November 29th

We had a nice Thanksgiving in Tennessee. We drove...it wasn't that bad. We stopped in Stutgart, Arkansas otherwise known as duck country so we could visit the famous Mack Prairie Wing Store. Everyone in the town had on a piece of camo clothing including my husband. I felt like I was totally out of place. The item of clothing that got me the most was the woman wearing high heel camo shoes... I mean they had it all.

We made it safely to Tennessee. We had Thanksgiving with my dad, stepmom, brother, and Grandmother. It was a nice trip. We had up to the minute sports updates and watched alot of football. Wyatt had a good time on his Airplane Mickey that his granddaddy bought for him. It was his favorite toy. He was such a good sport in the truck on the way up and back. We are truly blessed.

This week has been tough on us. Chris isn't feeling very good. He is never sick and he has a fever. Hopefully, it's just a weather change thing for him and nothing too serious. Also, Chris' Grandma Saam isn't doing well and hospice care is with her now. Please pray for peace and that God will take her home as she is ready. We also have heavy hearts for our dear friends the McCords. You can read updates on her blog. Please pray for their family as they endure this difficult situation. Our faith is strong in the Lord that he has his arms wrapped around us all and will comfort, guide, and pull us through.

On another note, for those of you that don't live here in Texas. Believe it or not...the high tomorrow is 40 degrees! There is even a chance of snow!

It's been a few days and here is the update on what has been going on!

A 10 year reunion...

So, it has been 10 years since I graduated from high school. I went to the Poteet High Homecoming football game. I don't know who had more fun, Wyatt watching the game or me watching Wyatt enjoy the game. He just loves Football. I ran into a few people I knew, a few I knew but didn't care to run into, and then a few that I didn't even know went to high school with me but had on the t-shirt for the Class of 1996 reunion. In case you are wondering, no I didn't partake in the purchase of the t-shirt. One friend in particular came and sat by us during the football game with his wife. We caught up on who we knew was where and what people were doing. It was quite interesting to hear. I didn't go to the reunion because of the location. I just didn't feel it was appropriate nor were any of my close friends going. We decided to meet for dinner at a later date. So, girls you didn't miss much and the Pirates lost to West Mesquite.















Our Fall Festival was at church a couple of weeks ago. Wyatt enjoyed fishing and picking up the baseball. He wore his cute lion costume. Thanks to my mom for finding it for us! He was the cutest little lion.
The stars at night are big and bright...deep in the heart of Texas....
We went to the Texas state fair. I've been going since high school. It is so much fun. I guess because you get to see the new cars coming out, visit the Food & Fiber building (for those Ag lovers), and eat a corny dog. We are teaching Wyatt at an early age.

Halloween Night
This night was fun! We went with our buddy Jayda! Her mommy and my mommy are friends. I went to the houses and rang the doorbell. This was my favorite part. I tried to give people my candy but they kept putting candy in my bucket. I just couldn't figure this part out. We walked the neighborhood and rang each neighbors door bell that had a light on. It was fun until I got tired of walking. Daddy carried me on his shoulders. When we got home mommy let me pick out any piece of candy I wanted to eat. I chose a sour apple sucker. It was yucky. I tried to wipe my tongue off but it didn't help. There were some kids that rang our doorbell too. I enjoyed giving them candy as long as they didn't have on a scary costume. Mommy took lots of pictures. I am not sure about visiting other people's houses but I like giving out candy at my house.






Our fall party was last weekend for church. We had a great time at the Bill Bates Pumpkin Patch in Selina. Even though we drove an hour & 20 minutes it was worth the drive for the fun we had watching Wyatt feed the animals and climb in the trees.





The month of November brought great news for the Texas Rangers. Wyatt is already dreaming of next season with the new coach, Ron Washington. However, the month of November also brought sadness for the Republican party as we lost control of the House. See you in 2 years...
