I love fall in Texas! The weather is always so fantastic! It's just great to be outside! Well, on one of these fantastic fall days we met our friends Chelsey and Elliott and Denise and Gracie at the pumpkin patch. Being that Genevieve doesn't get to see her best friend Gracie on a daily basis anymore, Genevieve was thrilled to spend time with her pal! All the kids had blast on the playground, in jump houses, with the hay bales, in the petting zoo, on the wagon ride, on the tractor ride, on the pony ride and just exploring everything! And of course it was fun to pick out our own pumpkins to take home! What a fun day!
Grammie and Pappaw's neighbors invited Genevieve and Anson over for a pumpkin decorating party one night. Genevieve had a blast decorating her pumpkin and Anson's! They also enjoyed playing on the play structure, eating pizza and making new friends!
For the third year in a row we met the Rosenburgs at the zoo for the Boo at the Zoo event. This year they changed it up a little, it is no longer at night, it's all in the pavillion rather than spread out all over the zoo and is now on the weekends only. Being that it was a beautiful fall day I think everyone in town was there. But we still all had a good time! Genevieve was so excited to be able to spend the afternoon with her buddy, Max! The kids enjoyed the treat stations the best! How can you not when you get lots of candy?! They also enjoyed eating lunch, running around, dancing, playing games and decorating pumpkins. A fun time was had by all!
Genevieve and Anson love bath time! But even better is a bubble bath and even better than that is a bubble bath in mommy and daddy's big bath tub! They love to be able to move around all over the place because it's so big and they love to play with the bubbles. Here are a few pics of their last bath in our tub before our move.
Anson loves playing with his sister, but when she's at school he loves playing with her things. Here I caught him in her dress-up drawer and then reading to her baby dolls. What a cutie!
After almost four months, I'm back! We had computer problems that caused it forever to download pics and if you know me, I couldn't do a blog entry without pictures! Now our computer is working again and so finally after so much time I'm ready to update my blog. You all are going to have to bear with me because since it's been so long, I have tons to catch up on!
I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and father, Ollie, who is busy pursuing his dream to be a doctor, a mother to a sweet, but sassy five year old girl, Genevieve, and a cuddly, but demanding two year old boy, Anson. I enjoy the outdoors, soccer, reading, musicals, hiking, snowboarding, camping, swimming, the 80's, shopping, traveling (wish I could do this more often), baking, photography, animal rights, playing cards, backgammon, sudoku, Kraft macaroni & cheese, summers in Seattle, spring in New Mexico, fall in Texas, chocolate, real conversations about politics and religion with open-minded people, family walks, the smell of coffee, sunflowers, raspberries, vegetarianism, hanging out with friends and family. Life is continuously an adventure at our house!
