Fall is (Finally) in the Air

Yesterday was the first day we actually had to wear jackets. It has been so unseasonably hot here - and it finally cooled off yesterday. We didn't make it out of the 60's yesterday I don't think - it was a nice change from the heat. Anyway - Wendy wanted to take the boys pictures so mom took them up to her house - the leaves are starting to change colors and they had a bail of hay left over from the Pumpkin Festival. I emailed some of you the Kodak link - but I wanted to post a few of my favorites.

And now for the Brotherly LOVE

Good Stuff, Good Times

OK - So some of you know, but some of you don't - Wendy and Nicki have started a business. They are in the catering business. This past weekend was their first event (they are starting off with Fairs and Festivals). They were a vendor at the Pumpkin Festival (BBQ, Hot Dogs, Hot Ham and Hot Turkey Sandwiches). They asked Jeremy and I if we wanted to be a part of it and we declined since we have the boys. However, as good siblings do, I offered up my help whenever needed. Well, much to their surprise they were in desperate need of help this past weekend. With Nicki and Nick both having to work their "normal" jobs - Wendy and Jim were going it alone a lot. So Thursday wasn't bad (Nicki worked along with Wendy and Jim) - But then Friday came along and guess what - they were bombarded with customers - so Mom and Lori to the rescue. We worked Friday evening, and all day Saturday. Jeremy and Dad watched the boys. The business (Good Stuff, Good Times) was a huge success. Now Jeremy and I are questioning our decision as to not be a part of this business. They cashed in. They did share some of the wealth for my hard days work - They head to Bridge Day next (October 20th). That will be interesting. I will let you know how that one goes. In the meantime you can check out some of these pictures.

Bradley was helping here and Wesley was just taking it all in

Bradley's 1st Field Trip

Bradley's class went to the Pumpkin Festival in Milton, WV on October 4th. Mom, Wesley and I tagged along. He seemed to have a good time - it was CHAOTIC to say the least. I don't know how they made it home with all the kids. :-) Here are a few pictures - I was trying to video and take pics at the same time so I don't have a lot - just a few.

Maddy's 3rd Birthday Party

We attended Maddy Young's third Birthday Party On September 29th. As always Bradley had a blast - they painted T-shirts, had cake and ice cream and opened gifts. Here are a few pictures of the event. Thanks Stephanie for a very fun time.

Wesley's accomplishments

I don't have any pictures because it happened so fast and I ran and got the video camera instead of the still camera - but Wesley rolled over yesterday. He has been trying so hard for the past several weeks and he finally made it over. I put him on the bed to help Bradley with something and when I turned around he was on his stomach. So yes I missed it. But as any mother would do I turned him back over and watched him do it 5 more times. And of course by the time I thought I should get the video camera he decided he was done with that trick and I didn't even get it on video. Typical.

Who Do They Look Like???

My Little Mountaineers

Well it's that time again - FOOTBALL SEASON! Hopefully it will be a good one - after the start of the Marshall game I was beginning to think differently. They scared us there for a minute but in the end the Mounties prevailed. Here are the boys the past two weekends all decked out.
