October 2012

All 4 girls (including Addy--she's the black by Faye) asleep in the top bunk.

 I went and picked my watermelons from my garden.  A vine wound it's way through a rose bush and I found this watermelon all deformed growing under there:

Halloween is a fun time in Lubbock.  An event that we always look forward to is (of course) our favorite place to go: The Heritage Halloween (at the Ranching Heritage Center).  Volunteers dress up in the correct time-era as a ranch house, where they pass out candy that was created in the same time period as the ranch (ie, the Barton House built in 1905 had volunteers passing out chocolate kisses, which were also created in 1905).  We also went there with our good friends, Keating (7), Emaline(1), and Tina (mom).

 The Pumpkin Trail is another much-anticipated Halloween event.  They had over 2,000 pumpkins carved.  B was working, but we took a friend with us (Keating).  The girls really wanted a photo of the UMC display of pumpkins:

 On one of our trips to Weatherford (dropping Daddy off so he could fly to interviews out of the Ft.Worth/Dallas Airport), Krystal saddled up Glory for my girlies.  They always amaze me with their abilities on a horse.  They got skills their momma don't have :)...

 Josh & Jill and clan came for part of one trip.  It's so fun to have cousins...

And we were lucky (or blessed) to be there when Aunt Krystal got her mission call: Everett, Washington!

 Another event taking place was the Texas State Fair.  We went on the "cheap" day, and rode the 210 foot ferris wheel.  Faye's scared of heights, too.  :)  It was a lot of fun, but we were tired at the end of the day!!:

Titan Soccer: I signed up my girlies for soccer this year through the homeschool league.  Faye and Daisy got to be on the same team, The Green Team.  Here they are warming up (or trying to get warm on this morning) for a game...

 And Lizzy lu-who was on the Blue Team (younger league):

 The end of season award ceremony and lunch.  This is Coach Lap bragging about his team.  He was a very good coach, and I think we just might be doing Spring Soccer...

 And here's Coach Michael bragging about this really cute team.  I love watching 4-year olds play soccer! :)

Faye, and her really good buddy, Makaela, just two houses down.  She is a fun girls with great parents.  Moving next summer will be really hard for this reason right here.  We have been very blessed to have such wonderful neighbors.
