Some Fall for Y' all!

We bought the boys each new mattresses. New mattress=fun with the old. And thankfully this didn't=a trip to the hospital.

These boys got crazy with this contraption. I eventually had to leave the site as I thought I was going to have a heart-attack. They make me so nervous.

Stanley Scarecrow finally got a face lift this year! I was so tired of that flopping pillowcase I had to help him out.

Took some of my daycare kiddos to the Steamshow. It was a gorgeous day and they all had a blast.

Steamshow train ride

Petting zoo

Driving tractors at the steamshow.

Lane's most favorite thing at this year's steamshow was "the messy guy" as he liked to call him. This potter was so entertaining for Lane -we stood there for like 20 minutes and again for a while the next day.

Halloween section at Walmart- what a frightful bunch

Grant's favorite!

Cute kids right?


As if we didn't have enough fun on friday at the Steamshow, we went back on Saturday for more. This is Lane loving Papa Ham's cane/seat.

Grant met a friend who showed him how to stamp leather. He got to choose a design...and of all the choices my sweet angel picked a cross. He got to help make his own cross key chain.

2014 Trip to the Great Pumpkin Patch- beautiful day...maybe a bit too warm (I think it was around 80 degrees)




My most favorite day of the year is PUMPKIN PATCH DAY! (Call me odd but I also love weiner roasts days, daylight savings day)

This kid is obsessed with stickers and tattoos. I bet I put on a thousand stickers this day.

Our pumpkin patch kept yielding more pumpkins than I thought. I love the look of bright orange pumpkins with the fall leaves on the ground. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Not a great picture but -loved the experience. Matthew West concert with Vicki and my Mom.

We watched my niece lil Miss Mallory. She was a hoot and the boys loved play time with her.

We had to make cupcakes. These two were ready to eat them -they couldn't wait.

Loved having a girl around. Braided hair and painted nails. FUN!


After years of waiting and wondering why he is one of the last people in his class to loose a tooth....it finally happened. He was so pumped! Jumping and screaming...he was so happy.

He wrote a note to the tooth fairy....I don't remember exactly how it went but it was something like this, "Dear Toothfairy, I am really confused right now because I don't know what to do. I would like to keep my first tooth but I also want money. Love, Grant"

We found this signature from September 1, 1923 written on our wall in the sun room we are in the process of remodeling. I love stuff like this and just had to take a picture.

What a mess we have created. I am so anxious to have this room done.

What the Tooth Fairy left Grant.

These two...one minute they are hugging and snuggling and the next they are pushing and shoving.

This cute boy had to pose for some picture to put on his Paw Patrol birthday party invitations.

His hair is a hot mess but that smile is priceless

Clearly these pics are out of order...this is another pumpkin patch pic

Grant really loved seeing the old schoolhouse at the Great Pumpkin Patch...he said they just finished talking about what schools used to be like at school.






These are memories I hold close to my heart. Watching these boys growing up has been the best part of my life!

I remember taking this same picture of Grant at this same location -except he was a foot or two shorter. I'll need to hunt that up.






Grumpy wasn't liking all of these pictures I wanted to take.


This was BEFORE the first lost tooth. I'm now thinking the caramel apple may have done the trick!




My sweet boy decided he wanted to "try it again" and he smiled this time!

I love Lane with all the stickers! Anley is terrified of them and bandaids, she hates sticky!!! The signature and date is awesome! Can you read the name!?
