The first Monday in November we had the Nowatzki family meet us at the farm. It was a fun night full of feeding cows, chasing chickens, roping, and best of all riding on the tractor. After it got dark we headed to our house for dinner and a lesson. It was a great night, spent with a great family!
On the night of Halloween, Garrett and Aubrey stopped by our house to give Preston a set of his very own lefty golf clubs. I don't know who was more excited, Garrett or Preston?! Both had really big grins on there faces. This all started back in the summer when Garrett and Gavin took the boys golfing one afternoon, and Preston had to use the backwards because he was left handed. Then Garrett found some tiny club at the Country Club and decided to get them for him. (Good thing Garrett picks the range to help his golfing habit! Because he has a really big savings account at the Proshop!) I told Garrett when he said that he was ordering them for Preston that he should wait and give them to him at Christmas, but he said "he couldn't wait that long!" I can't wait for when he has kiddo's of his own and has to keep their presents a secret. It will kill him!) We are really thankful for Uncle Garrett and Aunt Aubs. It was such a nice gift for Preston. Thanks again guys!
At the first of the month Preston was able to go on his FIRST School Bus ride. He could hardly wait. I don't even think he cared that they were going to Staheli Farms to see the animals all he cared about was riding the BUS! I asked him if he wanted me to go with him. At first he said "Yes!" Then a second later he said, "Well would you care if I just rode the bus alone?" I didn't mind! ;o) The week before he had a count down going and could hardly sleep the night before. The field trip was great and he loved the bus, except he said he didn't have time to have the nap that he was planning. Who know where that came from?! All I know is my little guy is growing up, and that is pretty exciting.
Saturday morning Landon had another baseball game and then when most people in America were getting ready to Trick or Treat we were again at the ball fields for the final Championship game. It was a good game and even though we lost the boys were in good spirits because of course Trick or Treating!! 
They had to wait through awards presentations, mom's taking team photo's and coaches pep talks. Then it was time to go knock on a few doors!
In all the rushing this is the only picture I took of Addie and I didn't even take one picture of my boys trick or treating with their friends. I can't believe it, I feel terrible. When we got to the Nowatzke's house they jumped out of the car and sort of heard us yell stay out of the road and don't leave your brother, then they were gone never to be seen from again... What a fun age they are at to Trick or Treat, they seem to have grown up a lot since last year.
Sunday afternoon I had everyone dress up again, so we could pretend it was Halloween and I could get some pictures! So, pretend this is what Landon wore trick or treating (he really just wore his baseball uniform, good thing I didn't buy him a costume this year!) and pretend that Addie is going up to someone's house to say "Trick or Treat!" (She can't really say that, she would just stick her hand in the bowl and grab as much as possible!) Hey, while we are at it pretend that those two boys in the bottom right hand picture are always as nice to each other as they look right there! Thanks, now I feel a lot better!
