We always try to go out to the Tulia pumpkin patch and pick us some pumpkins for the porch.  This year the crop was pretty skim picking but it was fun to watch the kids roam around the field trying to find that perfect pumpkin.  They had so much fun looking through the patch for that perfect one.

Bouncy house which Cody doesn't like yet.

We found a really big chair so climbed up there for a picture

We found a tractor unfortunately it is green not red

Coming down the slide, her favorite thing there

Cody discovered if he waited long enough the water would come out the end

We even found a spider

 Cow train

I have taken my kids to the Maxwell pumpkin patch for a couple of years now.  This year Cody actually had fun running around doing activities with Shaleigh.  Cody got to go through the rope maze, corn maze with us, ride the cow train, play with the water coming out of the duck races, and played in the corn.  I love to watch them run around and play freely, having a blast with each other. 

I couldn't have asked for better kids or for better grandparents who went with us and watched them run and play.  My kids are blessed with living next door to them.

It has been a great pleasure working with this bunch of kids this year.  I have so enjoyed seeing their faces light up with delight when they figured out how to get the ball to move down the field or scored a goal.  I love working with kids during soccer season.  Thanks everyone and thanks to God for allowing me to have this time with Shaleigh and her friends.

 

Homecoming

All thekids

Mr. Lucas

Shaleigh, Cody, and I attend most of the football games that are in town.  Homecoming is that much more special because that is when most of our previous alumina come to watch their old hometown team play.  Mom went with us this year and Kristie and the kids were suppose to come down but had car trouble and didn't get here until after the game.

We all enjoyed going to the game and visiting with old friends.  Glad we could get the kids pictures taken together.

Homecoming Bonfire

We all had a great time at the Homecoming bonfire.  I took Shaleigh, Sally, Lilly, and Bay.  We cheered along with the cheerleaders, and enjoyed watching the fire being lit.  I kept the kids in sight at all times so that I wouldn't have to worry about them getting to close to the fire.
