Happy Autumn!!

Happy Autumn everyone!! This is my favorite time of year and we are having a great "Fall" day here!! The air is crisp and a bit rainy!! To welcome the season I am making a pot of chili and bread bowls for dinner!! Mmmm!! I can't think of a better way to celebrate the official beginning of Fall!! We hope that everyone is enjoying their Fall as much as we are!!

Just for Fun!

Here are a few pics of the kids....just for fun!!

Vietnam Memorial

September 8-12 the traveling Vietnam Wall Memorial was in Gillette. My mom went with me and the kids on Sunday so we could see it. I am so glad we made it!! It sure helps to put things into prospective and certainly makes you thankful for all those serving our country...past, present and future!! I did get a few pictures so I will let you all see some of them. Other than that I don't have much to say in this post...it was an emotional experience that leaves one rather speechless.

If you click the photo I believe it will enlarge for you!

Our very first blog!!

So here it goes! We have been hearing a lot lately about Blogspots. Since I am fairly new to the Facebook world, it has taken me some time to decide whether or not we wanted to venture into the world of Blogging or not. Well, we have taken the plunge!! We will see  how it goes and decide later if we want to continue or if it is simply unnecessary. We will see!!

So, in further news.....
Hunting is in full swing for Andy. Opening day for him was September 1. He went up to the Black Hills last weekend and didn't have much luck. He will be going again on his 7 off and we are wishing him lots of hunter's luck!! Garrett keeps telling him to "get the big one, Daddy!!" Too cute!!

Garrett is coming along very well in his potty training expedition!! He pretty much has no accidents during the day. We still use diapers during nap time and bed time. He is usally dry after his nap and it is hit or miss after bed time. We are so proud of him and how well he is doing!! And he is also quite the helper for me around the house. He loves to help and he is the best big brother to Emily!! They are becoming quite the pair together!!

Emily is growing and learning every day!! She can crawl, pull herself up into the standing position and she even "cruises"!! It won't be long before she is walking all on her own. It is so exciting to see her grow and develop every day!! She is such a sweetheart!!

And for me. I am trying to keep up with everything that is going on around here!! It sure is crazy sometimes, but it is the BEST!! I love staying home and taking care of the kids, Andy, the pets, and doing every day things!! Life doesn't get any better than this!!!

We have also added a new member to our family. A few weeks ago we traveled to Lander to pick up our new Pug puppy!! He is adorable and fits right into our little family!! He is getting along great here at home and Sugar seems to have 'adopted' him as her own!! One of their favorites things to do is play tug-o-war!! It sure is funny to watch!

                                    

That is all that I have to post for now. Hopefully I'll be back soon to update everyone on more of the going-on's in the Plaggemeyer household!! Enjoy!!
