My Lil Pumpkins

It is a family tradition to carve pumpkins. Daniel and Breana have always loved to carve their design and eat the roasted seeds. This year Brandon enjoyed getting out the pumpkin "guts" and feeling the squishy stuff in his fingers. He too loved the roasted pumpkin seeds. Daniel still gets Breana to clean out his pumpkin because he doesn't like the gross feeling. looks like Brandon doesn't care about the slimy stuff!

Terrible doggie day

Denny was away working in Mississippi and the kids were playing around the house. Brandon went outside while I was cooking dinner. Breana apparently left the sliding glass door open earlier. I heard a loud ( I am hurt) cry from Brandon. I went outside and saw blood. I asked what happened as I brought him inside. He said that "DODGER was rude at Brandon. Dodger put his teeth on me like this." I asked if he bit him and he told me that he didn't, he just "tried to eat my face". I realized that the blood was coming from his lip and the rest had just been spread by his rubbing. I made the difficult decision to send the dog away. Denny and I talked at length about this decision because we loved the dog that had been a part of the family for nine years, but ultimately decided he could not live here and be so unpredictable. This was not the only time he had been unpredictable, but in times past we made excuses. We know it was the right decision and luckily Brandon was not injured worse than he was. We miss Dodger!

Bardos Family Reunion

We are so lucky to have such a big and wonderful family. We all got together (minus 2) for a family reunion over fourth of July. Denny's dad was very happy to have everyone there. There are 29 grand-kids and it was announced that # 30 is in the oven and the first GREAT-grandchild is also in the oven! Hmmm, the Bardos grandkids usually come in threes......

Grandmom's Birthday Party

Brandon is very lucky to be so loved by his great-grandmother! He didn't want to sit still for too long though.

Batesville Arkansas Trip

We went back to Batesville to visit our friends. I was able to see almost everyone in Mom's Club and made it for Mom's Night Out! Daniel and Breana hung out with many of their friends. We had a fun visit. Brandon enjoyed playing on the Presbyterian preschool playground and had many people to follow him and cater to his every need. He loves his Hannah!!

Farm Boy

Jitte took Brandon to drive the tractors, combine, and four wheeler! He was like a kid in a candy shop! Oh, he had so much fun and didn't want to leave.

Family Time

We had fun visiting with everyone at mom's. So glad to be living closer and can see them anytime we want!
