Apples, Apples & more Apples

I AM APPLE SAUCED OUT!!! ;-)

Amanda and her kids came over on Saturday to make apple sauce with us. It was a lot of fun and made the work easier with someone to talk too as you worked. It only took us 4 1/2 hours working as a team.

Then on Tuesday I went out to Aunt Marylou's house and picked 1/2 the apples on her tree. (The other 1/2 is for Bill) Sooooooo needless to say I have a lot of apple sauce. That is a good thing seeing I babysit for two two-year old and a almost 10 month old. The apples that Megan is holding came from 1 of our trees.

Isn't thanksgiving dinner looking GOOD!!! He is even bigger then the wild turkeys now;-) Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!

Ashley's first week of high school. can you see how smart she's getting:D

these are some pics from cross country

Note from Sonny

Well I'm starting my third month here at my new job and I love it! They are giving me a raise and everything because I've done so well. Little Art is loving being in Second Grade. His cursive writing is getting quite good. He is memorizing his bible verses with ease. Little Marlee is standing and walking along furniture now. She is 9 1/2 months. She can also say mama and dada. I can't believe how much she has grown. AJ will be home this weekend thru Labor Day. He is excited to be coming home for a quick visit before he heads back to South Carolina for school. He graduates on the 24th, just in time for his Birthday Celebration. Me and the kids will be driving up for the graduation. All and all we aren't doing too bad. We miss you all so very much and wish that we could visit more. You'd think it's be easier now that we are so close, but our work and school schedules are so crazy. Hope all is well with you and Dad. Love you all! Sonny

Sonny's pics

Rebecca is the only one posting lately and since not everyone has facebook, I downloaded these from Sonny's site. Arthur is away at Drill Sgt. school and Sonny is now working at Art's school, so they get a discount and have the same hours. Such good looking kids.

My 3rd grader

Today was Megan's 1st day back to school. I can't believe that she is a 3rd grader already!! How did that happen someone please tell me;-) We got her off to school on time and the morning went really good. So I thought something has to go wrong my life doesn't move this smooth then I let her start to ride the bus home from school this year (BIG step for me I know) so I thought that they would put her on the wrong bus......but that went good also. She got home a little late but it's the 1st day and I kind of thought she would. So I thought this is going to be a good day......then I got the homework out and that's when the day took a turn I knew it was to good to be true! Why do they have to have homework on the 1st day of school? WHY??

Ashley I hope High School was all you hoped it would be!!!
