Fun day
We packed a lot into one family fun day: Shopping, Santa and picking out our Christmas trees! I love making these memories...
Jof
The boys love "Jof" our special elf from Santa! I admit our Jof isn't naughty and doesn't get in any trouble! He likes to play games of hide n seek!!! The boys jump up every morning to see who can spot him first!
Thanksgiving at school
I must say I thought Natalie had lost it when she told me they were doing a "Charlie Brown" Thanksgiving dinner at school! All I could think of was GERMS...but the kids loved it!!!
Big owies
Both of the boys got major owies within a week of each other!
Judson fell climbing over a gate and landed face first on our rock cattle chute! He is such a tough boy and didn't like the attention his face gave him. Everyone we saw wanted to know what happened and he didn't want to talk about it. Luckily he only needed a good clean up and lots of love!
Cole on the other hand was a bit more of a disaster. His teacher (my sister) called and needed me to get to town as soon as I could. Cole had fallen out of his desk chair and somehow managed to stab himself with non sharp scissors. Poor guy didn't even cry until his anxiety kicked in, as they were trying to explain to him the possible ways it would have to be fixed. Thank goodness we were a candidate for glue and it was an easy fix.
My poor boys don't get excited or too worked up when they hurt themselves. I blame myself for that. It is my "retired" nurse staus, I learned very fast when working that as long as I stay calm everyone does! A much needed trait when parenting boys...

Cole, Levi and PaPa (Levi's dad) helped construct a box car for Cole's boxcar derby at school! They had so much fun building and testing it! Cole and I had a blast decorating it! And best of all he WON, he was very excited!

20 Weeks
 |
| 20 Weeks |
Baby James the third is 1/2 way here, I can't believe how fast time seems to be going. We had our big sono this week and everything was perfect. This was such a relief to us after being sick for a month and having to have surgery. The baby was a few ounces BIGGER than should have been which was music to my ears...he or she weighed 12 ounces. I am always amazed at the details of a sonogram when the baby is so tiny. We are starting to gain back some of our weight that we lost while sick, so far up 3# of the 12 we lost. I can really start to see my belly growing which is always really exciting. I was concerned I wasn't feeling the baby as much as I had with the boys, but it seems that the placenta is anterior (in the front) so its muffling some of those kicks right now. The sonographer said she knew what baby was but we chose to not find out...20 or so more weeks until we know who will join our family...we know it will be perfect whether boy or girl.
Thank you for continuing to pray for the James' and Baby #3.

Halloween
These are our Super Hero's of Our world. They loved their costumes this year. We always trick or treat in what I like to call the "Johnson Caravan," that would include 4 Suv's filled with 12 kids and their appropriate adult supervisor. The kids always have a blast. We usually just stop at everyone's grandmas house and a few extra special friends and they have had enough. This year was extra special with it being on a Friday we all had pizza at the Day's house and had some cousin play time.
It's that time of year...
This is what I call our "crazy busy time of year," although I have come to realize that there isn't actually a time of year that isn't really busy around here. Farming is coming to an end with harvest ending today and fall cattle buying is in full force. Judson, Levi and I have been spending a lot of time processing cattle, we sure do miss our other great hand Cole while he is at school. Judson wants to name each and everyone, although half of them usually have the same name, and he needs to touch each one while they are in the shoot. His has a deep love for the cattle....
Fire truck Fun
Oh the perks of having your sister as your kinder teacher, Judson and I got to enjoy this fun day with Cole as well.
Really Reading
I am loving this stage of Cole learning how to read. He absolutely beams when he is doing it and is doing very well. He needs little to no instruction, thank you Leap Frog videos in the car and working some at home he knew all his letters and sounds before starting school. He has 59" I am Sam" books to read before he can check out a library book, last night he read number 32.

Pumpkin Patch Fun
We took full advantage of a long weekend that Cole had and spent Monday being lazy, having a late lunch and an afternoon at the pumpkin patch. The boys were thrilled with the 4wheeler and wagon. And momma was thrilled for some fall décor!!

Cole's 1st Antelope Hunt
This year Cole was VERY into antelope season and all the aspects of hunting. He wanted to shoot one as well, so his daddy let him, with a little assistance. It was the last day of the season and the weather was a little windy and rainy at times. We had a fun family day out scouting for the perfect one...
