Happy 7th Birthday!!

Happy 7th birthday to our big boy! We
love you so much!

Disguise the Turkey

Aaron's class was given a project of
disguising a turkey so that he is not dinner
on thanksgiving.  He chose to disguise
his turkey as a tiger cub scout.  I think he
did a great job!  He said some of this other
friends chose a mermaid, a basketball player,
a dancer, and a deer!

2014 Texas Renaissance Festival

This weekend we took a quick trip to Houston to attend
the Renaissance Festival.  Notice that we reused our
halloween costumes as well.  Andrew and I went to the
festival about 12 years ago so we were excited to go
back and this time take the kids! We all had so much fun
watching the jousting event and the birds of prey show.
There were rides for the kids and lots of shops to look in.

Avery had her hair braided ... mommy really wishes she
could braid her hair!

There was also lots and lots of good food to eat.  One
of our favorite things was the kettle corn!

Houston Zoo

We decided to spend the morning at the Houston Zoo
before heading back home... and we get in free since
we have a membership to the BR zoo.  This zoo was really
great and it was a beautiful morning to see animals.

Sweet Baby Jackson

Uncle Jake surprised  us with a quick
visit with cousin Jackson! We were all
so excited to see our sweet baby.  Here
are a few attempts to get some pictures
while he was visiting.

Happy Early Birthday!

Pop Pop, JuJu, Uncle Jake, and
Jackson came to visit us on election
day since the kids were out of school.

They brought Aaron a birthday cake
and present for a early birthday
celebration since we really haven't
planned anything for his birthday this
year...mainly because he won't decide
what he wants to do.

Throwback to Halloweens Past

2008-2014

Trick or Treat Fun!

This year for trick or treating we were
joined by Aaron's best buddy Jackson
and his mom and sisters. Keeping with
our family tradition of costumes we went
with the renaissance theme this year... only
because we are also going to the Texas
Renaissance Festival so our costumes will
get to uses this year.

We went to the church down the street
again this year for their trunk or treat and
then walked the neighborhood for more
treats. We have WAY to much candy in
this house at the moment!

Happy Halloween!

Aaron had Storybook Character Dress up
at school for Halloween... he chose Waldo
and that worked out great since we were able
to reuse our costume from last year.  Avery
wore a halloween dress that Rebecca handed down
to her.  They look so cute!
