@ Ray Robert's Lake 
State Park
{Nov. 9th & 10th}
 Most fun weekend in a long time!!
Our family loves camping SOOOO much. It was Brend's first time and I think he loved it the most. We all love getting dirty, and sleeping outside, and making a fire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows, and EXPLORING nature. There's something about camping that melts all your worries away. Very refreshing! And one of the best parts of the weekend was being with the Garza's for two days!! We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  



 Brendon was wet up to his knees within no time, and was covered in dirt about 30 seconds after we got to our campsite. :)


 This boys could throw rocks in the water for a whole day!!








 The black thing in Brendon's hand is his APPLE he kept dropping and eating. I couldn't keep it washed off fast enough, so I gave up. Little extra minerals won't hurt! The bottom right pic he was telling me a story of some sort, thought his face was hilarious.

 Brooklyn and Co wanted the Dads to be doctors cause they were "sick". Of course they both jumped right on it.
Brock climbed a tree and surprised us all, and Cohen insisted on getting up too.
 Call me a hunter's daughter! I was the first to spot deer right by our campsite. So cool! There were about 5 of them, one or two bucks that I missed with the camera.
 If you can't tell, our boys LOOOOOOVE the Garza's.
 Our mallows were about the size of my fist. And we had to roast starburts, of course.

 We all survived the night! YES.
 Co teaching Brooklyn how to spit, or something like that.
 A nice morning stroll through the forest...



 Our little praying mantis did NOT want to come off Garza's tent, even after shaking it. And Co found a wire hanger that was extremely entertaining. 
 Kids fishing pond = huge mud puddle with no fish.
Still fun thought!




  Found a turtle shell!
And a sweet "tree of life"/pedigree chart tree.
 Pictures speak louder than words!
Our quick get away was perfect.

Preschool Field trip
{Oct. 24th}
 The Fort Worth Zoo is always fun.
This is our third time going and we saw the most animals yet, and the most active animals. I think it was lunch time for most animals. They were racing back and forth and making their own sounds. The bear was WAY WAY WAY too close to the fence that it seemed he could just hop right over. Not too many people wanted to be close for very long at all.

 Time out for lunch and to run and climb like all little boys should.






 
Our friends Angel and Jersey Blain came with our preschool group. So glad they did! Can't get enough of Jersey girl's cute face.
Finally, some leaf color changing going on.
 FALL! Finally.
You have to look very hard and close to spot Fall leaves.

We LOVE you zoo!

He is my little Batman. 
Clothes, or no clothes, he can fly fast!
A few facts & funnies about the boys lately:

Quotes from Co - Mom: What do you want to breakfast? Co: Something that won't be sticky on my hands.
"Mom when I wasn't listening you were running out of your patience huh? Do you have your patience now?"

Cohen and I snuggled after we read a bedtime snack last night for almost 10 straight mins in silence. Heavenly! He's getting too big for snuggles most the time, sad. So this was special. He asked me to snuggle with him for a long time, so you better believe that's just what I did.

Brend's new words: Thank you {Day doo} Love you {uh ooo} Amen {A-en} Still just jabbering in his own little language.
Still snuggly as ever. Getting more and more feisty.
He insists on blowing on all his food, cold or not, and tries to whistle like Daddy.

 Superincredible is what I call him.
This man of mine works incredibly hard in school.
It is paying off for sure.
Somehow he finds a way to fit in everything needed.
I had to take a picture of him studying.
{as if I could ever forget} ;) 
I love this man....My personal doctor.
