Catching Up

Ever since I got my new camera it has been such a hard task for me to download pictures to my blog, meaning it taking 3 hours to download just only 1 picture...James and I got to looking and my picture size was too large for blogger.com...we changed a couple of the settings and it has gotten a bit faster but now all the pictures I've taken since Summer before we changed the setting I haven't been able to blog about including several Birthday Parties, Jaden's Day Golf Scramble, Our Vacation with the McIntire's, meeting a sweet girl by the name of Brynn for the first time, a couple of Baby Showers and the list continues...this post is the beginning of Catching Up from each of these great events because I do not want to ever forget about all these things happening and I so want them to be in my 2011 Blog Book...was very hard to pick the best pictures from each one because we never figured out how to downsize all the pictures before we changed my camera setting, there's so many good one's but it would take me forever to download them...so hope you enjoy the best pictures of the pictures Catching Up from the last 5 months...
James and I with the Coffman Team...they were the winners of our 1st Annual Jaden's Day

the Three of us...took over 400 hundred pictures, but had to pick just a short few because
of the picture size...until I can get it figured out, how to change the size I'll post more...


back in July our family from Texas (James Cousin, his wife and kids) came to Kentucky for a visit...we had such a great time together...we got to meet their newly adopted Daughter Brynn...she sure was super sweet!!!

our first time meeting her...look at that adorable face!!!

we met up with them in Bowling Green, KY at the most famous place on earth, the Corvette Museum, so my husband thinks...don't ya just love our group picture!!! One good looking group of people!!!

sweet little Barrett (aka Barry~Blake~Barrett)

Our time together with the McIntire's is never long enough...can't wait till our next vacation together with them


 
I promised these two kids all Summer long that I would take them somewhere and
do something together before school started...with us moving and trying to get all settled
and Jaden having Summer Pre-school, time got away from us...so long story short, I took them to Mr. Gatti's
the night beofre Shelby became a 4th Grader and Nate a 3rd Grader...shew cut it so close, but they were not gonna let me live that one down, had I not taken them...

So one summer night James took Jaden and I out in his little boat for a picnic...James knows how much I love sunsets, so we picked the perfect time, loaded up the boat and set out on the lake together...was an absolutely most beautiful sunset James and I have ever watched together...love this picture of Jaden and his Daddy

Jaden and I

he loved the boat

just the three of us...love the background...so thankful my camera has a setting on it that
gives a couple of seconds and takes the picture without someone having to take it!!!

Jaden loved the time when it came for all the bikes to start up...he loves the RUMBLE sound they make

us at Biker Sunday...we forgot to wear our leather and stuff...LOL

was such a blessing to see the number of Bikes and Bikers that came
 
this past summer has been so busy with trying to get all our outside work completed
Our Sidewalk Crew

Our New Nissan Murrano

we had been praying for months for a bigger car, considering all the therapy equipment we haul around for Jaden...it just wasn't all fitting into our little Mazda 6...the Lord allowed us to purchase this from a great 1 owner...we just wasn't ready for a Van yet...we love it and all the room it provides for us...

This now brings my blog up-to-date from Summer...thank goodness!!!!!
