Happy Turkey Time

Chad took this picture this weekend riding the kids around in Chic. There was about 20 turkeys that crossed in front of us. He told Lexie he could shoot one right then if we needed one for Thanksgiving Dinner. She said "Yeah, then we can cut their heads off and put them in the oven!"

Halloween

Finally, here are some pictures from Halloween. The kids and I went to several parties last week and we went to the church for our Fall Festival.

This is us going to Granny's house for her party. Katie and Anna do you recoginze Lily and Mama's costumes. Those are the outfits we used to dress up in!!

Pictures from the Wedding

JD cried through the wedding so Chad had to take him riding in the car. Then he slept through the reception.
Kim and Brandon

Lexie and Brandon's nephew Hunter and Kate the other flower girl.

Kim's new sister-n-laws Keri and Katie. Katie, the one in the middle, is Brandon's twin that got married at the same time.

Married

Well Kim is officially married. We are back from the wedding. We all had a good time. It is early in the morning. I will post pictures later.

Roadhouse, Paper Eater, and Coon Club

What is it about Roadhouse? Just about every guy I know loves the movie Roadhouse. You know the one with Patrick Swayze and the bar and all the fighting. Well it was on today and JD in true manly fashion lunged at the TV like it was his new best friend. He saw the big monster truck in it and crawled as fast as he could over to the TV and pulled up and started talking to and patting the TV.



Also, JD has turned into a paper eater. He can find paper anywhere no matter how small it is. He will quickly put it in his mouth and try to eat it. I always know what he is doing because he acts sneaky. He will sit with his back to me and shove it in his mouth as fast as he can before I see him. If I say anything he will scream, laugh, and try to crawl away from me before I can pull it out of his mouth.



Chad and Corey Jeffries are starting a coon club in Dyersburg. There used to be one a long time ago and Chad has many fond memories of it. His dad was the president. This is a place where the hunters can get together and tell tales, show off their dogs, and hunt together. Sometimes they even have coon suppers. Chad tried to start it back when we first dating but he got tired of doing all the work. He even got me and Anna to eat some BBQ coon.

Oh, that reminds me about a month ago we went to homecoming at the church in Chic. They were having a potluck dinner. As I was filling up my plate Chad's sister pointed to her roast she brought and said, "Cindy, you might want to get some of mine because you never know what the other dishes are made out of!" Meaning??? I wonder this as I stare at my plate. Coon?? Squirrel?? Deer??

Ode to Trigger

Trigger how I love you. Let me count the ways. As most of you know Trigger is my horse and really really old. She is somewhere around 30 years old. If she had papers we would know! Trigger has been around longer than almost everyone Chad, Anna, Katie and has outlived many pets Frisky, Major, Scout. I could go on. We bought her 21 years ago. Can you believe that! To me it is amazing that my children are learning to ride on my childhood horse. It just makes me teary eyed to think about it.

Working at the Pumpkin Patch

Well we have worked the pumpkin patch several times at the church. After buying everything the first time Lexie has gotten bored with it and now wants to stay with Little Mama. JD is still loving it and wants to crawl around everywhere if you do not keep him in his car. Then her proceeds to try to eat everything in site. He is just an outdoor baby, he loves it. Yesterday, JD and I manned the pumpkin patch alone

This was the tractor that almost gave JD whiplash trying to look at it!

This is JD trying to eat straw. He looks at it first and talks to it like he is saying, "Get in my belly!"
