Fall Festival at Mama's School

Who needs this cane to do shuffle board? I can just slide it to a number with my fingers!

I love to get my nails done!  This time I chose blue sparkly nail polish!

I am getting pretty good at this game!

Pecan Festival 2012

 This past weekend, we made our annual trip out to the Pecan Festival in Colfax, LA with our good friends Kristi, Scott, Nathan, and Matt.  The kids loved catching candy at the parade, the adults enjoyed visiting, and Lilly just took all the excitement in, as this was her first festival.  It was hot, hot, hot, but we had a lot of fun.  We also enjoyed some great tasting bar-b-que from one of the vendors!  Oh and the praline covered pecans are extra yummy!

Halloween 2012

This year instead of going door to door trick or treating, we went to a trunk or treat at a nearby church as well as a fall festival.  Isabella and Lilly had a blast, Bella especially enjoying the playgorund at the church.  Brian carved the pumpkins and of course Bella grace did not want anything to do with the seeds.  Lilly couldn't stay away! 

Fall Fun

Aunt Suzie, Erika, Zanna, and Mimi came to visit us the weekend before Halloween.  We had lots of fun just watching all the precious children play and interact with each other!

We thought a picture of a cowgirl with her cows would be just adorable!  Sure enough the picture did not disappoint!

What Fun We Had

That's my girl!! I am so glad that she was not afraid to hold the snail! The snail was not the only wildlife we saw-we also saw several bucks, does, and fawns.  There was even a doe and two baby fawns that rested and spent the whole day in the yard at Gigi and Papa's house.  It was beautiful to see! We had such a wonderful time in New Mexico! We are so glad that we got to see Jackson and Bryson!  God sure has blessed us with handsome boys and beautiful girls!

Outside Fun

 We all enjoyed playing outside on the front porch, watching the deer walk by, blow bubbles, and dig in the dirt. in the first picture, Lilly loved watching and trying to pop the bubbles. Where's Bella? in the second picture-she fits exactly behind Bryson in the second picture, and Steph found a snail that all three cousins showed quite an interest in!  While we were there, temps were in the 80s during the day and in the uppers 50s to lower 60s at night.  Little to no humidity! Mama loved it!!!
