Auntie Jess Visits Texas

I decided to join mom and dad on a long weekend trip to Texas to visit Jamie and Craig. It was so much fun! Riley and Connor were there and we always have fun with those two.

Thursday we got in late, but Jamie took us to dinner at On the Border - one of our family favorites. Jax even woke up for the occasion.

Friday we had a low key morning and then went to a ladies lunch and shoe shopping. Jax came along too. He is just too cute not to drop everything and focus on him. I couldn't believe it, but shopping doesn't even compare when I can just hold him and talk to him.

Jamie thinks it is really funny to take a picture before cleaning up Jax or the person who he chooses to throw up on. Which on this trip was usually me. What a cutie!

Friday night,  I had a tent/movie date with Riley and Connor. Although I thought we would build our fort with blankets, they would have nothing of it. We used premade tents and watched Oliver and Company.

Saturday it was all about the kiddos. We all went to Riley's Groovy Girls soccer game. Boy was it hot. Luckily the games are kept pretty short because of the heat. Then we headed over to Connor's first football game of the season.  Texas  doesn't kid around with football even when the kids are in second grade. Full pads, names on their jerseys, cheerleaders, music, cameras, and a scoreboard!  Connor did really well and because it was later in the evening, it had even cooled down a bit...maybe like 85.

 Look at her go! I think she scored 6 goals...in the first quarter!

 Number 14, just like his Dad.

 Happy baby ready to go home and try rice cereal for the first time!

We think he liked it.

The rest of the weekend went too fast and Monday morning came too soon. Jamie took us the airport and we came home already missing everyone. Looking forward to their visit in a few months!
