Retama Park

Yesterday was a very eventful day. Picked up Grandma/Great Grandma headed off to Brycen's game, then home to watch the Longhorns play, and YES they beat OU. Then we went to get Brycens haircut, then took Grandma to Target, then off to Retama Park. The kids got to pet bunnies, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens, Braden was running around hitting and spooking all the chickens so we took him out of the pin, but they did enjoy the pony rides. I thought they would be scared but much to my surprise were really excited. After the pony rides we went to watch the races. Out of the 3 races we saw, only Brandon and Brycen won on there bets, my Grandma and I didn't have much luck, I think because we only picked horses with "pretty names" lol! I really enjoy going to there, though the kids are a joy to bring, I think it would be a lot of fun to go without them. :)Maybe next time...

Pumpkin Patch

Today we headed to Medina Texas to the Love Creek Orchard Pumpkin Patch. Its about 50 miles west of San Antonio, it was far but couldn't have been a nicer drive. The kids really enjoyed it. They picked out there pumpkins then painted them, they did the hay maze a couple of times, ran around chasing the turkey, sang/played along with tambourines with the folk singers, which I even caught Brycen singing along. Can't forget they hay ride to and from the car. Aubrynn didn't really like petting the horse, they were too scary she said, but Braden enjoyed them. They made there very own color sand bottles (you know the ones you fill up with colored sand). After spending quite some time there we heading back through the little town of Bandera and ate some Texas BBQ. Here are some pics from our fun afternoon.

Our 1st fire in our new house.

We were so lucky to have bought our 1st house this June. The Lord truly has blessed us this year. At the beginning of the year it would have never crossed our minds to buy. But the more we looked into it, it seemed like a great opportunity for us. As soon as we found out that we were getting stationed here at Fort Sam Houston, our search began. After months of looking we found our prefect house. This night was the coldest it had been since we moved in, so we jumped at the chance to get a log and sit around the fire. It is so nice to have a fireplace. Our family really enjoys this time together. Here Brycen fell asleep in front of it.

Brycen's hangout night

After Brycen's football games some of the boys hang out. Here are the boys playing bowling and Rock band on the wii. They had a good time.

Brycen's 1st Football game

So here are the pictures I said I would put up a couple of weeks ago. His team is doing great, right now they are 4-1. He is number 52. Braden was cheering him on, and when we first arrived Aubyrnn didn't want to go to the stands and sit down, she thought she could hang out with Brycen on the sidelines, so here is a pic of her giving us attitude.
