Fabulous Fall

 Sorry for the delay in blogging, but we had a total disaster in the Nesmith household....our harddrive fried. The good news was we were under warranty, so they repaired it for free. The bad news was we lost everything. Thank goodness for the blog otherwise I would have lost every picture for good! I really need to be better with backing everything up to CDs. Anyway, we are in full festivities here! This is my favorite time of year but is also one of the busiest! We started out with our first tailgate at Walker for the football game. The preschool teachers served ice cream to the little ones and then it was off to watch the game.

Jackson was so excited to see his teacher Mrs. Reddick!

Jackson and Nathaniel enjoying their ice cream! That night Jackson actually had his first sleepover! Nathaniel stayed the night with us and they did great! I think they were all worn out from running around at the football game because as soon as we got home, we took baths and they went straight to bed. They didn't make a peep!

Here are Jackson, Thomas, and Nathaniel watching the football players take the field!

Discussing some football strategy :)

The boys getting ready to watch the game. Go Wolverines!

 Jackson found his buddy Colin. They have an open grassy area next to the football field and the kids just ran and ran. They had so much fun!

 The next day we were up bright and early for the pumpkin patch! We went to Bert's again this year, which is about an hour drive, but so worth it. The pumpkins are huge!

 Beckett pointing to the big pumpkins. He just kept walking around all of them and touching them. It was really cute!

 We let Jackson pick out all the pumpkins again this year and he made some great choices! He chose all different shapes and colors.

Beckett loved looking at all the little scarecrows

One of the better parts of this pumpkin patch is the hayride. There was a very long line, so as daddy waited patiently for us, we found other ways to entertain ourselves. First stop, tractor ride!

Beckett had to get in on the action as well!

We finally had our turn on the hay ride! Familly shot time!!

Beckett wasn't quite so sure about the hayride. He just sat very still on daddy's lap.

Jackson loved it! He loved looking at all the pumpkins and fields of sunflowers.

My 3 beautiful boys :)

After the hayride, it was time to get the wagon to pick out our big pumpkin!

Jackson picked out 2 little pumpkins for Beckett. Beckett, of course, tried to eat them.

This is the one!

It got pretty hot so we decided to cool off for a bit with a slushy! Beckett was a fan!!

Did we go overboard this year?

The next day we headed to Athens for the Georgia game! We were so lucky to be invited by friends that have their own private box! Talk about first class!! We left Beckett at home because we thought the long day would be too much for him and headed to the game! Our friends picked us up in their huge van that had the biggest tv screen I have ever seen in a car. The kids watched tv and movies, and the adults chatted.  Perfect!!

Jackson and his buddy Christopher in the private box. Once we go to  the box, there was food and drinks waiting for us. It was a great experience. Unfortunatley, Georgia lost, but kids and adults had a great time. Since we were in our own box, if the kids got tired of watching the game, they could run aournd and not disturb anyone. It was great!

Buddies....these two really are sweet friends :)
