Halloween 2011

I learned that you cannot carve pumpkins with goats around.
Why didn't I consider this? The goaty girls held no regard for this festive ritual.
I found it hilarious, the hubs and kids did not.

On Halloween night we were invited on a hayride. This was a legit Texas hayride.
We traveled all over Winnsboro aboard a trailer lined with bales of hay. We stopped at Sonic (Texas style) and ate grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries. We drove through back roads, passed hay fields, dairy farms and small grave yards. The moms prayed that no one fell off, the dads road in the truck telling high school glory stories and the kids inhaled their candy.

School Performance - Sophia

Awhile back (I forgot when), big sister had a school performance.  It was way early for a school play so the Gigi couldn't make it. But I was glad daddy could join the fun.
4th grade sang songs about self-responsibility.  It was so great I cried.

Twinzers

Can you believe this doll is only 9?



Nate Turned 8

Back in September our Buddy, Big Guy, Nathan, turned 8! We celebrated with a sloppy cake and a wonderful visit from Grandma & Grandpa (all the way from California).

Lots of nature walks and snuggling occured during this visit.
