I knew something was up when I heard nothing but silence in the family room!

Fire Captain Jack!

Jack had an entire entourage with him - being the only grandchild and all! The weather was perfect, the decorations were fun (however we were all so surprised with how little people did decorate this year and how few people actually had their lights on opening doors - economy we suppose), and Jack hit the nail on the head with the first house down to the last with "Trick-or Treat and Thank You!" Thanks to Carrie and Charlie for giving us the idea of practicing over the last few weeks! Grandma Sandy & Auntie Carolyn have better pictures - when I get those I will post a few more. Jack carried the same bag from last year - the one my Grandma Emma hand made me when I was a toddler.

Jack-o-Lantern time

Jack & his green pumpkin - He was determined to have his dad turn it into a jack-o-lantern! P did a fantastic job! He said it was like carving a zucchini :)

The kids and their jack-o-lanterns!

G's is on top, P's is the gigantic one (of course) and J's is the bottom right. A special acknowledgment goes out to Joes' princess Jack-o-lantern for his 3 year old daughter - his first pumpkin carving ever!

Grandpa John is 95!


The Guerrini's celebrated Grandpa John's 95th birthday on the 24th! He looked amazing for being 95 years young!

6 Year Anniversary Weekend! October 17th & 18th

We took Jack apple picking and to the vineyard that we got married at on the weekend of our anniversary!












Now there are vines growing right where our tables were under the oak trees. It was great to go back and they knew who we were the moment we walked in.




Jack helped Gina make his first apple pie with the apples we picked. And it was DEEEEElicious!

Bishop's Pumpkin Patch 2009

Bishops Pumpkin Patch 2007

We took Jack back to Bishop's Pumpkin Patch this year. Back to the middle of NO WHERE, but very worth it! It was so much more fun this year because Jack actually understood where we were going and what we were there to do!


train ride

roasted corn . . . a MUST

A hayride driven by a John Deer out to the pumpkin patch

67 acres of pumpkins on their vines! (that is Jack and Patrick)
Jack ended up picking three small pumpkins - a very dark green one, a green and orange one and a plain orange one. We are saying the 2 extra are for baby and Calvin. Of course P had to go to the farthest end of the patch to pick the biggest and heaviest pumpkin he could find! Me, I picked what I could carry (which was a site with the belly & the melting down 2 year old in the middle of acres of pumpkins and the heat pounding on our heads - let me tell you)! A reminder NOT to wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt to the middle of nowhere-farm-land next year!

This year they had a hay-bounce. We guessed there were old spring mattresses under all this hay - either way, or whatever it was, it was genius! The children - especially Mr. Jumpin' Jack LOVED it!!!!



This sow was big, happy, nursing, and loving the attention away from her many piglets - she was fun to watch!

We fed the goats - many of them babies - Jack thought the grains we were feeding them were rocks. The goats were mainly interested in the ice-cream cone the grains came it. This was a really fun experience!

Life as a mother. Period.
