Cowboy up! We didn't even know if we'd make the Heritage Fest in our little community but we thought we'd go support my mom who's selling her book. While there, the kids saw there was face painting done by a local Vet clinic. Vivian got to ask questions from a girl I grew up with, who attended Texas A&M, and is now working with animals every day. She had stars in her eyes. After we went by the petting zoo which was rockin' this year! Enjoy the slideshow.

Daddy Times- a first haircut

Daddy's attempt to save a few bucks...he gives Isaac his first attempt at a haircut. Not bad! I will have to keep this in mind!

So for years my sister and I got together and went to the zoo, and the museums, and parks with our girls. Now those big girls are in 2nd and 1st grade so we now have two little boys and we decided we would venture to the zoo with them. It was really my nephews first trip there. It is hard for me to face sometimes that my kids are getting bigger and "outgrowing" some things. We did ask my mom to renew our membership for one more year to the zoo so I want to take advantage as much as possible but this is probably it. Enjoy this slideshow.

Birthday Party Fun

Here are a couple of shots that daddy took as he gets to endure part of the party train that goes on this time of year. On Sundays, daddy is responsible to get these two sweeties to friends birthday bashes, keep up with them, and maybe even snap a shot or two. I just thought this was pretty cool pics of the two kiddos at one of Isaac's friends' Claire's birthday party with a pony!

This year we decided to try and beat the crowds and headed to our local pumpkin patch the first weekend in October. We were blessed with a very chilly day which meant perfect weather for strolling through pumpkins, enjoying kettle corn, and avoiding crowds and crowds of people. Thank you to my sweet family for braving the cold with us. Fun times!

Aggieland Here We Come!

Last weekend, Nick and I got to go to our first Aggie game since we graduated!! We got a list minute invite from some friends Shaun and Brooke and went for it. We got to have a great time with our friends reliving memories. It was really cool getting reacquainted with A&M. It looks really different so much so that I had a hard time remembering how it looked when we were there. Plenty of old traditions remained but so much newness. Thank you to our friends for the invite and great seats at the game. Thank you to Kerri and Daniel for your generosity in hosting us. Your place was truly breathtaking! What a treasure in the middle of such a busy season.

Back to School Carnival

As we get back into school mode, we also get to celebrate quite a bit. Our school does it right with a fun carnival the kids always have a blast at. This year, I was able to really enjoy it and give the kids a little more freedom. I did however spend too much on too many tickets, but we made a memory. I think that's worth a lot to me!
