Weekend with Grandpa...And Still a Climber.

Grandpa came down and stayed with us last weekend was Michael was away working the Three Day Walk for Breast Cancer. Rachel and Jackson really enjoyed spending so much time with him!





He discovered his rocking horse in his room the other night...


Look what I can do! I can climb up on the stool and see into the sink! (If only I could get my hands on all those dishes...)

Sunday Photos

Sunday morning was very chilly and Rachel got to wear her new dressy coat to church for the first time...of course we had to take a picture! She looks so pretty in it!


And after church it was a tad warmer so the coat came off...and we got smiles from both kids!

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!

This year Rachel was Dumbo and Jackson was Charlie Brown. Of course Charlie Brown was too interested in the big and little pumpkins to look at the camera or smile...

That looks like a good place for the football...

Dumbo was pretty excited though!

Of course we go to our next door neighbor's house first...

Mini Pumpkin Patch

Instead of going to the big pumpkin patch this year as we have for the past few years, we decided to keep it a little bit low-key. There is a nearby church that has a little pumpkin patch outside so we headed there after dinner tonight. It wasn't crowded, our kids enjoyed it, it was close by and not stressful (as compared to last year's pumpkin trip...). Jackson smiled right when we got there (the first picture below) but after that, he just couldn't be bothered to sit still, look at the camera, smile, etc...too much to see and do!



He always loves for daddy to swing him around though!


He wanted to put them in his mouth...of course.


"Wee Be Littles"...so cute.


Packing up to go home...and everyone was still happy! (Well, Jackson was tired, but still...)

The Fair

We headed out to the North Georgia State Fair this past Saturday morning. It was a very chilly day - especially in the morning...much different from last year when we were sweating in the hot sun. We got there early and had to wait in line for it to open (we were there during the one hour free admission and free rides!). And Jackson was already tired so there aren't too many smiles from him...

Waiting in line...


Rachel riding Dumbo... she took him high in the air this year and wasn't afraid to keep him up there.


Jackson got to ride the carousel - that was about the only thing he could do.



After the free rides were over, we ate some yummy fair food - you can see Rachel's snacks below. I didn't get a shot of Michael's funnel cake though...


Jackson enjoyed his goldfish though.


And this was one of my favorite pictures from the fair last year... my how much he's changed in a year!
