October according to my iphone

 Sunday afternoon treat making.eating is a favorite thing around here. 
 They really enjoyed these oreo mini cheesecakes.
 Brady was proud to say he eats boogers.  I'm such a weird mom that I got these for him.

 General Conference was fantastic. 
 Totally filled my bucket and got some great talks and quotes to ponder/study for the next few months.
 Tanner said goodbye to a dear friend for two years.  Elder Austin Jetton will be serving a fulltime two year mission for our church in Reno, NV.  That means Tanner is next.....
 Yes, it's true.  one day we had to break out sweaters and hot chocolate.  But only one day. Then we were back to the 70s.  Fall in Texas is Heavenly.  
Winding up the football/ cheer season.  Saw this on facebook and laughed.  a few of our parents might need to see this.


 Spent a day at the Big Orange Pumpkin Patch in Celina with Lindsey, G and Hank.
 Spent a fabulous weekend with these great ladies at Time Out for Women.
 Bleh....yearly mum making.  We survived another year of it.

 And it was much appreciated.
Homecoming Parade was a blast.

 Cheerfest 2013 almost killed me but we survived that too.  This was my last year to coach cheer.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
