Thanksgiving

Jeremy and Lucas discovered that there was even more family that they hadn't met yet when we had Thanksgiving dinner last Saturday at my aunt's house.  They were hesitant at first but soon found the toys and the X box and a bunch of kids to play with and were very sad when it was time to leave.  

Ian was his usual flirt!

Creek Exploration

After looking at the extended forecast, we decided to take advantage of what could possibly be the last nice day before winter sets in and go exploring.  The creek behind our house winds through nearby fields and woods and thankfully, there are paths through most of it that the golf cart can manage.  We found an awesome, old stone bridge and lots of hedge apples.  It must have been a good year for the osage orange fruit.

Good bye Fall......

Randomness....

I did 6 posts all at once and it took 3 days to download the pictures so although they came up on the blog in the exact opposite order than I had planned, I'm not inclined to change them tonight. 

Keep reading to see what these Humphreys have been up to. 

Random photos that haven't made it into other posts.....

I love this picture of Brenna!

Crazy Lucas

 Not sure if Jeremy is choking Drew or what....

Olivia talking to her doggies....or taunting them

Funny face

Leaves

And, before the snow starts falling, I just had to post some pictures of the beautiful fall we had around here.  I am so blessed to see these gorgeous views from every window of our house and always think I can capture them with my camera, but it's just not possible.....at least not for me!

Grandparents Day

Jeremy and Lucas had Grandparents Day at their school on Nov. 11 and were blessed to have both sets of grandparents attend the program, visit their rooms and meet their teachers.  Mom-mom and Dad-dad traveled from KY for the weekend (and won the award for the grandparents who traveled the farthest) and Mimi and Pa came from Danville for the day.  We are so very thankful for God's gift of family and especially, ours!!!  Even though their first batch of grandkids is much older, our parents are so willing to do it all again for Ian and Jeremy and Lucas and don't even mind that they frequently mix their names up.  Thank you, Mom-mom and Dad-dad and Mimi and Pa!  We love you!

Bowling

We still had one day of fall break left after the wedding trip so we spent most of the day at the social security office getting the paperwork done to change the boys' cards.  Not fun.  However, we ended up with enough time to go to Target to spend some gift cards that were burning holes in their pockets and then, out for pizza and one game of bowling.  Jeremy and Lucas don't think they've ever bowled but they did a pretty good job and of course, Ian always loves a chance to bowl!

Lucas is a fierce competitor!

Jeremy is a leftie and learned quickly

Looks like a pro!

Ian actually won the game.....of course he has a little advantage.  :-)

Strike!!!!!!!

Fun day, despite the trip to the SS office.

Nashville

The last weekend in October was the boys' fall break and also happened to be our niece's wedding in Nashville, TN.  Tom took time off too and we headed south, got a hotel with a pool and had a little getaway with all the kids.  Of course, I didn't get any pictures except for these in the pool, but we had a great time, got to see lots of family and loved being part of Kathryn and Cliff's special day.  (I wish I had pictures of Lucas and Ian dancing!)

Brenna is a fish!!!

Is he cute or what???

Throwing Lucas is a bit easier than throwing Ian.
