Our Local Pumpkin Patch

On our way home from church the kids really wanted to get a pumpkin. We stopped at a few different stands where the pumpkins were expensive and pitiful looking.  Billy decided we could try the local pumpkin patch near our house and it was very sweet and fun. 

Alyssa charmed the boys on the tractor! 

They both thought that the insides of the pumpkin were ooey and gross! But it was worth it when they made these works of art below.  Thanks for the idea of sticker and twigs Grammy!

Kicking off the OU Football Season at Home

Hot wings n' tater wedges!  Boomer Sooner!

Oh yea, mom had her OU gear on too! 

For the Love of Fishing

Bill and his fish get along VERY well.  Here are just a few of his outings.

Caught a crawdad for the kids.

Isaiah fished his first tournament and it looks successful to mom!

Fishing with Uncle Gaylen and the cousins! 

We miss you Grammy & Pa Pa George!

Grammy & Pa Pa came for a visit, which I always get excited about and the grandkids do too! 

Isaiah Loves Football - Fall 2009

WRIGHT

BIG & TOUGH

1st Year Football (flag)

His team coached by Coach Kevin and Coach Matt through Upward Bound.

Coolest part of the game...getting to run through the cheerleaders and hear your name over the loud speakers!  Isaiah ran so fast he almost fell down every time!

Jumped so high to catch that ball!  Mom was proud!

Always said prayer before the game and had a half-time devotional about having Godly character.

We had some great visitors cheering Isaiah on!  It was SO fun to watch!  Mom and Dad loved it at much as Isaiah did!  Alyssa loved it most when she had someone to play with! 

Another Trip to Branson with Good Friends

Mom was gracious enough to help me find a condo in Branson and although it was a tad cozy we invited our long-time friends, John, Tam and Luke, to join us for a week-end getaway.  We spent a long day at Silver Dollar City, ate and walked at The Landing and hung out at the condo. 

The men and boys rode the "ship" where Isaiah's dad was a little nervous about the high altitude!

The kids had a blast in the pool and enjoyed splashing as wildy as possible. 

And while all this splashing was going on this one sleeps.....  (sorry John)

We had a great time and it was good to get away and catch up with friends.

The Trip to Pagosa Springs

Our family took a trip to Pagosa Springs in August of 2009!

We had a lot to celebrate and a lot to do on this nastalgic trip. 

See, my family used to go to Pagosa every year at Spring break and although we hadn't been in several years (12 1/2 years for Billy & I) it was a place ful of memories.

Billy and I celebrated our 12 year anniversary.  Pagosa was a special place for us to celebrate because it is the same town where Billy asked my Dad for his blessing to marry me.  Boy, Dad.......thanks for watching out for me!  Joking! I wouldn't trade this man for the world!

Alyssa had to go to the doctor and while we waiting Grammy sat outside writing her 60th birthday speech!

We ate at The Malt Shoppe twice! Really great hamburgers and ice cream.  Then, we rented some tubes and hopped in this crazy looking buss to be dropped off for a very slow and rocky float in the river.  The river was just a tad too shallow for many of us!  Grammy, Prego Aunt Katy and Alyssa stayed behind and played in the warm Hot Springs water waiting for us. 

We had a baby shower for John and Katy, due in November with who we know know and love "Jackson". Nina made some super yummy cupcakes for the shower and they were surprised!

We hiked to a waterfall and had a picnic while John, Dad and Taylor climbed straight up the side of the mountain and made us all super nervous. Thank you God they all came down safely!

And last, but not least, we celebrated Mom's 60th birthday in style!  What a memorable night that we will never forget.  Love you mom for the way you love us and the zest you have for life!
