Rainbow Trout

If you know my husband, you know that he loves to fish. And even though we no longer live near galveston, it seems he has found even more places to fish here than where we used to live. His new favorite place is a pond that is annually stocked with rainbow trout. Here is his recent catch.

doesn't he look happy?

He cleaned and filleted (sp?) the fish and I cooked it using Alton Brown's recipe. The recipe only requires a few ingredients and it is sooo tasty! We've made it a few times and it is probably one of the best fish recipes I have ever tasted! Of course, I forgot to take pictures before we gobbled it up, but if you need a fish recipe, this one is very tasty!!

Pumpkin Farm

We went to another farm last week. There were pumpkins and the normal animals, but there were also little mechanical rides. Payton had a blast!

He really likes riding horses...
and feeding animals...

a baby calf! so precious monster trucks! his favorite ride, look at the concentration on his face!
and the little munchkins posing for the mommies... they were so well behaved in letting us take this photo! (even though I think mine looks angry... :), it was the end of the day, I don't blame the little guy). We've been having alot of fun at all the different types of "farms" around where we live. :)

Longhorn in Training

Mike and I weren't the only ones excited that UT beat OU today....

Yes, Jesus Loves Me

After we put Payton down to bed at night, sometimes he sings songs to himself. One of his favorites is Jesus loves me. I recorded him one night, so we could remember how cute he sounds. The video is black because, the lights are off in his room, so don't worry it's not your computer!! Notice how he tries to reach the "high" notes. Also, if it sounds like he has something in his mouth while he is singing, he does! it's a pacifier, and really, I'm going to bite the bullet and break him of this habit before he turns 3!! (i hope)

Crazy weather

Here we are at the zoo in mid september. Pretty warm day, eating an icee (one of his favorite treats)!


2 weeks later at the zoo again....fleece, hat, gloves...brrrrr! cold!!
And last night, our first freeze! Not sure when I will get used to this crazy weather...
