Galveston

Last week we went to Galveston with my dad and Amelia for a mini vacation. It was really suppose to be a fishing trip for my dad and Austin and I asked why the women couldnt come along. ha! Even though it rain a little we still had a great trip. I was really surprised to see some much still damaged from hurricane Ike.


Couldn't believe this sign!

This home was built before the 1900's....not sure if any heard of the hurricane that hit Galveston in the 1900's that killed thousands, but this house withheld the storm and resued about 200 people during the storm.

Avery's first time on the beach.

The Ballon Festival

Lighting of the Ballons

Avery's very own balloon

This is a picture of my dads friend from high school. He flies hot air balloons and was into for a balloon festival so we went out to watch the lighting before they took off the next morning.

Austin fishing...the whole reason for the trip.

Pumpkin Patch

I'm playing catch up....so the post will be short and sweet!
Over a week and a half ago we took Avery to her first pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. We tried to get a picture with the kiddos (Caleb, Eli and Avery)together, but it was not possible. It was a beautiful day and I think Avery had a great time amongest all the pumpkins.

Such a big helper

Helping daddy unload the diswasher. Such a big helper!!

9 Months

So another check that went great. Avery wasnt able to get her flu shot since they only had some that were preserved, which means the shots had mercury in them. We are hoping her doctor will get some in the next couple of weeks. Other then that everything looked great. Her stats are:
Weight 17.8 - 30%
Height 27 1/4 in- 40%
Her doctor was stretching the percentage.

First time to the Zoo

Avery had her first trip to the zoo.....it was Sopie's actually birthday and Melissa wanted to take her to the zoo and asked if Avery and I would like to come along. OF COURSE!!! All the girls had a great time. Avery wasnt so sure about feeding the birds...and either was I. We may have to invest in a zoo pass since we will be taking many more trips to the zoo and especially with daddy.

Not so sure about these birds!

She wasnt so excited right at first!!
