Mike's parents were here the week of the 13th so we went to Texas Fair. A very rattley ride with mom and the girls. And.. Kayla and Mike went to see the "small" animals at the fair.
Can you imagine getting stuck on this huge, huge ferris wheel??? Not me!! No way, no way.

OCTOBER BLURRRRS BY!

How events happened this past weekend............. Stephanie and Kayla went to ODessa with the band to perform for state qualifications they left 10 am friday (due to no school ) and came back four am. Sunday...whooped. results... they came in first place out of 18 bands. In prelims...they came in 3rd with the final show ...FIRST!!! SO this will be our first state experience with the band since we have moved here and also because they go every other year. Reason..........way too many bands out here!!! What else happened that weekend? Gretchen had a velleyball tournament and their team came in second place. Yeah them!! Gretchen powered the bal across many times... the coach calls her the "element of surprise". YEh...baby. Then later Mike , Gretchen and I went to a friend's company picnic...beautiful 83 degree day. We had to go in the shade to cool off! Mike and Gretchen raced through blow-up race course and guess who won???? Gretchen. But, Mike did survived and we didn't have to give mouth to mouth!!! After that...
Gretchen went babysitting and we watched awful Michigan game. BOOOOO-hooooo.
BUT HEY!!!!! MY PHILLIES ARE WINNING!!!!!!! woop, woop, give me another one!!!! WHoop!!! Just in case you have no clue who I am talking about--- baseball.

Catch up Time!






Cannot believe October is here. what fun we have had trying to get school schedules correct, people in right math classes, and actual teaching teachers. Glad September is over due to that mess. In between school we have had volleyball practices and games, loads of dance classes, and competition dance practice,colorguard practice and football nights, band practice and drumline competition. And of course................ sleep!






Mike has been traveling between ananda and Missouri for pasdt few weeks and look forward to November when we hope he will be around more. With him gone Susan picks up her heels and works with preschoolers Tuesda and Thursday and tries to keep everyone's schedule straight and maybe help out with Algebra, Physics, English etc.. Get the pretty picture....... It is fun in an odd way. Try it........... maybe you'll like it too. LOL!
