Fall fun in North Texas
Ahhh, the signs of fall were all around this past weekend as North Texas was blessed with a cool front and beautiful blue skies. Matt and I spent Friday night at our first CHHS football game. We enjoyed all the festivities homecoming provided; there was a faculty tailgate before the game, plenty of mums and garters to gawk at, and a terrific football game to top off the entertainment.
On Saturday we took advantage of the weather and had some fun with Jiff at the park. I happily sat in my chair and watched my boys run around, it was so relaxing. Later that afternoon we went out to the Texas Sate Fair in Dallas. It was my first time there and we spent about 4 hours taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the event. We enjoyed hot and crispy corny dogs, the auto show, lots of people watching, a few fireworks and of course topped off the night with some funnel cake!
Sunday was equally as great. You know it’s fall in the Yeager house when the Kansas City vegetable soup is on the stove. Daddy would have been proud of this pot of wonderful goodness. Jiff decided he wanted to take a cooler road to the day and went for the ice. I had put a large mass of ice in his water bowl thinking it would melt for later but he had other plans. We are still cleaning up the water!
We’re already making plans for the next great fall weekend. Looks like it’ll be another CHHS football game as they play their rival Grapevine High. That should be a great game. We’re also talking about checking out the impressionists exhibit at the Kimball Art Museum here in Fort Worth. Matt and I are determined to enjoy every weekend until the baby comes, and of course plan to enjoy every weekend after the baby comes, just in a different way! Until then!

What a great weekend! The corny dogs & funnel cake looked good, but not as yummy as your soup & biscuits! Looks like Jiff met his match with the iceberg!
Have a good week and GET SOME REST!
Love & Hugs to Baby Hop and both of you!

The corn dogs were pretty good. The spicy sausage on a bun was outta-the-park great. Lindsey’s soup was the best I’ve had in a long time, and she made a ton. I couldn’t think for a better addition to that than Grandma’s biscuits!

Great pics! I didn’t get to go to the Fair this year. Thanks for the glimpse. What? No chicken fried bacon?
Hugs to ya’ll and special one to Jiff. He looks like a very happy camper.

I laughed really hard at the second pic of Jiff with the ice. What can I say – Im a sucker for doggy personality!
