Laughlin AFB Fall Harvest

We were able to enjoy a little Halloween fun before we headed out to Florida. The kids enjoyed getting candy, playing games and a haunted house. Eleanor is a Minion this year, Maddie is Katniss and Jack is Robin Hood. Such fun! Love, Jessie

USS Lexington part 2

Here are a few more pictures from our weekend in Corpus Christi. This is on the way home, two tired girls! We also stopped at a pumpkin patch were able to enjoy a corn maze and the kids loved the jumping pillow. The other pictures are on the flight deck in the morning as the sun was rising, beautiful! Love, Jessie.                                         

USS Lexington

Jack is new to Cub Scouts this year and loving it. This past weekend we were able to go to the USS Lexington for an overnight with a few Scout troops from around Texas. It was a blast. We had a wonderful tour, enjoyed sleeping on bunk beds and even enjoyed a few ghost stories and fun haunted house on the boat. Love, Jessie

Swim Meet In San Antonio

Swimming the 50 Butterfly

We had a nice weekend in San Antonio cheering on Maddie at her first ever swim meet. She competed in three sessions and six different heats. She placed 1st in all but one of her heats and made her best times in all 6 events! Her favorite was the breaststroke but she also competed in the freestyle, backstroke and butterfly. We are so proud of her and love that after a full day and a half of events she smiled and said she had so much fun!  Great Job Maddie! We can't wait til December when you can do it again. Love, Jessie
