Pumpkin patch

'Tis the season for Pumpkins.
We went on our Pickett family tradition to go pick some pumpkins.
We all go on a hay ride through the pumpkin patch. Grandma and Grandpa Pickett usually get each of the kids a pumpkin of their choice.

This year they added a little animal petting farm. Everyone enjoyed getting together and not to mention going for pizza afterwards.

Sara Evans Concert... SWEET!

I went to the Sara Evans concert on Friday with my girlfriends and family. It was at the outdoor amphitheater and was a really fun time. I loved sitting with friends and enjoying the music. Boy, can us girls dance and shake it!

Keaton is 5 years old!

It is hard to believe that Keaton is 5. We had a nice party/BBQ in the park with family on Sunday to celebrate and then on Wednesday we took him and a few of his friends to Chuck E. Cheese for games and lunch. Stay sweet Keaton, we love you so much! Thank you for all the big squeezes!

September 11 and "12th"

Usually I leave the bloggin up to Jill, but I just want to intervene here a moment.
Today is September 12th, 7 years ago on September 11th America was attacked.
On September 12th of that same year people acted a little differently than on the 11th. We were nicer to each other, more polite, we gave more hugs and kisses, we appreciated things more. Even if you didn't know someone you were still coming together as a nation.

Now as I look around and you hardly hear or see anything about 9/11 on the news, it amazes me how quickly people forget. We should never forget what occurred on 9/11 and what a tragic day that was.... but we also need to remember how we reacted on 9/12. If we could only be a nation pulling together.... what a difference it would be...
Thanks Jill for letting me post something.
Love, Brandon

Family Reunion

We went to Redfish lake for my family reunion over Labor day weekend and it was beautiful. It was good to see the lake and visit with family. My Mom and Dad, who never ever camp, even went up. They were awesome.
While there we played on the beach, rode bikes, went to the fish hatchery, went fishing, played card games, had s'mores by the camp fires, even sang silly camp fire songs. It was a really fun trip to get all the cousins together. We even had a little deer in our camp that didn't want to leave our camp area, I guess he wanted a s'more.
On the last day when we were leaving, we woke up to snow. What a shock! Snow on September 1st.
