Pumpkin Fun!

It's hard to believe another year of pumpkin picking and Halloween decorating has come again.  It seems like just a while ago we had decorated our first pumpkins and gone to the pumpkin patch...  Jacob is still as cute as ever, although getting him to sit still long enough to take a decent picture is getting harder and harder, so moving targets and pictures of Jacob in motion are going to have to suffice this year.  We did manage to take a few while he was sitting, but they were quick and to the point!  Ha! 

Here's Jacob sitting in the wagon with our first pumpkin choice.  So cute!

It looks like he's praying over his pumpkin in this picture, maybe so!

The BIG BOY is pulling the wagon with our choice pumpkins.

Smiling Jacob...but about to get up and move...

Our two pumpkins.  We got a big family one, and one for Jacob to paint.

Here's Jacob painting the eyes on his pumpkin.  Jackson is supervising.

We put his handprints on the back side of the pumpkin.

Jeff pulled out the guts of the big pumpkin so I could carve it.  Jacob said he wanted circle eyes, a triangle nose and a smile with teeth.  Again...Jackson supervised!

Here's Jacob's pumpkin that he colored and decorated.

Here's the family pumpkin!  Jacob liked that it said, "BOO" on the side.

Our precious "moving" boy and our family pumpkins!

Cardboard Boxes are FUN!

Who knew a cardboard box could be so much fun?!?!

Jacob is showing me the letter M. 

Of course, Jackson is right where he always likes to be.

Jacob looking for Jackson...

Jacob decided that the box was his "house" and when he lifted the flap in the back he told me it was his Garage Door.  He proceeded to show me how it went "up, up, up, and down, down, down." 

Adding some finishing touches on the sides...

Proof that he's the artist!

Proud of his work!

After he finished, he HAD to bring his pillow and Deon to hang out with him!

Where's Jacob?  Inside his house of course!

 

So Fun!

Thanks for checking in with us today!  Have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday Chappy!

This past weekend we headed to Atlanta to celebrate Chappy's Birthday.  We drove up on Thursday night so we could have all day Friday with Chappy and Agga and the family.  We made some special memories and started some new traditions along the way.  We played T-Ball, flew airplanes, ate birthday lunches and dinners, and went to a farm on Saturday.  It seemed to go so quickly!  Here's the highlights in pictures...

Daddy and Jacob playing baseball in the backyard at Chappy and Agga's house.  Swing!

Jacob looks so determined here.  He started swinging up and down to hit the ball, so we tried to teach him to swing "Across the body."   I think it worked!

Swinging!!!  With Mommy and Jackson watching!

Baseball with Daddy and Chappy!

Jacob chose one of his two trees that popped up unexpectedly in the backyard...

The boys!  Precious!

Laughing.  What a smile!

Airplanes are always involved somewhere...  :)

Jacob is pointing at a remote control airplane that Uncle Biggie is flying around the backyard, and Jackson is watching it too.  I am the only one looking at the camera!  :)

Agga wanted to start a tradition that the grandchildren make a birthday lunch for Chappy...so here's a picture of Jacob making a cheese sandwich for Chappy. 

Saturday morning we went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then headed out to Cagle's Family Farm for some fall fun!

Jacob getting ready to "jump" on the bouncing pillows.

Steady, Steady...

Of course we had to ride the pony named Punkin. 

After the pony rides we walked over to the farm for the Agri-tour.  Jacob saw the tunnel and took off!

Learning about milking cows.

Neither Jacob or Daddy looks very interested in the milking process...  HA!

After the session on milking, we hopped onto the Hayride.  Here's mommy tickling Jacob.  So fun!

We forgot Jacob's sunglasses and he was having a hard time with the sun, so I gave him mine.  So stylish! 

When the hayride was finished we got out and fed the animals.  Here's Jacob feeding the pig!

Yes, I really did this.  Ha!

The family shot.  So hard to get one with everyone looking...

Jacob with Chappy and Agga.  Cute!

 Happy 20th Birthday Chappy!  We had a great time and look forward to many more birthdays to celebrate together!

It's true...

The Cards are in the World Series!!!!

For all the Cardinals Fans out there!!!!!

Go Cardinals!!!!!!!

Here's to hoping the Cardinals make it all the way to the World Series!!!!

Sing!

I was able to get these videos of Jacob singing a couple of his favorite songs.  I hope you enjoy!

My favorite part of this one is the "m-m-m-m-p".  We learned a version at our music class that says at the end, "Now I know my ABC's, and it's time to tickle me."  Sorry for my loud voice at the end, apparently I was very close to the microphone...and I'm just loud anyways!  Ha!

The first word is cut off, but you'll get the idea...

Thanks for checking in with us today!  Have a blessed day!
