Thanksgiving with Daddy J & Mama J

Driving that big blue tractor with Daddy J (and dumping)!

Cheesing with Me-Maw.

Daddy being funny with the camera while we looked at horses at Berry College.

Guess who's having a ball on an unending dirt rode through the woods??

Another highlight - "humongous" leaf piles to jump in - oh, the little things!

Family pictures are coming soon. We hear that they are "in the mail."

Thanksgiving with Pa & Grandmother!

Jay's favorite thing was the fire pit and collecting sticks to put in it...he cleaned out the woods pretty well!

Caleb's favorite thing was the gator!

Pretending to catch lots of fish like Daddy & Pa.

Sparklers were another hit (HUGE change from last year)!

The boys & Nicholas in the tree house that Pa built.

Birthday Lunch with Daddy!

We met Daddy at Chuck E Cheese for lunch!
Between them, we played this one at least 6 times...
Jay said that his favorite part was the games, not the pizza...on that we all agree!

The train is Jay's all-time favorite here.

Daddy prefers the racing games!

Caleb likes it all, but lost air hockey to the birthday boy! What fun!

Happy Birthday, Jay!

Since we didn't do presents at his party, Jay got to open a few after everyone left.
Birthday morning with Daddy!

Yes, Mommy was there...see, she made chocolate chip Smiley pancakes. They were a hit in theory, but Jay declared that he likes blueberry better and ended up eating plain ones. We cannot believe that our little boy is 5!

Operation Christmas Child!

When we went to Date Night at church, Jay & Caleb delivered the boxes.
Jay was so proud!

All of Jay's friends brought items to fill Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to the party. When we finished putting it all together, there were 10 complete boxes!

Our SUPER boys!

PARTY!!

"Is it time for my friends to come yet?"

Jay's favorite party of the party. Thanks Daddy J & Mama J!

Pin the "S" in Superman (indoors because it was 40 degrees outside!)

Kids everywhere...just like Jay wanted it! His birthday request was for friends (he made the list himself) to come to his house for a Superman cake and pinata. Done! Thank you all for helping us celebrate!

Cookies!

Jay and Caleb were VERY excited to help make & decorate cookies to take to school for their fall parties! Didn't they do a great job?

Halloween!

Like father, like daughter...poor misguided girl!
We went early to the Bohannon house before going to FBC Rogers' Trunk or Treat.

Collecting from Ms. Sheila during the neighborhood parade.

Attempting a picture of all of the Berry Farm kids at the annual Costume Parade & Fall Festival.

Right Choices Corn Maze!

playing "pumpkin ball"
checking out some of the farm animals (this is before the hen pecked him through the fence)
Not going to smile for any more pictures...
...well, maybe one more with Daddy!

Riding on the Cow Train
In the corn maze...hmmmm, which way should we go?
Jumping on the hay bales!
Sliding!
On Sunday after church, we drove to Missouri for a family birthday outing. We all had so much fun...this will become a yearly affair. We are so thankful for time with our boys!
