Field Trip

Joshua's class had a field trip to the pumpkin patch in Celina, Texas. It was not a very good pumpkin patch. We have been to others in the area and this one stunk! When I think of pumpkin patches, I think of mounds and mounds and piles and piles of pumkins............not so with this one. It was more of an animal farm with a sprinkling of pumpkins and it wasn't easy to find! I didn't get great pictures with the kids in the pumpkins like I wanted to, but I think Kate and Joshua still had fun. (Click on pictures to enlarge)

Family Home Evening

For FHE tonight, we made some cookies and cupcakes and delivered them to families in our ward. It was a lot of fun. We rang the door bell and ran. Kate thought it was hilarious. I meant to take pictures, but forgot. (I am new at this blog thing and am trying to take more pictures to post) Here is the poem that we left with our goodies:

Here’s a treat, no trick attached.
It’s something sweet the pumpkin hatched.
You won’t go hungry or die of thirst.
You’ve got friends who put you first.

Halloween surprises can’t be beat,
Like chain-letter goodies for you to eat.
Now if you dare, give it a shot.
Can you give as good as you got?

Deliver a treat, a tasty snack.
Pick three families for you to attack.

We’re pretty darn sneaky,
We’ve never been seen.

We think you’re great,
Have a Happy Halloween!!

Report Cards

The first nine weeks of school is over and report cards were sent home. I am proud to report that Braeden got all A's and Joshua got all Excellents. Good job guys!!

Hook'em Horns

Cary took Braeden and Joshua to a Longhorns game a couple of weeks ago. They had so much fun! Braeden said it was the best day of his life. He plans on being the quarterback for them someday. Thanks to Uncle Mike for the football and book. Braeden can't keeps his hands off them. Go Horns!!

Kate's 3rd Birthday

Kate had a watermelon birthday party. She came up with the idea herself. (She loves watermelons) She invited two friends, Alicia and Adria. We had watermelon birthday cake and vanilla ice cream. YUM! We also made headbands, opened lots of presents, and played with all the new toys.
