Homecoming 2014

Once again we had a full week at Homecoming. Clint took the boys to the Harvest Carnival.  They had a blast.  We didn't make it last year, but when we went two years ago Beau ended up on the front page of the Stillwater News Press.  This year, a picture from Sawyer at the carnival in 2012 ended up on the home page for OSU homecoming.

On Friday afternoon, the Faughts showed up, including newborn baby Savannah.  We all headed to walk around and met up with the Stark family.  It was packed, but still a lot of fun.  And it was a completely gorgeous night.  When we got home the Campbells arrived.  Ashley was 30 weeks pregnant and a trooper to make the trip.  That night the Johannes brothers showed up and all the guys including neighbor Will hung out around the fire until long after I went to bed.

Saturday was 90 degrees!  Clint decided everyone needed to tailgate.  He dragged Taylor, Ashley (very pregnant), and Shawn all the way across campus dragging all their gear.  I think they had fun and learned some tailgating tips.  They had a great time tailgating on Old Central lawn. They bought tickets and enjoyed a disappointing game.

Julie and I watched all the kiddos.  Truthfully they entertained themselves and we just sat around.  It was so nice and it gave us hope that someday we will have more and more relaxing time.  I had bought a ton of Halloween and fall crafts.  Shepherd worked all day long and completed about 20 of them.  He is such a determined kid.  Clint, Taylor, Ashely and Shawn showed up at 7:00 with a ton of fried chicken.  Ashley was such a sport to be a DD and hang with the guys all day long.  We watched the Kansas City Royals in the World Series then went to bed pretty early (6 kids, a newborn, a postpartum mama, and two pregnant ladies will do that to you).
