Happy Fall

Fall has fell.....oh at least for today. The leaves are starting to show their beautiful colors.
Jacob played football at the beginning of this year. When the JV quarterback was injured Jacob got the opportunity to be quarterback. Due to an injury to his knee, which turned out to be a bad bruise and did not require anything other than rest. He has chosen to not finish the football season as he wants to stay healthy for wrestling (sport of choice!) He is going to participate in a national wrestling tournament in Des Moines later this month. There will be kids from all over the US. School wrestling will be starting before we know it. His goal is to go to state again this year. (I am thinking I am making reservations a whole lot earlier this year!!)
Adam will be starting basketball in a couple of weeks also. He is my social one (ok they all have been but he is really social!) He goes to lots of games and seems to meet new people or visit with others from the other teams all the time. Yes alot of them are girls! He was elected to be in student council this year and helped with homecoming last weekend.
Ah yes, Homecoming, make sure you check out the slideshow for the pictures! My kids would have made pretty girls.
Tyler has started his regular schedule at the prison, he works the 3-11 shift. He seems to like it pretty well. Julie is in RN school and has started her clinicals. She does this 2 - 12 hour shifts a month. Ruby has really grown and doesn't look or act like a baby at all. She is 21 months this month.
Dustin is still working at the KS Sheriff's office as a deputy. He will change which days he has off this month. I think he and Tyler will have the same days so maybe they will be home all together some time. Mandy is substituting at school and they are still waiting to get their house sold so they can move closer to Dustin's job. Abbie is quite the talker. She is very entertaining. She is 17 months this month.
Both of the girls love baby dolls, books and cooking with all of Grammy's pots and pans all over the floor. Grandpa got them to drumming on the bottom of the pans last time they were all together. They are also really good dancers! Yes I may be biased about them both!
The girls and I went to my good friends and photographers Bret and Lisa Smith for some "Grammy and Girls" pictures a couple of weeks ago. It was lots of fun and I was wore out, I am sure that it is easier to take pictures than to pose with two 1 1/2 year olds! ha ha You can see the pictures at smithspicturethis.com, then go to online galleries, then to the drop down box and click on Kim King then enter the gallery and the password is King (case sensitive). They did a great job getting some pictures of us difficult people ha ha (the girls were very busy and grammy just isn't photogentic)
The last Sunday of Sept. the Jennings reuion was held. Even though not everyone was able to attend we had lots of good food and the fellowship was such a blessing.
The next few months are busy with birthdays. Sept was Grma Jennings, Owan, Aunt Joyce, Molly, I think that is it.
October is also a busy month. Cole and Clay will be 17 and Ken will be having a birthday, along with Grma Rinehart, Julie. Not sure if I've missed anyone or not there.
Happy Fall You all...............
