Ol' Pickup Truck

Seriously, did the end of summer have to arrive so soon? Is it really Labor Day weekend already? Didn't the buds just pop out on the trees last week?

Alas, it is true... September is here... and with the holiday weekend upon us, the Rawlings family has been hustling and bustling with various fun-filled activities.

Friday, Lindsey and I went shopping and to the Olive Garden. Then Tearsa & Bailey came over and we all went out for dinner.

Saturday, Jon and I took the boys to Knoebles. In the evening Stef & I met up with the Meiser's & Lori at the races... very fun!

Today I had a very special lunch date... with the two most handsome little gentleman... my sweethearts... at Bob Evans. Then we headed over to the mall, and got back just in time for Nan and Peeps to visit for dinner.

Tomorrow is our Labor Day BBQ with the Williams Family!!! We are stoked! You can be sure there will be tons of pics from that posted tomorrow :)


Why is Shawn smiling over a bucket of Clipos? Because he went poopy on the potty all by himself!!!!!! Shawn, Mommy is so proud of you... BIG HUGS!

Lunch Date...

Silly.

Ok, I know it was a bad idea to go to the mall... and an even worse idea to go into gymboree...
But seriously, who wouldn't get these!?!?! Hedgehogs people. HEDGEHOGS!
(And with Landon's hair... Uhhh!)

Landon's outfit. These were too cute not to post. Their fall wardrobe is going to soon be spilling out of the closets! :-S

Shawn's scary shirt!

Landon to us. Peeps calls him Squidly.

Great Grandson.

They aren't related or anything ;)

Awesome pics My love!! I am so grateful for the work you put into the blog. I get to see what my family does when I'm at work. It makes the tough days worth it. My boys are growing up so fast and they have so many people that love them. When my boys grow up they'll be able to look back in a way Ashley and I never could and see the adventures they had! Thanks again Ashley!!!

Love A+F
Jon

i love the moon pictures. I feel like we are missing so much. Landon is walking. The boys are getting so big. Boy do i wish we all lived closer to each other. I am now going really nuts. I have to find a way for us to get down there.
