Fall Fun Day

Yesterday, Ryan kept Rylie and I got to go to Katie's school with the for FALL FUN DAY! Everybody was supposed to wear orange and just about everyone did. We got to the auditorium a little early for the Parable of the Pumpkin story...so Katie's class got on the steps and sang songs to the parents.

Then we heard the Parable of the Pumpkin and watched Pumpkin Carving...

Katie's class made some orange crafts...

Then we went around to different classrooms for fun activities...

Lunch Time and Lots and Lots of Cookies and Candy!

Rest Time

Then Mrs. Gary had a real neat activity where they got to see and feel the inside of a real pumpkin and then glue pumpkin seeds and yarn inside their little book entitled "What's Inside A Pumpkin"!!

We had a really fun day and Katie loved me getting to stay with her all day!!

Goat Day!!

Katie's School learned the letter "Gg" this past week and what better "show and tell" item than a real live goat!! Holly brought Cheyenne's show goat, Snickers, up to school for all the kids to see and pet and her helpers, Sierra and Jonathan.

This is the youngest group of kiddos...it took them a minute, but then they really go into petting a brushing Snickers...

The next class...

Then we took it outside for the bigger kids...

Then it was time for Katie's class...

These are the three girls that Katie says she plays with everyday...

This is Sadie!

Walk for Life

This past Saturday, the girls and I attended an event held by the local Hope Pregnancy Center called "Walk For Life". The purpose of the walk was to earn money for this non-profit organization to continue to help young women who are pregnant and need counseling, monetary help and/or a Support System during this hard time in their life.

After our walk to show our support, we enjoyed the bounce house, Prego the Clown, raffle drawings, and time spent with friends...

We are excited to get to be a part of this meaningful organization and appreciate all the volunteers that put in their time and money to make a difference in these young womens' lives!
