Today we made a trip out to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. What is funny about this trip is that we always get into our FALL clothes all excited about autumn and the cool weather. Once we are out there we remember that we are in TX and it's just plain HOT! We are not the only ones doing this by the way. The patch is just full of people like us pushing our strollers and wagons in our warm clothes through the hot dusty fields. Todd and I went out there once to get a Christmas tree and it was still HOT! OH Well! We still had a good time. Carson really enjoyed it till he fell out of his wagon. Poor guy he is a okay just a little dusty.
Sunday morning Carson and I will be heading to KV to see my parents. Todd is going to join us on Friday. We will be in KC by 9:00AM so it's going to be an early morning in our house. Thank you Grandma and Papa for picking us up!
Enjoy these pics from the Pumpkin Patch!

Lindsi and Rey's Wedding
Congrats to our good friends Rey and Lindsi. They got married this past Friday in Santa Fe, NM.
This week was a busy one for us. After our trip to Hilton Head we had to hit the ground running. Monday we had to do the laundry and organize for the week. Tuesday was MMO (Mom's Morning Out) and Carson was not to fond of the daycare thing. Wednesday we had MOPS (Mother's of Preschool Children) and then on Thursday we hosted playgroup at our house. After everyone left playgroup Carson went down for a nap and I packed us up for our trip to Santa Fe. That night we ran to the Galleria to pick up a few last minute things and to grab dinner at Grand Lux. Always yummy! Then it was off to bed for all of us.
Friday morning we were up and running by 5:00 in order to catch our flight to NM. FYI ... We have been in three different time zones this past week. When we got into NM we had a hour drive to Santa Fe. Once we made it into town we grabbed a nice lunch in downtown Santa Fe. Our room was not ready when we check in at Bishop's Lodge but Matt and Hang were so sweet and let us hang out in their room while we waited. So we put Carson down for a nap. Then we were able to relax and read on the back deck in the sun. After Carson woke up our room was ready. So we checked in and got dressed for the wedding.
The wedding was beautiful and the weather was perfect. They got married in this little chapel called the Loretto Chapel which has this wonderful staircase made with no nails. The wedding was a hit. Carson made it all the way down with the help of Daddy. He was going to walk with the flower girls but they had a hard time trying to figure out how to hold his hand and drop the rose petals so Todd helped him. He was a BIG BOY and did a good job. A funny note from the wedding. One of the flower girls hair caught fire and her mom had to hit her on the head to get it out. It was a scene ... don't worry everyone is okay.
They had their reception at the La Fonda Hotel (Oldest hotel in Santa Fe). The food and views were amazing. We all had a wonderful time. Carson fell in love with Rick and Dora. Rick stands at 6 feet and 8 inches so Carson loved the view when Rick would hold him. Carson also loved dancing with Dora who is Rick's wife. They were so sweet to Carson. While at the reception we met so many people and everyone had a great time.
The next morning we were able to sleep in and Carson slept till 8:00 ... WOW! We took our time getting ready and packed up. Then met up with Matt and Hang and drove into town (our hotel Bishop's Lodge is located just outside of Santa Fe) to meet Rey and Lindsi for brunch. It was so nice to be able to all sit down and talk and have a great meal. After that Rey and Lindsi took us to see their room at La Fonda ... very nice and it had the best view of the mountains. We then all loaded up and headed back to the airport for our flight home with Matt and Hang. It was a fast trip but also very relaxing and enjoyable. We would love to go back sometime.
This week we plan on going to the Pumpkin Patch for our pumpkins and getting our mums for the season. We also have MMO and playgroup. A week from today Carson and I will be heading back to KV for the week and Todd will join us for the weekend.

Visit from Grandma and Papa
This weekend Papa and Grandma came to visit us. It was a busy but fun weekend. On Friday Carson and Papa hanged out together while Mom and I went dress shopping for Kaitlin's wedding. That night Todd joined us and we went out to eat at Brio. Carson was wonderful while we were there. They gave him a balloon and also a little of pizza dough. He loved both of them and played the whole time. Saturday we woke up and headed out to the Texas State Fair. We were not sure what to think but once we got there we were able to enjoy the nice weather and the fair which is really a bunch of fried food. Over the years they have fried everything from Coke to Twinkies. This year the hit was chicken fried bacon. We then had to hurry home to put Carson down for his nap. While he was down for his nap we got the house ready for his 2nd First Birthday Party. The 1st one was back in KV with out family and friends. His 2nd one was back here is TX for our friends and his playgroup. The party was a hit and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. On Sunday we all went out for brunch and took Grandma and Papa back to the airport. Thank you so much for coming and we hope you can make it back soon.
This coming weekend we head to Hilton Head to spend some time with Todd's parents. In one form or another we will be traveling for the next five weekends ... TOO FUN!
Happy Birthday Andy!

A Carson Update
That same week we went to St. Ann's (our church) Carnival. Carson got to go on his first carousal ride. We went in the morning without knowing that they bring out all the fun stuff for kids in the evenings. So there was no petting zoo or pony rides. Oh well maybe next year.
Once we got home from Missouri, Carson got to open his birthday gifts from us. He has really enjoyed his new red car. He is so cute in it. I love it because I can push him around the house are the neighborhood. He loves it because it plays music and there are many ways for him to get in and out of it. Sometimes head first. He also got a tunnel which he just loves. Our neighbors Matt and Hang came over the other night for Game Night and Matt had got into it and stood up ... well Carson did not know what to think about that. It was pretty funny to watch.
While I was making dinner the other day I had left the door on the fridge open so Carson could play in there ... he loves that. Well it got really quite and I noticed that he was not there any more. I found him in the living room watching TV with a stick of butter in his mouth. What a snack ... my silly silly boy. It must have felt good to his gums. FYI Carson has four molars coming in right now. Yes, that would be one on all sides of his mouth. Poor boy! He has been a champ about it ... so strong and brave.
This weekend after Ike left the area we headed over to Grapefest in Grapevine. The weather was prefect and hey they had wine and a petting zoo. So they whole family was very happy.
