Lil Punkin Roller

Fall is by far my favorite season! I literally get giddy when I think about the cooler weather and most of all PUMPKINS!! We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Flower Mound this weekend and enjoyed seeing lots and lots of pumpkins.

Ethan had a great time climbing all over the pumpkins, and he had a BLAST trying to push them over and roll them around.

The Pumpkin Patch provided wagons that you could use to tote your pumpkins (and your kids). Ethan LOVED the wagon ride he got.

We were very happy that Nana and Opa were in town this weekend and were able to go with us to the Pumpkin Patch.


There were a ton of fun "photo ops" set up throughout the patch and they had fun things for the kids to do including; bounce houses, face painting, and hay rides.

We had a wonderful afternoon searching for the Great Pumpkin.

I Saw Miles & Miles of Texas

Last Thursday Ethan and I started our Road Trip weekend. We left Granbury and headed to Lubbock (289 miles). We got to hang out with Uncle Clay and Aunt Marcy. Friday we enjoyed spending time with our good friend Sarah and her son Brody. Brody and Ethan played and napped and Sarah & I got to catch up on life.

Friday evening we went to the South Plains Fair with Uncle Clay & Aunt Marcy. Ethan got to enjoy ALL the fun the fair has to offer. We went through the cattle, lamb, & rabbit barns and we also visited the petting zoo. Ethan LOVED seeing the animals and was not at all afraid. He even shared a kiss with some of the animals :)


He even got to ride his first "Carney" ride. He rode the carousel and enjoyed the Horrssse that moved up and down.


Saturday we woke up and met up with Sarah & Brody, and we went to the Komen Lubbock Race for the Cure. For the past several years I have gone to Lubbock to help with race day events, so this was the first year that I was a participant. I really enjoyed being able to walk with Ethan and Sarah & Brody, and all the people there to support, honor, and remember loved ones.


After the race Ethan & I started the next leg of our road trip. We headed to Wichita Falls (210 miles) to meet up with Zack. He was there for the Boot & Saddle Makers Round Up. He built his very first saddle and entered it in a contest there. I was very proud of him and what he did.
This is a picture of him with his saddle and his "guru" Wayne.


After the contest we completed the final leg of our trip back home to Granbury (134 miles). It was a great weekend and my co-pilot weathered all 633 miles like a pro!!
