Will's Deer!

Will has shot three deer this year! He has become quite a hunter. He loves it so much.

First deer in Bertram

Second deer in Carrizo with Grandpa - Will did not want a party - he wanted to go hunting with Grandpa in Carrizo instead

Another shot of the beautiful second deer

Last deer of the season - a BEAUTY. Scored 156. We all think it is the largest that has been shot in Carrizo. Might win the contest at Los Cazadores. Will was beyond thrilled.

Trip to Fort Worth

Just before Thanksgiving, we made a trip to FW to see my wonderful TCU girls with our families. We had so much fun. The first night we met at Joe T Garcia's for Tex Mex. Then headed to a TCU game the following day. Instead of going to the game we opted to go see Grandmother and have lunch with her which I loved. I am so glad we did that. Then the girls met back up to tour the Chi Omega house (which is getting torn down soon for something bigger and better). And then we all went out to eat in downtown Fort Worth that night. It was so fun to see everyone!

Touring the TCU campus. Too bad it costs $50K to go there!

My girls. Love them so much

Lunch with Grandmother

Back with the girls at our old hangout - the Chi Omega house! We visited our old rooms and laughed our heads off

We've still got it! :-)

Second Annual Amazing Race

This is such a fun event that our church puts on every year. We paired up with Christy and Luke Schooler for a fast paced fun race through Northwest Austin. What a fun time! Next year Johnny-Cakes will come along too!

Christmas Card Pics

We met Erika on the UT campus right by the large Littlefield fountain. But then most of the shots were right around the Life Science Library. Such a neat location. Lots of interesting architecture there. On the way there is was pouring. I am so glad we were able to get these shots in before the rain started again.

Erika working her magic on a rainy day in November - a good picture of our family and each child every year is a priority for me. So glad Erika does this every year for our family.

PRECIOUS children

Gold! This is the one that we used for our card

Love - he got braces!

Beautiful

Didn't like this one as much - sort of awkward

My hair was looking less than perfect here - it had started to rain pretty hard at this point

Love these kiddos

My BOYS!

Will this kid ever ride a bike?

I'm posting this so we can laugh about it in years to come. This kid will NOT learn to ride a bike. Everyone has tried to teach him. Our last try was with patient Alivia - no success. As with everyone with this kiddo, he is on his own timing. There is no rushing him!

Halloween 2016

We mixed things up this year and had friends from ACS gather at our house. The invite was lead by Alivia who really wanted to trick or treat with her BFF's from school. So the Kinslows and Cragers came over on Halloween. 

Pumpkin carving!

Matthew was Marshall from Paw Patrol - he has LOVED this show for over a year now

Alivia and Lainie bough matching costumes - so cute

I think Halloween is fun in our 'hood - lots of kids come out

Zombie cheerleader and the precious Peachy Southern Belles

These two - sigh. . .They have a sweet friendship. Blair was also a member of the cast from Paw Patrol.

She walked alongside Matthew for most of the night!
