Trip for three

 A few weekends ago, I was brave (or crazy) enough to fly with the kids to Midland to visit my parents (Mimi and Pops).  We had such a great time, eating, playing, visiting people, and just being spoiled!  My parents still live in the house we grew up in so it still feels like "home".  I helped host a baby sprinkle for Mel's second baby due in just a few weeks, Maddox!  It was a great shower and she got lots of fun things.  Griffin enjoyed a special day out with Pops at the duck pond and to get a big scoop of bubble gum or "water gun"(as Griff called it) ice cream.  We went to church and out to lunch at Tampico (always fun with two babies ;).  We took the kids to the pumpkin patch and out to Pop's office.  Griff convinced Mimi to drive the fork lift which was quite entertaining for us all.  The kids loved swimming in the hot tub every night.  We've always known Griff was a little fish, but his sister just might have him beat.  Whenever we walked out in the backyard and she saw the hot tub she would start squealing and kicking her feet to get in. :)  The kids actually did GREAT on the airplane and now that I've done it once I know I can do it again!  Thank you Mimi and Pops for such a wonderful visit.  We love you and appreciate ALL you do for us!
Pops knows a guy in Midland who builds model trains as a hobby and has a working "miniature" train running through his property.  Griff loves trains so he was in heaven and Ella enjoyed the ride too.







 Hostesses for Mel's baby shower and the Mommy to be looking precious in the middle.  You can't even tell she's prego in this pic!


 Pops and Griff carved a Jack o Lantern

 We had a play date with Pax!  Such a cutie pie
 Griffin loves his Bella Boo and wanted to lay with her on the couch

 Mimi and Pops wanted to see the kids in their Halloween costumes so we dressed them up for the pumpkin patch.








 Griffin had SO much fun making doughnuts with Mimi and she even let him put as many sprinkles as he wanted on them, that's A LOT of sprinkles!
