Just some work fun!

Well today was Halloween. Our VP(flavor flav in the pic) wanted us to do a contest. We had a lot of folks join in the fun. We had a redneck bride, a french maid, bride of chucky, bubba hefner, GI Jane(that was me), a cereal killer, little redding hood. First place went to our engineering manager. He's the one in the pink dress. He walked and talked the part great. He made us girls mad because he looked a lot better in his dress than we ever would. We had a lot of fun.

Playing outside

Saturday morning we were able to spend some time out and about. The horses were happy to see us. They just love when the green scoop comes out. They know they get some good treats when they see that. The red horse is Maverick, dun horse is Sadie, Nathan's baby, and the donkey is Strips. In the last pic Strips was getting mad because he wasn't get enough food and Nate almost lost his seat.

Meet the newest addition-Layla Hoke

This is our new baby! We got her last Sat from a rescue shelter in Conroe. She is a boxer. Nathan found her on-line. For the most part she is a good dog. She is learning to listen better with the help of some treats. Last night we tried to help her out a little by putting socks on her feet. We have slippery wood floors, not so good for doggy feet. She didn't like it much. She had us rolling laughing with the way she was trying to walk around. I wish I could have gotten video of it.

Brandon sent us a few pics from the desert. We don't like seeing him with the gun but he needs it for protection. He sounds good and seems to be ok so far. He has been able to call and email pretty often. That makes it a lot easier on the family. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

Pray for our Soldier!

Nathan's brother, Brandon is in the US Air Force as a Flight Chief. He was deployed on Monday for Afghanistan. Nathan talked to him several times on this journey. Please pray that God puts a hedge of protection around him and his comrades. He will be over there for about 4 months.

Go Away Gustav!

Well so much for our horse breaking demo. We had to cancel it due to Gustav. Nathan got a phone call late this afternoon and he was told that the Madison County Fair grounds was going to be one of the many refueling stations. Which means we were kicked out!! The National Guard will be making post there tomorrow. They will be there ready with fuel trucks to go where ever needed. I guess they are making sure we don't have another mad house like we had 3 years ago. That was crazy! Ya'll remember that. Cars going North on I-45 in all 4 lanes. One of my co-workers, Brandy, brought a video camera to work and interviewed everyone about what they were seeing. I live in Huntsville and it was a mess. Folks fighting over gas, people parked all along 45 because they had run out of gas. I hope it doesn't come to that again.

We hope to reschedule the demo very soon. A lot of hard work was put into this for it not to happen. Hope everyone stays safe over the weekend!!
