Carving Pumpkins

Last night Kim and the girls carved the pumpkin. Anna Claire wanted circle eyes and a smiling mouth. When they were all done Gracie decided it was too scary for her.

Preschool Halloween Party

This morning Anna Claire was so excited to go fishing, give a pumpkin hair, and bowl with pumpkins at her preschool pumpkin patch party. They also had ring tossing, bobbing for apples, and coloring. They ended the party by picking out a little pumpkin from the pumkin patch. All the kids had a great time.

Playgroup Halloween Party

This morning the kids dressed up to party.
They painted pumpkins and played.
For those of you wondering, yes I let Anna Claire win the battle this morning and be Tinkerbell. She promised me on Friday she would be the Mexican Princess.

Day 7 & 8

We enjoyed one more day on the lake. We played horseshoes, rode the jet skis, took a ride on the party boat, and grilled fajitas. Kim got pretty good at playing horseshoes.

Saturday morning we went to the Mexican market and walked around a little while. That afternoon Terry and I hit the San Marcos outlets while the girls played at home.

Anna Claire and Ashley played so well all week. They were so excited to spend a week together, and both cried when it was time for us to leave.

Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock

Day 6

On Thursday the weather was a little cooler so we headed up to Fredericksburg to walk around downtown. We visited the shops and had lunch before we headed up to Enchanted Rock. We hiked to the top, including Anna Claire, she did a great job. It was so pretty.

Lake McQueeney

Day 4 and 5

We headed to Lake McQueeney, Texas. We stayed at our friends' relatives' lake house. It was wonderful. The weather was great for jet skiing, swimming, paddle-boating, bean bag tossing, and grilling out! What a relaxing couple of days.

Day 3

This morning Kim and Chris went to Canyon Lake, while the girls stayed home to play. Later that afternoon the big girls went shopping while the Daddies stayed home with all the little girls. That evening we went to our favorite resturaunt, Alamo Cafe!

San Antonio Vacation

Day 2
Sunday School and Pumpkin Patch

Sunday morning we caught up with our friends from Sunday school. After church, we went to the pumpkin patch in Medina, TX. We started off with lots of picture taking in the pumpkins. All the girls wore cute candy corn tee-shirts, thanks to Miss Terry! They were all adorable. We headed off to the concession stand for burgers, homeade apple ice cream, and caramel apples. Everything was delicious. The girls also painted pumpkins, petted ducklings, and climbed a tree! We ended the day with some great Texas BBQ!

San Antonio Vacation

Day 1


This morning we were on the plane at 6:00 am heading for San Antonio! We were all very excited. We arrived at 10:00 and the day was just beginning. The girls were so excited to see each other. They played and played. Kim went to the Texas/Missouri football game and had too much fun. We had a delicious Olive Garden dinner prepared at home by Terry. I think she cooked it better than Olive Garden, so I am going to have to get those recipes!

On the plane!

Gracie and Kaci

Ashley and Anna Claire

Sweet Sisters

This morning after breakfast I turned on Sesame Street for the girls. They crawled up on the couch and snuggled up. I had to grab my camera quick because you never know how long these moments may last.

Wednesday Night Entertainment

On Wednesday nights, Kim has been playing some music at City Beverage's Open Mike Night. Usually I am home with the girls, but this week we decided to get a babysitter so I could go listen. I had a great time catching up with Kim's co-workers. Kim played for about 20 minutes and did a great job! Maybe he will be ready for American Idol by next year! :)

RDU Observation Deck

This morning we had playgroup at the airport. They have a small park and runway along with the observation deck. We had a great time watching planes take off and land while eating a picnic lunch. The girls also took the scooter and push toy, and pretended to take off while running down the runway.
Playgroup Friends

Anna Claire is getting pretty good at taking pictures!
