Lindsay did it!

Lindsay saved enough money to get her American Girl doll!

On our way home from Dallas, we stopped at the American Girl store so she could buy her doll. She was SO excited. The store is a girl's dream. It was fun to see her excitement!

Lindsay has been taking her everywhere. She even took her to her friend's house for their sleepover last night.

The Texas State Fair!

We visited the fair on Friday. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! The weather was perfect. Its a great fair. There is so much to see and do. We all loved it!

The kids got to go on rides and eat a lot of fried food : ) . They got to pet so many animals. They also got to see the pig races. They even got up close and petted a Longhorn! I've posted page after page of pictures...

The performer that evening was Jessica Simpson. Her boyfriend, The Cowboy's very own Tony Romo, made an appearance.

I would have thought that the kids would be exhausted but they both ended up at friends houses for sleepovers on last night. David and I were able to have a quiet evening as we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary!

Lots of rides...

Big Tex. Love that name!

Food, Food, and more food!

The Pig Races were hilarious...

Petting Essie, the Borden Cow!

The kids get to pet a Longhorn!

Finally! We visited Dallas!!

The kids have been doing so awesome in school that we decided to take them to the Texas State Fair in Dallas on Friday.

We decided to make the jaunt into a mini vacation, in honor of David & I's 4th wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas. The location was terrific.

We all had a BLAST!

Just in time for Thanksgiving dinner!

We have a dining room!

I'm so excited. We finally put our dining room together.

The kids are really excited to have a dinner in the new dining room! I can't wait for Thanksgiving!!

Our Family Went To A Sock Hop!

This evening, a "sock hop" was held at Lindsay's school. She was really excited about it since this was her first school dance. It was a family event so of course, we all attended.

I decided to make a poodle skirt for Lindsay. It was my first attempt but it came SO cute (if I may say so myself)! Lindsay likes it so much and is so impressed that I made it for her that she wants to wear it for Halloween.

Lindsay & I arrived a little early as I was working the 1st half hour of the root beer float stand. She had a chance to play with the kids of the other PTA members. When her Dad & brothers arrived, I bought them all root beer floats. After devouring them, they headed to the Gymnasium for a little dancing! We then let Lindsay pick out a book from the book fair & called it a night.

It was so cool to see the kids having so much fun. It was a nice way to spend our Friday evening.
