October 2010





It has been a wonderful Fall. Jackson has played with lots of his cousins this month. First Kingston and Grayson came to visit and then we went to Blue Ridge and Jackson spent some time with the Millholland and Conn cousins. He rode the train to the pumpkin patch and then all the kids carved out their own pumpkin. We had a party at Mari & Papa's house and only one person got hurt, that would be Nathan, who was bitten by a snake. Jackson helped uncle Billy build a fire and he pretended to be a magician, but decided that was not going to be his Halloween outfit. Take a look at a bunch of photos.

September 2010



September has been all about celebrating birthdays, going to football games, and having fun. We had a Camp Rock Party over Labor Day, Jackson still loves the Jonas Brother's and the adults all had a great time. We've made it to 3 Cleveland High Football games to watch Trent and 2 Notre Dame games to see Dylan and Christian play. Jackson has a great time at the games. We went to Uncle Billy's house to celebrate his birthday and we had a Falcon's birthday party, of course. Jackson had a wonderful time there and was so excited to go, he packed the car full of his toys to bring to Uncle Billy's. Mandy, Ella, Atticus, and Finn all came to visit on their Fall break and we hung out in Cattanooga playing in the water. The kids found a turtle and built it a great house on my porch. They thought the turtle escaped, but more than a week later I found the poor thing. I, yes, me, nursed the turtle back to health and we released it back to it's home. I consulted a veterinarian, who assured me, the turtle was fine. We decorated the house for Halloween and had a pre Halloween dress up party with the kids, complete with making buck eyes. We celebrated Christian's 16th birthday at Mellow Mushroom with a bunch of teenagers, and Jackson was right up front when it was time to cut the cake. We spent the evening at Coolidge park playing games and had the best time. We had a smaller, quite time celebrating Michael's b-day. We had the neighbors down for cake. Overall September has been fun. Check out photos.
