Carolyn's Country Cousins Pumpkin Patch '09

The Punkin Crew

My loverly momma, auntie-poo and me

Jess and Kylie

We went to our favorite pumpkin patch again this year---Carolyn's Country Cousins Pumpkin Patch. It is an awesome place in Liberty Missouri and if you have the chance you should go. These pics don't do any justice for all the activities they have for the fam. Thanks to all who went, it was so much fun. Although next year we have to plan better and not have so much estrogen going with just one man...LOL. Poor Dan, all the other boys were working or out of town, next year honey! :)

Happy 62nd Birthday Momma Jackson!

Look at all those candles! hee hee

Trying to blow them out...

Realizing they are trick candles...

The aftermath of 62 trick candles and not realizing it until it's too late...LOL

Today is Momma Jackson's 62nd Birthday! We celebrated yesterday at Mark Twain Lake in all the rain. Dan and I drove into town, got a cake and candles and surprised her, and everyone else with our candles... Yeah, make sure you read all the fine print on candle packaging! We didn't realize they were trick candles. So, we bring in the cake, Mom starts to blow and they keep re-lighting. Let the panicking begin! LOL. Her cake was a chocolate cake with twix pieces all sprinkled on the top with caramel and chocolate drizzled all over. Yeah, not after the candles, we couldn't get them out in time and you can see the aftermath, lotta wax and burnt twix! LOL After further inspecting the candle packaging, it said in SUPER TINY print, real fun candles relight. Thanks guys!! We probably would not have put all 62 candles on there if we would have realized that! Oh, and by the way, we just scraped all the nasties off and ate the cake anyway! Happy Birthday Momma Jackson! We love you! xoxo

Mark Twain Lake Camping Trip 09

A little bit of fishing...

The camping crew

A little bit of bike riding...

A lot of gorgeous scenery...

A little bit of Hillbilly golf...

A lot of relaxing...

Some sling shot fun...

A lot of good eats..

and a lot of RAIN! We just got back from our Mark Twain Lake Camping trip! Unfortunately it wasn't the best weather, too much rain. But still a lot of fun. This year we went with mom and dad Jackson and Marv and Joyce (mom and dad jackson's friends) and George! It was a lot of fun having so many of us. Lots of campers leads to way too much food and way too many drinks! We had to leave a half day early due to the rain. It would just not stop on Thursday and tent camping is just no fun with all of that rain. So, we didn't get to do as much outdoor stuff as we would have liked but I will take sitting in the rain in beautiful scenery over working and school any day! Hopefully when we go next year we will luck out better with the weather. Thanks everyone for such a great trip!

Alldredge Orchard

The Orchard Pickers

The horses were oh so friendly

Today we went to an Orchard in Platte that I just found online not too long ago and it's only 4 miles from our house! We went to Vaughn's last year and I wanted a little something more, and I found this place. And we got more! I LOVE this orchard. So many photo ops it is sooo pretty. Gotta love the tripod. Oh and yeah our imaginations helped too. You can't tell this family has those can you? I hope the owners didn't mind us grabbing our instruments for the jamming session, we just grabbed what was laying around the barn!! Oh and we might have gotten carried away with the weeds hanging out of our mouths! I never thought I would hear my mom say "Kylie, put your weed in your mouth!!" lol It was so much fun taking all the family pics, next year we need Jessica (she had to work :( ) and Momma and Papa Jackson! They also had the tastiest cookies and apple cake...YUM! We will be back soon!

The Berry Patch

09.01.09

Today we went to the Berry Patch in Cleveland Missouri. This place was so cute and so fun! They grow and sell TONS of types of berries. Unfortunately I didn't stumble upon this place until the other day and we missed every season of berries except black berries! So, today we picked black berries and I am going to make two scrumptious recipes with them! I am sure you will see pics of those later! To find out more about this cute little place go to theberrypatchonline.com You will love it!

Check out Dan's face, he totally didn't know I was snapping a few and was so excited when he found a ripe berry, we were like little kids! It still cracks me up to see pics of me and Dan together, he is not tall to me anymore, I am use to it. When we first started dating he was soooo tall, but since I am use to it I don't notice it until I see pictures of us, this one cracks me up!

I am alive.....barely...

Wow, it's been over a month since I have posted on here!!! Facebook is partly to blame, and so is my new schedule! My wonderful peeps at Washburn decided to double our course load from here on out until we graduate! I think they could have spread our classes out a little more even with the first year but hey, who am I...just a student! So, the top picture is what you can get for $543 at Washburn...lol...wish I could have bought $543 worth of clothes, I need it! That top picture is also what I will be spending most of my time with this fall. It's crazy how our course load has doubled and I might add, with the hardest classes! whooo hooo. At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I am done August 6th, 2010....not that I am counting or anything!

Oh and I had to put a pic up of our little friend, we have a ton of them at night on our patio and they are sooo tiny, just a little bit bigger than your thumbnail! Soooo cute. Hope everyone is well and I will try to be better about posting next time!

I am not dead!!!

LOL, still here, just super busy, will be doing another post tomorrow or sunday, we are still alive! :)
