Sweet Baby Speaks

I'm in the house doing laundry before we head north again for the ... I think 3rd or 4th time this month. The boys are all outside with their daddy working on the garden, chickens, chores, etc. In walks Zane ...

Zane: "Candy"

Mama: "Zane doesn't need any candy."

Zane: "Zane candy"

Mama: "Zane hungry?"

Zane: "Aye"

Here's where I wonder if we have given birth to a pirate or an Irishman!?!

Mama: "You can have a graham cracker."

Zane: "Cracker, yeah!"

Our baby is so cute. He's finally using two word sentences!

Asa's First Report Card

Many of you may not know that Asa was promoted to Kindergarten mid-year. He brought home is first report card today and got all A's and S's. He was so cute showing it off, but not really understanding what it was. He only knew that his brother got lots of attention when he brought his home. :)

Wild Turkeys

We have so much fun looking out the window every morning to see the wildlife. On the morning of November 22nd, there were about 30 turkeys in the front yard.

New Building Dedication

Marble Falls is constructing a new church beside the current one. We had a big dedication after church on Sunday, November 9th. Granny was in town for church, catered lunch, and all the events.

All the kids lined up to "break ground" with their shovels. Grant is just right of center.

Zane playing after the pictures.

Daddy won a shovel! Dan Burdett (the builder for the church and our new home) told him he was going to need this. That is so true since he is always busting one here on the land. :)

Grant's School Carnival

Grant had so much fun at his school carnival on Saturday, November 8th. Granny came in town, he played games, won lots of prizes and even got to do some spin art.

Asa's School Halloween

Asa wouldn't wear his banana costume to school so he went as a farmer. He was very shy and sad that morning.

After the chapel service and pictures the kids loaded up on the trailers for a hay ride down to the park.

Round the corner at the square. He was wearing a smile by then!

Trunk or Treat

The boys had great time at church Wednesday night. Us grown-ups gringed at the children at worship that night in their costumes, but got over it when we saw their excitement. After service, we all positioned the cars in a circle so the kids could run freely in the parking lot. I was amazed at how much some of the adults really got into this. Come to find out since so many members live out in rural areas, this is the only trick-or-treating some kids do.

This truck had hidden candy in the bed of their truck full of hay.
