Cowboys!

Recently, we flew to Dallas for my hubby's Christmas present...to watch the Dallas cowboys at their new stadium! Before you even ask, yes...we took Lexi along. She did great! The noise was like a white noise for her and put her to sleep for a good nap. When she was awake, she was happy as could be touring the stadium with me in the ergo, and watching her favorite players.

We got so many weird looks and reactions from the hotel lady at the front desk and our bus driver about us bringing her...so much so that I got really stressed the night before about it. Keith reassured me that if she didn't do well, we would leave. No big deal. I need to remember that many people
Would choose to go without kids and that is perfectly fine... Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I just wish others would see that there is also nothing wrong with choosing to do things like attend an NFL game either kids. Why can't sporting events be family oriented like they used to be? We actually saw several kids and babies. We sat next to really nice people too. Would it have been easier without kids? Maybe. Is it something we would so again? Absolutely! This is us now, and we wouldn't change a thing.

Happy Halloween! Post 1

Well, fall is officially here! I know, it's been here for a while now, but when you live in the midwest you don't feel 'fall-y' (yes, I did just make up my own word) until it starts to look overcast outside with 50-60 degree temperatures.

We had a great weekend this past weekend. We took Lexi to her very first Halloween adventure---HallowZOOeen. We She LOVED it! Haha she was still kind of young for it, but we wanted her to get the most out of her very first Halloween. She had two costumes this year. Why? Who can resist adorable little babies in costumes? At HallowZOOeen she was a soft, fuzzy, pink bunny. On Halloween, she was a baby owl. My sister-in-law made the owl costume. Lexi gave us some interesting 'looks' when we dressed her in both of the costumes, but she quickly forgave us! I don't have all of my pics uploaded yet, but here's a sneak peek...

We also visited the pumpkin patch with my wonderful sister and brother-in-law. They took some pretty cute pics of Lexi, those will be in another post along with the rest of the Halloween pics.

Happy Halloween!!
