A month behind....

October was a busy month for the White House...(not just our White House, but the real one too, I think!). Between Jeff's football, my work, Jackson's preschool and church activities, the month flew by. I am hoping that as the holidays approach, we can find some time for some rest and relaxation. I tried to put on some pictures but I am not sure which ones made it 'cause there was a computer error, but hopefully the one of Jackson's preschool class made it on here. It turned out absolutely adorable. They are all precious, sweet children. It is hard for me to believe that he is growing up so fast. He wants an MP3 player for Christmas, which to me seems so grown up! We went on a field trip with the class to PaPa Charlie's pumpkin patch, near Chillicothe. It was a blast! There was a hay maze, a pedal tractor riding area, a 70 ft slide, hay bales to climb on, a pumpkin shaped moonwalk, and several trains. The kids loved it and we adults had a pretty fun time, as well! I attempted the slide with Jackson which I admit was very fun! I also attempted to put up a picture of the kids on Halloween. Jenna was a pumpkin (or "monkey" as she calls them!); Jackson was a tiger. They had a blast trick or treating in our neighborhood and got loads of candy. Since it was on a Friday nite, we made it over to Ma & Pa's, Grandma and Grandpa's and Uncle Jerel's house for loads more candy. The next day we went to Fun Farm Day, an event put on by the local FFA chapter in honor of a little boy who passed away a few years back. The kids had a blast running around in the hay maze and petting the animals. Jackson got to practice roping a fake steer! They had tons of fun things for the kids to do.
The next day, I hosted a baby shower for my sis and my soon-to-be niece, Lillyann Grace Wiley. It was a great afternoon! The cake turned out awesome and she got a lot of beautiful baby things for little Lilly. I again, tried to post a picture of the cake, but don't know if it worked or not. I was hoping to put up some family pictures that we were supposed to have taken this afternoon (outside) but due to the cold, windy, gray day we had to cancel. It has been pretty nice though, to have a Saturday with nothing really particular that we have to do. Those are the best days ever. Tonight, we are headed to our friend's house to meet with our Sunday School class bonfire. I think it should be a perfect evening to gather in front of a fire.
Until next time.....
