Where did October go?

I just realized I haven't made a post since September. What!!??!! I know they say "time flies when you're having fun" but I don't remember having that much fun.

So here goes a little synopsis of our October happenings.

* Played a lot of football. Not me, but the boys! We've won some and lost some. Mac and Weston have played AWESOME each week. I'm a proud OEM, that's Over Exuberant Mom, for all you Banquete alums.

*Mac has had a few injuries, but they haven't set him back on the field. His hand has been smashed between helmets a few times to the point that he has a large knot on the top of his hand. A couple weeks ago he hurt his ankle and toe. I really think he broke his big toe, but we didn't find out officially. Besides, what do they do for a big toe anyway? And there was no way he was going to miss a game.

*Celebrated 4-H. The annual 4-H festival was the first weekend of the month. Then it was 4-H meeting and One Day 4-H. Lots of 4-H happening this month.

*Mac got a deer. A nice 10 pointer.


*Bullseye. The boys are loving archery. Weston competed in his first district wide competition last week. He was nervous and was using borrowed equipment, but he found he groove and shot 193. That was super for his first time out.

*Hosted Oktoberfest party. We have done this with Trey's family for several years now. It is a nice evening and fun to be with friends and family. Grown ups only.

*Walker has lost another tooth and makes us smile all the time!

* Study!!! This weekend is a big one for me. I will take my comprehensive final to get out of college. Right now, I have MAJOR senior-itis. I really want to be out of school and get me life back. Please say a quick prayer for me for Saturday morning.

We seem to live one day at a time around here. There isn't much long term planning going on, except that our Saturdays have been booked with football since August. Once games are over, I wonder what we will do on the weekends. I'm already looking forward to the holidays and seeing my brother and his family, sleeping late, wearing warm pj's cause it's cold outside, seeing the Hedgpeth familia at the river (the whole crew and that's a large amount of people), and getting back to church (that is a big hole I need to fill right now).

Here are a couple of pics of the latest football games.

Mac is in the center of the picture tackling the runner.

Almost as tall as dad!


Weston had 3 huge QB sacks at his game. These are the
war marks that he checks on his helmet after every game.



And here's a picture of Walker....just for fun!
