Happy Turkey Day!

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!  On Wednesday, we all headed to Giddings, TX to spend time out at Chad & Kelly's new land!  We had so much fun looking at the cows, playing horse-shoes, fishing, shooting guns and skeet, and of course, eating a ton of yummy food!

 Jackson LOVED the cows…he kept pointing at them and "moo-ing!"

 Having fun riding around in the Jeep


 More cows Pa Pa!!

 Moooooo!!!

We just want to thank everyone for such a terrific, Thanksgiving holiday!  It was so special and we all had a blast!!  We have so much to be thankful for this year and always!  We are so thankful for our amazing families, friends, health, and all of our abundant blessings!  Happy Thanksgiving!

The Children's Festival

We took Jackson to The Woodlands Children's Festival in early November.  There were a ton of booths with fun crafts, a petting zoo, and concerts!  Jackson wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he was such a good sport! :)

 Where are we?  Haha!!

We are so excited about going back next year when Jackson can participate in all the crafts and other fun things! :)

Happy Halloween!

We had such a fun Halloween "week!"  Haha!  Lots of fun get-togethers, festivals, and of course trick-or-treating!  We started the week with our neighborhood's "Trail of Treats" festival.  We walked around to a bunch of booths, playing games and getting candy!

Happy Halloween!

During the week, we had a play date at the park and painted pumpkins with my friend, Aleah, and her little boy, Ethan!

 Chasing Ethan up the slide?

 Buddies!

 Getting ready to paint (no paint on the paint brush yet)! :)

 Painting the pumpkins!  (Jackson did pretty good for his first "art project!")

Then it was Friday, Halloween night!  We set out to do a little trick-or-treating and saw a bunch of our friends and their little ones!  Jackson did so great walking up to the doors and picking out his treats!  Haha!

 A little lion and zebra!

Then to finish the week, we headed to College Station for another Aggie game!  We bundled up, because it was really chilly, and watched the Ags beat UL Monroe!  Whoop!



My sweet boys! :)

Happy Halloween!  Can't wait until next year!!
