Austin Steam Train

If you've ever talked to Max, you know he's obsessed with trains. We got an opportunity to take our family on a train ride, on an old train, to Burnett, TX. Sadly I didn't take any pictures in Burnett, but the boys loved the ride there and back. Max was in absolute heaven! He was so happy to be inside a real train! 

The two older boys thought this was the coolest part. In between the cars was open and they loved looking outside! 

Max insisted we look at everything he found interesting... which was just about everything he saw. And if we didn't look right away, he did this...

It was a fun, out-of-the-ordinary day. 

Tadd's Birthday Party!

Tadd had his first official "friend birthday party" this year. He could. not. wait. 

Unfortunately, when you have a holiday birthday, it makes it difficult to have a party within a few days, so we waited until November 7th. We played pin the tail on the donkey, had a Star Wars piñata, I got to do trade for a bounce house and the kids all had so much fun! 

Halloween Happenings

October was a good month. Everyone was healthy, the weather finally started to become more tolerable, we had lots of fun activities to do... it was just good. Here are some photos from our Halloween days. 

We made ghosts to hang from the tree in our front yard. 

On Halloween, we got to have Aaron around all day since it was on a Saturday. He started the day by making pumpkin shaped (and colored) pancakes for the boys. They loved it! He's such a fun dad.
