Fall Arboretum Trip 2015

I took Tammy and her kids to see the pumpkins at the arboretum.  They thought it was very cool.  It was sort of a gloomy day which was nice because the temperature was not hot.

Max used my phone to get a picture of Maryn

And a picture of Momma

my kids!



She was rarely in the stroller during this trip.  Maxwell was in it more than she was.  She was all about being independent and walking by herself.

Silly grape faces



I have a picture of her in this same spot last year as a baby



Those curls!


Preston pushed Maxwell around nearly everywhere.  He was a much-more-fun driver than I would have been.  ;)

It was a lot of fun!  Still love the Arboretum!

Last visitors of the month - Aunt Tammy's Family

When we go to Utah, we always stay with my Aunt Tammy and her family so we were excited to finally be able to return the favor and have them come stay with us!!!

Emmalyn immediately warmed up to Ethan - he's so slick with the ladies.  :)
Ethan and Nathan were going to be in Austin for most of the time so we enjoyed having them around the first night.

Going to swimming lessons to watch Maxwell

Maxwell was really happy to have his buddy Maryn around.

Maryn went to Kindermuisk class with Emmalyn and I.  :)  I just love this girl.

Creeping around like a cat

Story Time

Preston played with both my boys...
Lots of soccer and Wii with Maxwell and then Destiny with Peter

We then took a trip to the Arboretum (minus Peter) - - - all those pics will be in the next post

We took Tammy, Preston, and Maryn out for some good BBQ.

Our pumpkins finally made it onto the porch.

The boys

Everyone has to give goodnight hugs to Emmalyn...Preston...

...Maryn...

...Hayden...

...Dad...


...Aunt Tammy - whoops binky is still in

That's better - no binky

Balloons = cheap, easy fun!

We even got one late night of games

Also this weekend, I went to the annual Halloween party thrown by our neighbors Chris and Mary Ann.  Peter didn't go this year, it was just me.  I was a pirate - good luck finding me in this "where's waldo" type picture.

The morning that they departed for the airport, Maxwell and Maryn made the most of their last time together and Maryn climbed into bed with Max once he woke up.  Max is going to be so lonely without them!


We enjoyed our time with their family tremendously.  There was lots of fun,great conversations, and HAPPINESS.  Thanks for coming to visit us Tammy, Nathan, Ethan, Preston, and Maryn!!!
