Fair night

We took the kids to the fair and rodeo her in town. I think they liked the rodeo the best but maybe that's because we wouldn't let them ride any rides. Aside from how expensive it is, I'm not real sure how safe those rides can be, so we just decided against any rides. We ate fair food, went through a few exhibits, took a few pictures and enjoyed all the cowboys at the rodeo. It was a lot of fun and I think we had the best looking crew of cowboys and a cowgirl around, along with Teague, who decided his halloween shirt was a must wear to the fair!!

Birthday weekend

For the boys' birthdays we took them to Medieval Times.  They had all been there once before so it wasn't a brand new experience, but they all had a good time, I think.  The boys always watch all the fighting with such intensity and Teague was hilarious with his facial expressions while he was watching.  At one point, he was upset that his guy didn't win and yelled that he was going to pour his drink on that guys head for being mean!  He always has something funny to add to any situation. 

They had their picture taken with the Knight.

The birthday boys and their chicken halves.

My mom had a little birthday table set up for the boys with cakes for each of them and a little gift.

A work weekend

A few weekends back Richard and I met my parents and Amber and Taylor at my Grandparents lake house. Since they have both passed away, mom and dad wanted help going through things and cleaning things and organizing things. The first part of the day Amber and I worked in the kitchen while mom worked upstairs and the guys attempted to fix a lawn mower for 2 hours.  We didn't actually think they did anything other than talk so we had to go get a few pictures of them working hard to prove it.  By the end of the day the house had been organized and cleaned from top to bottom, the yard had been mowed and fertilized, the garage had been sorted through and since the lake was so low the guys moved all the rocks closer to the bank.  Afterwards, we got cleaned up and headed for some mexican food, which was a great way to end the day!!

13th Birthday Weekend

Baylee is now officially a teenager! For her 13th birthday she wanted to go to the Pistol Annie's concert.  We brought one of her friends and went to dinner, watched some bull riding, went to the concert, and then back to the hotel for a little bit of sleep.  It was a lot of fun and I think the girls really enjoyed it all!! 

Here is Baylee riding the saddle as the Texas Roadhouse crew sang happy birthday to her!

Before we headed back home we stopped by Tanna's baby shower. It was great to see the girls and get to celebrate Horton baby #3. Tanna's sister made her the cutest onesie for Audree Ann, in remeberance of Brittany, Tanna's sister in law and in honor of Audra, Tanna's sister.

It was a great all girls weekend!!
