I Love Fall

Here's a beautiful Fall picture. I swiped it from one of my friends on facebook.

Aunt Gina, Cousin Tristan, and Timmy

We took these pictures after Church on Sunday night (Nov. 2nd).

"What's that thing my cousin is holding? Can I get that in my mouth?"
Tristan is holding a sippy cup. It won't be long before Timmy is drinking out of a sippy cup.

Timmy is watching his Cousin Tristan while his Aunt Gina is loving on him. Awwwwww!

Gina is sitting back relaxing while Tristan and Timmy are on her. I'm not sure what Timmy is looking at in this picture but it has his full attention?!

More on Ladybugs

I believe we have licked the Ladybug problem. We haven't seen any coming in Timmy's window in a couple of days. Scottie sealed the entire window. We never use it anyways so he sealed it tight. Scottie referred what he did to a Jaguar engine when they seal it with the blue silicone that they spray all over the engine. I'm loving it because the Ladybugs were all over the wall and the window seal. They were crawling and flying all over the place. I'm sure the Ladybugs aren't happy because of Scottie sealing the window but he did it for their own good because if they come in they will die.

Another Day

So, Scottie is washing and shining the work truck, Timmy just went down for a nap, and I'm on the computer looking out the window at how beautiful the trees are right now. The leaves are falling and blowing all over the place and it's overcast but the color on the leaves make it a beautiful day.

As I'm looking out the window and seeing Scottie cleaning the work truck and watching the leaves I've been reflecting on yesterday and the election results. I'm saddened, as many are, about the results and where this country is heading over the next four years. I've heard people make comments about how we really need to pray now. As I hear those comments all I can think is that you should have been really praying all along. Now we have a new leader and while it's not the leader I would have wanted he is our leader nonetheless. The bible tells us to pray for our leaders. We don't have to like them or approve of them but we do have to pray for them and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

So now that we're moving forward I'm just thanking God for my life, for my husband, and for my son. God has blessed my life so much and that is what I'm going to focus on as we head into these next four years. I'm going to focus on our blessings and our relationship with God because no matter who the President is God is who I look to! As Ed Young said on Sunday, "I Vote For Jesus!" That's where I stand and stand firm! Jesus is my rock! Everything else is just sinking sand. I love you Jesus and I praise you!!!

Jousting at Family Fest

I had to do some doctoring to the picture so that it could be seen. It's not the best pic but it's one of Pastor Steve (Senior Pastor at LWFC) and Chelsea Jousting. Chelsea won! It was fun to watch.

Pastor Steve is the one on the left and Chelsea is on the right.

Ladybugs

Ladybugs are pretty as long as they are outside. When they get into your home they are pests. And they don't just come in ones or twos but in droves. We thought we had the Ladybug problem licked but they're back. For a couple of years now we have been dealing with Ladybugs getting in our upstairs windows. Every Spring and Fall we have had the Ladybug problem. The house is an 80's built home and most of the windows are as old as the house. We believe we have found how they are getting in and once we get it sealed we shouldn't see them anymore. Hallelujah!

Anyhow, I just had to share that. It's been a long battle with the Ladybugs but they are going to loose because I'm going to get rid of them!, with my Scotties help of course :-).

Family pic from Family Fest

One of our church members took this one for us. Timmy is checking out one of the big blow up things with the kids playing on it. A good time was had by all.

Family Fest Last Night

We had a lot of fun at Family Fest last night. We had Timmy dressed up in a pumpkin costume with his halloween bib that his cousin Brittany got for him. Timmy had lots of fun. He was checking everything out so there aren't many pictures of him smiling. A lot of the pics we got of him were where he was looking away because there was so much going on that he was looking at it all.

Timmy looking at his Maw Maw.

Timmy with his Maw Maw and his cousin Tristan, who is smiling big because he is such a ham for the camera, and Aunt Regina.

Timmy and Tristan are checking one another out in this one.

Daddy and Timmy. My two handsome men!

Timmy and Me. Awwwwwwww:-)!

This was taken on October 28th

Here is how we found Timmy this morning. He's facing the opposite way. His stuffed animals are at the end of the crib. He woke up facing them and still covered up. We're not sure how he managed that but he did it.

Fall

I love the Fall. The leaves on the trees turn different colors and it's so beautiful. Today has been overcast but otherwise a beautiful fall day. The temp was suppose to get up to 60 today but I don't think it reached it. It is currently 49 out and the temp is steadily dropping. As I'm writing this I'm hearing ice rain hitting the window. The pictures below show some of the colors we are seeing right now but the pictures don't do the trees justice. They are actually more colorful than you are seeing. These pictures are from our backyard and sideyard.

The leaves in the trees here are actually yellow, red, and green.

Here the leaves are yellow, red, green, and a deep purple.

I'm sure that I will be able to get a better fall picture later.
