Halloween 2013

 Haaaapppy Haaallllllooooowwweeeeeeennn!  One of my favorite holidays! So fun!

 Carving some pumpkins in the garage

 The boys with their "angry birds" pumpkins

 Lincoln didn't want to touch the "guts"

 But Liam wasn't scared!

 Cutie Patooties!

 Tonto and the Lone Ranger

It was raining on Halloween, but we took the golf cart through the neighborhood when it let up.  The boys weren't too interested in hitting up a million houses anyway, so it worked out perfect!  Such a huge change from our last neighborhood to this one.  In Keystone, we had an easy 200 trick or treaters, at our new house, we had ONE and it was the neighbor!  We did have two neighbors come over to bring treats for the kids though - so nice.  The cutest cowboys and indians I know.  :)

Reid's Orchard 2013

 Do you think we like orchards?  We only hit up every one within a 3 hour radius!  Reid's Orchard in Owensboro was a new one to us this year.  We went with our friends Kolten and Beckham (and Kara) Brackett.

 Tryin out some karate moves in the corn maze

 Thank goodness for friends with camera skills.  :)

 Pickin apples.  Kara uses hers for smoothies.  Healthy girl...  We made apple pie and applesauce!

 That Beckham.  He is just the sweetest little chub!

 All too excited to be using the ladder to pick!

Love these sweet boys...

Papaw Douglas' 80th Birthday

 Earlier this year, Papaw Vincent suffered a severe stroke.  He was life flighted to Louisville for some experimental treatment to break up the clot and the outlook was pretty grim.  The treatment worked, praise the Lord, and Papaw has seen great improvement!  He has since returned home, receives therapy through a home health service, and is able to get around his house by himself!  He still suffers from some confusion at times, and his speech is often difficult to understand - but these things are mild when considering the primary prognosis.  We're thankful that he is still here with us, and that he was able to celebrate his 80th birthday this fall!

 Papaw and his brother Ashby.

Blowing out his candles (if you'll look closely, you'll notice he already got into the blue icing!)

The family line.  What a crazy bunch....

Mayse Farm 2013

 This year, we took a trip to Mayse Farm with the McCormick's.  Lincoln and Liam LOVE Ellison and Emmerson, and they LOVE the farm, so this made for a pretty exciting trip.

 Check out these buddies!

 Going for a wagon ride

 Slingin Gourds!  The boys favorite part

 Here are our friends, Matt - Jackie - Emmerson - and Ellison

 Liam picking out his (huge) pumpkin

 How sweet is Emmerson?

 Lincoln just HAD to find a bigger pumpkin than Liam.  Lol!

 Everybody got to go for a horseback ride

Look at those sweet faces.  But don't look too closely...  Pretend you can't see the "accident" Liam had because he was having too much fun for a bathroom break...  :(

Jackson's Orchard

Time for our annual Jackson's Orchard visit!  For some reason, I can't find the pictures from my camera -- so thank goodness I was able to steal moms.  Lot's of busy boy action probably led to less pictures than normal... LOL!

 Lincoln was really loving the hay castle/maze this year.  Climbing all over it and jumping everywhere.  Liam was trying (God love him), but his little legs just wouldn't let him make it too far.

 Look how cute my little mom is, too.  :)

 We're really moving up that apple chart!  I just love these two...

 They couldn't settle on just one pumpkin, of course, so we ended up taking way too many home.

 We had some super bravery this year!  Wanted to go all by himself.

 And Liam held mom captive at the goat ranch.  That boy and his love for animals.

Sweet face.
Another successful trip!  We sure do love Jackson's Orchard!
