October Happenings

We started off this month with a fun visit from Great Grandma Smith! Bill and Sandy dropped her off on their way to San Antonio and then picked her up on their way home. This was a fun visit as she got to see where all her Texas grandchildren lived and see a little into their lives. She even got to experience one of Alex's football games. We had fun dinners, played dominoes, and even met a new cousin. Thanks for your visit Grandma, we love and miss you. When Bill and Sandy came back through, we introduced them to Guitar Hero. I'm not sure who one the most but they both did a great job!

What is fall without a trip to the State Fair. This year was no different. The kids had a blast riding the rides, playing the games, and eating all kinds of fried food. Oh well, it is only once a year, right?
The favorite ride was the log ride. (Me, Alex, his friend Tyson, and Hayley - Geoff opted to stay dry and take the picture)
And Finally last weekend I went to San Antonio with some friends for Time Out for Women. It was such a great experience. From the car ride and talking with others that are in the same boat as you and who can relate, to staying in a hotel with nothing to clean, to nice walks on the River Walk, and great inspirational speakers, this is a weekend I highly recommend. This years theme was bringing joy into your life. And after this weekend I came back ready to be happy and enjoy my life.
