Visit to the Pumpkin Patch!!

Yesterday, before my parents had to leave back to SD, we all went to the Dallas Arbortem for the fall festival. Sara, Daniel, and Marina weren't able to go because Marina was just getting over her first cold: (
This place was so beautiful, it is right next to a lake and it is covered with gardens and fountains. We spent about 3 hours walking around looking at the pumpkins, going on a hay ride, going through a kid maze, and taking lots of pictures. I saw so many little babies there getting their pictures in the pumpkin patch, it made me excited for next year...when we can be doing that!!

Kim and I didn't realize that they turned the bush into a pumpkin!! Of course, my dad had to turn this into a blonde joke: )

Texas State Fair and Marina's Birthday!!

It was such a busy week! I am so glad we had three days off ( Monday was fair day). My parents got in to TX late Saturday night, and we have been enjoying spending time with them. Sunday was Marina's 1st birthday! She was adorable, as usual: ) She got so many fun presents. I can't believe she is already one!
On Monday, Brent, my parents, Braedon, and I went to the TX state fair in Dallas. It was a rainy day, which turned out nice, because there wasn't as many people there. Braedon loved riding the ferris wheel and playing games. I tried playing a couple of games too...because I swear I am like a little kid...I ended up losing the water squirt gun game 3 times! I told everyone that I would win...whoops: ) We had so much fun!
Last night the family stayed up late watching the Vikings! That was such an awesome game ( a little lucky too)!
