Jackson's Orchard

This past weekend, Shannon was hunting in a bow challenge. Saturday morning I woke up and said let's go shopping. As you can imagine those are my boys three favorite words(not!). Anyways, as we left, Nana & Papa called and they were on their way to BG as well. We met up, shopped a little, and then Aunt Steph called and thought we should go visit the pumpkin patch. Here are a few pictures.
The Cider Slide was a hit!

Will riding a horse. He thinks he's a cowboy anyways!

Walker and Papa

The hay obstacle course was Will's favorite.

Will throwing hay.

I have lots of pictures of Walker - I couldn't keep up with Will to take his picture.

Snack time.

Will's 5th Birthday Party

Here are a few pictures from Will's Birthday Party on Saturday. Will had so much fun and I think everyone enjoyed decorating their pumpkins they picked from the pumpkin patch (see pic). Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate Will's 5th Birthday!

Happy Fall Ya'll

Here is a look at my fall front porch decorations.

A close-up.

Here is a wreath that a friend gave me a couple of years ago. I removed a few flowers and added some fall leaves, with a fall ribbon.

Meet Mr. Barkley

Meet two new best friends and the newest member to our family. Somehow we went from no dogs to two dogs. Barkley was found in the parking lot at school and when the librarian couldn't keep it at her house (her dog didn't get along with Barkley) we ended up with him. Will and Walker are beyond excited. "Barkey" as Walker says weighs 2.5 lbs and is the cutest thing ever. He appears to have lab in him, so he probably won't be small for long.

Trike-A-Thon

Here are a few pictures from the Trike-a-thon today. Will only wanted to decorate his bike with a flag (and Mommy made a little sign for the front). I've heard about bike safety all week long..."always wear your helmet, be careful near driveways, never ride in the street, ..."

Will with Mrs. Jane Ann. The theme this year was circus.
