ACU Homecoming 2012

We were so excited around our house when the weekend of ACU Homecoming came this year because it meant we would get to spend some time with some of our very best friends. They are those friends that when you see them it is like no time has passed at all and you pick right back up where you left off. Our children love each other and are the same ages which makes it nice. It was a wonderful weekend and I cannot wait to do it again very soon. We miss them so much!

Corn Maize

 On our way home from the wedding we took a detour through Lubbock and went to a corn maize I had read about online. It was something we do not have in Abilene and looked like a lot of fun. The picture above is of the maize design we actually walked through. I was so thankful for my husband and the way he can read a map that day because we did not make but two wrong turns and were able to correct them without much time wasted. I do not know how someone would begin to come up with these designs in the first place. I figured out very quickly I had the wrong type of shoes on, not to self wear tennis shoes next time.
 Here we are at the end of the maize. Notice Kaylee has her shoes off, again a lesson learned in proper shoes for corn maizes. They were so excited when we finished the maize though.
 I always love a good picture of the girls walking holding hands. This is the image of love I try to remember on the days they are yelling at each other.
 Kaylee and Campbell had a lot of fun putting their heads through the different cut outs.

 We also got to go on a hayride through a pumpkin patch and actually pick our own pumpkins off the vine. They had white pumpkins, orange pumpkins, gourds, and various other types of pumpkins. It was so much fun. There was also a horse ride, smaller maize, and petting zoo to enjoy.
Our family in the pumpkin patch. What a great day! I am so glad that we stopped and enjoyed some family fun on the way home.

Family Wedding in Brownfield

 Well this past weekend was so much fun! We had the honor of attending and participating in Cary's cousin, Samantha's wedding in Brownfield, TX. It was so great to spend a few days with family and Campbell even got to be a flower girl for the first time ever along with her cousin, Chenna. They had the best time running and playing in those dresses, as well as walking down the aisle perfectly.



 Here is Kaylee before the wedding with her Aunt Rae-Rae who was a bridesmaid. Don't they both look great?
This picture is of me with one of my favorite women, Cary's Grandmother, Betty.
The weekend was filled with lots of love and laughter. It is always so wonderful to go to a wedding and relive the the day we took our vows. Praying Nick and Samantha have a lifetime of joy and love ahead of them.

Wylie Homecoming 2012

Now that Kaylee is in 5th grade I found out Homecoming takes on a whole new importance in the form of a mum. Of course, I did not know this until the day before so I had to give myself a crash course in mum making. Never having done that before I think I did an okay job. I thought the boys gave the mums but evidently if there is no boyfriend (which I am glad we do not have one yet since we are just in 5th grade) the Mom gets to buy it, make it. Most of Kaylee's friends do not have or want boyfriends so that lead to a lot of crafty Moms. Here is the photo evidence to prove my craftiness.



I love these two girls and the friendship that they have had for several years now.

ACU Football

Now that school has started you will find us at football games on the weekends. One of our good friends is the new head coach at ACU and we are so excited for him and his precious family. Of course, we have several other friends connected with ACU football we are always excited to support too. Here are some of our favorite photos cheering on the Wildcats.
