HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Football Heaven

Seriously folks - football doesn't get much better than this. Alabama is 8-0 and our own Tennessee Titans are 7-0! We are lovin' some football this year!

Everyone is doing great here. Dad got to start back to work and that is just an awesome accomplishment considering all that he has been through in the last year. The kids are doing great in school too. Doesn't get much better :)

Halloween Tea Cakes and Fall Flowers

Fall is my favorite time of year. Cooler weather, pretty leaves and beautiful flowers. My favorite part is baking cookies with the kids. We have been having some fun with an old recipe of my grandmothers.

It took a little bit more to talk Jonathan to join in the baking this year, but I think he ended up having fun too. Jessica really gets into it....notice the food coloring on her hands!

We also made a bit of a mess, but sometimes getting messy is just as much fun as getting to eat the cookies!

Jonathan is very serious about the decoration on his cookes. He was picking up pieces of sugar one at a time to make sure they were placed just right on his cookies....or should I say his work of art :)

Where to begin?

We have had a lot going on the past month so I hope to catch everyone :)

Jonathan turned 14 a couple of weeks ago, and we had a small party at home.

We worked on a social studies project for Jessica. This is our Indian camp setting. Pretty neat!

Time for Fall Break so there was plenty of time to play! Jessica had to take time out for a nap though so that was the perfect time to aggravate Jonathan. He may be getting older, but just threatening to tickle him gets him laughing.

We also got to go to our very good friends football games and celebrate their victories.

Then there was time for fishing. Both of my kids love to fish. They were catching these little ones as fast as the hooks could be baited.

Hope everyone is doing well and I will have more pictures from this weekend. I will try not to take so long to get updates posted :)
