Fall Fever

I love this time of year. The mornings and evenings are cool but the days are still warm. I love sleeping with the windows open. I love the anticipation of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! October is definitely my favorite month.

With the weather being so pleasant we have been doing outdoor activities. Heather and I have been running 2-3 miles a day. Running is not so bad when there is a nice cool breeze. Tuesday night we went miniature golfing with Jeff's entire family. Shawna was the only sibling missing. The boys were very serious and competitive about the game. Jeff got first place and Heather took second place.

To get in the Halloween spirit we all went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas on Friday for "Fright Fest." In the month of October Six Flags decorates for Halloween with pumpkins, ghosts, and even water fountains dyed red to look like "blood." They also put on fantastic Halloween shows. The entire Fuller Family had a blast.

Brayden's favorite ride at Six Flags is the bus ride. Here he is with his Aunt Heather!





















You know your child is getting big when he can ride the carousal all by himself.






Grandpa being silly on the carousal!

Brayden won the gold medal!
















My friend Courtney's Birthday was Sunday so I invited her family and some other friends over for dinner to celebrate. I made chicken parmesan and homemade rolls. I think I figured out the secret to making the chicken tender and juicy. Just put a little bit of butter on top of each chicken breast right before you stick it in the oven. My friend Pam made yummy banana bread and for dessert we had Mississippi mud pie. I am so glad to have Courtney as my friend. She is very sweet and kind and I felt an immediate connection to her when we first met. Having friends like her makes me less homesick for AZ. Her daughter Sadie just turned two so we celebrated her birthday as well. Brayden loves to play with Sadie. Sadie is officially his first "girlfriend." Happy Birthday Courtney and Sadie!



I found a long lost memory card that had pictures of me last year in AZ with my dance girls. This past year was the first year that I did not teach dance since I was 18. I really miss dancing and teaching. I hope to teach again soon.

hey Ang..

I am not sure if you heard about Kari and Justin Cook's 7 month old baby Bree. She has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer and they could really use your thoughts and prayers as she attempts to fight this with chemo.
Go to my blog and click on their link for more info...so very sad!
