We went out to the Corn Maze near Shallowater
on a very windy Sunday afternoon!! It took a little
over an hour to complete the whole maze, they have
half way point where you can rest then come back
to finish it when you are ready. We took a hayride
when we got to the halfway point. Kooper was our
fearless leader the first half, Chett was our leader the
2nd half! It sure was a lot of fun, lots of walking & wrong
turns, but we had a blast!

Every year is a different maze, this year
was Raider Red!! You start at the top, near
his gun, and finish at the bottom!!

Ready or not, we are OFF!!

This was one of two bridges that you could
climb on top of to see where you were!!

Our fearless leader!!

We are DONE!! YAY!!!

New Puppy!

Mom & Dad got a new puppy last week!!
Not too sure what kind it is, but it sure
is cute! They named it Honey, but I
thought it looked more like a Charli.
When we were taking these pictures she
would only answer to Charli, guess we
will see what Mom & Dad decide!

Labor Day 2009

We spent Labor Day Weekend in Lamesa with Chett's family. We took the kiddos swimming Saturday afternoon at the Lamesa Country Club. Kooper's swimming has improved 100% since the beginging of the summer!! On Sunday we attended church with Chett's whole family for his grandparents 60th wedding anniversary!!

Swimming with Chett is easy!!

Get Ready, Get Set,.......

GO!!!!

He even jumped off the diving bored,

with Nanna's (Chett's mom's) help!!!

Then he went all by his self!!

He's such a BIG boy!!

Hotter N' Hell

For all of you who don't know Chett has competed in triathlons all summer long, well he got wind of this Hotter N' Hell event held in Wichita Falls each August. He some how talked me into doing the race with him!! There are all sorts of events all weekend long. Chett participated in the Trail Ride on Friday evening and we both did the 25 mile race on Saturday morning!! The real race is the 100 mile race, but neither of us thought we were anywhere near ready for 100 miles, those guys are nuts!! Chett finished the 25 miles in an hours and 20 mins, I on the other hand finished in 2 hours and 30 mins!! I had a flat about 3 miles into the race, and thankfully a guy changed it for me!! The 25 miles flew by, there were rest stops every 10 miles, but I was very proud of myself for not stopping once, except for my flat!! The last rest stop was in the Air Force base!! At the end of the rest stop all the new recruits were standing on both sides of the street hooting & hollering for you!! It was pretty amazing, they were standing there yelling for us when all we are doing is riding in a race, when we should be yelling for them for severing our amazing country!! It was AWESOME!! We will defiantly go back next year!! Chett may try the 50 mile but I will stick with the 25 mile!!!

Chett & I before the race!!

Proudly supporting TECH!!

I was thinking 'Lets go before I chicken out!!'

Thats me on the very end!! I look like a kid!

Hotter N' Hell 2009

Koop's Fractured Arm!!

Well, it was bound to happen!! Kooper fell playing at a friends house on Wednesday afternoon and fractured his left arm!! We went and saw his pediatrician on Wednesday and after Xrays and lots of waiting they told us it was fractured and we would have to go see a orthopedic doctor. So, Thursday we went to the orthopedic doctor and he explained he had a buckle fracture and putting a cast on it wouldn't do much good. So he put it in a brace, Kooper was kind of bummed, he was all set for a camo cast!! He has to wear the brace for 4 weeks, he can take it off to swim, take a bath, and sleep!! I'm relieved, 6 weeks in a cast during our 100 degrees days would have been miserable for him!!
