Fall afFair

We ran them ragged this weekend.  We took the kids to the Texas State fair.  It was PERFECT fall weather.

There weren't many crowds on Friday morning.

Mandy brought Hunter to hang with us.  He is FEARLESS!

Love us some Mando!

We stayed to see the Lion King, and did not leave the park until almost 8 p.m.!  There was not one melt down to be had.  We are JUST about to the stage where we can all go and do as a fam...FINALLY!

Early Saturday morning, we drove to Waco for Baylor's homecoming.  Hubs went to Baylor. (I know it's confusing because we are Razorbacks too, but if you grew up in Arkansas you understand...)  The kids had never been, so we spent the day there.  Beautiful campus and beautiful day!

We had to lie down for a while after all that walking!  

The girls climbed a really tall wall at the game.  I couldn't believe Mary's strength and determination!

The bears blew it out!  They are ranked #6 as of today.  Wow!  Apparently we picked the right year to go back!

Friday night foto fun

 Once again, I'm learning to say "yes" more.  

I mean why would I spend $5 for the girls to pile into a photo booth at the mall when I can take pics with my phone all the day long?

That

is

why.

My blog is barely breathing!   

We've had a lot of fun this past month.  We had dear friends that we only see once a year come visit a couple of weeks ago.

The kids had a BLAST!  

And so did the big kids.  We caught up from the last year, and we ate way too much food.  It is so good to laugh with friends.  

Another couple came too, but they were here for just a night.  I didn't get their pic! Shoot.  

Anyway, the point is, Shane (the other friend who came) shared with us that he has the opportunity to be on Jeopardy AGAIN.  It's the battle of the decades and he's your NINETY's dude.  So go vote for our friend to play again!

This past weekend we went to a Family Matters Conference in Jackson Hole, WY.  

The colors and the mountains...wow.

We saw a heard of Bison, so what does Hubs do? 

He runs toward them.  There he is...way off in distance.  

It snowed quite a bit the first night!

Funny group!!! We had such a great time together. 

When the snow cleared out, it warmed up and we hiked up the ski slopes.  That was a first!

We ran into these guys. Yikes.

This was the scenery right in front of our lodge.  

It was great to get away!

We saw some beautiful scenery but we also heard great truth from Tim Kimmel of Family Matters Ministries.

He taught on several topics but one was from his new book, Grace Filled Marriages.

I can't wait to read the whole thing.  Good stuff!

Happy #13 to you hubs!

Thankful.
