The Zoo Keepers with the crew!

We are the most blessed zoo keepers in the land! The cutest lion, tiger, and monkey were at our house today! The roar could be heard a mile away, and the monkey made herself a voice too!!

 Joseph, the tiger! ( he also told his brother and sister what they wanted their costumes to be this year!!)

Johnathan, our mighty lion! ( who is scared of his shadow most times!! )

      Jayne Elizabeth, the only monkey with a monogrammed bow!

                            Deciding who would be the leader of their pack!

Pumpkins ,Pumpkins!!

We went to an annual pumpkin party at Tonya's house! This is a party with 200 pumpkins already carved for the kids! During the week the adults have a Halloween party and gut the pumpkins, then later in the week the families come for the pumpkin party! GREAT food, and great pumpkins!

Granna came too!

Johnathan giving his sister a kiss!!! love it!

 Granna showing Jayne Elizabeth all the carved pumpkins!

 I think the pumpkins with "windows"  like houses are adorable!

Autumn Acres

A few weeks ago we took the kids to Autumn Acres. It is a corn maze, hay ride, pumpkin patch kinda place! The kids loved the open space to run and play!

                               Jayne Elizabeth and Daddy on the "big kid" slide!

                These kids love hayrides, or anything related to a tractor!

                 The boys love to pick the corn off the cob, entertainment for hours!

       This is a face we see often, one day we will want to remember it!



Hockey!!!

 Anthony went out of town for four days to a veterinary conference so I decided to take the kids to Nashville to see Aunt Kim!!! Of course we had soooo much fun with Aunt Kim! We took the kids ( and myself) to their first hockey game!!! FUN!!!!!! Exciting, to say the least! The highlight of the night was when the boys broke into a loud chant of "war eagle!!" It was a Predators game, but their Daddy does teach them something on college football Saturdays!

Football!!

 The night after the hockey game I took the kids to the high school football game! Aunt Kim is an athletic trainer at the high school so she let the kids come out on the field AND hold a football!!!! You couldnt convince the boys that this was not an NFL game, and that Aunt Kim was not a star! The night was complete when Aunt Kim brought them on the field to "run a touchdown" into the endzone! The smiles were priceless! Joseph was outgoing and fearless! Johnathan needed encourgament, I think the crowds and size of the players were overwhelming. Jayne Elizabeth now wants to be a cheerleader, and has learned new "moves" from the inner city high school atmosphere! ***Note*** The kids didnt ask for Daddy while he was gone, and I think they nominated me for mother of the year! ha!! But I am so exhausted!
