Two Little Workers

These two little boys love to work.

This particular morning they were finding big sticks

or branches

and carrying them back to the fire pile.

Two Little Boys

The two little boys were helping me load the

washing machine.  Puppy J left for the picture, but before

he did, these two were taking the clothes and throwing 

them as hard as they could into the washing machine 

while making loud grunting noises.

I guess a boys way to get the job done!

It was sweet and I appreciated the help.

Local Pumpkin Patch Fun

Pumpkin Carving

More Fun With Pumpkins

I saw this online and knew Farmer J would love it.

Take a plastic hammer and have them pound golf tees 

into a pumpkin.  He was making this for his Daddy!

We also decorated our little pumpkins.

Come Find Me

Wednesday

Isn't this how we all feel on Wednesday's?

(There might have been a little acting involved in this picture, 

but I did walk in and see his books spread all over the table

and his head laying down.)

Melt My Heart

Daddy's Boots

I'm Strong!

This boy was quite proud

to be carrying a large container

of maple syrup for his mom.

I'm Strong!  He tells me....

Pumpkin Craft

We had a few extra friends over for our pumpkin craft.

Leaves

This is the first fall in our home.  We will have a few more leaves than we have had in years past.  This means lots of work for daddy - but LOTS of fun for the children.

The big kids made a nice pile for these two little boys to play in.

Love this boy's cheese face right now.

Apple Orchard

We enjoyed a nice long afternoon at a local

 Apple Orchard with cousins and Grammie.

Corn pool jumping!

Petting the goats...have I mentioned this boy LOVES animals.

And this little lady LOVED the baby goats.

Going on a hayride.

Jumping on the BIG pillow.

Tractor Rides...

Such a fun day.

Field Trip to City Department

Fun at GiGi's

We enjoyed a morning at GiGi's playing games with her:

And some of her friends:

Under the Table Lunch

We decided to mix things up on Friday and eat our lunch under the table in a fort.

Science Fun

Family Trip - Big Chair

At the end of our day at Silver Dollar City, 

we walked past this big chair and had to get one 

final family picture before our week long trip was over.

Our sweet boy - still smiles after a long day at the park

and no nap!  He slept well that night.

The next two photos were my attempt

at just getting the five of them in 

the BIG chair.  

Nope - wasn't going to happen. 

Did I mention we had been at the park for 

8 hours - walked up and down hill after hill

and been on several rides.

So a serious picture of all five didn't happen.

But this guy wanted the chair to 

himself for one last photo.

And there you have it.  

That was our Branson family trip.

We praise the Lord for answering our prayers

and allowing us to have such a nice trip.

We thank Him for the absolutely GORGEOUS weather

we had while we were there.  We praise Him as we 

saw more of His amazing creation and stand in awe of the 

beauty He allows us to enjoy each day.

We praise Him for good health, safe travels,

wonderful sleepers (besides a few early birds, but we

can handle that) and overall very limited meltdowns.

Dad and I actually kept it together most of the week...smiles..did

you think I meant the children?  They had limited

meltdowns too!

All praise and honor and glory to HIM!
