All Things Fall
First, a big thank you to Christian Bloggers Unite for featuring my blog this week. If you are visiting for the first time, I hope you find this site to be everything the CBU Team promised in their gracious description. For those of you who hang around here regularly, check out their website. It is full of great resources for the Christian blogger.
On to other news….
We had a fun, full, fall weekend. It will be best if I share it in pictures…
The Girl and I went to her best boy friend R’s costume birthday party. Seriously, could she have picked a taller crown? I suppose she chose that one because it matched her royal flip flops. The plastic glass slippers were killing her feet.
Here’s Girl, with best buddy, A. (Her mom, Holly, just started a blog. Go see her!) She ditched the crown but not the automatic ‘cheese’ mode she goes in to when the camera is out.
The Girl and her other ‘boyfriend’, B. Don’t you love this boxer costume? It completely cracked me up.
We took a group of kids from church to the Pumpkin Patch.
Uncle Clay and Aunt Tammy with Carter (Deedra’s darlin’ boy). He picked out his own John Deere gear for the trip. He’s smitten with anything green.
I love this picture of Ally and Rachel. Ally is Deb’s girl.
The Girl and Eldest. I was so glad he wanted to go with us. I keep waiting for him to boycott all kiddie activities. So far, he’s still willing to hang out with his mom. He’s such a great kid. Please tell me I won’t lose him when he turns 13!
Number Two Boy. We went to the Pumpkin Patch straight from a football game. He had just finished accidentally sticking his entire hand into a rotten pumpkin. I seriously thought he would throw up. Hilarious.
Look at this hunka hunka precious baby. This is Deedra’s Lilah.
My Number Three.. He looks like he is posing for a football picture. I’m praising the Lord his hair is growing back out after a summer buzz.
The Girl feeding a cow. I was really surprised she would let it get near her. I’m not a huge fan of the bovine but this one was so gentle and sweet-natured.
I can not even express the sheer exhaustion I’m feeling over this weekend but it was SO packed with fun. I love all things Fall and am thoroughly enjoying the season, trees full of toilet paper and all.
What do you enjoy most about this time of year?
You know what I love most about fall? The colors of the changing leaves. They are BREATHTAKING outside my window right now. It’s just extravagant. I think it’s a touch of God’s glory.
Ally had a ball at the Pumkin Patch. Thankful for you good moms that went and took pictures. I opted out to go to the grocery store since the family had no food. We had quite a fun-filled weekend too. Hung out with friends Friday night til midnight and I took Ally to a skating party Sunday. I so need a nap today…maybe after work!
I love everything about Fall. The crisp temperatures, the fall leaves, the way it looks like its raining leaves when the wind blows, the comfort foods, and sweater weather! Great pictures…it looks like lots of happy memories for your kids. :)
As I type I have 5 children camped out in front of the TV and eating that huge pizza you sent home with us. I doubt there will be a bite left. We had a wonderful spend the night party ( I even slept in the living room with them if you can believe that). They have all been so great. Sidney has fit in with the older kids just fine. I guess that comes from growing up in a house of older brothers. All of that to say I love these fall breaks we get from school and the kids being able just to hang out and have fun.

YAY!! I love the pics!! The princess is beautiful!!
You rock!
What a great weekend! We had a wonderful one too! I haven’t blogged about it yet! If I could just get some house work done and spend some real quality time on this machine, but alas not to be yet, just a quick pop in!!!
It was great spending time with mom and dad and getthing to see everyone back home. I read your blog, as well as many others, all the time and it has inspired me to create my own. So here it is!! (Oh and by the way…I may be calling on you for HELP!!! I am not technology savvy!!!)

I love the fall colors, comfy winter clothes, getting to wear boots to church instead of pantyhose, being able to spend time outside without smothering or sweating and the holiday family gatherings.
This season makes me think about football and rolling yards. :-)
We took our High School girls sunday school class out a couple of years ago to roll a couple of yards…wasn’t thinking at the time that it probably wasn’t a good idea to do our traveling in the church van. The nice officer seemed to be kinder to us when he saw us walking out of Walmart with 20 packs of toilet paper though. I told him it was a toilet paper ministry.
Oh, and boy #1 looks like a GIANT!
Your daughter is beautiful just like her mama! I am glad you had a great weekend. You know Fall is my fav time of the year. I love the pumpkins, cooler weather, watching the leaves change. I am impressed that Boy #1 went with the family, now turning 14 may be a different story. ;)
Love you,
Patty
Great pics!
Save the toilet paper and it will help with your grocery bill! Thank those who rolled your yard. :)
Looks like you had fun! I have yet to do our fall “pumpkin patch” photos. Hard to get into the fall mood when it’s still in the 80’s here in TX. LOL!
I love the cooler temperatures of fall, when we get them.
Love all these pictures. It’s too hot to think Fall around here too much. But these pictures make me know it’s happening “somewhere”.
Hope you’re well…and no, 13 does not mean they automatically turn from hanging out with their Mothers. I’m blessed each time my boys are part of the “crowd”…and don’t mind me being in it, too.
Hugs,
Susan
Oh, I love fall too – the pretty leaves blowing all over, the pumpkins, the apple pie.
Your little girl is cute and the costume party looked like lots of fun. Glad you enjoyed your weekend.
I love that Reggie Bush jersey! The young man has taste! :)
I can’t wait to go to Burt’s Pumpkin Patch in North GA this weekend! Thanks for sharing all the pumpkin experience with us! :)
Love the pictures, Lisa! The Girl is just gorgeous. We just went to the Pumpkin Patch last Friday, and it is always one of my favorite fall activities. I am so excited that the weather is cool enough to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or tea now in the evenings, and I have a huge hankering to bake a pumpkin roll or an Apple Streusel Pie. :)
Looks like the fall weekend was awesome! I love the pumpkins…we have a pumpkin patch not too far from here and I hope to go with my neices for a visit.
Thanks for sharing!

I’m cracking up over boy #2 nearly hurling over the rotten pumpkin! I know people who love getting their yard rolled….they save the tp and use it! Of course those same people used to make their son save everyone’s wrapping paper after we opened Christmas gifts at school.
I’m pretty sure he’s on medication now.
