Karson's 1st Thomas visit




October was a blast. The weather finally cooled of around the middle of the month. We have been enjoying the outdoors alot. I find myself not wanting to go inside after a day of working inside, plus I know there is house-work to be done. Tres and I had a great time at the Mom and Me camp out. We hiked in the woods most of the day, shot paint balls, BB-guns,and bows. I am pretty proud of myself for "roughing it". We set up the tent with no problem, but it was the coldest night of the month of October and I got NO sleep. Overall it was not bad and I actually look forward to the next one......next year. Bullard Elementary had a Fall Fest. The kids enjoyed hay rides, playing games and getting CANDY. This is Karson's favorite word now.
Next, came Thomas. Kirby was at Army so Nana and I loaded up the kids to go see Thomas the Train. We asked Karson if he wanted to go see Thomas and he said "no like it", but we went anyway and he had a great time. Finally, Halloween. Sister had been asking all month if it was time to trick or treat yet. Everyday she would get up and ask if she could wear her witch costume. We all had a good laugh and lots of CANDY. Thanks Pawpaw for carting us around the neighborhood! Well, I'm hoping to slow down in November, so don't worry if I don't post for awhile. Hope everyone had a great October!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Fall VestFest. I did not take my camera. We camped out and had a hayless hayride, with our wonderful family. Our next family get together is in Nov. I'll remember to take my camera this time and post more pictures.

Happy 7th Birthday Tres!

Boy, September just flew by. I can't believe Tres is 7. We celebrated his birthday by taking him to his favorite resturant...Shogun. Saturday was his party, at Chuck E Cheese. His cousins Stephen and Micheal, and two old friends from Tyler we have known since they all were babies, came to the party. Everyone had a blast!

I started my new job this month. Everything is going good. I miss my babies though! Karson has started potty training ALREADY! Things are changing so fast. Karis is still lonesome for her friends in South Carolina (so am I). She told me I had to go by her a friend to play with.

Kirby is busy teaching 10th graders, Applied Physics. He is in High School Football Heaven. He goes to watch Jarred play every other week in Howe and surrounding areas.

That's all I can think of for now. Here are a few more pictures. :)

Happy 20th Birthday Dusty!

It's great to be home!

It has been a whirl wind of non-stop fun and family since we arrived Aug 3rd. We truly miss our Carolina family. We were blessed by each one of them. The kids have learned how to get to Nana's (next door) all by themselves. We have started using the musical noise maker on the door to give us a warning someone is going out. We have swam, played golf and taken boat rides so many times I can't count. We live at Emerald Bay Golf Course. It is a great place. Our house sits right off the back 9 and driving range. The ducks come up to our back yard and eat bird seed 3 and 4 times a day. It is so peaceful here. Well, was until the LOUD Cotters came to town. This street will never be the same. Here are a few pictures.
