Octoberfest

We are celebrating our Second Annual Octoberfest at work. I missed the fun last year because Charlie and I were in Colorado. After our costume contest, the VP's will be grilling hamburgers for everyone. There is a pumpkin contest - but our team didn't participate! :(

Here is a photo of the Incredible Shrinking Woman (Robbi who has lost 103 pounds!) and the Little Ol' Lady from Pasadena (I think you'll recognize her!)

UH Football and Homecoming

Charlie and I went down to UH about noon for the Homecoming activities. Lots of tailgating and visiting. We tasted chicken smoked by Coach Curl, the Women's Basketball coach and ate lunch with the Alumni Association. These photos are from the Homecoming Parade. Shasta andSasha are featured. The "real" Shasta and Sasha were brought back for this special occasion. Oh, Yeah - UH won 38-15. Go Coogs!
Touchdown - Coogs Score!

Weekend at Kimmie's House

My Golden Raintree has turned from yellow to pink and Maddie discovered one of the petals that had fallen to the ground.
Maddie and Tsunami were having fun investigating the backyard on this pretty fall day.

Notice the boots? Kimmie let her change from her Sunday shoes to her boots!

Mommy and Gianna were enjoying the patio also.

The girl has so many different expressions!
Maddie took me out to the Raintree and told me to take her picture. Then she posed!

Tsunami and his buddy making plans!
Running and having fun!

BFF's.
Maddie found this stick horse when Melissa and I took her shopping. She picked it up and immediately started riding it! Melissa had to buy it for her!

So sweet!
No, Maddie isn't asleep - just Gianna. She just wanted to lay on the quilt beside Gianna - for about five minutes. Just long enough for me to get some pictures.


Isn't she beautiful?
Mommy and her girls. Yes, Maddie is "cheesing."
