Happy

Happy Thanksgiving....... Hope you all have a great one.

should have named my blog kind of crazy here....

Well I should have as it is always carzy here.  Joe is going on a second week of being I guess you could say all out of sorts.  I am going crazy,  and why is it that when that happens people what you to call certin people and see if they will come and help you with ways to handle his behavior.  Have I not been trying to do that all along, sorry nice gesture but does not help.   Anyway the other lady that comes and helps (Family Outreach)  said she thinks it is this time of year, the weather, and the time change, and you know I agree.  The holidays don't help either and there are 3 big ones this time of year, one right after the other.  I love the holidays but they really are hard.  I am stuck in a rut also and do not want to do anything.  ugh is all I can say.  Well I guess that is my big rant for the day.  Other then that all is good.
Day 5-  Thankful for all my friends near and far.
Day 6- Thankful for all the good blogs out there.  They are fun to read....
Day 7-  Thankful for the warmth of our house.
Day 8 -   That God is the foundation of it all....
Day 9-  That we have all been pretty healthy so far.
Day 10-  That my husband has a job so I can stay home.

She loves her brother..

Kind of crazy here....

Well sorry it has been so long, it has been kind of crazy around here.    We have been dealing with being out of work because of the rain, although I am loving the cooler weather.   Had a sick kiddo.  I guess just a bunch of life stuff.  But here are some pictures i have taken along the way... with my cell phone as my camera got thrown, so guess i need to put that on my Christmas list.

My scrapbook page from when we went to Seattle.

just being goofy..        

New used van, as our transmission went out on our other one....

A quilt I am making for my aunt.

Joe just being silly and trying on outfits for Halloween as he will want to be 50 things before then.

Jacob showing his 2 lost teeth that he lost one, one night and the next the next night.  We were keeping the tooth fairy busy:).

Look what I found in moms closet.


Well these are just some of the new ones on my phone that I have taken.  Kind of sucks not having my camera. 

Fall

Well the other day I went to the store and there it was egg nog (yummy).  Then there it was pumpkin spice, gingerbread, and sugar cookie coffee creamer.  Well those are a couple of my favorite things.  Although it is still warm outside there is a bit of a chill to the air and I love it. Thought summer was great but I really like the cooler weather.  Hope fall hangs around for awhile as not a fan of all the snow either.  So happy fall ya all.....

  

Some pictures...

Joe's first pumpkin of the season.  It is a cat one.  Pretty good hu?

Kind of blurry, but I still like it.  My volleyball star...

He is using his trucks as skates :).

I like my new bathrobe can you tell??

Quite

It is quite in my house this morning just the ticking of the clock and you can bet I am enjoying it, reading all the blogs that I am addicted to reading.  Jordyn and Jacob are off to school, and Joe and Maddie are still sleeping.   I also like the noise but after two weeks of watching Rio (cute movie) over and over and over from the time Joe wakes up it is nice to have a bit of quite.  Lately he has started to do that watch movies over and over for weeks it is a bit odd.  My hubby and I were thinking maybe it is relaxing to him or something.  I wish I knew what he was thinking sometimes or how he was feeling would help.  When you ask him he is always telling you he is good or fine and sometimes you know he is not.  Makes you a little sad.  He made his first pumpkin picture of many more to come and he said it was a kitty one.  Well was going to upload some pictures but it is not working so will come back later.  The kids are awake now :).  Hope you all have a wonderful day.
