Even More Pumpkins

Today Shelley and I took the kids for our yearly trip to see the pumpkins. We have been doing this since we had our first babies in 2008. That year was so simple. Cooper and Jax were just babies that were not walking yet so Shelley and I just walked and talked and took a few pictures of 2 boys that had to just sit there because they could not get up and go. And then we enjoyed a great quiet tea sandwich lunch at the restaurant there. Oh how things have changed since then. Now we go and we have 4 kids to round up and they all walk and run and never want to stay with us and lunch is now on a blanket in the grass where the kids can run and play while we beg them to sit and eat. Wow time goes by so fast.



Here is a picture of the boys from todays adventure

And here they are from 2008.



Big Pumpkin Patch

Nana and Papa came up this past weekend to see the kids and watch Cooper not play his blastball game (that is a blog all to its self) so I thought it would be fun to take them to a pumpkin patch to do something with the kids. Trey never gets to go to the patches either because we go during the week so it was good that we all went this year. Here are some pics of our afternoon.








More Pumpkins

Last week we went back to the Arboretum with our friends Melissa and Addy. They have a year pass so we got to go with them and get in for free. Yeah for that!! Once again the kids ran around the pumpkins, did the petting zoo, we begged for pictures and then we had a picnic. here are a couple of pictures that turned out good.



State Fair

Off we went for some corney dogs and funnel cake oh and whatever else we could get that was fried. the state fair was fun again this year. the kids got to see and feed a lot of animals and then we went to the car show and ate a lot of stuff in between there and then off to ride a few rides. Trey and Cooper did the log ride and then trey and jacob were crazy and did a ride that went upside down and was spinning. And so that Ryleigh could ride something we did the carousel. Which she never wants to get off when it is over. here are some pics with us and big tex




Nat Dog

Trey's brother Nathan came to visit from Chicago for a couple of days and the kids loved seeing him. Trey and I did too. It has been a while since the kids had seen him so it was a great visit.


Pumpkin Time

Its time for all those pictures with the big orange balls as Cooper will call them from time to time. First trip to see some pumpkins was with meme. We went to the dallas arboretum and had fun playing in the pumpkins and having a nice picnic. Here are some pictures of our day.






Another Cru Win!!!!!!
