Vacation to Lake Texoma!

We ususally take a min-vacation with Hank's family every year. This year we went to their family's lake house at Lake Texoma for the weekend. It was so nice to get away for a few days and relax! We went on the wave runner, went out on the boat and did a little fishing! Hank was the only one who caught a fish. It was a nice sized striper! We had a great time and are looking forward to going back again soon!

Happy 24th Birthday Elizabeth!

Birthdays are usually a week long celebration around here. Elizabeth's birthday was on September 7. On the Saturday before her birthday, we started the celebration by going to her favorite restaurant, Olive Garden. After eating, her friends took her shopping and then went for ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery! We then visited Jessica who unfortunately had to work that night at Steak & Shake.

On Labor Day, her friends made breakfast and that evening Hank made dinner! After dinner, they surprised her with a decorated cookie with candles!

On Tuesday, Hank's family celebrated her birthday at his parents house. Our nephew, Ian helped his Aunt Lizzy blow out the candles!

On Thursday, Sept 7, Elizabeth's family took her out to eat to celebrate!

Texas Visit

We visited Ricky, Anna, and Hannah this past weekend in Texas. We always have a great time hanging out with them! Hannah was especially excited to show off all her new dance moves and singing(Video coming soon)! She also played dress up and showed off her pretty hat and pink flip flops!

When we visit Texas, we never leave hungry. On Saturday, Ricky made yummy pancakes for breakfast and ribs for supper! We also ate at a new restaurant called Jobo's Hamburgers for lunch. On Sunday, we were able to join in on the ever popular IHOP Breakfast with the Gode Family!

Anna gave Elizabeth a few scrapbook lessons and taught her how to make a Scrapbook Explosion! Elizabeth was hooked on Anna's Sizzix Side Kick Machine and Letters, so Hank was nice enough to get Elizabeth a Sizzix Side Kick and a set of Alphabet Sizzlits that were Letters, Numbers and Punctuation for an early birthday present. Anna also took Elizabeth on a few shopping sprees to Hobby Lobby, Joann's, and Target!

Thanks Ricky, Anna, and Hannah for a great time!
