Kansas Visit

We took our annual Kansas trip over Thanksgiving this year. The kids did great in the car both ways. They enjoyed the stops, new toys and a few movies. The weather was wonderful going up there, we had pretty good weather while we were there too. Coming home though was a mess. Rain, Icy and very cold. Took us about 12 hours to get to Kansas and about 16 hours to get home. 

We had fun hanging out with family and taking a trip to the Kansas City zoo, which if you haven't been to I recommend going if you are there. It was amazing and I can't wait to take the kids back again. It was great seeing family and enjoying Thanksgiving together. Until next time....

Jaxon's dinosaur face

Beautiful weather driving up

Time for some lego building

One of many naps

Polar Bear. One of the best attractions at the zoo

Free roaming Kangaroos

Jaxon loved being this close to the snake

Pushing sissy

He would have stayed in the penguin exhibit looking at
these fish all day if we would have let him.

Not a fan of the carousal this time

I sure miss having Hippos at the Houston zoo

Kelbie wanted to take this little thing home 

Way past nap time

Happy Thanksgiving

This was the best I could get of the 3 of them

This was what it looked like after we made it to Oklahoma City

He was done and ready to be home, unfortunately
 we had a long way ahead of us

Southminster Fall Fest

Fall Fest at Kelbie's school had to be rescheduled due to the nasty weather we have been having in Texas. The kids had a blast. There were a lot of new games this year. Both we sad that they did not have bounce houses this year because of the weather, but they enjoyed themselves.

She got very into bowling

Jaxon would have stayed at the soccer station all day

I thought the live dinosaurs they brought in would be a hit with the kids since they both love watching Jurassic Park, but the pictures tell it all. They were both terrified and couldn't get away fast enough.

Priceless face

A snow cone makes everything better

And fishing for ducks

Misc Halloween Adventures

Since Kelbie spent the night with the Cousins, Jaxon got to go the store with me. He enjoyed a free cookie and then he found the Hulk mask. I could not even take him serious with that on. He loves it and asks to wear it everyday. He sure is a handsome Hulk though.

We had to get a Spider man for sissy so she didn't feel left out.

Every year we do a Character parade at school the last Friday in October. This year we were crayons. As was half of our school, but that's okay. We looked cute and had fun being crayons.

Ihop had free spooky face pancakes the night before Halloween, so we took advantage of it and went to get Breakfast for dinner. The kids seemed to enjoy them. Jaxon was more into the bacon though.
