Photo Friday

Well, not too many pics this week, but a few different ones to check out.... Feeling quite tired today so, I'm short on words.

Jackson & Allison selling lemonade at the Garage Sale last weekend. (Yes, that is a loud speaker he was using. Very Funny!)


Brady & Great-Grandma Vivian reading some books.


The boys wanted to play on the slip n slide last Sunday. It was warm, but on the cooler side. They still enjoyed it.Guess that's what's great about being a kid, you just don't worry about that stuff.

Brady & His Blanket

Brady has always loved carrying around & sleeping with his blanket. Over the last few months he's gone thru these funny transistions of things he does with his blanket while starting to fall asleep. For awhile he would roll the blanket up into a ball and tuck it up under his chin and sleep with it there. Then for awhile he was scruching it up and stuffing it inside his pajama shirt. He would actually sleep the whole night sometimes with the blanket stuff in his shirt. His latest thing is to wrap it around his head like Mary from the bible. Very silly. It's strange what habits they come up with on their own.

Big Brother, Little Brother

I just had to put up some fun pics of the boys from this week....I guess you could say this is Photo Friday (even though I'm posting this Thursday evening). A few friends of mine do this on Fridays and I thought it was a great idea. Hopefully every Friday I will post a few pics from the week (we'll see how that goes). So far this blog has helped me get better about taking pics of everyday stuff, and that's a Good Thing!! I use to be really good and that, then I guess after the second kid, less photos get taken of regular everyday things. Anyway....I digress....on to photos.


They were having a great time painting together on a beautiful day - yay! cooler weather is coming.


This encapsulates Brady at soccer the last few games. He runs down the feild, looks over at us as we're cheering and has this huge grin on his face.


I can't believe this use to be Jackson's raincoat not that long ago.


This week Jackson has requested to read Brady his books for bed. This makes my heart so big & happy!

Dewberry Farm

We visited our favorite pumkin patch last Saturday and had a blast. They have so many fun things to do - feeding the goats, looking at the farm animals, playing in the hayloft, swinging on the sacks, jumping on the "air pillo" (that was really cool), riding mini tractors, a corn train, and Jackson's favorite - the corn maze. We took a hayride out to the pumpkin field, then when it was dark we rode out to the back of the farm and drove thru trees to see all these amazing pumpkin carvings. There were probably over a hundred grouped in to different topics like kids cartoon & movie figures, USA & presidents, Texas icons, etc. This was the first year they did this and I think it will be a new part of the tradition for us.

The Kitchen Pharmacy

Yes, this is our own personal pharmacy at home. It has recently been added to because, believe it or not after Brady had been on his antibiotics for 10 days for his sinus infection, he woke up yesterday with Pink Eye (passed on from preschool). So off to the doctors again. Our doctor said he was just shaking his head when he looked at his charts for the day and saw our name on the list. How sad is that! And on top of the pink eye, he found that Brady has an ear infection. Luckily for our budget he took pitty on us and gave us antibiotics and eye drops from the supply closet. Yeah! That was a blessing. Also, I've been feeling much better and alot less tired - which is also a blessing.
