Raking and bagging leaves

Here is the yard before Tim starting raking for the second or third time this year...where is Kollie??? She really does blend in with the leaves just not when I'm making her sit for a picture...well maybe a little..did you find her in the first picture John??

Here is Daisy Mae having a great time running through them...and no she doesn't blend in...unless it is dark, Ha,ha,ha!!

Here is one grandson running away from us....go Caleb go!!! Hey he almost blends in!!

I'll go get him....Grandson #2 hot on the trail of #1..yep he almost blends in also!!

Boys come back here....off goes Dad!!! A little slow and no he doesn't blend in ;o)

Caleb and Daisy still on the run...do you think they will find them??? Ha,ha,ha Go Caleb go!!Ok time for Tim to get to the serious work...he did it all by himself this time and it took him about 8 hours...

Don't you love how green the grass is now that you can see it??? Keep raking Tim...there is still lots of leaves.

Wanted to show you he had bags of leaves over on this side also...

Daisy could hide in that pile....

Tim....poor guy I made him go stand in the road by his hard work!! It was only 67 bags....this time...he has Grampa Wildes truck full of them and has already made a trip to the dump with a load, not to mention the bags he got from the first couple of times... Looks good Tim

Come on hon....one more shot...I want to blog this!! Lindsey Lou you want to come help next time??? Hee,hee,hee!

THANKS TIM!!!

Late post of carving pumpkins

Ok I know this is late but I never posted our pumpkin carving time...Yes I make Tim and Tabitha carve pumpkins...your never to old to have some fun. So here we are in the garden picking our pumpkins Tabitha said hers was really heavy...she could hardly lift it!

Tim cutting away with a knife to break through the stem on his...

This thing is huge!!!!

Terrie just snapping the vine and picking hers up!!

Come on guys lets see you do this with your pumpkins!!

Terrie and her grandma pumpkin

Tabitha with hers....if you blow it up you can see her name on it!

Tim with his...no it does not have his name on it...remember his was one that disappeared,

Tabitha thought her lid was just like a pumpkin Popsicle....Yummmy!

Thanks Tim and Tab for the fun times!!! Can't wait until next year!!!

The Other Girls....

I hate to turn on the heat and if I'm the only one here... I don't start a fire...Well I guess the girls must have been really cold on Sat Nov 1....because they were sharing a pillow during the day!!
I really didn't think it was that bad....but hey it must have been...they don't normally share their pillows!! Poor things.

When Tim was canning salsa....Daisy took advantage of the fact that she could lay on the vent and take all the air conditioning....her and Tim fight over it all the time ;o)

Today when we were headed out to do the stores ...I had to run back in to get my sun glasses...and low and behold Kollie is watching doodle bug on the Disney channel!! Ha,ha,ha

And you all laugh at me because I leave it on for them.....she used to like Gomer Pile when I left it on TV Land...but then they started putting bad shows on there so we had to move to the Disney Channel ;o)

Gotta love these girls!!!

Rest of the Cracker eathing contest pictures ;O)

Here is Tatem...but someone who will not be named happened to brush the crackers off their hands just as I snapped the picture ;o). Tatem was trying to finish chewing all those crackers ...it was cute! Tim, Brian and TJ....Looks like TJ got finished first out of the three of them! Ha,ha,ha! Younger and Faster isn't that how the saying goes?

Brian, TJ, Ethan and Tatem....TJ still looks done first but Ethan looks like he could be done also!

John, "The third" (I've decided to start calling him that...he doesn't know it yet ;o)), Hollie, Caleb, Terriebeth and Tatem....this is to early to call....Look at them all chewing fast though;o)

Fun times had by all. The younguns love it...the middleuns...thought it was ok...and the olden, just did it for the little ones...Yeah right.

So now you know...Crackers are a few of our favorite things!! Yummmy
