Texas State Fair and The Lion King

 We took Callie and Preston out early from school and met Taylor's sisters out at the Texas State Fair.  It was really crowded that night and some interesting people walking around.

 Callie really enjoyed the pig races and Ostrich races.

 

1,000 pound pig!

 Our pig won!  #4

 The ostrich race was so funny to watch the jockeys jump on.  They can be mean animals.

 The new Big Tex since he burned down last year.  Callie took this one for us.

 I love this exhibit offered every year at the fair.  It is so cute and fun for the kids and helps them understand how we get our food.

 Getting her apron on.

 Watering the peach tree.

 Feeding a pretend friend.

 Kendra and Paige are good buds!

 Prize steer at the fair.  Most Beautiful cow if I've ever seen one.

 She looks tiny next to this tire!

 Chase was out of town so he couldn't use his Lion King tickets.  Taylor and Callie went to eat at the fair and walked around.

 She loved the play!

Soccer and Baseball- Fall 2013

 Every week we weren't sure how to dress for the games.  One week it was pouring, the next we were freezing, and then we were so hot we thought we might pass out, and back to freezing.  The kids really enjoyed Soccer and Baseball this fall.

 Callie scored the winning goal in the last 2 minutes of the game.  I was jumping up and down screaming for joy!  We were so proud of her.  Her team's name was the Sharks!

 Preston got better at batting without the T.  He played with his friend Tyson Schwanenberg.  There team's name was the Mets.

 Preston and Paige kicking the ball around while Callie played.

 Chase and Meme got to come to Callie's last double header game.  They won this game but got slaughtered 7 to nothing the last game.  The team was undefeated and were brutal!

 Callie's team won 6 games and lost 2.  Not to bad.

BNSF family day

 Callie and I did this jumping activity last year.  Preston is very cautious and didn't want to do it.

 Preston really liked moving the crane.  Look at that smile!

 This year they had a zip line.  Callie was thrilled.  I wish I could have done it with her.

 Paige eating her melting ice cream trying not to get it on her clothes.

 There she goes!

 It was really hot and we had to eat our Dairy Queen Dilly bar super fast.  Most of it ended up on the grass.

 Each year they have a craft for the kids.  They didn't want to leave.  It was a Railroad frame you could color.
