Our Spring Visit to Texas

Cole and I made a trip to visit the sun in Houston and escape the snow in Seattle. Our travel was originally planned around Jeremy's trip to Park City to ski with the Westcott boys. Unfortunately, he had to stay in Seattle for work :(
Cole did great traveling again... he is becoming a pro. Here are some pictures from our trip:
Cole with Paca... the scooter outfit is just adorable. Thank you for the teething beads too!


Emily is such a great helper! Cole loved her!


We had lunch with Stacey and Kym... mmm... Papsitos!


Aunt Steph and Uncle Jon had dinner with us... a night that Jon will never forget (peas!)


My cousin Jen was so sweet to come out to Renee's to see us! (Jen, Sawyer, Campell, Amy & Cole)

this time with Lydia...


then we fall apart ;)

One of my favorite 'Houston' events is the Livestock Show and Rodeo... we had a great time and Dad spoiled us! For those of you reading our blog from Houston... go get the battered shrimp and onion skewers from the New Orleans stand next to Goode BBQ... the shrimp and the BBQ next door were both excellent!
This was the first time that I've ever visited the petting areas! I didn't let Cole touch, but he watched the goats, sheep and pigs and was reaching for them.

Another first was Pig Racing... pretty funny!



We had a wonderful stay and loved the warm breezy weather (actually hot at a few times), but it was too short!

Way too short! The pig races were hilarious. This weekend is cold and rainy, we should be so happy it was a bit hot when we went...better than cold. Love you!

My favorite picture is the one where you all "fall apart".

Jon says: the trauma from that night is not fading away from his memory bank. He loved Cole's look on his face. Totally chill! He will never forget your son's pea poop.

I will be on pea poop alert next week!
