples!  Apples were my pregnancy craving.  I ate apples by the bags, including many caramel apples.  No wonder Owen's favorite food is apple sauce ;-)

We bought a Kelty backpack carrier since we do a lot of hiking.....thank goodness Owen loves it!   Owen really has made everything we do so much more fun!  Plus the doggies love going on more hikes!  I have even managed to take Owen, Lucy, and Nellie (who has to still be on a leash......which is a struggle for us to say the least!) on a hike all by myself.

Owen LOVES any kind of machine that makes noise and has a steering wheel.  Both grandpa's have lawn tractors.....Owen finds them very cool!

Owen attended his first Crazy Buffalo LaCrescent invitational cross country meet....He started the meet out crabby, but as soon as the running started he liked all the cheering and running around.

The 2 craziest Buffalos at the race ;-)

Checking everything out

It is my turn to wear the hat!

Here are a few pictures from my 29th (yikes!) birthday.....I better make this year count....next year is the biggy! 

We celebrated on Sunday....Packer's first game! 

We have agreed that Owen will get to choose which NFL team to cheer for.  And thanks to our good friend Zack Owen has both Packer and Viking gear!  Sunday he sure was a cute lil Packer fan though ;-)

Well thats all for now.  Owen continues to be a crazy crawling man and continues to not be too interested in real food.  He will eat some star crackers and a little applesauce with baby cereal, but that is about it.  Let's hope I don't have a picky eater on my hands!  We are looking forward to Owen's first Applefest this weekend!  Happy Applefest!!!!
