amarillo trip

At the beginning of October Mark's sweet parents and grandparents flew Reese and I down to Amarillo to visit them and spend the week playing. We had a blast! It was fun to see friends and play with Honey and Pops and Uncle Joel (who know lives there too!)

Honey and Pops took us to the zoo. The lions were a little ferocious... I think it was dinner time. yikes.


pops came home from work one day with tons of pumpkin surprises for this "buggin lover." too cute. she was so excited.

honey took us to the pumpkin patch. r was in heaven.


our sweet friends Jessica and little Camden came to play too.



showing pawpaw all her buggins.

playing with 'un dole' (aka uncle joel) ps. she saw antonio banderas on tv yesterday and kept pointing and saying "un dole undole!" hahaha i guess they look alike to her?!?!

play date at the church with our friends.

sure miss them!!!

was able to get a quick visit with heidi and her sweet family - and adorable new baby girl! such fun friends.

we had an awesome trip and I'm so blessed to have such wonderful in-laws that we love to visit! 

it was worth the crazy travel and worst day of my life traveling back home.... oh.my.word. short version: R threw up on me four or five times on the plane. we're both soaking. i have nothing else to wear and nowhere to go. so i just turned my shirt backwards halfway through the flight. just in time to RUN to our connecting flight. she throws up again. we are delayed an hour in the air. we finally land. get on the wrong bus to get to our car in the parking lot. are left on the side of the road for "another bus" to pick us up. so scary and weird. and have all of our luggage, the car seat and stroller by myself with a sick and nasty and smelly and sooooo sweet little angel. needless to say i LOST it when we got to the car. praise the Lord for his strength. i never could have gotten through that horrible day without his Word ringing in my head. hopefully mark can travel with us next time!!
