VOTE!

Hey I want to encourage everyone to vote! This is such an important election, it is very important for all of us to excerise this right. Nathan & I did early voting this weekend and it was super fast and child-friendly (since it wasn't busy). Early voting is still available all next week, and then of course you can vote on election day as well. Anyway, just want to encourage you to vote!

OU/TX Weekend

Last weekend my family came into town for the big OU/TX game. My dad, brother, sister-in-law and I all went to the game on Saturday, and my mom stayed at the house with Abby. It was a great game and a fun time, but sadly it didn't end so great ... as OU lost to TX. SAD! Oh well, like I said we had a great time anyway.
Abby and mom had a fun day as well ... they went to the Owen's farm nearby and explored their pumpkin patch.
It was a fun weekend and we are so glad our Oklahoma relatives came to stay with us for a change! Oh Nathan went hunting with friends so he missed all the fun, but I think he had a good time on his own.

I LOVE playing outside!

I am so cool in my Uncle Zach's boots!


Reading with Aunt Whitley before bedtime.

A Fun & Busy Weekend!

We had a fun time this weekend ... went to the Fair with Nathan's work on Friday and then to the Arboretum on Saturday.

The Fair has become a tradition with Nathan's work. His company takes their entire company (30ish pp) to the Texas State Fair each fall on a Friday morning. It was lots of fun. Abby really liked the all the animals in the children's zoo. She of course was trying to climb the cages to get in there with them. My favorite part were the little piglets. They were so cute, running around playing chase. Very cute, like puppies!

Then on Saturday we had our class from church fall party at the Arboretum. Right now the Arboretum is all decked out with pumpkins. It was very pretty, and we had great weather! We had a scavenger hunt first, they divided up the families into teams. Then we all met back for a picnic lunch. It was a good time.

By the way ... we noticed this sign AFTER we let the kids play on the deer. Ooops....
