Monday the kids had no school.  I offered to go play but they all insisted we work on their story book pumpkins.  Clifton spent the day playing football with friends while we crafted.






I think their pumpkins turned out SO cute!!!

Tuesday night we got to celebrate this babe!  I am so lucky to call her a friend and that she wants to hang with the old ladies.  


And Top Golf is always fun!

Family fun night we made our pumpkin heads.  Alex decided to make his a cat this year.







They always turn out great!  Another fun tradition.

Friday morning I got to head out for a camping trip with these ladies!  




We stopped at Hamilton Pool, sadly since rocks have been falling we couldn't in the cave, but it was still a good visit.  Then we got to hike to the river and explore.

Say lot of wildlife and trees.  I was very happy.  Then we got to our camp site.  Right on the river!

We couldn't have fires because of a burn ban so we roasted marshmallows over the camp stove.


The camp site was nice however the people around us never went bed...Literally played music all night and up all night.  Thank goodness for ear plugs but even that it was a rough night of sleep.  Camping in Texas is a little different than Washington. I am not sure that would fly with Washington campers.

Woke up and had some yummy breakfast.
Feed some animals... they walked right up to me like they knew I'd be the one that would feed them.

Found this cute little mouse that slept under our tent all night.


Explored our camp ground before heading out.

Then headed to do some tubing on the Comal River.





This was SO MUCH FUN and so nice that hardly anyone was there.  Perfect weather and great company.  I will have to bring my older kids back to do this.  I am not sure my younger would be patient.  The river was really slow although it was due to lack of rain and water this summer.

Such a fun trip and wonderful ladies made for an amazing weekend. 

 October has been an absolute crazy month.  I need to be better at keeping up with these posts.


This week one of our favorite people was coming to Fort Worth for work and he was kind enough to make time to stop by and spend the evening with us.


We are big fans of Jim and the whole family was happy to see him.

For YW this week we did a self defense class with the relief society.  It was a lot of fun!



And so needed for ever woman.

Thursday family night we made Haunted Houses.








They turned out cute.  Love these little traditions.

Friday was half day of school so we took advantage of the extra time and went to the state fair apparently everyone in Texas had the plan too.  It was a fun day but way too busy for me.  I am surprised we didn't lose a kid ;)










Sunday baked we made cute bats for dessert and halloween meat muffins for dinner.



Other fun from the week...
Stanley has a way with girls.  He often gets cute love letters home.  I love it and I love that he has such a big heart and loves easily.
Keep being a gentleman Stanley!
