Pumpkins!

We've been so busy, we hadn't had a chance to get out to the pumpkin patch yet this year.  We finally went this week with my parents and had a great time!  It was sooo warm that day and the wind was blowing like crazy, but it was nice.  Lawson got a couple of pumpkins, we took a nice long hayride and we got to feed some fun animals. 

As is becoming the norm, I'll post a preview picture and then direct you to the photo album on Facebook.

State Fair of Texas

I hadn't been to the State Fair of Texas since middle school in the late 1980s, so this was a fun treat for me, as well as Lawson.  He loved every minute of it, from the food to the music to the animals and tractors...  We really had the most wonderful day!  It was the last day the Fair is open and the weather was beautiful so the crowds were a bit overwhelming, but we managed just fine. 

Once again, I'll direct you to the Facebook album I have, but I'll give you a preview of some of my favorite pictures here:

Birthday Fun!

Lawson's birthday party went off beautifully!  It was a gorgeous day, which was perfect for my outdoor party plan.  8 friends showed up with parents and a few older siblings, so we had quite a crowd here!  The kids had a great time running around outside as well as playing with Lawson's toys inside - we didn't need a lot of fancy games.  He got a ton of great presents and was just so excited to have the day be all about him. 

I worked really hard on his cake and was pretty pleased with how it turned out.  Thomas's face got a little messy, but Lawson was so thrilled about it and it was certainly a conversation piece at the party! 

We took a crazy amount of pictures and I narrowed down the list a bit, but it's still too many to post here.  I'll direct you to the Facebook photo album to see them all.  Enjoy!

I also included pictures from our trip to the Dallas Zoo last weekend when Brad was in town.  It was so fun!
