Family Fun in Dallas/Fort Worth

Family fun!

Kieley and her 2nd cousins enjoying their ice cream treat!

So when Aaron and I planned this trip I was a little worried about how I was going to entertain Kieley for a week in a place I knew nothing about but then my Mom kindly reminded me that my cousin that I LOVE just moved to Fort Worth area, yay! 

We had a blast!  I can't thank my cousins Jamie and Michelle enough for all the fun Kieley and I had while Aaron was at his conference.  We even let our husbands in on the fun one night and had a dinner and played games.  Thank you sooo much!  We love and miss you guys!

Kieley enjoying her ice cream treat! Yum, Yum!

A Dream in the Car

As we were driving up to Dallas we got off the highway to get gas and when we were pulling into the parking lot this is what we saw.. I guess it is true in Texas, Bigger is Better! ;)

Kieley has always been an absolute dream in the car.  I was a little worried this time for the drive from Houston to Dallas because we didn't bring the portable dvd player but Kieley proved me wrong once again.  She was either sleeping or happy and chatting away with Aaron and I.  This little girl is the best!

Park Day

Aaron's brother, Spencer, and his wife live in one of the most amazing communities I have ever seen.  When they get a grocery store and shopping center (there are plans to build both) they won't have to ever leave, everything will be right there.  Anyway, we took Kieley to one of their parks and it was awesome!  She loved it and even got Aaron and Spencer to play with her on the play ground. :)

Houston Aquarium

Our first day after arriving in Houston we decided to go downtown and check out the Aquarium.  I'm so glad we did because it was a lot of fun!

Kieley in her "new" umberella stroller, she loved it because its pink and orange!

Our little family

This picture is for my Mom.  Kieley and Grandma love monkeys! 

Kieley and Daddy looking at the fish.  

Silly girl!

Prego Mommy with her Princess and scary Tiger! :)

The Aquarium was awesome!  After you walked through and looked at all the cool fish there were rides for the kids outside.  Aaron and Kieley are in line waiting for the underground shark train.

When Kieley spotted the bubble machine.. she wanted down, asap!  Side story:  Uncle Spence won Mr. Tiger for Kieley by making a basketball shot, best $2 I ever spent! Thank you Uncle Spence.

Bubbles! Bubbles!

Kieley was so excited to ride the train!

The last ride was on the carousel.  Kieley insisted that she got to ride on the dolphin, so daddy got the gator. :)

My pretty Princess

I love this picture!  She was so excited to see me, it was cute!

Here we go...

We have been looking forward to our trip to Texas for a couple of months.  And just our luck Kieley got sick and threw up the day before we left. :(  I took her to the Dr. to make sure her ears were ok for flying and was relieved to hear they were good.  I was thinking it was going to be the worst flight ever but Kieley surprised us with a happy, fun, flight! :)

Aaron and I at the Houston Temple, it was beautiful!

Exhausted Princess!

 The other day I was doing laundry and Kieley asked if she could watch Mickey Mouse so I turned on an episode of Mickey in my room and went to get the clothes out of the dryer and this is how I found her 3 minutes later.  She must have been exhausted from playing with her friends in the morning. :)  I love sleeping pictures!
