Mimi, Popple, And Their Grandsons....

My parents came into town to see their grandsons the weekend of March 26th. Of course the boys loved it and were spoiled to pieces!! :) Braden bawled his eyes out when they left on Sunday. It kind of broke my heart. :) I think he is ready to go and spend a week with them at this point!! HA! When can we set that up Mom and Dad? LOL! :) But in all seriousness.....it was awesome to have them here and we had a great time. They were also very helpful with everything that we needed (since Brant had just come home earlier in the week). You can tell by this pic that Braden was a happy little boy. :) He loved watching TV with his Popple. :) Cool little dude was getting ready for his Saturday adventures. :) Mom, Dad, and I took Braden out to the Austin Rodeo, and he thought it was a pretty cool deal. I think he had a great time...and of course I loved watching his reaction to everything. :) In the petting zoo..... I was so surprised that Braden wanted to stand off to the side and observe. The last one that we took him too he was all over the animals. :) There was a kangaroo in there! What? Deer, goats, sheep, and then a kangaroo? :) Checking out the John Deere tractor.....We headed over to the Livestock show and what a treat!! Braden was able to see all of the animals that he makes sounds for daily. :) He got to see pigs, cows, sheep, goats,chickens, roosters, bunnies, etc all up close and personal. :) I think the cows were starting to bore him here b.c they did not do anything. HA!A Longhorn!! WOW.... Even though we are Aggies, he could appreciate this huge animal. :) This cow is kinda cool!I LOVE bunnies!!!Wow..this cow is really close to me! :) Time for the fairgrounds! :)

Look at me go! I am wearing Popple out! :) I want one of these. :) Our parents are always so sweet when they come and they let us go out on fun date nights!! We are oh so appreciative of that. :) This time we headed to another new restaurant to give it a whirl and a thumbs up or down. This one got a thumbs up like most of the others that we have been to lately. All of these new places to eat in Austin ROCK!! We love it! :)

We headed out to TNT....better known as Tacos and Tequila. :) Mmmmmmmmm...they had the BEST margaritas!!After some tacos and margaritas we thought it was time to head down and check out Gourdough's. One word-YUM! :) Simply put...it is a donut trailer on steroids!! These donuts are INSANE! :) The menu had the coolest things on it....and they were so good! Very rich but very good!

This one was called "Mama's Cake" which is yellow cake batter filling with chocolate fudge icing. Um, ok!!And this one was "Bring on the Heath" with cream cheese icing and heath bar chips. Scrumptous! :) Way too much for one person to eat but it sure is fun to taste them! :)

Thanks for a fun weekend Mom and Dad. We loved having you here and cannot wait until you come back again soon! :)
