Every year Gary's work takes us to the Corn Maize. Katy went last year but just stayed in the stroller so this year it was so much fun to watch her play.
Katy was a cute little bumble bee for Halloween. Her aunt Geanene was so nice to get her the costume and it saved mommy lots of trouble. Katy was funny because you could tell she was not certain why so many people were giving her candy. She had no problem taking any of it from them though! We carved an "Oh No!" pumpkin this year using Katy's hands. It turned out pretty cute I thought. Katy enjoying feeling the gooey insides and saying "eeewww".
In July Gary and I decided to take a vacation for an early 9th anniversary celebration since we had not been on a trip by ourselves since our 1st anniversary. We went to Dallas and had so much fun eating and sleeping. We also played at Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor. Our 4 star hotel room was awesome and since we used Priceline it was very affordable.We ate at Bob's Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory and Uncle Julio's. It was wonderful to be able relax and enjoy time together.
Also in July we went with my family to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels. It was funny how we payed a decent price to get in only to spend half the day watching and playing with the one who got in free. It was worth it though because Katy was having a blast. There was so much for her play on that she was running in every direction. The park is so big that we ended up not getting to ride everything we wanted, but we still had a ton of fun. While on vacation we went to San Antonio to walk around on the river walk and stopped by the Alamo. Katy was VERY impressed.
In August we had Katy's picture made at the Arboretum by Sarah Bigalow. We are very impressed with the way they turned out. Sarah is very good with kids and was able to get Katy to do almost anything she asked. It was the most stress free picture time we have had. I think I am done with the studios.
