Wonderful Weekend!








We had such a great weekend! My family came down from Missouri for a visit which is always such a treat! Friday night we went to the highschool football game... it was fun because they had never seen anything like it! (there is definitly NOTHING like Texas highschool football!) Emma as usual did great and slept by her Grandpa for almost an entire quarter (very uncharacteristic of her!). We decided that Grandpa has "the touch"...she fell asleep in his arms several times this weekend:)
Saturday we loaded up in the car and went to Canton (for those of you who don't know what that is...it's basically a humongous flea market with lots of crafts, fair food! and basically things you don't need but want!). Even though it's October it was a VERY warm day in the 90's! Hank and Tricia came with us which was so nice! We all had a really great time shopping and eating ( I have a feeling the girls probably enjoyed it a little more than the guys:) ). I walked away from Canton with a FABULOUS find! Two of them actually. I bought 2 light fixtures...one for the dining room (there used to be a hideous white and gold fan in there) and one for our front porch (again...a hideous little light was there too). I bought both lights for $40! I will post before and after pictures... the dining room light made SUCH a difference in how the room looked! Dad, Travis and Tim put both of the lights up for me...thanks guys!
Sunday we went to church and then out for lunch at Double Dave's Pizza! It was such a treat! We then went home and took Sunday afternoon naps. After naps we all went on a walk to the park.
It was such a great weekend spending time with the people we love!
Oh...one more thing! Emma figured out how to crawl this weekend!!! Her Grandpa had put her on the floor right by a milk jug (we were eating breakfast) and she crawled for it! She's pretty slow at it still....but she definitly has it!
Have a great Monday everyone!

(for some reason the pictures won't drag below my blog... so that's why they're at the top!)

Fun weekend! Love family,oh, and Canton. It's my favorite! I plan whole trips home around Canton weekend.

Oh, and a tip on the pictures. I load my pictures first and then type around them, but you should be able to drag them where you want them.
