YES!!!!

My AZ asked me the most wonderful question today..."Can you be my Momma forever?" "Yes baby girl...forever."

I am so bless!!! Thank you for being mine forever.

ARUBUCKLE WILDERNESS

So, not the best picture of Grayer, but it is the only one. He was drinking a bottle on Mom's lap while we drove through this fun safari.

We had Dade and AZ sit together in the front seat. We thought they would be able to see and feed the animals better.

It didn't even last two minutes. As soon as Aislyn realized the animals weren't in cages and were coming up to the car...she was out of there!!!

Daddy feeding camels.

Daddy petting zebra.

Daddy feeding ostrich. This was the first and last time Dad fed the ostriches...they were a little too eager...in fact, a little scary.

Daddy feeding the giraffe.

Daddy feeding the giraffe by hand. Look at that tongue.

Dade hiding while Dad feeds the giraffe.

Our two little wild animals we decided to take home.

We had a really nice time. Who wants to go with us next time?

ARBUCKLE OKLAHOMA

This is a pretty common picture for our family. Dad and kids tickling and wrestling while Mom stays out if it and takes pictures.

This was the first morning in Oklahoma. We decided to take a weekend trip and stay in a cabin.

We hiked Turner Falls.

There was of course a path to walk on, but true to his inner boy, Dade had to climb on the rocks.

AZ chose the path.

Proof that Grayer was there!

Don't you totally remember doing things like this? Stairs?...too easy, must climb ramp!

Can we install one of these in our house?

They had so much fun climbing around this "castle". It was actually designed to look like a castle and built as a summer home.

Look at Aislyn's hand in her pocket...a new must.

Pictures from this angle always make the kids look so tall.

Turner Falls. Beautiful.

There were turtles everywhere. Dain caught one so the kids could look at it. Aislyn was the only one brave enough to touch it.

Then into swimsuits we go. We didn't bother putting Dade in his, because he had already slipped and gotten himself all wet.

The next sequence of pictures are really a dance routine. AZ was singing a song (not heard before by Mom or Dad) and the dancing began. She had no idea I was talking pictures.

We are definitely planning a trip back there soon.

DALLAS ARBORETUM

CUTE!!!!! I love this little guy. He always has a smile for me. Even when we spent the day at the Dallas Arboretum and he has to see most of it from the stroller.

I think the #1 reason my kids love going is to get their faces painted. This is the second time Dade has had them paint a spider.

AZ got a princess face...pretty fitting.

We hit the petting Zoo. Cousin Miller and Emerson joined us. Don't you just love the sweet smile on Millers face?

The only way I could get this picture was to let them all hold pumpkins. It worked...for about two seconds.

She is growing up so fast. I just love this phase. They are so excited about everything and still listen (kind of).

Proof that Momma was there.

One day they will be big and will look at me like I'm crazy for trying to get them to sit next to each other for a picture. Luckily that day hasn't come yet.

You can't tell from the picture, but Dade actually fell into that perfect stop. When I looked up I started laughing and had to grab the camera. It took him a minute, but eventually we were both smiling and giggling.

I love the Autumn.
