Attemted fall pics

Peyton loves when I spike his hair. His hair has a mind of its own, so it is such a good thing that wild crazy hair styles are popular. his hair is getting a little long, but it is still cute.

Downtown Mount Airy, they have this great Fall/Halloween display, so I thought that after storytime at the library today, I would take the kids over to take their pictures. Well, I should have been clued in that it wouldn't work after the time at the library we had. Jackson, at 18 months loves to run and climb on chairs, tables, etc. I spent the entire hour chasing him around. I probably wouldn't bother going to the library for storytime, but Peyton absolutely LOVES it. The teacher does show-and-tell, and Peyton starts thinking about what he is going to bring days before we go. Anyways, after the exhausting storytime we walked over to the display, only a few blocks, and I got the kids set up. Well, Jackson wouldn't sit down, even for a few seconds. Even after I gave him some pringles to hold onto. After he almost made it into the street, I called it quits. Maybe I will try again with Craig.

This is the best picture I got. If only Peyton were looking. I may try photoshop.

Jackson running off.

I tried to put Jackson on this haybale and he wouldn't stay.

Peyton is much better!

Peyton is feeling much better and even wanted to go outside to play in the leaves! Yeah! He still has his croupy cough, and daily bad coughing spell that causes us to have to change our clothes, but much better.

I guess it is time to get out the leaf blower.

Today we went to Pilot Mountain, which is about 20 minutes from our house and halfway to Winston-Salem. I thought it would be nice to go and see all of the beautiful fall colors on the trees and to get some family pictures taken. When we got there, we realized that everyone else had the same idea. The weather was absolutely perfect, about 70 and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We were lucky that we got there when we did, because when we were on our way down, they actually were counting how many cars were coming down and letting the same amount of cars back up the mountain. There is very limited parking at the top.

These pictures are some of my favorite pictures that we took today.

Fall Pictures

On Saturday we went up to Galax, Virginia for a drive and to see all of the beautiful fall colors and we stopped at a National Park to take some pictures. We had a fun time playing on the swings, and just enjoying the beautiful weather that we had. Here are some of our favorite pictures.
