Super September Highlights!! Texas & More!

Dinner Cruise in Hagerman with Steve & Emily. (Highly recommended) Helps to be with great company!




Sock Monkeys....Gotta love 'em! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a group shot of all the monkeys!



Twin Falls County Fair & Rodeo!



Alyvia's first day of pre-school. Kind of a sad picture huh. She has just loved going to pre-school and is learning so much. It's pretty fun that we get to walk every day!


Our friends Steve and Emily's new baby Sage.


Camping in the back yard with the Batemans! Why have we not figured this out before now?!




Our Texas Trip!! Just a few highlights!

Spending time with Chad & Tay and their family was so great it's not something we get to do every day and sometimes every year. Getting to pick Parker up for school was a highlight for Brady because he got to hold the little sign and make fun of the lady with the mega phone. Our kids got some quality time with both Grandparents while we were gone and we appreciate them so much for keeping them!!




Here's a lizard we found in one of their bushes.

Here are Chad and Tay's cute boys; Parker, Talmage, & Cannon playing in the spray park down town Woodlands. That night we enjoyed the best milk shakes ever and checked out down town right where Chad works. What an amazing place.




This was at the Kema boardwalk near Houston. Here we rode the scariest roller coaster of my life! I love roller coasters, but this one took the cake. We also got to pet and feed the sting rays. It took Tay and I a few tries, something about it was kinda freaky!





The Friday we were there we got an super great dinner appointment with a very special Elder. My Bro!!! A few weeks before we left, Brady emailed Brian's mission president to let him know we'd be right there visiting family. He asked if we would like to take him to dinner. Crazy!! He's been out a year, but it felt like we'd just seen him a week ago. We had such a great evening with him, his companion and Sister and Whitney Sinclair (some friends of their's) He's so lucky to have such an awesome companion! I sure hope the next year goes just as fast.



The day before we headed home, we took in a Texas A&M Game. What a blast!! This was no ordinary college football game. Brady was right....You have to see it to believe it!!

Oh man! How fun. I am so glad you guys got to go and see them. Visiting family is the best. Don't get me wrong having everyone together is SO fun but one on one time is awesome too. And a weekend with your sis! Awesome! So good to see what you guys have been up to!
