Going Private, Maybe

Ok , so I've thought about this.
And as much of a BIG , HUGE pain in the butt it is for everyone involved, it may be a wise decision.
That is ONLY if I can get my Mom to figure out how to get and use a google account. If not, then well, nope, won't be going private.
So, I am gonna give it a whirl anyway.
Please leave me your email if you want to be added!
Thanks
P.s. are the pictures in the next post cut off for anyone else ? We just got a new computer, and for some reason it's not agreeing with my picture sizes.

Richfield Trip (pleasure NOT business!)

Since the concert got cancelled, & I spent most of the night crying about it, we tried and tried to think of something that could be equal in fun-ness. Camping sounded great. Except not with Jaxon. Basically everything sounded fun minus Jaxon. (We do love Jaxon, but we NEEDED a break!) We finally decided that if we went to Richfield, My mom would gladly take Jax. We could go fourwheeling and go get pumpkins.
SO, WE DID.

One of the things that I look forward to every fall, is this! Going to Richfield to my Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch! It's like EVERYBODYS favorite place to go get pumpkins. He takes you on a hayride & lets you pick out pumpkins. He's the cheapest too. He gives away a lot free pumpkins to family (of course!) and schools, and probably anyone else who looks like they need it. He's just really nice that way.

We came here last year & Jax wasn't really old enough to appreciate it. Now, since he's obsessed with every vehicle there is, and can recognize and say it, HE LOVED IT! He's such a smartie pants!

Here's my Dad, who actually for once, doesn't purposely have his hand over his face. Maybe he's getting used to it by now, or maybe its because he's losing weight. He's lost about 50 lbs in like a month and a half. I'm proud of the old guy. Jax looks ultra ornery, but don't let him fool you. He actually does that face when he is LOVING something. He's so into it, that there's no time for things like smiling.

Oh and here's andy & I before we went to the Pumpkin Patch. We had sort of a "date". We went on a long fourwheeler ride that was VERY much needed. (It's been soooooo long since we've been on a good ride)




And here's the famous man himself. Making dreams come true everyday. Haha, is that cheesy or what? Gotta love this cool Grandpa.

Here's a delightful picture of Jax & myself. Jax looks like he can't wait to get away from his awful mother & I look like I need to go get ready for the day. Both are infact very true.





Heres a train that my Grandpa built. He's amazing like that. They give train rides out at the pumpkin patch too. Jax loved it, obviously. Just look at that serious/mad face.


Ok , there's a smile.



My Dad taught Andrew to ride the tractor. Andrew loves being manly like that. I've yet to learn.


Here's a picture my Mom will be thanking me for. Yes, you're welcome mom!

Here are 2 hayrides going on at once. I was thrilled to get this shot. Actually 3 hayrides (I'm on one too!)











I wish we could skip winter and spring and always have summer & fall. Best days ever.

Movie Maniac





I've got to admit, there is ONE thing I like about this stinky age. He is finally understanding things. He wants to learn everything. Therefore, he has an attention span. He loves movies. Lately it's "Nemo" that he's loving most. Better than Little Mermaid, right?
I just love his cute face when he watches movies. He's so concerned about the characters. My cute man.
This almost makes up for no naptime. It gives me a huge break.

Falling in Love

Every year, I fall in love all over again.




The smells. The cool, crisp air. The holidays coming up.

Apparently Jaxon doesn't quite appreciate the beauty.
Give him time.



Or maybe he's crying because we dressed him like this...
he doesn't have any winter stuff that fits him anymore.
poor kid.


We left the hot city in search of some changing leaves.
Oak grove is a great place for that!



I love love love it!



It's The most wonderful time of the year!


Did I mention I love you, fall?
You're welcome to stay as long as you want.
HAPPY FALL!!!

Family Pictures!

My friend took some family pictures of us last week. The fact that she survived it is a miracle. Jaxon was the STINKIEST little fart EVER. He would NOT hold still. He would NOT obey. He would NOT look at the camera. As for Andrew, he as allergy problems that affect his eyes, and me...well, lets just say I'm not used to being the one on the other side of the camera! What an awkward spot to be!
Definitely not the easiest bunch to photograph.
BUT
Some did turn out.















Thanks , Felicia, for your patience.
Thanks for giving me the pics to edit, you know how that makes my day!
You are wonderful.

"No" is not an option


I am going to see them:
I will NOT be taking NO for an answer this time.
Relax. Be nice. Whatever.
