Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

Boy, we sure missed this place last year! We made a quick trip out on Thursday .. we had the Morse girls w/ us (Alix and Addison). The kids wanted to stay longer, but they were closing. They had a great time and as always a great place for pictures!

Is she really ready for this?!?

My baby is off to church camp ... for 2 nights... and it's 3 hours away!! When we got the info in the mail, we just threw it away.. we were like, she's to young for that and it's too far away.. she's NOT going! A few weeks later we hear of all her friends that are going .. and kept asking us if Rylee was going... then we found out that some good friends were chaperones...SO, we caved to peer pressure ... ha!! She was SO excited.. counting down the days . She is there right now, so I hope she's having fun and learning alot about Jesus!! :) Colby misses you Rylee! WE all do! Can't wait to see you tomorrow! :)

THANK YOU Pierce & Sophia!

Thank you SO much for getting us tickets to the STARS game. We had a BLAST! The Stars lost but it was still alot of fun. THere were 3 fights in the first 5 minutes! I really don't understand that, but it makes it exciting... (colby didn't really like it either)... It was a high scoring game, for Hockey ( 4 to 5).. so there was a lot of loud music and dancing... we had a great time .. thanks again! OH! and we saw Joe Cabutto there... too funny ... he was walking down the stairs, so Calvin texted him and said he had great seats .. he stood up and looked around and saw us ... it was pretty funny. Calvin knows someone EVERYWHERE we go... he even ran into someone in Albuquerque that he knew ... (can't take him anywhere)

Balloon fest was a BUST!

Thank you SO much to Larry and Monica for inviting us to your house for the Balloon Fiesta. We had a great time, even though we didn't get to see any balloons! :( Can't control the weather, can we?? If the winds are stronger than 10 mph... they don't allow the balloons to go up. The kids were pretty disappointed and didn't really understand why...maybe we'll try again next year. On the bright side, we all had a fabulous time at their house... this is it below... we have never been to Albuquerque before and didn't realize how 'mountainous' it was and beautiful!! It was great to see everyone !!

Austin REALLY enjoyed his Dunkin Donut ...

THese are carvings made from chainsaws ... pretty impressive! It was a chainsaw carving competition... not sure who won, but they were pretty cool.

Larry, Pierce, Calvin and ANthony .. guys day .. playing golf. Nice view, huh?!?

An evening with the STAHLS...

We were invited over for a tailgate party at their country club. Free food and drinks ... we'll be there!! HA! It was fun... here a few pics of our evening...

Look at Ruffles... his head is as big as ours!!

Rough-housing w/ Brenner... I don't think you will ever win. He got Calvin w/ a boot... as you see from the next picture... painful, but funny at the time... (I think he needed a stitch!!)

I don't know what Brenner was thinking... he's got his brother's underwear on his head, playing tug-of-war w/ the dog (Ruffles) ... as you can see, I think Ruffles won!

Happy Birthday

Well, we now have a teenager in the house... can you believe that Maggie is now 13? She is just now starting to show her age a little...she can't always make it up on the bed..misses sometimes and falls back down :( and she's getting a little boney...when you pet her, all you feel is her spine. Poor thing! We have some friends that are getting puppies, and ask us about Mags when she was little... I can't even remember ... I do remember her chewing up my kitchen table and my base boards... but that's about it. Happy Birthday Maggie ... we hope it's a healthy one!

HSM3

Yes, I think we are crazy... 5 moms took their daughters to see High School Musical 3 to a 12:01am show on Friday morning. They didn't have school the next day, so we thought it would be fun. They had a blast, after they got woke up. We didn't tell them what was going on, and then woke them up at 11p SURPRISE! and took them to the show. THe movie was a little corny, just like the other 2, but it was good. Rylee said, "thank you Mom for taking me to a midnight movie" ...she was very appreciative! Your welcome, Rylee. I hope you had a great time! :)
