Holloween 2011 {Better Late, Than Never!}

Yes, Holloween was over a week ago....

Yes I actually have lots of pictures and stories to write about...

But in my defense I've been a tad bit busy with "life" around here...LOL

Here's what we did on Halloween:
Our church has a "Fall Festival" every year in which there's BBQ cook-offs, bounce houses, horse rides, hay rides, and of course, a bull ride! It was a BLAST!

Josh wanted to be "A Knight in Shining Armor" (I think he's quite good at it, myself)

Jenna wanted to be a princess (how approriate since her brother looks after her and is always concerned with where she is to make sure she is safe)

 Julianna wanted to be a puppy (she LOVES puppies!)

Jayden was Tigger (which Joshie wore 4 years ago!)

We had sno cones and they were delicious!

And we had our picture taken on some hay bales....

Hope you celebrated the start of fall and harvest in a fun way!

Growing Up {Texas Style}

If you're in Texas there's two things you can be sure of.

1. You like meat. BBQ, Brisket, Steak, etc. There's so many steakhouses out here, it's funny!
2. You own a gun and know how to use it.

 

Many people know my husband and his affinity for firearms. We have decided it best to teach our children safety and proper use of these while they are young so that they are not "afraid" of them.

Josh has an airsoft gun that Jason goes outside with every once and a while with to teach him safety and proper handling. It's a little pistol with air propelled plastic bb's. They do not hurt if you are shot with it, but they are hard enough to shoot through a paper target. Josh has a LOT of fun practicing!

For a little guy, he does pretty good at shooting the target. He said he wants to be on "Top Shot" when he grows up. :)
