We spent the first week of October in the Dallas/Tyler area visiting my family and Lex's family for his cousin's wedding. We had a great time and got to do a lot of fun things and see a lot of great friends and family! Here are a few pictures of our trip. I wasn't great about taking pictures myself, so we missed a few events - visiting my friend Susan and meeting her new baby, Emmy; and visiting my grandmother, Granny; and actual pictures of the wedding in Tyler (our main reason for the trip..haha)! Thanks Mom for sending me most of these pictures!
Mimi and Pops time...park, splash park, another park, fun!
We were also able to spend a whole day at the State Fair of Texas. Here's us with Big Tex in the background!
Katelyn and Lex rode the Ferris Wheel, it was huge and Katelyn was insistent on riding it. No fear, that girl!
The rest of us hung out on the ground and ate cotton candy!
Fun characters we saw on the street.
Petting Zoo
Nap time! Sweet, happy boy!
Katelyn's first "real" roller coaster...she did great and got off with big smiles!
Levi stuck with the carousel :)
Dog show
While we were there, we were also able to go watch my Mom's band perform. They kids really loved it, for about 15 minutes :) They especially loved playing with her clarinet and on their piano.
After our visit in Dallas, we headed to Holly Lake/Tyler for the wedding. My parents were so great to watch the kids for us so Lex and I could have 2 nights in a hotel for the rehearsal dinner and wedding. We were able to do a little fishing with them and go to a Duck Derby festival at Holly Lake during the day on Saturday. Two of my parents ducks actually won prizes AND Miss Katelyn won the grand prize Kitty Cake in the last Cake Walk! She had an advantage with her Lucky Charm Hello Kitty shirt on :) Boy was she sooo excited! And was excellent, probably a $50 specialty cake if you had ordered it!
WORMS!!
Earlier in the week we also went to the Flight Museum at Love Field in Dallas. They had a great kids area and some really cool planes on display. Including some Southwest Planes you can explore on.
Also, earlier in the week we went to Fort Worth to see Lindsay and Greg's new house and out to dinner. These two have lots of fun together!
The one picture that Fred took of us at the Rehearsal Dinner! Best picture of us in awhile, thanks Fred!

I enjoyed being with all of you so much. I always love seeing you and playing with the kids.
I am so glad that we were able to keep the kids so that you could relax and enjoy being at the wedding. At least I hope that you could relax some!
I love and miss you.
Mom/Mimi
