Trick or Treat




We had a great time tonight at the Polks. They have a great neighborhood for trick or treating and boy did we have a crew. This is the group that remained after trick or treating. I don't know what was more funny, watching the huge group of kids converge on each house, or the line of parents taking pictures.


Scary huh?

Cowgirls




We spent some time at the park this weekend. Rob was in town coaching a cross country meet, and the meet was at a great park here in town. The girls played on the play ground until after dark waiting to see "Mr Rob." They were soo anxious to see him. I didn't get a good picture of them together, so you'll just have to imagine how much fun they had with him.




Sat morning we went to Ryan's bday party at a local stable. It was great! Taylor had a wonderful time riding Mr Stoney several times. Anabelle decided that she was too little to ride the horse, but she will when she's four.I just have to show the awesome cake that Tamara (Ryan's mom) made for the party. Don't mind the small fork mark out of the front. The birthday boy just couldn't wait.


After the party, we went next door to the petting zoo and fed the animals. Besides the goats trying to eat Anabelle's new cowboy hat, the girls really enjoyed it.

Escapee

"Girls, I'm going to jump in the shower, I'll be back in two minutes." Apparently, Anabelle saw this as her chance to escape! Little did she know I'd be walking back in the room in just thirty seconds. Not that I do that often, but it looks like those days are over.


Open House at school was last night. We got to see Taylor's class do their morning routine complete with the pledge, Monday Tuesday Wednesday song, etc. WE LOVE MRS ELIZABETH!! It was great! Anabelle even got to show us her class and introduce Taylor to Miss Kimbuhlee. Anabelle adores her!





It is not unusual for us to be playing outside when Shannon comes home from work and this was one of those days. Anabelle was in charge of "Ready Set Go" while Taylor and Shannon raced. I can't imagine where she gets her competitive spirit. He doesn't even let her win every time!?!?! SHE'S FOUR!!

Big News at the Rushing household

The good news first. Many of you probably already know, but Taylor and Anabelle are going to get a little brother or sister soon! I know that ultra sound pictures are only cool for parents, but indulge me. This is little man/woman at 14 weeks. He or she will arrive somewhere around April 11th!



Now, the not so fun news. Shannon found out Thursday morning that Regions is doing away with his entire department. There are a LOT of people who will soon be out of work, him included. We are completely trusting God to work in this. If you know Shannon, you know he tends to be better at that part than I am. :) Together, we can't wait to see what comes next. Please keep us in your prayers.

"Go Cheerleaders!"


This was Anabelle's cheer during the game yesterday. I guess the players could have used a cheer or two also. She also has been calling the hogs..."Whoooo Razowback sooie!" ...almost
