Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo on Saturday and had a lot of fun. I hadn't been to the new exhibits yet and I really enjoyed it. All of the trees had their fall colors and it was a really pretty time to go.

Feeding the fish...

This orangutan came up to the glass to see us up close!
Rohan liked watching the monkey come up to the glass.


Swinging on the ropes...

The beautiful sunset on Saturday!

Waffle Cones

Momma bought a waffle cone that we helped try out on Sunday. Brianna and Lorien were our official waffle cone decorators. I think they enjoyed their job!

Now it's time for ice cream! This is serious business!

Rohan + Trucks = Happy Little Man!

On Sunday everyone was over at the house and Rohan was playing with a little truck and kept trying to sit in it without much success. We dug out Dustin's old dump truck (aka Torture Device) and Rohan had it made. He made several laps around the den and kitchen. I think he was quite impressed!

Signs of Fall Arrive in Texas!

1. Rain, Rain and more Rain
2. Cooler Weather
3. Sunflowers
4. Falling Leaves
5. HOT Fair & Rodeo
6. The smell of burning brush piles. (Something that I could do without!)
7. Pumpkin Patch in Lorena
8. Freezing feet because I want to wear my flip-flops as long as possible!
9. Apple Cider
10. Early nights...it gets dark at 7:30 which makes it feel like midnight!

Grandma's Birthday

We celebrated Grandma's brithday tonight with lots of good food and had fun being together with everyone!

Rohan was pretty impressed with Grandma's walker. He even gave Brianna a ride on it. She almost got dumped a few times but that just gave all of us a good laugh!

Little Claira Cogburn...she is so sweet!

Brianna, Lorien and Claira

Brianna and Lorien liked Roxann's little puppy. It was worn out after playing with grandpa and grandma's dogs.

The Love of God

The Isaacs are one of my favorite groups. I found this song tonight and I think it's one of the prettiest songs I've heard them sing.

Camping at Lake Belton

We went camping at Lake Belton over the weekend. It was a nice weekend even though it was a little warm. The water is WAY down out there! The whole swimming area is up on the bank.

There were a lot of deer out there this time...probably more than I 've ever seen there before!
