Come with us to Texas

First I want to warn this is a very long post...Mostly of pictures though..so Enjoy!!

Well We took a trip to Texas for Thanksgiving. Brents Dad Sister Caitlyn and Brother Jeffrey didn't know we were coming! It was such a surprise to them all and we had so much fun..with lots of yummy turkey and great food!

Jackson did really well for his first time flying. Our flight left Salt Lake City on Thanksgiving morning at 6 am. As you can imagine We were all very tired



Our little man is always soo happy. We love him!




Jackson meeting his twin cousins Elsie and Ava.

Kisses for Ava. This is very blury but he loved them!
Brent and Jeff playing video games.

This is on our way to Fortworth. Jackson was having a very hard Car ride and Analee was providing him with this face


But he loved it!!



Walking in Down-town Fort worth



Jackson Loved this Lemon.. He didn't even pull a face!

Jeffrey and his girl Presley



I love these boys!
Kisses for momma


Jacks loves kisses

Eating out as a family at a yummy BBQ place!

There were these random things as we were walking..Cait wanted a picture with them! Haha


The water gardens. These were soo cool. There were three different ones as you'll see in pictures below

Normal

Silly faces ( I love Jeffrey and Carrie in this!)

#1 watergarden


Beautiful Mavery..She is so sweet and smiles really big for the camera!

Kaydree

#2 watergarden. If you go down in it, it is supposed to represent Alice in wonderland where you feel so small compared to everything. Really pretty

Older brother Chris and Brent

Papa and Carver


Watergarden #3 Water if falling down everyside of this and you can walk down into it.

Such a big boy all ready for church

Looking through photo alblums. Random Pic


Jacksons nap time (very rare)

Anniversary

Brent and I celebrated our 2 year Anniversary on the 30th..We were sad as we left Jackson home it was only the two of us.

You don't see much of this around here...Many different roads


Brent used to work at this place called H.E.B now his brother Jeffrey does. Apparently a lot of people brent used to work with still work there.

We decided to go to the Rainforest Cafe.. It was a really fun experience and very memorable.




This alligator would come alive and open its mouth





Its really neat if you've never been you'll have to go sometime. About every 30 min all of the animals come to life and move around the lights flash and get dark as the room experiences a Thunderstorm

Waterfall inside







Our desert. We stuck with Rasberry Cheesecake...mmm

The stary sky


They had this tabel set up with rainforest annimals and each with a birthday cake

We missed our Jackson so much that we decided to Build a Rainforest Cafe monkey for him. Here we are stuffing him.

Making a wish for Jackson for the heart we put in the monkey

Giving the monkey a bath

The final product. We decided on a monkey because Jackson loves the song 3 Little Monkies

Giving the monkey a name we decided on "kevin"



Our last night in Texas. We went out to a family favorite italian resturant.

The plane ride home. Daddy sleeping mommy tired and Jackson a monkey!!!

We had such a great time in Texas! We can't wait to go back! Thank you Carvers for such a great time!!!!

Thanks for the long post, I love posts with lots of pictures. I know how you must of felt flying home...I remember my hubby would fall asleep and I would be holding Lyla even though I was the one who took a dramamine which makes you REALLY tired...plane rides are rough when you have kids...although I have never been on a plane without my kids...
