The day we left Grandpa and Grandma's house in West Virginia!!!  

Jaxson falling off his bed

Jaxson sound asleep just not on his bed.  It was in the middle of the night at grandpa and grandma's house in West Virginia and Seth and I heard a loud noise, we got up and sure enough, Jaxson had fell off his bed not only did he fall of the bed but he got so tangled up in the blankets I couldn't get him back on the bed.  He is just to cute for his own good.  

Thanksgiving Day

Everyone enjoying their Thanksgiving meal in Grandpa's and Grandma's basement.  It was nice and everyone and a very good time.  I think the Fruit of the Forest  Pie wast the all time favorite for my family thank you Uncle Anthony and Aunt Hailey for such a wonderful pie.  It was awesome.  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for a great Thanksgiving Dinner.  

Caroline and Kyson

Caroline and Kyson were best buddies.  They had been playing school all evening and finally decided  to watch a movie and that didn't last long they fell asleep very fast..  How cute can they get holding hand.  She had a ball getting to play with Kyson  for the week we just wish it would have been longer. 

Thanksgiving Week at Grandpa's and Grandma's

The morning we left to come back home and the kids weren't very happy about having to leave at all.   We had such a fun visit and our week went by way to fast.  The last picture is of the kids at a rest area on our way to West Virginia.   We had such a wonderful time Thanks to the best Grandparents ever for letting us come and stay with them for a week!!!

Working in the sugarcane patch

Jaxson is working so HARD!!   You can see in back of Jaxson the sugarcane is very tall.  Then we have the bath tub if the kids want take a bath, there is a spot on the side where you build your fire so the water stays  warm or hot.  Caroline was feeding the goats out of her hand and our puppy decided that she likes the goat pellets.  Jaxson, Nathan, Caroline and  Harrison take a break and enjoy some sugarcane.  Jaxson and Harrison love to chew on the cane sticks, they do it all the time.  They are getting excited to help make the syrup.    I was joking about the tub, it is the kettle that they make the syrup in.  Making cane syrup is a lot of work because you have to juice the sugarcane , they have this redneck thing build up  that will juice the sugarcane, once it is juiced then you cook it.  It take between 5 and 8 hours to do a batch of syrup and I think they said it would make about 8 gallons of syrup a batch. You have to stir the syrup the whole entire time as well.  No breaks or standing in making cane syrup.                                                                          

Harrison has the best job ever!!!  He gets to drive the little yard tractor around and wait (the blade has been removed), while Caroline and Jaxson pick up and load all the sugarcane it, then he has to go and unload and stack the sugarcane.  Seth is cutting the sugarcane with a cane knive that is about 28 inches long and 7 inches wide.  The kids actually had a ball working in the cane garden.  They love cane syrup and they get to help it around christmas time.
