Trunk or Treat

Tonight was Trunk or Treat at Hunter Street. It was a lot of fun and the boys seemed to really enjoy themselves. As you can see we had a Pirate and a Marshall, aka Sherrif, aka anything else he wanted to refer to himself as. The church fed everyone hotdogs and corndogs and then it was time for the Trunk or Treating. All the adult SS classes really went all out this year as they have in the years past. It is a great outreach to the others in the community as well. Tanner even had his picture made with Little Red Riding Hood and two of the Three Little Pigs!!! Jordan actually ran into another Pirate. There for a while we had a little fight on our hands but then we realized it was his buddy Colton. We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween.

Hook 'Em Horns

Yes, I know that we live in the state of Alabama, home of the #2 Crimson Tide and yes I know that my children are decked out in #1 Texas Longhorn t-shirts. My dad was born and raised in West Texas and is a long time Longhorn fan. He just returned from Austin after being there for a month with FEMA. This was his surprise for my boys from Granddaddy.

This post is not only for my dad but for my sweet friends, Billy and Emily Gazzaway. (Kadin and Avery's parents). They are also HUGH Longhorn fans. Terrell wanted to know if we were going to get to sit by Billy and Emily at the BCS National Championship game :)

Please let me introduce you to one of the newest members of the Academic Honors Club @ Helena Intermediate School! :)

Terrell and I were out of town last week for Terrell's national meeting. We really had a great time. I am so thankful to have such good friends that took such good care of my children while we were gone. I never worried one time that they were not taken good care of. My worries now are that Jordan will want to go back to Mrs. Terah's house and Tanner will want to go back to Mrs. Mary's house to stay!!

My mom came and stayed with Jordan on Thursday night. She called and left me a message that Jordan was being inducted in the Academic Honors Club at school Friday afternoon. Since I didn't have cell service on the island, I didn't get the message in time to change my flight so that I could be there. I was so upset but Blammie filled in the gap and went for me. I am so proud of Jordan and his accomplishments. He maintained a 95 or above average during his entire 4th grade year as well as the first 9 weeks this year. In case you are wondering, he gets it all from me!!!

The Grande 'Ole Pumpkin Patch

We met Blammie and went to Clanton to the Grande 'Ole Pumpkin Patch. It was a lot of fun and Tanner got to ride in the helicopter. He mentioned something about Disney while we were in the air and the pilot took us for an extra ride so that he could talk to us some more about our trip because he was wanting to take his family. It was a lot of fun. We also met up with some of Blammie's friends from Prattville. There wasn't one piece of ground that we didn't cover while there. We were even lucky enough to get to ride the John Deere Gator from the pumpkin patch to the barn. Tanner had an allergic reaction while picking his pumpkin so we had to get out of there fast. Jordan didn't go with us on this trip. I think he has had his share of the pumpkin patch over the years.
