Bill is 30!!

Yesterday my wonderful, fabulous husband turned 30!

We celebrated yesterday with grilled steaks and cake at his parents' home with them, Christa, Wes, Braylee and Zack.

Unfortunaltely, the one picture I thought I had of it is not to be found on my camera:( Hopefully one will turn up.

Last weekend, however, was his birthday trip to the official Sunday night football game of the Saints vs. the Colts.

Granted the game was a blow out, us long-time Saints fans remember clearly the not so distant past when we were on the receiving end of those blow outs.

Now, not only are we giving them, we are breaking total points and win margin records. Awesome.

Now for the pics...

Leighton's First Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Leighton and I met up with Jacque and AnnMarie at one of the local pumpkin patches.

This particular one sells pumpkins raised by a Navajo Indian tribe and a portion of the proceeds goes to support the church's missions.

The girls were so cute!

In the end we got 4 mini pumpkins and a sticker kit to decorate. That's tomorrow's project!

This weekend we attended what will probably be Leighton's last football game of the season. I'm pretty sure she's happy about this, as she doesn't like the noise.

This is how she spent Friday night's game:

I, on the other hand, thought it was a great game! The greyhounds did an awesome job, particularly Sage. He always plays with such heart and I'm so proud of him.



September, where did you go?

September has come and gone so quickly!

I can't believe it's October, but I'm so glad it is! Especially if these cool mornings keep up:)

So what have we been up to in September?

Well, Leighton is on a schedule - yay! -though she consistently tries to break it!

She as crawled, just a touch, but it was super-exciting!

She has been bringing herself to a sitting position from lying down. This is a very complicated process that involves getting into a downward facing dog-like position and then walking her feet around. It was become her go-to mode of transportation (roll over, walk feet around, sit down, reach forward and spread out, walk feet around, sit down, repeat).

yea!

Leighton went to her first highschool football game (she's been to two now, she only lasts about a quarter and a half, but we will take it!)

This is also the face she now makes when you try to take her picture with a flash....such a mess, my kid

Mackenzie turned SEVEN!! Happy birthday to you, Princess!!

PS, Leighton's bday parties will be smaller. And yes, I'm sticking to it.

October is just beginning and we are already so full of plans! Bill's birthday, just mailed off Lexi's birthday gift and Halloween - hopefully more time to post, too!

We have a check up Friday that includes vaccines (boo), say a prayer for Baby Girl, she didn't feel so great last time:(

AHS Playoff Game

Last night Bill and I headed to Northshore to watch Atascocita in their very first playoff game. It was a very exciting game with Atascocita winning in overtime. We met up with literally about half of our church friends. We stayed until about halfway through the 4th quarter, but (thanks to Pastor Nathan's Twitter updates) we kept up with the play-by-play action on the internet. This is a very exciting high school football season for the area! Two more big games on Saturday to see if all of the teams we follow will make to the second round. Congrats Eagles!!

Blurry camera phone picture, but it'll work:=)

Running out for the second half.
