Texas Trip

    The kids had a four day weekend off of school, and Joey decided it would be a great weekend to visit his brother in Texas.  He wanted to just fly and get to spend some quality time with his brother without all of us to distract them.  Ashlyn wanted to go along so she could spend some time with her cousins, Owen and Blaine.  They were only gone a few days, but they said they had a great time and got to spend lots of quality time with Adam, Jane and the boys.  They even went to a pumpkin patch that Ashlyn said was a lot of fun. 

Joey and Ashlyn got to get Coffee Bean at DIA.  Jealous!!!

Ashlyn was not amused her Uncle Adam made her eat chicken,  Clearly, she ate a big portion!  

Ashlyn got to hang out with the boys while Aunt Jane worked one of the big Friday night football games.

Watching the game

Patrick Mahomes went to the high school Jane works at.  She was his trainer in high school which I think is the coolest thing ever.  They are very proud of their claim to fame as they should be!!!

Checking out the animals

Blaine is a natural! 

Love that adorable face!!!

Not sure why Ashlyn looks so happy here

Looking for pumpkins

She found a good one

The brothers

We requested that they bring home our favorite cookies from Texas.  They made sure they were well protected on the ride to the airport.  

Anderson Farms

      The kids had a four day weekend, and we decided to take advantage of it.  Joey and Ashlyn were in Texas, so we decided to get out of town for the night.  We headed up to Denver in the evening and stayed the night in a hotel.  The kids got to swim which they always like to do.  Emmy was not used to sleeping in a pack and play, and she slept really badly that night.  I did not get a lot of sleep, but we had a fun day planned for the next day.
   We were off to Anderson Farms.  We had been to Anderson Farms a few years prior and we really enjoyed it.  It is quite a drive, so we don't go every year.  It was a perfect fall day and we had a great time exploring all they had to offer.  They have a massive corn maze that we attempted to explore.  Gracie started to have a meltdown while we were looking, so we had to find something else to do.  There was a lots of fall fun to be had and we all left very tired! 

Ready for some fun

Getting tall! 

Why must they grow so fast???

Gracie LOVED this jump pad

Emmy trying it out

Emmy loved jumping too

These tractor cars were so hard to pedal.  They required so much leg strength! 

Emmy at 22 Months

  Hard to believe that our littlest princess is almost two years old!!!!  She is such a joy in everyone's eyes.  She is such a sweet girl and she loves to be the center of attention.  She does and says the funniest things that always has us laughing.  She is talking more and more every day.  We sure love watching our girl grow. 

She LOVES taking baths.  

At lunch with Daddy

Another lunch date

She is the world's biggest Daddy's girl

Joey used some creepy face app to make him look old  He looks just like his dad  

Joey bundled her up and took her outside to play in the snow for the first time.  She loved it!  

Clearly she watches her mom run a lot on the treadmill!
