You Can Take A Ride...

...On My Big Green Tractor!

The boys(mostly Kamden) love that song and Saturday night Heath and I took them to the Tulsa Corn Maize and this tractor was sitting by the ticket booth. So, of course, I couldn't pass up the the photo opportunity. Here are some more that could have been really cute if I could have gotten a few smiles and some cooperation!



Anyway, once we got in the boys had a good time. We went through the corn maize twice. The first time we stuck to the 'beaten' path and found our way out quickly but the second time we ventured out a little more and we walked in circles for a while. I found out that corn maizes aren't good for claustrophobic people! Heath talked Austin into going on the haunted one with him. Needless to say, he (Austin) slept in our bedroom Saturday night! The boys also rode the 'Cow Train' and had rubber ducky races. This was a really neat place and we can't wait to back next year.

Hmmmm...Which way do we go?

Pumpkin Town

Thursday morning Kamden and I met some of his classmates and their moms at Pumpkin Town. It is here in Tulsa and they had lots of things for the little ones to do. They had inflatable slides, pony rides (which I couldn't get him to do) and many other play areas for the kids. Kamden and his friends had so much fun running around.

Another Fun Weekend

Heath planned a hunting trip for last weekend so we had some of his family come for a visit. We had a great time and it was good to get to visit with everyone. They got here on Friday evening shortly after the boys got home from school. While the men were gone to buy their shells for the hunt, the boys played outside with Grammy and Emmalee.

Grammy got to entertain Kamden!


Austin talked Emmalee into playing football with him.


Emmalee and Will are such great cousins; they did everything the boys asked them to.


Here is Will throwing the football with Austin.


Saturday, the men went went on a guided pheasant and chucker hunt. I've never even heard of a chucker so I'm not sure I spelled it right but it is some kind of bird. They had a blast and they killed 27!

Ready for the hunt!


The Mighty Hunters with half their kill!

Here they are with all of them!

Saturday night we ate burgers at Red Robin and then went to Marble Slab for ice cream. YUM!

Heath insisted on taking our picture in front of Red Robin!

Think Pink

Last Saturday I ran the Susan G. Komen 5K with some friends from our neighborhood. We had a great time even though there were over 10,000 runners! it was a little crowded but it was fun. My time was 31:10. We are looking forward to our next race at the end of October.

We Speak Letters

Last week we had a worker come by to repair something at the house. Of course, the guy could barely speak English and I had to have him repeat everything at least twice. When he left Kamden said "Momma, he was speaking English." I tried to explain to him that he spoke Spanish and we speak English but he said "No, we speak letters not English!" :)

Future MLB Pitcher?!

Austin has started fall baseball and he is doing so good! Fall ball only last 4 weeks with the boys playing double headers each week. We changed teams this season and all the boys are from our neighborhood or the one next to us so Austin knew almost all of them. And best of all, they practice in the baseball field in our subdivision! Yay, no more driving for 30 minutes for practice!!! Anyway, this season he moved up to kid-pitch and all I had heard was how he wanted to be a pitcher so at the first practice the coach asked him to be one of the teams pitchers! He was EXCITED! At their first game a couple of weeks ago he got to start the game pitching. He pitched for 2 innings and he pitched 4 strikeouts! We were so glad Nonnie and Maw Maw Rat were here to see the games. It made his day to have them come watch him play. Last Sunday, he got to start the game pitching again and this time he pitched a no-hitter the first inning and he pitched 2 strikeouts in the second inning! He did such an awesome job that after the game the other team's coach came over to congratulate him! We are SO proud of him!! We only have 2 more weeks of games but the good thing is that he will get to stay with this team for the spring season. GO RED SOX!

Baking Cookies

A few weekends ago, momma and maw maw came to visit us. While they were here, one night we baked cookies. We all had so much fun; it kind of turned into a contest to see whose cookie looked the best!

The best part about baking cookies is licking the spoon!

Kamden is getting a little help from Nonnie

Just look at those sweet little hands!

She looks like she's done this a time or 2; don't you think? :)

Showing off their creations!

We took this picture on Sunday before church.
