Randolph AFB Airshow

Our halloween this year was on the 29th, which was when our ward was having their trunk or treat. That morning we went to the Airshow that they were having at Randolph AFB. It was such a beautiful day and the kids had so much fun getting to see all of the planes and going inside some of them.

Halloween Party with Friends

The monday before halloween we had a fun little family home evening/halloween party with some of our good friends the Allreds! We love hangning out with them. It was such a great party.

Baseball

Derrick decided to take the kids out and play some baseball. No the ball isn't correct but we thought a bigger ball would be easier for Avarie and she got the hang of it pretty quickly!

Hiking

A couple of weekends ago we went hiking around Castle Rock! It was a fun short little hike for the kids! They had a lot of fun!

Avarie & Reid

Here are some pictures of what the kids have been up to. I started a Pre-school with Avarie this week and these are some of the things she has learned and is doing pretty well with! She loves school and is constantly talking about it and wanting to have it every day.

Reid tickling Avarie.

He attacked her and got her to the ground and then started tickling her!

Avarie taking pictures of herself

Avarie kept talking about wanting a guitar so Derrick got his out of storage and she keeps trying to play it.

Reid wanted to put Derrick's shirt on. It was pretty cute!

Cory Visit

Cory, my brother, came to visit us the first week in August. It was great to have him here and the kids loved it! We went and did lots of fun activities. We Went to the zoo, sea world a couple of times, the Riverwalk and the Alamo. We also went to the Cave Without a Name. It was such a fun visit.
