Dallas Arboretum

Pierce loved the pumpkins, especially moving them around.

Anytime there is hay, Pierce loves it. He loves to play with it and then in this instance, jumping off of it into more of it.

Pierce loves to fish and this fish pond with this rock was the perfect place to pretend to fish.

The "daddy dear" with "horns" was very interesting to Pierce.

After the adventure, with in 5 minutes of riding in the car, Pierce passed out.

With our trip to Lubbock we decided to also stop by the Arboretum in Dallas. It was so beautiful and all the pumpkins were amazing. We had a great time there and got to see J's mom as well which was nice. 10/29

Go Tech Go

For our vacation this year we headed to Lubbock to watch a Tech game. We had Pierce so excited about Tech that every time he saw a double T or even red he would get his guns up and say "Go Tech Go" over and over again. So we were so excited to take him there. We went to the game and actually got to stay there for the whole game (had to do some bribing with food for that though), went to 50th Street Caboose and One Guys (of course brought some calzones home). Lubbock has changed so much since we were back last - it is crazy! Hopefully we will go back sooner than later. GO TECH! 10/26-10/27

Too sweet

This face is just too sweet! This park was amazing and we had a blast playing with our friends. 10/19

Pumpkin Patch Visits

Pierce really enjoyed the trips to the pumpkin patch - especially playing on all the different props. This tractor was a hit! 10/13

As you see another tractor made from hay at another pumpkin patch was a hit again! 10/15

And again, a tractor kept Pierce entertained for an hour or more. 10/15

News in Austin

As many of you have heard the big news here in Austin, we are expecting our second child. The due date is 5/5/08. We are all very excited!

Silly times

Pierce never seems to have a day where he doesn't make us laugh. Here is a picture of one day where he had to wear glasses - and not just any glasses - Mr Potato head's glasses! And then had to wear them to climb a ladder.

Labor Day - Let's head to the Waco Zoo

For Labor Day we decided to make a road trip up to the Waco Zoo. We weren't sure what to expect, but we heard it was a great zoo. Pierce was so excited to go! We will have to say the zoo is very nice and for what you get to see and how much there is to do it is a great zoo - and it is a great price to get in! Pierce barely sat in his stroller the whole time we were there - he wanted to walk everywhere. He loved all the animals! We will definitely be going back!

What is so much fun is that through out the zoo, they have little places for the kids to play, slide, etc. Pierce had a blast. Here he is sliding down a slide from a tree house.

Pierce loved the giraffes. Kept talking about their long necks. What a smarty!
