Pumpkin Patch

Scrapbook Retreat

We had a fabulous time on the retreat. All the costumes were great. We were the Flinstones, I was Fred because they said I was the loudest and of course I couldn't argue with that one. I think My Yabba Dabba Do was pretty good and loud.  I worked on my pumpkins for the Grandparents Day Breakfast at school. I started my blog book finally, thanks to Cari for helping me get started.

The Rangers are going to the World Series! First time ever. It is so exciting for baseball fans. Go Rangers!

We watched the game and most eyes were glued to the TV. I will remember this time always and what a great group of girls to share in the celebration. We all know I love the Happy.

Fun, Campfire and Smores

After we saw the dinosaur tracks we headed back to camp. The kids rode scooters and four wheelers. They were all having so much fun. We then made hamburgers on the grill and after dinner we made smores and then sat around the campfire and just talked and told stories. The weather was cool and perfect for camping. The kids were exhausted. Presley came up to me and told me she was ready to go to bed. I walked them both back to the tent and stayed long enough for them to fall asleep, which wasn't long. Nothing better than friends, fun and smores. I haven't camped in a long time and determined that camping still isn't so bad. I really enjoyed spending time with Gary and the girls. What a great life I have and am so blessed.

Dinosaur Valley

Here we are looking for Dinosaur tracks. All the kids were having such a good time. All it took was for one of them to get wet and then they were all wet. It was like a domino affect. It started out skipping rocks and then before we knew it they would fall one by one and some fell on purpose. They were having the time of their life. Once they were all wet we had them pose and then we told them to make a funny face. Check out the picture it is priceless. I love that Brooke and Presley were holding hands. They were both watching out for each other it was so sweet to witness the sisterly love. I couldn't stop taking pictures. Presley found some small shells and couldn't stop picking them up, her pockets were full. She is my little collector. We finally did find the dinosaur tracks after we had passed them, we had to back track to see them. Well worth the effort though. The kids were all so excited. It was a fun time in the river and it was really beautiful the scenery and our children and their excitement.

Fall Party

We had the girls Fall Party on Friday. It was a fun day. We played cake walk and danced to music. It was so much fun to watch them all try to figure out their number but even more precious to see their expression when they realized they won a prize. This age is so adorable. We made a pumpkin craft, ate pizza and had an owl graham cracker snack. They all had a great time. I stayed to watch the girls do show and tell. I always wondered how they did getting in front of everyone and they were so darn precious. I am the Room Mom for their class and feel so lucky to be able to expereince this special time with them.

Super Hero Birthday Party

We went to a Super Hero Birthday on Sunday, Clay and Josh turned 5. There was an obstacle course and everyone received capes, it was definitely fun to watch all the kids with their capes. Precious! The most exciting thing had to be when Spiderman showed up. I think every child's eyes popped out of their head. It was such a fun party. Presley loved wearing the cape, she even wore it to the doctors office the next day. Brooke on the other hand wore it long enough to get a picture and it came off. I thought it would have been the other way around but they always seem to surprise me just when I thought I had their little personalities figured out they switch. This must be what everyone tells you about having twins. I love every minute of it and wouldn't change my life for nothing. I love you Brooke and Presley with all my heart.
