Going to the pumpkin patch in the fall is becoming a traditon of ours- this is our 3rd year to do it. And the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch is our favorite. Tony and I took the day off work so we could relax and beat the crowds. That morning we went to the movies to see Toy Story in 3D, which was a blast. Our kids love going to the movies as much as we do. The weather was cloudy and damp, but we decided to go to the pumpkin patch anyway. The kids had a great time! John is really becoming more of a kid and less of a baby each day.
Here he was at the pumpkin patch in 2008:
And here he is this year:

It is harder than I would ever imagine to get a decent picture of the kids together. The only way to even come close is to restrain them
One of my favorite recent pictures:
Alexandra has a lot of attitude these days:
But she also knows when to turn on the cuteness
I’m going to pretend like I took this picture this way on purpose. In reality, John stepped out of the frame right as the shutter released, and of course he was wearing the cutest smile I’d ever seen. So, I pretend like I did it on purpose to be “artsy”

John is the happiest baby you will ever meet- unless he’s hungry

On the spur of the moment we decided to take advantage of some nice weather and go visit the Fort Worth Zoo. Here are a few pictures from our day:

Next to Christmas, Independence Day is our favorite holiday. This year we started off by going to the KaboomTown fireworks in Addison on the 3rd. The next day we woke up and went to the Plano parade (which was just down the street from us) and that afternoon we drove to Mike’s (Tony’s boss) lake house for swimming, barbecue and more fireworks.

A day at the beach? In north Texas? Why, of course?

Sorry that I haven’t updated in awhile, I seem to have just fallen off the face of the earth or something. We are here, and I’m going to attempt to catch up by back-dating some of these next few entries.
Here are the pictures from the Playhouse Disney concert. For some crazy reason, the concert didn’t have a stop in Dallas, so we had to drive all the way to Waco. It was a fun outing though, a very nice drive and we had a good time. Alexandra wore her Mickey Ears, everyone kept asking us where we got them. Um, duh, Disneyworld :). She tasted cotton candy for the first time, and just like her mom and dad, she didn’t like it.

This year Alexandra was very well behaved (when it came to the tree, at least) so we didn’t have to put a gate around it.
And here she is just being plain cute
This is one of my favorite pictures so far
Mama’s Little Man
Daddy’s Girl
Here is how Alexandra feels about Santa Claus
You can see why Alexandra sometimes calls her brother “Baby Smiley”
This is how we roll in the Double Stroller

This year we went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time playing and running with Alexandra. John slept the whole time, and didn’t wake up until we got home.
