Pumpkin patch

 We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch but with much fewer people. With Allia at A&M and the other older kids not so interested, I decided just to go with my littler pumpkins. ;)

Lil' Wranglers Photos

 We have 3 Lil' Wranglers this year with Stephen in the mix. They all looked great for team photos today. I CAN'T WAIT to see them dance at Barn Dance. One more month...

White and Maroon Team with Gloria and her partner in the upper left.

Half of the whole team photo with M doing a shoulder sit in the upper left, G and her partner in the upper left, and Stephen with his partner at the bottom row kneeling (they all ended up on the same side!).

Aquinasfest

 We started with Bingo Friday night and had a nice time visiting with friends. A sweet friend sitting with us was so patient with Cecilia letting her "help" with her Bingo card. It made it much more enjoyable for me. ;) Bingo can get stressful trying to magage small people!

Then Sunday we hit the festival, some of us as helpers, some attendees and some of us did both. It was HOT but fun.

Mariana and I helped with face painting together, which was so fun!

Then she wisely volunteered at the dunk tank during the hottest part of the afternoon! Her siblings wanted to sink her but resorted to pressing the button when Cecilia's attempt failed.

Gloria and Stephen both spent time volunteering as well. It was a great family event!

Catholic Wranglers

 We took a picture of all of our Catholic Lil' Wranglers after mass to use in the program for the upcoming Barn Dance. What a great group!

My little ham just couldn't be left out of the photo session!

Archery boy and more kitten snuggles

 He is loving all the outdoor space for sports!

These poor kitties barely get a moment's peace.

Rainbow walk

 We went for a walk after dinner and were blessed with the most beautiful sky!

Kittens!

 Our sweet Pepper kitty disappeared (we suspect a bird of prey since they are plentiful here, and he rarely ventured far from home). So we took advantage of free adoptions at the Humane Society. Somehow the boys convinced me (I am such a softie!) that they needed their own cat, so we adopted a pair of brothers.
