you asked for itttt, you got ittttt

So sorry for the delay. The past few weeks have been filled with loved ones!

We visited my oldest friend a few weeks ago, and did nothing but stuff ourselves with delicious food at Cheesecake Factory. We also cooked a very belated birthday dinner which took several hours even though it was extremely simple. Amy is one of those friends who reverts me to the age of 10 when we hang out. We ended up staying up late at night after Will fell asleep, and giggled for hours about ridiculous things including some crazy ass commercial starring a dog with T-rex arms.

Don't zoom in on this picture. I screwed up with the red eye remover and deleted the original. I have three pupils :(


Mom and Dave visited last weekend! We went to the State Fair and had to take a picture with this scarecrow man.


And in front of Big Tex! Excuse the blurriness of the group pic. The person who took it was too busy getting ready for a parade.




The State Fair of Texas is famous for fried food. Now, I'm not sure if I've ever liked a corn dog before, but the "corny dogs" at Fletcher's are a MUSSSSTTTT.


The fried bacon was too much for me, but somehow it won the first prize for being the best fried food there.


We didn't do much but walk around and eat. I think next year I'll win some giant stuffed animals and then not know what to do with them.

The next day we all went to see the King Tut exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. They probably should have disclaimed that King Tut was NOT ACTUALLY THERE before we spent $30 a ticket to go see a digital projection of his mummy. A lot of the artifacts from his tomb and other neat Egyptian stuff was there, but it was such a let down to not even get to see this mask.



I mean, really??

So afterward we moseyed out to Fort Worth and did some sight-seeing.


And saw a cattle drive!!



And Billy Bob's! For about 10 minutes. Stupid Darius Rucker (HOOTIE!) was playing there so they had to shut it down to "prepare."


Next visitor, be forewarned: we want to go back there.

Anyway, it was great to see family and we all had a good time. We'll see the rest of you soon, too!

Today we visited a pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. It was CHAOS. Kids having meltdowns, kettle corn smells wafting, a giant pumpkin bounce house, and horses secretly eating entire misfit pumpkins in the back. It was awesome, and I can't wait to take our future little ones to stuff like that. PLUS we got a 10% off coupon for our Christmas tree if we buy it from their farm.

Neat little rows.


Cutest train ever!


Please excuse my creepy face!


We have a winner.








Well, that's all I've got right now. COMMENT.

PS - Is anyone else excited to see Sarah Palin on SNL tonight?? Hahah
