Highlights from Grandma's Visit...

Here are the big highlights from Grandma's visit last week...

Jackson's 1st trip to the Ft. Worth Museum....Love the 3 generation pictures!

Counting each step...

We really should not have started our visit here...Jackson didn't want to leave.

Looks like our next house need a train track like this...

Those two....Love them!

I have to say, I liked it!!!  If you haven't been throught it, go check it out.

Jackson sliding down (I believe) a tongue...

Something to jump off of, and wheels to turn...BONUS!

Like father, like son...had to touch every color.

Thanks to Uncle Mark, and Aunt Jen Jen, we were not only able to see the circus, but see it in the suite and the AAC.  Maren took two of her friends, and all the kids (including me) had a blast!

Ta Da!!!  What a fun show.  I know Jackson sure loved his first Circus!

A Kendall Jackson Paint Date

I'm Back!!! We've been so busy, and have done quite a bit this summer, I didn't know where to begin a blog post. So I thought this would be a great start. Our sweet friends Hayley, and her daughter Kendall came over for a fun 'pinterest inspired' date. Here is what the kids created...

The Papa Murphy Experience

Matthew and I have come to love Papa Murphy's. If you haven't tried it, please do yourself a favor and try the BEST take and bake pizza...
So Friday night we called in our usual order, and decided to add a mini murphy kids pizza for Jackson to try. Here's how that went...

The pizza kit comes with a tattoo...and yes J let daddy put it on.

Gnismer Farms

This past Friday Jackson and I joined a group of stroller moms at Gnismer Farms to pick our own pumpkins! What a treat this was to take a tractor ride through the fields looking for pumpkins. Jackson was so excited for this, and I loved seeing through his eyes. Here's some great pictures from our day...

My sweet friend Hayley and I on the hay ride...


So many pumpkins to find...

Jackson found a good one!

I LOVE this picture....so sweet.
