Fall Family Pictures

Painting

Last night, I went to a painting class!  I had so much fun.  Granny Ham, Kristi, her mom, Paige and Aunt Donna were there along with many others.  Kim Hunt instructed everyone on what to do and I am pleased with how mine turned out.  Everyone's looked so good too and different.  It's amazing how each one can look completely different.   Here's mine:

She's going to do a Christmas theme class later.  I think I will definitely be there!

Another addition

Here's our newest another addition to the neighbor's "farm."  They have added some others since I took this picture.  I'll introduce you to them soon.

Kitnens

Jackson got two "kitnens" a few weeks ago.  Clint assisted him in naming them Smokey and Bandit.

Jackson and Smokey

Bandit, which sounds like bandaid when Jackson calls him.

Unfortunately, we had to replace Bandit with a look-a-like within four days and within five they were all gone.  Mean neighbor dogs.  We ended up having to tell Jackson and he took it well.  It was a little hard for him to understand because he didn't know why the mean neighbor dogs couldn't just bring them back.  But he's fine.  We'd like to get him more, but the neighbors will have to quit feeding the stray dogs first.

Pumpkins

This week we finally decided we needed to get our pumpkins to get ready for Fall/Halloween.  I don't know if we're going to make it to a pumpkin patch this year, so we opted for Wally World pumpkins.  Jackson picked them out and helped me carve them (with a butter knife).  He actually did a really good job at getting the "guts" out.

Sorry for the blurryness.  It's hard to get a picture of pumpkins at night.

Happy Fall!!

P.S.  Mom and I are running in the Liz Hurley 5K this morning.  Please pray for us!  We haven't been running as regularly as we used to and we really just want to finish!

I'm BAAACCCKKK!!

So apparently I decided to take a little bloggy break...

It started when I was auditing at a client's office who doesn't have a wireless connection.  Yes, I could do it from home, but who has the time.  I have a child who loves, loves, loves to be outside...where there are no computers.  And Clint's usually on the computer after Jackson goes to bed.  So, I said all that to say this:  I've been busy.

I have lots of pictures to post, but not necessarily a lot of commentary.  It's actually amazing that I have pictures because I always forget to get the camera out.  I think I will spread the pictures over a few days instead of all at once.  I'm not promising to get them in chronological order.
Here are some from Jackson's days at Papa and Granna's:
