Thanksgiving in Texas: East Texas

Thanksgiving Trip to Texas

East Texas

16 Nov 2014

Jordyn was so exhausted after church, this poor girl was paralized.

 17 Nov 2014

 Reading with Nona

 Jordyn talking to Grandpa Steve

Upture County Land, Tree Farm

 We love coming to this place. Aaron pulled the boat out on the lake a caught some fish with Jax while Jordyn and I tended to the fire.

 Dad has the magic touch! He puts this girl to sleep anywhere, and she sure loves her Daddy!

Austin's Home

19 Nov 2014

It was so fun to see these two cousins together. 

Jordyn and Quorra Austin. 

Then we headed to this really fun playground where Jax tried to keep up with Gavin. 

So funny! I missed the best part while Melinda tried to get up in the swing, but she did it! Grandma's still got her swing!

 Grandma Kisses!

Melinda, Aaron and Laura

Jax loved Gavin's cool toys! We had a blast at the Austin's and already miss them!

Fall Leaves

Fall Leaves

8 November 2014

 Dad was outside one night raking all the leaves and Jax and Jordyn decided to help.

 Of course it became a fun game!

 Love these cuties!

Happy Halloween

October 2014

This is Jordyn when we found a dragon costume while getting out the Halloween decorations.

19 Sep 2014

Krispy Cream gave away a dozen donuts to people dressed as pirates and it took some convincing but Jax and I where the only ones to dress up. But hey we got 2 dozen!

October 2014

I cried this day...Jordyn fell out of a swing and chipped her tooth. I was so concerned with the cut on her lip I didn't realize she had  a chipped tooth till we got home. My poor baby, no wonder why she was crying so long, she's normally so tough. She since has had it fixed, THANK YOU to dentists!!!

Trunk-or-Treat

29 October 2014

I was excited that 1. the costumes I made turned out as well as they did and 2. that Jordyn wore her Tinker bell wings.

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell 

Jax, Jordyn & Alice Bishop

If you can't tell I was a pirate.

Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch

 We drove all the way out to Boone Hall's Pumpkin Patch and realized they closed in 1/2 hour...lame!

At least we got to wander around a really cute pumpkin patch =)

 Jordyn was upset that she couldn't pick up the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Carving

 Another year of pumpkin carving! I love Jordyn's face in this pic!

Yes, Daddy usually does most of the work. Our kids are not that into pumpkin brains yet...maybe one more year?

And the finished product...Frankenstein!!!
