We had a big family celebration together complete with dinner and entertainment performed by their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. While watching a slide show of pictures throughout their lives it was evident that the song is right, "Everyone of us is here - all because two people fell in love. " What a great example they are to us of love and commitment. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to learn from their example. Congratulations!

60 Years Together
On October 29th we celebrated my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. The car they are standing by is the same model they drove away in after they were married. We had a big family celebration together complete with dinner and entertainment performed by their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. While watching a slide show of pictures throughout their lives it was evident that the song is right, "Everyone of us is here - all because two people fell in love. " What a great example they are to us of love and commitment. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to learn from their example. Congratulations!

Kinzie Turns 2
In October, Kinzie turned 2!! She loves Minnie Mouse so we had a "Minnie Mouse Clubhouse" party complete with ears. She had fun as she realized the party was for her. As my birthday was about a month before hers she learned to sing Happy Birthday as "Happy Mommy". So she would say "Kinnee's (Kinzie) Happy Mommy". She got some fun new toys and enjoyed her pink cake!! Thanks to all of our family who helped us celebrate!
Very proud it's her birthday

Pumpkin Patch Fun
A couple of weeks ago, we took the kids to a pumpkin patch. The kids had a lot of fun walking through the maze, taking the hay ride and petting animals. Kinzie took a pony ride but Colton didn't want to (perhaps the sheep ride a few weeks ago still has him uncertain). At the end they each got to pick out a pumpkin. We enjoyed the beautiful day together and topped it off by going home to watch OU beat Texas - Go Sooners!!

8 Second Ride
A couple of weeks ago, Colton participated in a rodeo. He did the "mutton bustin'" (riding a sheep). He did great - our little rodeo star! Yes, He Won!! Pretty good for a kid who hasn't ever been around sheep or rodeos! I have uploaded the video of his ride. It does not include the footage of him trying to run away from his dad before they put him in the chute. He was scared and holding on for dear life! Enjoy the ride...
yes, he is hitting his head on the fencing at the end....
afterward he kept saying "Dad, I don't ever want to do that again"
He won this trophy and halter(we don't even own a horse)
Au Revoir
A few weeks ago we bid "Au Revoir" to Jason's brother, Justin, and his family. They are in France while he is studying in an International Business program there to receive his MBA. We sent them off with a French farewell complete with Berets, moustaches and french cuisine. We will miss you, Justin, Megan, Avyn and Dawson. Have fun - we'll look forward to a visit next year!

1st Day of School
The picture on the left was taken 4 1/2 years ago when I was bringing my sweet baby boy home from the hospital. The picture on the right was taken today -
he and I together on his first day of Pre-K.
I can't believe how fast the time goes - but here we are entering his school years. He is so excited and had a lot of fun on his first day. He drew a picture of his hand, read books and ate snacks. He also said he glued but that was all the information I got.
Some Moms stayed for the book reading - The Kissing Hand - and at the end we placed a heart sticker in their hand and kissed it to tell them good-bye. I had tears in my eyes but managed to kiss him and leave without crying. I did, however, cry while making the traditional 1st day of school cookies - a tradition my Mom began with us that I intend to follow with my kids.
Here are a few more pictures of Colton on his first day of school.
Ready for Pre-K
Kinzie wanted to go with him she kept saying "too,too"
