Latest and Greatest

I'm going to quit promising to be better at blogging, and then maybe it will happen!! Life has been crazy!! Luckily I have had my camera for most of those special moments--in the past, that hasn't always been in case. I'll start with the most recent and work my way to where I left off last.

Our latest adventure was to the State Fair in Shreveport. My brother Zack shows cows, and this was his last State Fair to show at because he's a senior. I have to admit, I love being in a show barn. There is just something about it. It reminds me of the times I was showing my pigs--I loved it!! Landon and Maddie both love being there, too, and that makes me happy. Hopefully showing in the 4-H program will continue on after Zack graduates. He did awesome. I don't remember all of the placings, but I know he got Grand Champion Bull. His bull is a BEAST, but oh so gentle. Congrats, Zack, we're proud of you!!

Before the State Fair, actually the night before, was Halloween and Zack's Sr. Night football game. I'll start with Halloween. Landon knew right after our DisneyWorld vacation that he wanted to be Indiana Jones for Halloween. There was no changing his mind, that's what he wanted to be. Joseph and I had a hard time deciding on Maddie. Everyone at DisneyWorld called her Tinkerbell so that's what we originally planned. I did not like any of the costumes I found for her to be Tinkerbell. So then we decided for her to be a '50's sockhop girl. The costume was absolutely adorable. Long, sad story short, the sockhop costume did not come in. Luckily, we had her ladybug costume from last year. It was actually much cuter on her this year because last year she wasn't walking. Halloween turned out great!! Yay!!

We took the kids Trick or Treating and then headed to the football game. All the seniors were acknowledged and were given flowers to give to their parents. Kind of lame--but it's tradition.

The weekend of the 25th the church had a Fall Fest. Instead of the traditional Trunk or Treat, we had a hayride and bonfire. It turned out nice.

Well, that's the latest and greatest from the Hendon House. Let's be honest, I may not post before Thanksgiving, so I hope everyone has an awesome one. Lots of love!!
