Happy Thanksgiving 2012

TopGolf

 The weather is absolutely gorgeous in Texas!  We have been spending our Thanksgiving break outdoors.  Today we decided to do something new...TopGolf.  We all played and it was a fun family outing.

 As most of you know our children are a little competitive!  And the big winner was........William!!!

The girls are ready for a rematch!  Eric too!  Lol

Tournaments

 The past two weekends we have enjoyed four tournaments with lots of softball and soccer games.  The weather has been nice but Sarah's team is ready for indoor soccer.

 

We were excited that Great Papa, Uncle John and Aunt Sandy came to watch a few of Elizabeth's games.  We tried to celebrate Elizabeth's birthday with everyone and finally accomplished it last night!  We won't be seeing much of Elizabeth in the coming months.  She is also running cross country and made the 7th grade "A" basketball team!  Way to Go, Elizabeth!

Thanksgiving Feast

 Our elementary school had a Thanksgiving Feast today.  We decided not to stand in line so I brought them a yummy turkey feast from Market Street.

 They were more excited about the dessert and soda!

Catherine loves going to school.  She had her backpack ready with everything in it but the kitchen sink!

Rock-n-Rollers

Sarah spent the afternoon roller skating with her church M&M (Mini-Methodist) group.  Then they spent the evening at choir and handbell practice getting ready for their Christmas program.  I can't believe she is already singing Christmas songs!

 Happy Halloween 2012

Our favorite teachers.

Pumpkins

 We spent the evening carving pumpkins.

 Ewwwwwwww

 Catherine was not interested in putting her hand inside the pumpkins!



Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday to Elizabeth!  Today she turned 13.  Our 1st teenager!  She picked out this yummy ice cream cake on her big day.

 Catherine was very excited!  She loves birthday parties.

 Elizabeth chose Olive Garden for dinner.  Above picture of everyone singing Happy Birthday.

We spent her birthday weekend in Houston at her 1st college exposure tournament.

Boo!

We got Boo'd tonight!  Some little goblins ding dong ditched all these goodies on our front door step!  The kids are super excited!

Cousin Armatha

It was wonderful to see Cousin Armatha and her sister this weekend.  They drove here from Indiana on their way to Arizona for the winter.  We enjoyed a nice German lunch with Great Papa.

Pumpkin Patch

Raptors Baseball Team

William's machine pitch baseball team.  He had another winning season thanks to his good looking coach (a.k.a. Daddy)!  Way to go, Raptors!

Field Day

 Yesterday, Sarah and William had a great time at their annual school Field Day.  Sarah was chosen based on her leadership abilities to carry the torch during the Opening Ceremonies.

William and one of his classmates.  They had so much fun playing the water games and were drenched from head to toe!  William could not believe the school day was over when it was time to go home.

Happy 96th Birthday!

 Happy 96th Birthday to Great Grandpa Green!

 We had family in California, Pennsylvania and Maryland on Face Time celebrating with us.  It would have made a great Apple commercial!

7 of 13 Great Grandkids.

Star Wars Reads Day

Grand Slam

William hit his 1st GRAND SLAM last night!  The Raptors got the victory over the Hooks 17-9!  Maybe the Texas Rangers need Big Will tonight to win the AL West!

Ready for Fall

 We enjoyed the rain this weekend and are loving the cooler temperatures.  The kids decorated the house and made yummy Halloween sugar cookies.

 Do you recognize her?

It's Elizabeth with new glasses and braces!$$$
