Labor Day Fun!!

We had a very wonderful Labor Day weekend! We traveled to Austin to spend time with my family. On Saturday the boys put gutters on the back of my parents' house, then we went to dinner. We ate at the Iguana Grill overlooking Lake Travis. It was really a very neat place. Our table looked directly over a cliff at the lake, which was really neat, but it also had an outdoor live music stage. We ventured over to the live band after we had our dinner, and I think the performer was upstaged by our sweet Payton. It was a really fun dinner. On Sunday we just played at the house after church and watched as Gustav made its way in. On Monday we all came back to Houston for an extended visit. What a fun time!! We all had so much fun.




In their manliest voices, they are saying "Gutters!"
I guess that made it ok to pose in a picture together.

We're checking out the band!
Alan and Payton looked so cute watching together.
The musician is serenading our little Payton. She watched intently through an entire song as he stood right there on the rail next to her and sang a whole song just to her. She never took her eyes off him. It was unbelievably cute...not something we will soon forget. When he finished his song to her he asked her name and told the crowd that she inspired him. Way too cute! And, just look how big she looks sitting there all by herself.
She stole the show!

The girls played dress-up in Mimi's old clothes. Maci insisted on being called Princess Maci.

What a fun weekend! Princess Maci and 'Show-Stealing' Payton seemed to have a good time. Love your girls; they always bring a smile.
