October in a Nutshell

I really have been bad about the blogging. I will try and get better at keeping this updated. But, seriously, now that my friend's have such beautiful babies to blog about, mine seems a bit boring, even to me :) I am so busy keeping caught up with other's blogs that I neglect this one :)

Jordyn came for another visit in late October. My church was hosting a Fall Festival and I wanted her to come and have some fun with us. Cailyn and Jordy spend the night with Jared and I, and we just had a blast together. We set up a mattress right in front of the T.V. so we could lay and watch Hannah Montana. Then on Saturday morning, J and I took the girls for breakfast at Shipleys before Jared and Jordyn went to Bass Pro Shops while Cailyn and I went and saw High School Musical 3. We met up later and all went to help the girls build Hannah Montana bears at Build-A-Bear. Yup, my husband is a trooper. The kids were wiped by the time the carnival began, but we all still had such a great time! :)

We have a costume contest at work every year, and yes, we used the same idea, except Michelle and I used the idea. She was the hunter and I was the dear. We got 2nd place, not too shabby. I love days like that at work.

Then there is the scary picture. Jared and I both participated in the Haunted House at the Fall Festival this year. I would crawl on the floor after the people as they were trying to flee. It was awesome! I think people were surprised of how scary I can be :) No funny comments on that one! :)

The last picture is at the Alamo. Amanda brought her boyfriend in for "Meet the Family." And for us, that is no oridinary thing. Because "Meet the Family" in La Vernia not only means the parents and siblings, it also means the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He took it well and even agreed to be in the family picture for christmas cards. Needless to say, I believe he might be the one. I can say that because neither Amanda nor he read this blog, and it is written all over their faces :) We are so excited for them and look forward to what may come.

I will do my best to keep up with the updates, and stay tuned because the next blog will be the most exciting yet. And it is not because I am announcing a pregnancy. Don't look for that blog until at least another year unless the Lord has a different plan for us :)

Hope you are all doing well!
