Me and my 3 "lil" Men.

Thank goodness we are officially into the fall season!! I really don't have a "favorite" season....I LOVE having 4 different seasons....but fall holds a special place in my heart....the colors, football, the weather, the festivals, decorating, Halloween candy ;) Thanksgiving...oh any my birthday!! Oh so maybe I do have a favorite...and of course I will have another reason to love it too...coming in 12 more days!!! Oh my...I can't even think straight!!
Ok. So Jackson has started soccer again...we went back and forth about him playing this season because of everything going on....but he is playing and have a blast. By far the best season yet!! Last weekend we went to an Apple Festival, which I was super excited for. I had been sick the previous couple weeks and I was finally feeling better. We had a wonderful time...the entire 20 mins before the rain started and ruined it all!! But we did get some fried apple pies, fresh apple juice and the best apples to bring home!!
We have been desperatly trying to complete my "to-do" list and we are making progress...it is just extremely hard to paint or clean much with 2 busy guys...esp. on the weekends. But it looks like we just might finish it. ;) fingers-crossed!!
Here are some fun pics from a couple weeks ago and of the first soccer game.

I mean...look @ that face!!

Going for the ball.

Bennett meeting "Jesse James"

Yeehaw!!

Mr. "Fixit"

Loving on Kane-Dog! If you haven't been able to tell yet, Bennett is my fellow animal lover!!

Last week I took Jackson to a Big Sibling class @ the hospital where Carson will be born...in 26 days....AGH!! Anywho, I figured it would be fun for him since he was really too young for anything like that when Bennett was born. He listened really well and was the first to volunteer to be a helper! We got to take a little tour of the hospital which included a stop @ the nursery window! I think this was the best part for all the kids there. They were very intrigued.

Big brother practice!

And here is a picture of Bennett just so he wouldn't feel left out of this post. ;)

We are enjoying the cooler weather!

The boys started preschool on Aug. 31st. They go 1/2 a day and are both LOVING it! I was worried about Bennett since we have had "issues" in the past when dropping him off somewhere. But by the 2nd day he was running to his teacher and not looking back. I was a lil shocked but very proud of him!! Jackson, of course loves school and is so excited because he gets to check out books in the library this year!! His first selection was Chicka Chicka, 123!! He loves school and everything involving school and maybe his momma thinks he is a super smart student too!! ;)

Excited about their first day!!

We took took a trip to TN over Labor Day weekend. We stopped and stayed a night in Kingston and then went on to Cookeville for 2 nights. I got to spend an entire day with my best girlfriends. We ate, shopped,got pedicures and saw The Help. It was a wonderful and much needed day. To top all that off I got a surprise dinner and some wonderful gifts for baby Carson. I was very thankful for the day they had planned and really needed the girl time!! Our drive home took an extra long time and we were all greatful to get home safely. Traveling @ 35 weeks preggo is tough....for all involved ;)

My sister, mom and littlest nephew Turner. ;)

How could I not include a Go Vols pic?!?!? Thanks Poppi for the boys' jerseys!!
