Arwyn Week 17: 4th Annual BaconFest! - 10/15/2015

Arwyn has pretty consistently started sleeping a good 6-8 hour stretch these days, hooray!  It often starts as early as 5:00pm however, so there is still a night wake-up between 1-3am, and then she's up between 6 and 6:30.  Not too bad for such a little one, I'll take it!  We celebrated BaconFest this weekend, and something in the most delicious pulled pork that I have ever tasted (made by Josh) does not agree with Arwyn because she has started having green poop for the first time ever.  Detective Katharine is on the case...  Other than that, she's still happy, smiley, and loves hanging out in people's laps.

Leia is getting pretty consistent with her colors now.  I would say she's accurate about 90% of the time, and when she's not right, sometimes I actually think she's messing with my to be funny.  She also asked me to buy broccoli from the store for her, and when I brought it home and roasted it with oil and salt, she loved it!  Yay, another food victory!  Her characteristic pronunciation of a few words recently has left us with the giggles.  She loves to say, "I do it my saay-elf!" and "Sank you!"  It's very cute.

Push up training for the whole family!

Meeting of the minds!

When I told Leia these boots were too small for her now, she concluded that they must fit Arwyn!

This girl sure does love to hug me!


First time fishing in Squaw Creek!

The leaves were really biting today!


4th Annual BaconFest means that Josh is busy with the smoker all day!

A look at the goods...bacon fat basted smoked chickens, pork shoulder, and the best pulled pork ever tasted!  Also on the menu: bacon mousse, bacon jam, bacon wrapped dates, and bacon-spinach salad.

The grill master and his right hand man executing the carving.

Leia had a bunch of friends over at "her house."

Arwyn loves snuggling with her Honorary Aunt Biby!

The kids just liked the party, they didn't understand about the bacon...maybe next year.

Pumpkin maple bacon ice cream cake...definitely a hit!

A good crew and a good turnout for another successful BaconFest!


Get back here Emmett, don't you even think about getting out of this tub!

Leia was so excited to have Avery come over to play!

Arwyn and Megan, digesting another successful baconfest and surveying the chaos below!

The non-bacon eaters got hungry!

Sorry, I just love these shots.

And after 4 months of getting loved on by Leia (aka, slightly abused), Arwyn finally finds herself on top of the dog pile, and is able grab back a bit!

Leia's new favorite thing is collecting fall colored leaves...she literally fights the older kids at school to steal the prettiest ones from them!

Everyone was so excited for pumpkin carving until we got started...Arwyn was too tired, Leia had the bugs and bee's attacking her eyes, and Josh was stressed from all the screaming.  

Our pumpkins turned out pretty good anyway...a menacing face and "No Noggin and the Spooky Old Tree" from Curious George's Boo Fest Movie.

Still look good all lit up.


Stop taking pictures and help me Mom, I don't need any hiemlich here!
