Pink Cars & Pumpkins

October hasn't started off any slower than any other month! The kids are doing great with football and cheerleading...we only have 3 weeks left! I can't believe how fast time is flying. Even Cal said the other day that he couldn't believe that Christmas was so close! Are we just so busy that our lives are flashing before us? Whew!
We started the month off with Cameryn having transportation week at school. That meant she needed to make a cardboard car for transportation day and it was also the week that Darrell was out of town. Now, I'll claim a little creativity in my little finger, but not that much...so I had to call on some help from my little brother, Uncle Ken! He was excited and willing to take on this task (which went to prove that his boy's school projects will not be out done!). We ended up with a cute, pink VW complete with flower-power! (NOTE: Ken did the body and Cam and I did the painting and details.) Thanks Uncle Ken for making us a great car!


I have been promising the kids (mine, Tammy's and the Shelfer's) that we would make a trip out to the Pumpkin Patch in Flower Mound. Since we had the day off from school on Monday I thought that would be the perfect day....except we didn't have Abby and Dusty. So we waited to go after school on Tues. It actually turned out to be the best time to go because it wasn't very crowded and the weather was beautiful! This is really a great gift to the community that this family offers through the Pumpkin Patch! Here are a few pics from our little "field trip".



The GREAT Ride is only 2 1/2 weeks away and we are really getting anxious for it. Darrell has had a really busy month and has had to cut back on his training. We are praying that God will sustain what he has done and what he is able to do when he has a break in his schedule! We are claiming Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength.

Ok, I came home Friday night and got all caught up on the life you had told me all about that night (he!). Sure enjoyed reading and seeing pictures, but enjoyed being with you even more. You are a blessing, my friend.
