Pumpkin Patch with Aidan, Owen, & Mandy!!!

Pumpkin Patch.... Mommy, Leigha & Noah

Today we went to the pumpkin patch to take some pictures of ourselves and some of our friends!!! I have to say they turned out pretty cute!!!

Noah's First Loose Tooth!!! YEAH!!

Okay!!! BIG NEWS!! Noah Lost His FIRST Tooth!!! He was so excited. Noah has been waiting for almost a year now to loose a tooth. All his friends were loosing teeth and he just couldn't understand why he wasn't loosing one. This tooth had been loose for almost a month now and FINALLY decided it was time to come out. A BIG thanks to our nurse at school for pulling it out. Congratulations Noah!!!

Leigha's photos from her Photojournalism class

Leigha is taking a Photojournalism class this year in her freshman year. Here are some of her photos. She really enjoys taking pictures. I hope you enjoy the collage I made of her first pictures in this class.

Today we took the kids to buy their costumes for trick-or-treating!!! They had a blast. Leigha is going to be Wonder Woman and Noah is going to be Flash. They are going to look so cute together!!! They both tried them on as soon as we got home! Noah was going super fast all over the house like Flash and Leigha was trying to disappear like Wonder Woman. I will have to upload pics when we take them. They grow up so fast.

The Hogan/Frazier happenings

Our family just recently moved and we are loving our new house and neighborhood. The kids love to go outside and play and we can see them pretty much at all times. Beautiful Big Trees and lots of shade.

Bill is still working for the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier in Fort Worth. He loves his route and the fact that he gets to be by himself while he is carring his route. He has been helping out tremendously around the house and with the kids.

Tracie is still working for the MISD as an aide. She is teaching computer lab this year and loving it. While working and taking care of kiddos she is also going back to school to finally get her degree in education. She is a little stressed but it will all be worth it in the end.

Leigha is now a freshman... doesn't that make you feel old?? She is going to Legacy and she seems to be loving it. She is about to be on the basketball team. She was doing swimming but dropped it to do Theater. She LOVES Theater!!! It fits her personality. She is busy being a teenager...need I say more. She is very creative, artistic, and imaginative and loves zebra's at the moment.

Noah is in 1st grade and seems to LOVE school. He is growing so fast and thinks he is smarter than all of us. What is sad is ... at times he is!! He is a pleaser and wants to make everyone happy. Noah plays soccer and LOVES it. He has so much energy it is hard to keep up with him. He loves to read and pretend... he has such an imagination!!! He is a mama's boy but is becoming a daddy's boy lately.

New Mexico Summer 2008 Vacation family Generations

This summer we went to Ruidoso, New Mexico to Tracie's grandparents cabin with the kids, Tracie's parents and grandparents. Here are some pictures of 2nd, 3rd, & 4th generations. We had a great time. We visited White Sands, Nasa Museum in Alamagardo, Carlsbad Caverns, Smokey the Bear Museum, El Capitan, Living National Dessert, and Lincoln (Billy the Kid). The kids had a blast and the scenery was just absolutely beautiful!!!
