LSU Defeated!!

Jeff, Krysta & Jake made a little road trip to Lexington to the Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday to see Jeff & Krysta's favorite college football team the LSU Tigers play the UK Wildcats. LSU came into the game as the #1 seed and undefeated. We happen to be at the last LSU/UK game a few years back when LSU beat UK in the final seconds also known as "The Bluegrass Miracle." It was an exciting finish to say the least. But...the Wildcats had different plans on this gameday and after 3 overtimes, gave LSU their first loss of the season with a winning score of 43-37. Although it was a tough loss, they had a good time and Jake loved his first college football game.

A Toasty trip to the Pumpkin Farm

The Gang's All Here!
One of several Jake picked up
Maggie got this one

We continue to have warm temperatures for the month but made our second annual trip to Daniel's Petting Zoo this morning to get our pumpkins. We met up with friends from church so the kids could play on the playground equipment, feed the animals, and take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin. Last year, the temperatures were pleasant and so were the moods of the kids and parents. There was a little more whining this time because the sun was beating down on us, but overall, the kids enjoyed it and everyone got a treat to take home. More pictures in the "Daniel's Petting Zoo" link.

Jake & the elephants



Jake and his mommy met up with some friends at the Cincinnati Zoo. It is not feeling like Fall yet, but hopefully within the next week or so we will start having some "Fall like" temperatures. Jake always enjoys seeing the animals, especially his favorite..the elephant.

Fun with Melissa!

On Sunday afternoon, Jake and Maggie, went home with Melissa Mayo because daddy was out of town and mommy had to work. It's been awhile since they have had a chance to go over to their house and Jake was beyond excited to be going to "Melissa's house". The first thing Jake said to me when I saw him was, "Can I go back to Melissa's house?" These are a few silly pictures that they took while there. Thanks Melissa!!! :)

What Jake has to say....

Today when I picked up Jake from pre-school, one of the things to bring home was his hand traced on paper. On each finger is something that evidently Jake told his teacher's about himself. So, here are the 5 things Jake shared about himself (in his words):
*Spiderman movies*
*My friend is Maggie*
*I like Spiderman*
*I like chicken nuggets*
*I like blue*

Spiderman, chicken nuggets and a friend named Maggie. What more could a 3 1/2 year old want?

Weekend Visitor

Maggie & Peter

Due to the holiday weekend, Maggie got to bring home one of the pets from her classroom at school. Maggie was beyond thrilled to be the one who got to bring home Peter the rabbit for the weekend. Jake was pretty excited as well. Overall, it has gone well and he has been a good guest. Except for the fact that I had to be the one to clean out the cage and the only word to describe that is NASTY!! I'm just happy to be taking the rabbit back to school in the morning...alive. I never told her teacher of our experience the last time we "rabbit sat" for some friends when we lived in Louisiana several years ago. Not a happy ending....

Natalie's Photos

Natalie got a new camera for her birthday and most of what she takes is of herself. But, she did take some around the pond the other day so I posted a couple on her page. She's also using up the batteries to make little videos so maybe we'll post some of those soon.
