Grant's Farm

Michael and Jack having fun at the Farm. Aren't my men so cute.

Watching the train pull up at Grants Farm.

Olivia and Jack at her friends birthday party. Go Cowboys!!!!

Olivia talking to her Pop Pop on the phone. She looked like a teenager sitting in the chair with her feet kicked up. What another gorgeous fall day. Olivia had her last soccer "game" today. I am happy to have it done for a while. We all know how hectic it gets this time of year. Now we just have ballet on Tuesday and Jack's gymnastics on Saturday. We also had a birthday party today. It was a costume party and Olivia was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and Jack was a football player. They had fun hangin out with their friends. It is so interesting watching them with their development. Olivia is starting to want to play with other kids more and Jack still likes to play by himself. The only person he wants to play with is Olivia. After the party we went to Grants farm. Oh my...It was so much fun. We got there an hour before they closed the park and so it was all ours. Olivia got to feed pygmy goats. At first she was scared because they all rushed her at the same time. One was even trying to eat her dress. Once Michael got her into the pen she was happy to feed the one goat. Then one rushed at her and it scared her. She was ready to leave the pen. She looked so pitiful standing in the pen crying. We walked around the rest of the farm looking at all the animals. It was such a long and happy day. Sometimes I just think...Thank you God for blessing me with so much. I mean can you believe it. I have more treasures than any king or billionaire.

Pumpkin Patch

Happy Fall From the Hood's! We went to Peach Tree Farms today and had a blast. Michael was funny when we first got there. The first thing he noticed was they raised their prices. He was making jokes like...Well Olivia I guess you will have to just look at the pumpkins because we don't have enough money to buy pumpkins too...Olivia was clueless. She was just like...la, la, la, la,...daddy I want to feed the goats, daddy I want to see the sunflowers, daddy I want to ... It was so funny. Jack was so curious about everything. The first picture is of him trying to find his pumpkin. He did many thourough test to make sure he chose just the right one. He didn't have time to smile for ANY pictures. I tried so hard to get a cute picture of my two pumpkins...but I just couldn't snap my camera fast enough. Jack was so fast and just on the move. When I got Jack to just stand there Olivia would decide to do something wierd. Oh well. They are my cuties and I love them no matter how silly the together shots turned out. Jack said this pumpkin did not pass the test!
What do you think...Does Olivia just love her daddy? I wonder what my little man is thinking?
Jack was not sure about feeding this goat...Is this just a big dog dad?
Olivia wanted to take this picture...I think it is pretty cute.

This was one of the first pictures we took. She just loves the pumpkins!

Our MAD House

Well not much has been going on here in Columbia. I have taken up some light crafting. I even have made a few embelishments to Olivia's soccer shorts. I made my little niece Lillie a Dora outfit. I am teaching first grade and Michael is still heavy into his residency. Olivia is 3 and Jack is 16 months. Olivia has started sharpening her tounge. She actually ask me "What the hell"? The only thing is I can't be mad at anyone but myself. To hear my sweet angel say a naughty word. She also has started standing on the scale and says uhhh I weigh 4o fricken pounds...Which is so funny because she only weighs 35 pounds. I guess numbers aren't for her yet:P Maybe she takes after me more than I want to admit. She complains about having to go to preschool because she doesn't like to have to work all day. Believe me I wish I had to spend all day with my friends. That is my sweet little girl. A carbon copy of her mommy. I have another little kiddo. Jackson will be my last. He makes me so tired. I wouldn't change him for anything. He loves to get into everything. His new activity envolves pushing a big chair over to my couch, climbing up onto the chair, jumping onto the couch and then yelling...momma, momma to get my attention. I will tell him to stop and sit down. He will then tell me to stop it. I will walk over to him and he tucks his head and starts to fake cry. It is pitiful.:) My little rough and tough boy also has developed a shoe fetish. He is so funny. He doesn't care whose shoes they are as long as they are shoes. He could be throwing a humongous fit and all you have to say is "Jackson want to put on shoes" and he is up saying sooes...bye bye. I am going to try and figure out how to up load photos. Hopefully I can figure it out so you guys can see my cutie batooties. I think I figured it out. Be sure and scroll all the way down to the bottom to see a preview of their Halloween costumes. Olivia loves it and Jack is still unsure. I just have to keep working on it.
