October 2016

October has come and gone. We are nearing the end of the 2016. Yay! 
The first quarter of school is over and all of the kids made Honor Roll--We are very proud of them.The first quarter of school has been a busy one. We are getting into the groove of things again, but are excited for the holidays and a break from school work. I am also looking forward to family dinners again since the kids are done with football and soccer! Hallelujah!

Luke was out of town for work and Grandma and Grandpa Hogue came to watch Bubba's game at Centennial High.

 Grandma and Grandpa Hogue also came to Tubbs' game at BCHS.

 

 The night before our anniversary we went to dinner at the Marketplace and then walked over to see a movie.

 Anniversary lunch/dinner with the kids to Outback on Sunday after church.

Anniversary tulips!

 After two months Bubba finally brought home his practice pants. 
Thankfully one of his friends told him how bad they smelled.

 Wiggy has been hanging out more often with her friend Maya from church. On a Saturday they went to a friend's baptism together, Chuck E Cheese for lunch  and then home to play with Maya's new puppy.

 After Bubba's football game at Frontier. Bubba ran the ball for 20 yards on a kick off return. We thought he might score--he was close.

 We went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant, which was next door to Wendy's. Tubbs asked if he could get a burger and we said sure. So he "snuck" it in under his beanie.

Friday "Earth Wars" at Tubbs' school. It's a homeroom competition and Tubbs had to wear his assigned colors of red and white for OSU.

Daddy takes Wiggy to school every morning and he says it's his favorite time of the day. He enjoys listening to her jokes and chatting with her. She always asks for money so she can buy "Smencil pencils" or notepads. 
Before Halloween they were selling Boo-Grams for 50 cents. We gave her a dollar because she wanted to send two to friends. On Halloween when they were delivered she told me she decided to send one to a little boy who sits near her. She said that no one ever sends him stuff and she thought he would like it. When she told me the story tears came to my eyes--I was so proud of her for being kind and thinking of someone else.

An early morning Saturday bike ride to the Broken Yolk Cafe. Tubbs was staying the night with a friend, so we were one kid short.

Mismatch Day at school, for Red Ribbon Week.

Wiggy's class went to the school kitchen on a Friday morning so I was able to join them! They made spice pancakes and an apple butter.

Wiggy's last soccer game. I think the only won one or two games all season, but she was so fun to watch. All of the parents were very complimentary and loved watching her play. She was aggressive and a great contributor to the team.

Wiggy had her friend Maya stay over the Friday night before Halloween. We went to her soccer game and then out to pizza. The next morning they dressed up, danced, put on makeup and then we went to donuts.

We went to Delano to see Tubbs' last football game. While waiting for the game to start we went over to see Cassie and her new baby Noah. He was the cutest little thing. He even fell asleep on me and I was in love.

Wiggy's first time holding a baby!

Tubbs' team played Delano and they won the "Toilet Bowl." He also found out he was selected to the All Star team, which is pretty cool.

Pumpkin Patch with the kids on a Saturday night. We picked out two good sice pumpkins for carving.
