Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving last week.  Harry and Mary came over on Wednesday afternoon.  That night, we took Eric out to dinner.  Eric is Mary's cousin, so Scott's 2nd cousin.  He is 18 and just graduated from boot camp at Lackland back in Sept.  The past 7 weeks, he's been in Tech School.  We met him for the first time in Sept.  His Dad, Bob came for the graduation and stayed with us.  That was my first time meeting Bob.  Anyway, him and Eric are super nice and we had a good time with them.  The past 2 weekends, Eric has had base leave, so we'd pick him up and hang out on Saturday and Sundays.  We were able to take him out to dinner Wed, before he flew home on Thursday.  He's all finished with Tech School now.  His family wants us to go to visit them in MT.  Hopefully we can make that happen. 

Thursday, Brett, Carman, and Vienne also came over for Thanksgiving.  The food all turned out great and we ate too much.  Here are just a few pictures.

WVU vs UT game

Last Friday we drove over to Austin for the WVU vs Texas game.  Stacey flew in for it since she went to UT and we, of course, went because it was a chance to see West Virginia.  This was Tyler's first big football game.

Friday evening we met up with Stacey, Kristin, and another friend for dinner.  We wanted Molly to see Stacey since she wasn't going to the game.  We had yummy tacos and a good time catching up.
We stayed with Brett and Carman and they watched Molly for us.  She had a great time at the park, going out for pizza, playing with Vienne, playing games she brought, and watching the Alabama game with Uncle Brett.
We arrived early at the game and got to see the team warming up.  Tyler even got a picture with the Mountaineer.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great time.  WVU won even though they tried to give it away a few times.

We had a great time and look forward to more games.

Weekend Visitors

Last weekend Brett, Carman, and Vienne were here for a visit.  We had dinner on Friday night and it was so fun to see Vienne.  She's 14 months now and just adorable.  The kids loved playing with her. 
 

Saturday we went with them to Sea World.  Again,Vienne was so cute getting excited seeing all the animals.
 
 
 
  Saturday evening, we had a truck-or-treat at our community center. 
Vienne is a people watcher.
Vienne was gumball machine.
Sunday morning we took Vienne on a walk in the wagon and then all played outside-boys threw the football, Molly rode her bike.
This coming weekend, we're going to Austin for the UT vs. WVU football game.  Molly is staying with Brett and Carman during the game.  She's excited to play with Vienne more.

Halloween Costumes

We had a fun time trick-or-treating Monday night.  Molly went around with her friend, Briley and Tyler went with 3 of his friends.  They both got tons of candy.  Here they are:
Tyler was a Rival Master.  That Nerf gun is called a Rival and comes with a mask.  He just wore red and black to match it. 
My pretty mermaid. 

Molly's friend, Briley was also a mermaid. 
Briley's mom did Molly's braids for her.  I am no good at hair; I've got to learn.
