Happy Halloween 2016

We went trick or treating at Mrs. Blair's house.  She is Catherine's 1st grade teacher.  All four kids had her for 1st grade.  We have been trick or treating at her house since Elizabeth was in 1st grade ten years ago!

Time For Hoops

They both made the high school basketball team!  Elizabeth made the varsity and Sarah made the JV.

Happy Birthday To Elizabeth

 Elizabeth turned 17 this weekend!

 Happy 17th Birthday!

She was featured in our little community magazine this month.

State Fair of Texas

Fall Carnival

 Catherine and I had a great time at her school Fall Carnival.  With the boys at Sky Ranch and the girls doing Homecoming festivities, I got to spend a lot of time with my favorite six year old this weekend.

 Love her happy spirit.

Happiness is cotton candy at Walmart, getting Halloween/Pumpkins and watching It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Homecoming 2016

Sky Ranch

 Eric and William had a great weekend together at the 6th grade Confirmation Retreat with our church.

 The kids had several team bonding activities and lessons on redemption, worship and the sacraments.

 They also had a blast on the zip line.

 Paintball Warrior

 The weather was perfect for the water slides, pool and lake activities.

The result of a successful weekend.

Cross Country 2016

 Elizabeth's cross country season ended today.  She started this season strong.

 But then came the injury.

 She has been fighting hard to comeback and compete.

This morning was the district meet and her ankle was feeling good.  The top three teams advance to regionals.  The Knights got 4th place.  It has been a tough morning.

Hot Springs, AR

Eric and I had plans to go out to dinner after William's football game.  Instead he surprised me with a weekend getaway to Hot Springs, AR.  He even took off work yesterday.  Elizabeth and Sarah had secretly packed my bags.  We enjoyed the historic downtown area and the Autumn Bliss couples spa package at one of the bath houses.  It was amazing!
