Fall is in the air!

Fall is coming.  I can't wait!  I had to smile when I looked at these pictures because some days the kids are dressed for summer and other days they are dressed for chilly fall days!

 

Jack and Fernie received a card in the mail.  He was pretty excited.

 Their new game...chasing each other through the door and running in circles...hey whatever makes them happy!

 Right now Fernie is our strong-willed child.  She does what she wants and will let you know if she does not like something.  When she is happy she is HAPPY, when she is mad, she is MAD!  Oh but we LOVE HER SO VERY MUCH!

 NO more pictures, please.

 You are NOT going to get my picture!

 I braved the downtown street fair all by myself with the kids this year.  Zack was in depositions all day and my parents were out of town.  I was sweating like crazy by the time I got everyone back in the car, but it was a good time had by all!  Our highlights:  buying a HUGE bag of kettlecorn and eating a HUGE turkey leg!  Yes, so we go to eat!!!  I brought cups for the kids to eat their popcorn as we walked around.   

 And four bites later he was "full"! 

 So our little Fernie likes to be funny and she knows it drives me crazy when she sticks her finger up her nose, so what does she do????

 One Saturday is rained ALL day, by early evening it had stopped and the kids desperately wanted to go outside.  Zack thought it would be fun for them to shake the rain off the branches!

 I'm getting so big!

 I thought it was cute that Jack was "mowing" while Zack was trimming!

 Such a happy girl...or as Jack calls her "gurl"!

 Jack is showing Fernie how to pedal. He is so sweet to her!

 Taking turns shooting the basketball.

 Silly faces of Fernie!

 

 My budding artists.

 Jack is such a good boy. Don't get me wrong, he has his moments but he is such a sweetheart.  He loves life and really loves his sister. He is a great big brother. 

She has the BEST big brother EVER!

 This picture is a classic Jack face...he becomes very serious when he explains things.  He is talking to Fernie:  "well this is a croquet ball..."

 Showing Fernie how to play croquet.

 This is what happens when dad comes home and the kids are playing outside!

 LOVE this picture for many reasons:  1)  The kids love their father; 2) Zack loves playing with the kids; 3) I am so blessed; 4) That's my shoe in the bottom right corner, meaning I got to sit down and relax and I'm not chasing anyone!!!!!!!!!

Cheers to fall!
