Love Creek Apple Orchard









Love Creek Apple Orchard






So we hit up our annual stop at the Love Creek Apple Orchard/Pumpkin patch. The kids enjoy the hay ride, petting zoo, yummy goodies, pumpkins, etc. This year we were able to go with Aaron & Kristin Smith, and Jake & Erin Smith, and their kids. We all had a great time!

Colton Starts Soccer!






Colton has started soccer. He is having a great time! Sometimes he's more interested in playing around with his team mates rather than chasing the ball, but for the most part he enjoys playing the game. Here are some pics from his first soccer game.

Comal County Fair





Comal County Fair






We made it to the Comal County Fair again this. Unfortunately we missed my Uncle Blake compete in the Tractor Pull. But he got second place in his division. Way to go, Blake! Colton could stay and watch the tractor pull all day. It really is fun! Aaron's brother, Kris and his daughter, Aydia were able to come with us as well. The kids rode some rides and checked out the animals! Wyatt, isn't the most patient kid and he hated waiting for the ride operator to start the ride. You can see in some of the pictures he is going crazy waiting, strapped in the monster truck ride. Anyway, we had a great time! We'll be there again next year!

Caylee my cute daughter!

I just had to post this before I forgot. We just had dinner (white bean chili...a big hit at our house) and after Caylee took a bite she said, "When I eat this my mouth has so much expression." I love how she said that, I had to share.

Colton and the T-REX!!!


Colton loves dinosaurs!!! Of course...it comes with being three! We saw this one at Cascade Caverns in Boerne. He was so excited!

Laughlin's 60th Wedding Anniversary



Aaron's grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Their kids, Karen and Steve, threw a big party for them. Friends from all over the country flew in for it. Some people they haven't seen in over 30 years. We had a great time with BBQ, music and dancing. We are so happy for them and their accomplishments! We love them and wish them continued happiness in the years to come!

Guadalupe State Park




Aunt Ashley!!!






My sister Ashley was able to visit at the beginning of the month. We are always so excited when my sisters come in town. We all miss them so much! Maybe someday, they'll make it back to Texas permanantly! We can hope at least! While Ashley was here Colton and I went with her and James, Fallon and baby Vance to Cascade Caverns in the Boerne area. It was fun! Aaron stayed home with Wyatt and Caylee, who was sick. We also went to Guadalupe State park for some fun in the sun at the river while Ashley was here!

Let's get messy!

I thought it might be fun to make some homemade play dough. It was pretty sticky at first...but turned out okay in the end. Wyatt ate most of his...even though he would make a look of disgust after every nibble. But he is the master of putting digusting things in his mouth. I can't wait until he grows out of that phase.




Colton's first day of preschool!


Colton started preschool this year!!! Yippie! He absolutely loves it. Lucky for him his teacher is his Aunt Michelle. She started a preschool this year out of her home. And Colton's best friend is in his class as well. He feels like such a big boy now because he gets to go to school! He gets to do fun, messy crafts that he doesn't get to do very often at his own house. Thanks Michelle! And thanks for being such a great teacher!!!

Caylee's first day of 1st Grade


Caylee started first grade this year. So far she is loving it. Her teacher gives them lots of reading time during the school day...which Caylee loves. They even get to bring books to lunch. She really loves her school and making new friends. How fast they grow!!!

Playing in the rain





Caylee thought it would be a fun activity to play in the rain. So she put her jackets on Wyatt and Colton, and went out to play. They always have fun when their outside.
