Fall Soccer Season

Another soccer season is over!  We had a great time this fall with 6 kids on our team this time.  We play 3 on 3 with no goalies.  I have been Jack's soccer coach since he was 4 and this year we switched leagues and got much more competitive.  We lost one game 4-2 and tied another 5-5 but won the rest and had a blast!  Our team The Hulks wears Green when we are the Home team and Purple when we are the Visitors so of course when they asked us what our team name was going to be Jack yelled out proudly "The Hulks," and it stuck! Jessie

Halloween

Maddie is in 6th grade and went trick or treating without me this year!  Her friends dad went with them!  Love the Alice in Wonderland Theme!

We invited a few families to join us in our neighborhood.  Jack is the Hulk and Eleanor the Witch!

School dress-up fun!

The school wouldn't allow a mask so we added the brows for fun!  Jack asked if there was anyway to add white eyes and I don't think Ive ever laughter harder!  

School party fun!

After!!! Checkout the adorable skunk!

WOW!!!

Yummy!

Carving Pumpkins

 We had fun cleaning out the goo and carving pumpkins, we even had a tray full of seeds to roast!  Jessie

The Girl Scouts and Jack run a 1K for Schools

The winners!

 I am the Girl Scout troop leader and we decided to help raise money for the schools in Clovis by staying healthy and fit and running a 1 or 5 K.  The Graddy's all ran and did great.  Three girl scouts ran a 5K, wonderful job and fun morning!  Jessie

Jack finished 6th, GO Jack!!

Get ready!!!

 Cheering on the 5Kers

Ready to run!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

 The kids, Maddie's friend and I headed towards Lubbock, about 2 hours, to get pumpkins!  We had fun in the hay maze and hayride and picking pumpkins.  Later that night, we returned for a night hayride and enjoyed over 100 carved and glowing pumpkins, such a treat!  Jessie

Springfield, Illinois

After the fun and excitement of a family wedding, we had to drive back to Clovis, NM and decided to make some stops.  We enjoyed the Lincoln Museum!  The kids favorite part was the souvenir shop! Jessie

Maddie laughed and tried to make a funny face!

Is the sun in your eyes?? haha!

Wedding in Chicago

My brother Mike got married and I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid.  The kids loved the shirley temples and desserts and all the dancing at the reception.  Eleanor even told me she thought that this wedding was the most fun of all!  Love, jessie
