Wings Over Houston Air Show

Nick, Marshall, and I went down to Ellington field on Sunday for the air show.  Marshall loves looking at  airplanes in our back yard so much that we figured he would really enjoy all the airplanes at the show.  We got there around 10:30 and didn't leave until 3:00, so needless to say we all had fun.  Marshall isn't one of those kids that nicely holds his mommy's hand and stays close to me, so we kept him in his stroller most of the day and he did awesome.  We got to see really big planes, helicopters, small planes, and jets all flying in the sky.  Marshall spent the majority of the day pointing at the sky intrigued by it all.  When the jets fly by they are super loud, so thankfully Nick brought hearing protection with us and Marshall wore it like a champ.  Marshall's favorite part was when the small planes did all their acrobatic moves in the sky with trails of smoke.  My favorite part was the Pearl Harbor reenactment and I think Nick's favorite parts were the jets.  After lunch around 1:00 Marshall passed out for about 30 minutes, which was just enough to refuel him for the rest of the day.  We all had so much fun and will definitely make this a yearly thing!

Pumpkin Patch

We met Grammy, Thomas, Jess, and Leah at a pretty cool place yesterday called Spring Creek Growers.  It's a Christmas tree farm but they have fall fun days and pumpkin patch in October.  It wasn't too crowded when we got there so it was really nice for Marshall since all he wanted to do was run around everywhere.  He LOVED the pumpkins and was just too excited to sit still for pictures.  Leah, on the other hand did awesome posing for pictures and she seemed to have fun.  With the awesome weather we have had lately we kind of expected for it to be nice, but it got pretty hot real fast.  We saw some chickens, rabbits, a goat and a pig, rode on a hay ride, climbed up hay piles, played in a 3 story tree house, and ran through a corn maze.  We had lots of fun and will definitely go back next year.  Enjoy the pics even though Marshall isn't smiling in any of them!

Our week at Nana and Pa's

Marshall and I went to my parent's house last week and had a great time.  The weather was awesome and we spent the majority of the time outside exploring the yard, playing with the dogs, feeding the ducks, and just running around.  My niece, Jacobi, goes to school about 20 minutes away so I was able to sneak away to watch her play and win her varsity volleyball game.  I also was able to get away on Wednesday to go visit JaNan and her beautiful new baby Stella.  Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of that visit, but she is a precious little baby and the Straznicky family is very blessed.  On Thursday Nana, Pa, Marshall and I went to the East Texas County Fair.  We got to eat cotton candy, drink a home made rootbeer float, feed some animals, check out baby chickens, play some games, win a prize and ride one ride.  We were all pooped afterwards and Marshall went to bed super early that night.  My Uncle Richard and Aunt Barbara came in town on Saturday from North Carolina and we all ventured out to Canton.  Lots of fun stuff but not really Marshall's idea of fun, but he was a trooper.  We had a nice lunch at my Aunt Lynda's house on Sunday and got to visit with Belinda, Jacobi, and Jaclyn that night.  On Monday, Marshall and I went to the zoo.  It was a wonderful day, not crowded at all and it was a great way to end out week.  Marshall and I were very happy to get home to Nick and the dogs, but we will definitely miss Nana and Pa.
