State Fair 2010

Last Wednesday, we were able to go to the State Fair with our friends and their two little ones.  The majority of the five hours we were there was spent at the petting zoo, the dog show and the Birds of the World show.  Oh... and WALKING, haha!  Surprisingly we just ate two things; I had biscuits and sausage gravy because I forgot to eat breakfast after taking my meds and rushing around the house and Dustin had a corny dog.  No fried FRITOS pie or fried grilled cheese for us.  Ashton was content on eating his shared crackers and peanut butter with his friend Claire.  He LOVED Big Tex and was upset when we left him.  He just called him "The Cowboy."  He had a great time at the petting zoo, feeding all of the willing animals and was pretty impressed with the dog show.  I think he had the most fun though, playing with Claire in the fountains set up in pretty garden area sponsored by Home Depot.

Pumkin Patch

Yesterday evening, Ashton and I had a little fun at a small pumpkin patch in Rockwall, down the road from our house.  He enjoyed seeing all the different kinds of pumpkins, walking through a hay-bale maze and picking out a small pumpkin to paint for Halloween. Here are a few of my favorite photos.

Silly Cousins

On Saturday, we attended a CPA party for Dustin's cousin, Evan, who just past his CPA exam.  While I regret not getting a picture of the adding machine cake on my own camera, I was able to get a couple of pictures of Ashton and his two favorite cousins, Paislee and Preslee.  The glasses were a part of the "nerdy" party ;).

Visit to Grandma & Grandpa's

Last week, Ashton and I we were able to travel with my parents and brother to my grandparents in Coleman, Texas.  This is where I grew up from 3rd grade to graduation.  It was nice to visit them and see how my town had changed.  We spent most of the time playing baseball on account of Ashton, we went to the park, ate at a local Mexican restaurant, Hidalgo's (yum!) and was able to catch up.

Here are a few pictures of our three days there :).
