Run for Sudan

A couple of weekends ago, we all participated in a festival that benefited the group that Darren went with on his trip to Sudan. Darren ran a 5K and Aidan ran a 1K Fun Run.

Here are the kids in their Sudan garb, carbing up before the race. Aidan running with Captain Sudan

Aidan's Field Trip

Aidan's class took a field trip to the Owens Farm for some fall fun.

State Fair of Texas

It was time again to visit the State Fair. We enjoyed petting animals, trying new foods (fried grilled cheese is delicious) and riding the Ferris wheel.

The family with Big Tex. Thank goodness we have a few more years until he hits the road. There seems to be some confusion between forward & reverse.

Aidan working on the 'farm'. Kiersten enjoying her quesadilla from the dairy people (who used to have ice cream by the way). The petting zoo. Kiersten adored all the animals. High above the fair on the ferris wheel.

Kiersten's First Birthday

On September 15th, we celebrated Kiersten's first birthday. She is definitely a girly-girl with all her curls and bows and brings out the drama when she wants. She keeps us on our toes with all the mischeif she gets into but she can also melt our hearts with a big smile and slobbery kiss. We love you Kiersten!!
