School carnival

We went to Callie and Preston's school carnival on November 10.  They had games, prizes, food to eat, bounce houses, and a fun little train ride. 

 

 Paige made a toss into the toilet bowl. 

 One of Callie's classmates put her into jail.  She wanted us to pay to get her out but we just let her stay for the full 5 minutes.  She wasn't very happy.

 Preston and Paige loved the train ride.  Callie I think is starting to feel a little old to ride.

Afterwards we stayed and played on the playground.

 Making Pumpkin sugar cookies with Callie's friend, Ella. 

 The night of our church, trunk or treat party.  My brave fireman.

 This year I attempted and made Callie's costume.  She wanted to be a bat. I made the ears and cape and it turned really cute.  Quite proud of myself with the thanks to my friend Reina for helping me.   
 My sweet Paigey!  She loves Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse.  She says she wants to be Minnie again next year.  That would make 3 years in a row. 

 The night of Halloween.  Preston wasn't feeling good and he was inside. 

 We brought the wagon for Preston.  He had a sore throat and a little fever.  Poor Preston. 

 We went trick or treating with Preston's friend Tyson and Chloe.  Chloe and Paige both dressed up as Minnie.  One pink and one red. 

 Her bag was getting heavy.  She wouldn't let me empty it into the wagon for fear of loosing any candy.

Texas State Fair

Taylor and I picked up the kids early from school on Friday afternoon and headed to Dallas to the Texas State Fair.  It was the last weekend to go.  We ate yummy Fletcher corn dogs, nachos, cotton candy, ice cream but no fried s'mores, or fried cheesecake.  Wish I could have tried them. 

 

 We visited Betsy the cow for Bordon Milk products.  The prettiest cow you've ever seen.

 We went to a doberman dog show.  They did lots of tricks.  It was cute.  Callie loved it. 

 We visited all the animals.  Baby zebras.

 They were so mean and boy do they bite.  I saw it in action.  He about took this kids hand off. 

 Taylor being brave.  That's his hand.

 The kids loved this place.  They provide aprains and baskets and you get to plant seeds, feed sheep, milk cows, and water pretend trees. 

 Callie milking a pretend cow.  There was also a simiulation to see what it actually feels like for the cow to be milked. 

 Callie being a dork! I think she felt to old.

 This is real!  Crazy how it looks.  Taylor says there is a mirror somewhere to make this illusion. 

 Waiting for Kelly Pickler

 When she walked out I was like, "who is that!"  She shaved her head for her friend who has cancer.  She still looked great.  We only stayed for 3 songs.  The kids were exhausted.

Our first visitors to our new home!

My sister, Britney, 2 of her 3 kids, and my mom came to visit on conference weekend.  It was great they could come even just for a few days. 

 

 We happened to have our hair done the same way.  We went to the grocery store and we lots of stares and questions about us being twins.  Like when we were young. 

 We enjoyed some mother/daughter shopping and a fun little ride for the kids.

 Britney's baby, Dallin is 11 months old.  He is the cutest thing ever.  Callie was a great babysitter.  We couldn't stop kissing him. 

 Cousins playing at the park.  It was a perfect, fall, crisp day. 

 Sydney and Paige having fun in the bath.  They are 8 months apart but Syndey looks like she's 4 and Paige 2 not almost 3. 

Even Preston wanted a play mate in the tub.  He just wanted a boy, he didn't care how old.

 At home depot every 1st Saturday of the month they have a kid craft available.  They made fire trucks and painted them.  Paige picked purple.

 Dallin and me hanging out.

 All the cousins early in the morning.

We all went to Callie and Preston's soccer games.  We froze to death.  Of course I forgot Paige's coat. 

Pumpkin Patch

I met my sister-in-law at the Flowermound Pumpkin patch on a Tuesday a couple weeks ago.  We went on a hay ride and took pictures with fun characters.  It actually cooled down a lot and we wore sweaters. 

 

 Jumping on a cute pumpkin bounce house.
