Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

We took my cousin Jennifer and her husband Steven to Burt's Pumpkin Farm near Amicalola Falls this weekend to get pumpkins. The place was pretty packed, it was the perfect Fall weekend and it seems that everyone else had the same idea. Its a great place and lots of fun, it really puts you in the mood for chilly fall weather and Halloween!!
They have so many pumpkins, big ones, small ones, bumpy ones, orange ones, white ones, blue ones, brown ones, flat ones and some of the biggest I've ever seen!
We picked up a few bails of hay and couple of mums and the front porch is ready for Fall.....
Too much fun!

First Camping Trip

We took a camping trip with friends to Amicalola State park for 2 nights. Its was great fun and the weather was perfect, it felt like Fall! More friends arrived the second day, we ended up with a total of 12 adults, 2 kids and 3 pooches!
We roasted marshmallows and made smores (Tip: use Sugar Cones instead of graham crackers, less messy especially in the dark) & played several games around the campfire until the wee hours of the night!!
It was beautiful, Enjoy!!

2 Years Old !!



Genevieve turned 2 years old on Thursday!! My parents, brother and my brothers girl Friend got into town late Thursday night so we celebrated her birthday Friday at Chuck E Cheese. Afterwards, we had birthday cake and presents back at the house.


Saturday we took Genevieve to Monkey Joe's so she could play with two girl friends; Lexie and Allyn Marie. This is a girl who threw a fit about going down a 3' slide only a few months ago and here she is practically free falling down a 15' slide all by herself with a smile on her face!



This is my mom, brother and his girlfriend Nicole who came all the way from Dallas to celebrate with us!!!


This morning after everyone left for Texas before the sun came up, Matt, Genevieve and I loaded up and went to the airport to visit with my cousin Amy and her daughter Carmen while they waited on their connection back to Washington State. The girls giggled and ran around the airport for about an hour until it was time to say good bye.......This was their first time to meet each other!!



Happy Birthday Sweetie!!
We Love you.

Long Time No Post

Whew, its been a while since I last posted. We've been going 90 mph over the past month and this past week was no exception. We left for Kansas Tuesday and just got home a few hours ago. Matt's uncle "J "passed away last Saturday morning of a heart attack, he had just celebrated his 47th birthday in July and their 25th Wedding Anniversary the month before. He was a beloved husband and father and will be missed by his family and community.
Unfortunately I haven't taken many pictures lately however I did take this picture of Genevieve passed out in the car on the way home. I'll try and post something good in the next day or so.
What a Face!!!
We're going to be getting ready for Her 2nd Birthday that's just around the corner so I hope to have something exciting soon!!
Take Care, Jessy

Bathing Beauty


Got these cute shots of Genevieve playing in the pool yesterday. I think she actually spent more time pouring water in the pool with her watering can than she spent in it......

WAKE UP!!!!

Thank you Steven!!! You better believe I'm going to use it too!
While we were in Biloxi for the 4th we stayed with my Aunt Janet and Uncle David. My Aunt Janet is a big coffee drinker as am I so I knew I'd get my morning fix while I was staying with her. Come to find out, she has switched to decaf. Now I know decaf still contains caffeine but its not quite at the levels I'm accustomed to. Anyhow, until I knew this I had been dragging booty every morning and I couldn't figure out why I was having such a hard time waking up?
Jennifer & Steven took his mom and my aunt to New Orleans the day after we left and while they were there saw this and had to get it for me, Ha Ha!
Thanks Guys!

Home for Sale



We decided to go ahead and put the house on the market this week..."Uhgg" I have been dreading it with the market the way it is right now but Summer time is one of the best times to do it. We're ready to get started on our other lot, its just two lots down from where we are now. I know its going to take longer this time and I'm not looking forward to having to keep the house spotless during the week with our busy schedules and pets. Our first house in Allen sold the very weekend it was available and the second house in Orlando....even better, 7 offers the first day...CRAZY!

Wish us luck!
