Here is some video from our trip to "Old MacDonald's Farm" aka the Maize...
Leslie loved this cow train! Watch her throw her hands up over every hill. And then watch her slide down this mega slide. It was alot faster in person. She was pretty upset they wouldn't let her go by herself. She is her father's child!

And we're back
We're done and home! Everything went really well. The doctor said there wasn't any scaring or damage in her ears from past infections either! She was a big cry baby waking up, but I expected that because I'm the same way:) These tubes will stay in 6 months to a year and the doctor doesn't anticipate she'll need them again... we'll see about that. She's got ear drops for a few days and ear plugs when around water until the tubes fall out; but hopefully, that will be our only inconvenience (which is a lot less than bi-monthly 2 hour doctor visits!) Thanks again for all the prayers! God is good.
off to the hospital
We're off to the hospital. We should be home before lunch and I'll try and post a little note letting everyone know how things went! Thanks for the prayers!

Leslie's surgery plans
We went to the ENT doctor this morning, and he said everything looks good for her surgery on Friday. We won't know her exact surgery time until Thursday, but the nurse said probably around 6:30am. No food or drink after midnight on surgery day. They'll just use a mask and general anesthesia to put her under (no needles or IVs.) It should take about 7 mins, and then she has to stay an hour after just to monitor her, and we should be out by 9ish. Everyone assures me it's not a big deal, but please keep us in your prayers just the same. I'll keep you posted as I learn more...
Tech vs. Texas game
Barry and I got to attend last Saturday's victory over UT!
Barry actually drove up with my mom and brother late late late Friday night after trick-or-treating so he could go to College Gameday Saturday morning. I made a couple signs for them to take, and after 3 hours of sleep, he and Ben woke up and headed to the set. You can see the signs pretty well a couple of times and if look really quick, you can see Barry's face during a big crowd shot. It was a dream come true for him! I'm just so glad we figured out a way that he could attend... and I'm thankful that I have a brother still under age that was able to wake up and keep him company:)
It was an amazing game! Of course the game was packed. The students did a really good job of "blacking out" the stadium. You can't really tell in the picture, but trust me that that's what you're seeing.
Here is a picture of the students rushing the field at the end of the game. The Saddle Tramps shoot off guns at the end of each quarter and the end of the game. Whoever was in charge of that needs to be fired because he kept shooting them off before the game was over, and therefor, caused the field to be rushed repeatedly with a second left on the clock. It was pretty amazing though when the student section emptied out finally and covered the field. And, we didn't even tear anything up this time! (The idiots on the goal post patrol need to fired too because they went ahead and lowered the goal post before the game was over!) We did lose a few benches in the student section on a big play, but I know how easily those things break from experience.
It made me a little sad to think about how old I am. I wanted to be young again and be sitting down there in the student section cheering and heckling and standing and jumping and rushing. But I am much too old, and currently, much too pregnant, to enjoy such mayhem!
We sit in the outside section with my brother, Ben. So, here we are documenting our attendance...
So where's Leslie??
We have awesome friends who offered to watch Leslie for us over the weekend while Barry and I relived our youth. The game didn't start until 7pm and it was just crazy and crowded, so we decided to leave her in Midland. Leslie stayed with Phillip and Jenna (Parker's parents.) They went to the park a ton, and they stripped Leslie down to her diaper and let her play and roll around in some mud they have in their backyard, and Leslie had her first sleepover... with a boy none the less:) The original plan was for Jenna and Baby Beckham to come back over to our house for the night so Leslie could sleep in her own bed, but she didn't want to, so they just gathered up her stuff and let her sleep with Parker in his full size bed! I guess they were plenty tired because Jenna said Leslie didn't move all night:) Hopefully, I can get some pictures of all the fun and post them for all to see! Mega thanks to Phillip, Jenna, Parker and Baby Beckham for helping us out!!! We love yall!

Halloween
Leslie dressed up like a Bumble Bee for Halloween. We never could get a good posed picture of her, but maybe you can composite the idea from these few...
Here she is up at Barry's work. All the kids come up and go trick-or-treating around the office. She filled an entire pumpkin with candy on this trip alone, so we didn't have to worry about collecting candy at any of the other events for the night. She would go up to people and say "Buzz Buzz- Sting!" and tap them with her wand. It was really cute:) This is also the only picture with her wings on...
After dinner, we went up to her "school" for their "Trunk-or-Treat." They had a ton of cars and trucks in the parking lot that kids could get candy from. I'm glad we had already met our candy quota because the line was incredibly long. Leslie of course, just wanted to play on the playground...
She also got to jump in a few big air moon jumpers which she loved. Here she is waiting in line for one...
After this, we traveled around town trick-or-treating, showing her off to a few friends, and then, called it a night. It was a fun Halloween! Now I need to start thinking on how I'm going to theme both my girls next year...

First Pumpkin Carving
Leslie and Daddy carved a pumpkin the other night. While she liked the idea of it (and getting to run around in her diaper,) she did not really want to take an active role in the process. The insides were just too yucky! So, Barry would scrape all the sides down and then she would ladle the guts out carefully to keep a safe distance...
Mommy helped draw the face...
And after Daddy cut out the face... she had a beautiful jack-o-lantern!
