I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Fall

Did I mention I love the fall?! I love everything about it! The color, the crispness in the air, the pumpkins, and all the yummy treats. I love football, the pumpkin walk, fall carnivals, pumpkin carving and Halloween! I just went to WalMart and bought popcorn, caramels, cans of pumpkin, and chocolate chips. I ran into someone I know and she asked what I was making and I honestly don't know. I just wanted to buy fall treats! I'll probably just eat them all plain!
Here are a few pictures of some of the fun things we have been doing this fall. We mainly eat, sleep and drink football, but we managed to throw in a few other activities in between!

Claire Bear is Six

Happy Birthday Bear Bear! You are the light of our lives!





My little bear bear has turned six! She had a cousin party and they went to the beauty school and got their hair and nails done. Perfect party for my girly girl! I thought she would be a tom-boy with two big brothers, but she is all girl and I think it's my fault. She has had jewelry and a hair bow on since the day she was born. My friend Becky made her a beautiful cake and cupcakes and we had a picnic in the park after the salon.

Rocks in her Pocks

Despite the looks of this picture, I am loving my time with Janie.
She is easily entertained anywhere in Highland due to the large rock supply. She LOVES rocks and can keep herself busy for a long time by filling her pockets with rocks. The weight of the rocks often pulls her pants down off her diaper. I have recently discovered dresses with pockets and that seems to be the ticket! She is in heaven and walks around saying, "Mo rocks in my pocks'! Just didn't ever want to forget this!

First Day of School

I am not even going to lie and pretend like I am sad that school has started! I just spent 6 hours with just Jane and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It felt like having my first baby again. And when the other 3 came home at 3:45 screaming and all trying to tell me about their day at once, I was refreshed and ready to take it on! Here are this years first day of school pictures in front of the ugly brown door. They have grown so much! This is the best picture I could get of Jane, who never stops moving. I seem to get a lot of shots of her back and top of head. I do realize that it was nearly this time last year when I last posted! As my dad would say, "Your just too busy living life to write about it!" I am really just lazy and not very technologically savvy. But I am determined to start again to take more pictures and record more memories for my kids.
