Our cousins came to visit!

The Houston Ellisons came to visit, and we all had a great time. The adults had fun visiting and catching up, and the little ones had a great time running, playing, snacking, and being with each other!

We enjoyed a lazy Saturday morning eating breakfast and lounging in our pajamas.

Then we spent some time outside playing with the bubble machine...

Time for some dinner.

"Woohoo!!"

Doesn't every family enjoy some after dinner dancing?

And after dinner, of course you have to run a few laps in the house.  Here's #1...

#2...

and #3!

Sweet cousins.

Out for breakfast on Sunday...

And then home for a little more playtime before Emily and Nathan headed back to Houston.

Howdy folks, welcome to the State Fair of Texas!

We went for our annual fair trip with the Husligs and had a great time! Jack enjoyed riding rides, eating a corny dog and ice cream, and seeing Big Tex.

The kids are ready to hit the Kids Way!

Whoa, look at that ride.

Our first round on Winky the Whale.

And then another round with Daddy!

"Dad, this is the best!"

Time for a corny dog!

"Mmmmm."

Who doesn't need an ice cream after a corny dog?

We're lucky we got a picture with Big Tex when we did.  He burned down just a week later.

Such sweet friends...

Being silly!  It was a great day at the fair!

Playtime with Makenna

The Husligs came over for dinner a couple of weeks ago, so I bought some fun fall stuff for Jack and Makenna to do. They painted pumpkins and made Halloween cookies. It was a fun night!

Fall Decorating

After our visit to the nursery for pumpkins, it was time to decorate the front porch. Jack was quite the helper!

Racing Daddy to the porch!

Get a pumpkin out of the car...

And now off to find the perfect spot for it.

Even helpers have time for a picture.

"I'm gonna get you Daddy!"

Where's Jack?

Boo!

Now where's Jack and Dad?

Love that boy!
