Family Round Up - Fall 2014

Our family has had a nice fall season.  We've got to enjoy some fun things too!

We visited Mt. Playmore and G had lots of fun going up in the maze with each of us.  I must say - I think this place is super cool!

D and I went to a concert at a local amitheatre for One Republic and it was an awesome date : )

 

Tulsa Trip

The boys and I visited Tulsa this fall and had great fun going to a museum with cousins and Grandma, Papa John and Great Grandma Mary.

During this trip Grandma and Papa John gave the boys matching outfits. Gavinator is in-love with his red outfit and has worn it almost every single day for the last two months. This is not an exaggeration!

Jackson was with us, but I missed getting pics of him : (

Treats after G and cousins went to the movies. Our first theatre experience!

sweet babes

This picture was taken right before we loaded up and started our drive back home. It was early in the morning, and Gavin was in a great mood ; ) (note to self: take family pictures earlier in the trip next time)

 

Fall Fun

We've enjoyed making some pumpkin treats and crafts!

We visited Sweet Berry Farms and enjoyed it!

We dressed up as a construction family for Halloween this year ; )

 

Flu Season

In November our family came down with the flu. Bah humbug!

C stayed immune to it, and D had it the worst.  On the upsode we enjoyed lots of quarintined family bonding ; )

Call it sickness induced craziness but I decided to put together a photo opp of our boys - being better than the sum of their parts : )

 

Thanksgiving

We stayed in Austin and enjoyed a low key family Thanksgiving.  David made an excellent turkey and we did some easy side dishes and instead I focused on baking lots of different pies.  It was deliciousness for days and days!

C enjoyed sweet potatoes! His first food!

 

Gran, Grandad and Anna visited Austin

In November we were treated to a visit from the Smiths.

David baking his world famous pizza and Leslie baking her world famous apple pie!

G loves his Aunt Anna!  She treated him to reading almost every single book he has!  And probably read Byron Barton books multiple times ; )

 Gavin, lately

 Double G plays with his legos and trains every day.  And builds everything from fire houses, to towers, to coffee shops!

Gavinator eats at least 1 apple each day... some days he has 3.

G is up to shenanigans a lot these days.  He is a big fan of climbing up to the cookie jar.

Taking apart things to see how they work. 
It all started with learning to reassemble the nose frida.
