Dare to be Drug Free

This is Red Ribbon week so we have dressed up each day to support saying NO to drugs! On Tuesday, we had a program by The Morris Brothers...they are SO funny!! It was picture day so we dressed nice, but brought our caps and sunglasses because we are TOO COOL for DRUGS!!

"Corn Dog" and "Root Beer"

Rio Fest/Fall Carnival

We had our annual Rio Fest/Fall Carnival at the school on Saturday night. It was a huge success as usual! Our KPT does an awesome job!!

Maddie and Reagan

(I didn't see these 2 much! They played together all night.)

Jaxon, Maddie and Kenize (Lorin was NOT participating in the pictures! ....Kenzie only did because I bribed her! Ha!!)

Going fishin'

Kenzie visited the fishing hole and duck pond MANY times!! Thank goodness for the armbands!

Christen and Kenzie

Kenzie and Kelsey

Kenzie FINALLY warmed up and started having fun about 3 hours after we got there!! She was having fun, but wanted to be attached to me! She finally let go and road the train...10+ times! She met a new friend while riding (who was riding just as many times as Kenzie!). Her name is Caroline, and Kenzie is STILL talking about her new friend.

Reagan and Maddie

We were at the carnival for 4 hours!! Thank goodness they sold armbands this year....$20 to play all night!! We definitely got our $40 worth.

Baytown Weekend

We went to Baytown EARLY on Saturday, the 17th. We went to Damien and Joanna's house to watch the UT/ou game, then went to the Need to Breathe concert in Houston. I didn't get a picture of the 4 of us in our UT shirts...mainly because Maddie never got hers on~she stayed in her jammies all day! (We left at 5:30 in the morning so we just put the girls in the car asleep!)

Jody, Dustin and I went to the concert, and Damien and Joanna stayed home with the kids. I was a little skeptical about going to the concert in the first place, but then we got there and had at least 10-15 YEARS on most of the KIDS in line...I was really worried! We ended up having a great time and enjoyed the music...I know a lot of their songs, but wouldn't necessarily buy the CD! (Dustin has several of their CDs and loves them!)

I have a very similar picture from a Third Day concert from over 5 years ago...I need to find it and put it on here too!

Waiting between perfomances...not a chair in the place!

The monsters the next morning...

Maddie, Kenzie and Chance

Bryce was too worried about his own camera to look at mine!

Chance and Kenzie

It was a fun, fast weekend trip to Baytown... and had a much SMOOTHER drive down than our summer blow-out trip!

2nd Grade Field Trip

Ok, so I am a little behind! This field trip was on October 14th!

The second graders went to the Ft. Worth Zoo on Wednesday. We were a little worried about the weather since rain was in the forecast, but it turned out to be a wonderful day! And, I guess everyone else believed the forecast because we had almost the whole zoo to ourselves! It was great!! I have NEVER been when it was like that... I saw things I didn't even know they had there.
