Let's get some fresh air!

The weather has been beautiful (crisp, but beautiful!) so we headed outside for some fall clean up and to get the Christmas lights up. With all these boys around I barely lifted a finger (not really, but I was trying to explain to Jaxon why he should offer to take the heavy things for me. Him being a boy, me being a woman...you know! Yeah-he didn't get it either! Truthfully, Jaxon has become a huge help around the house. Its neat to see him grow up to be so helpful. Ty and Huddy wanted to help too...and they did! So cute! Poor Kenna wanted to be out there helping too. She's been asking her daddy to put the lights up for weeks and she really wanted to help, but with a fever and bad cough she didn't feel up for it. She actually tried to fake not being sick any more but none of us fell for it. We let her come out with us for a little while but after a short time she was in tears and ready to sit by the fire. Poor little girl!



Here's that new smile I was telling you about. Cheese ball!

Not Jay's favorite place to be.


Jaxon's not to big on heights either so the two of them were a pair! I was down on the ground putting Christmas lights on the bushes and I snickered the whole time listening to these two! "whoo!" "you OK?" "yeah, I'm good"....a few minutes later... "whoo" "you OK?" "yeah, I'm good" and so on! It was too funny!

Huddy's into posing for the camera with funny faces these days! This is his favorite...the tear your lips till they bleed pose! Yikes!


This is the technique that Jay learned from Adam Renstrom a few years ago...it's amazing! You put the bag behind you and put your heals inside the bag, bend over and shovel the leaves in with your hands! He really made great time!

Ty & Huddy getting there 3 leaves in the bag!


More help from the peanuts!


Jaxon was in charge of raking the leaves to his dad so Jay could keep shoveling!

What a good helper you are Ty Ty!

Whad up whad up-we got a shout out! That's so funny that he would've remembered that technique. Adam said he taught him that like 4 years ago! Thanks for the props! :)

It's always fun when raking leaves and putting up Christmas lights become a family affair! Great pictures! It looks like you had a fun Thanksgiving, too - well, except for poor Kenna feeling sick. Hope she gets better quickly.
