Donut Shop=Donut Pumpkin Patch=Pumpkin Corn Maze= WHAT NO CORN???????

We went on Joel's very first field trip on Wednesday. He was so excited. I think he was as excited about riding on the bus as he was about anything else. The day started with being assigned a partner. Joel was assigned to his princess, Summer. They have been the prince and princess since the first week of school. So after the partner assignment, they boarded the bus and headed to Krispy Kremes in Lubbock. The donuts were a hit. After the donuts, we headed to the corn maze north of Lubbock. They ate lunch and got ready for the journey thru the maze. After the maze, (we only did half) we went to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins. They kids were to find a pumpkin and stand by it and raise their hand until the ONE guy ran to each kid to cut their pumpkins free. After everyone had their pumpkin, we boarded the hay ride again and headed back to the main area and to the "cow train". The kids had a blast. After several more picture opportunities and visiting the animal area, they boarded the bus and headed back to Whiteface. Mrs. Gruhlkey said that all of her Pre-K kids slept on the way home. They were exhausted. We had a beautiful day and everyone had a GREAT TIME!!!!!

After we got home, Joel kept running thru the events of the day and was concerned with why we didn't get corn at the corn maze. He said "mom.....we went to the donut place and got a donut, we went to the pumpkin orchard and got a pumpkin and we went to the corn maze and didn't get any corn." He was obsessed with that. We ended up having to go to the grocery store and buy some corn like what we saw at the corn maze.

As you can see, we had a blast.




















JH Football In Full Swing

Well, we have had 2 games now for the JH Antelopes and a victory for both. The boys have definitely suprised everyone. They are looking good and things are going well. We continue to pray for success and no injuries. God has really blessed our little JH team with both so far. Jason is a GREAT coach with priorities in the correct order. He expects his boys to focus on their school work when it is school time and focus on team work when it is team time. Some people are just not built to be a JrHigh coach, but Jason is. He loves this age and loves his job.







The boys love Trevor being around.
