Pumpkin Patch

It was the day before Halloween and we still did not have a pumpkin! On the way home from work, I passed by a small pumpkin patch at a church close to my house. After my mom brought Evie home, we loaded up the truck and went to the patch to find our pumpkin!

it's too heavy!

I Love My Family

During the month of October we had quite a few visitors come see my parents' new house in Texas! My dad's twin sister and her husband (Aunt Betty and Uncle Ronnie) came for a couple days, AND my mom's brother and his wife came too (Uncle Jim and Aunt Andrea)! Evie was very proud to meet her "family". Every time we were together she sang, "I love my family!" We gave them a taste of Texas with bar-b-que and the State Fair. Unfortunately, they did not get to see Big Tex, because he we went up in flames the day before.

Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch, Pilot Point

Finally, the weather was nice enough to visit Sharkarosa Ranch, featured on Dirty Jobs. From what we understand, the ranch rescues injured endangered animals, breeds them, raises them, and sells them to zoos. They open to the public on the weekend to help raise funds. We saw black bears, z-donks, zorses, horses, zebras, camels, lemurs, monkeys, parrots, antelope, and kangaroo! Evie was scared of the large animals that were roaming in fields. She was ok with the ones in cages.

First Day of Preschool

Evie started school at my school district's children of employees preschool! She absolutely loves it! In the morning she immediately runs away to go play, AND when I pick her up, I have to CHASE her to go home! What a blessing it is to know that she is having a blast at school!!!

Fair Ladies and Tough Mateys

We celebrated Evie's birthday with a princess and pirate pool party! In the middle of Texas summer, a pool party is a great option. We were so happy that Evie's cousin Luca, Aunt Charlie, and Grandma Deb could join the fun! It was great to have lots of family there this year!
