We dedicated one day to each of the four major parks. The day we went to Magic Kingdom we just didn't fit it all in. So...the next day they had "magic hours" and the park opened at 7 am. Yep, we were there at 7:00 sharp and walked up to any ride we wanted to. I highly recommend the whole magic hour thing!!<br />
Animal Kingdom was the last park we did and it was fun! Going on the African safari was the highlight of this park, the kids loved seeing all of the animals!<br />

Now, Disney is awesome, fun and magical, but it's a TRIP, not a vacation. It was exhausting but we had a blast! We did not go over the top with planning every single second of the day...we rolled with the flow and did things according to what the kids were up for. Example...we had a story time with Belle lined up one day. Sydney was OVER meeting characters so we ditched that plan and rode some rides instead. Some three year olds dig characters, mine did not. No big deal!<br />
The pictures will do the talking, it was a memorable trip for sure!!<br />

For Christmas James and I gave each other a Pelaton bike. Y'all, I'm obsessed! You have to find what motivates you to keep working out and for me it's cycling! I love having the option to workout at home when I can't make it to the gym. When we built our house we finished out the attic (future media room or something) so that's where we put it. There are windows for natural light and I can lock myself up there away from everyone and get my sweat on! ;)</div>

Halloween this year was pretty eventful. First of all, it was warm! Like wear shorts out trick or treating warm. Like Parker had sweat running out of his head warm because his costume was hot. I'm all for warm weather but on Halloween night, maybe a bit of a chill in the air is good?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About an hour before we put the costumes on the kids, Sydney fell off of a toy in the driveway and got major road rash on her face. Bad. Took the hide off of her forehead, nose and lip bad. Nothing like messing your face up before you put on a gorgeous princess dress! :) She looked beautiful regardless, it's a memory for sure!</div>

Trick or treating lasted about an hour but what they really couldn't wait for was going back home and sitting on our front porch to hand out candy. Our neighborhood gets completely swamped on Halloween. We finally ran out of candy at 9:00 and the lights went off, whew!</div>

So I ran into Hobby Lobby the other day while both kids were in school and I was met with an overwhelming Christmas wonderland. I know they put it all out in July, but the decor has taken over the store. I found this guy and was not leaving without him. He is about 3 feet tall and is perfect for the hearth of my living room fireplace. I collect nutcrackers so he's the perfect addition!!</div>

The two favorite recipes of the night were Mix and Match Mama's <a href="http://mixandmatchmama.com/bar-11-pumpkin-magic/" target="_blank">Pumpkin Magic Bars</a> and this "Harvest Hash" I found on Pinterest but I ended up drizzling in white chocolate to take it over the top. Both were very yummy!!</div>

Last week, Sydney's little 3 year old preschool class took a field trip to the pumpkin farm. I am a sucker for tagging along on field trips. These babies are only little once and one day I will miss these precious days. I love watching her have so much fun with her friends and want to show me around! </div>

Also, this past Sunday we went out to our ranch to watch my niece, Katherine and nephew, Blake, get baptized in the lake out there. Both of them accepted Jesus as their personal savior at Kanukuk camp last summer and they wanted to follow the example Jesus gave us and be baptized. It was extra special because James's Uncle Steve is an ordained minister and performed the ceremony. Pretty awesome!!</div>

We don't really give each other gifts on anniversaries but I noticed he was breaking our rule and bearing a gift. When I opened the box, all I saw was a black t-shirt, what? I don't really wear t-shirts (unless it's a Baylor one) so I was confused. I unfolded it and the t-shirt was an I heart NY shirt! He surprised me with a trip to NY...I was SO pumped because I've never been and I've always wanted to go in the fall!! James had been before so he was the perfect tour guide and trip planner.<br />
<br />
His parents kept our kids and we took off last Wednesday and returned Saturday night and it was all I hoped for and more! I love this city and everything about it, I already can't wait to go back one day!!<br />

Foot loose and fancy free and heading to NYC!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We arrived around 6:00 pm NY time and that wasn't ideal, hello rush hour. We took an Uber to our hotel (The Roosevelt in midtown) which ended up being way better than a taxi because he went through the back streets and avoided the locked down highways. </div>

Dinner that night was at Gramercy Tavern...fantastic food and atmosphere, I highly recommend. It was a hip, New York place to eat.</div>

We had tickets to go up to the Top of the Rock and see the city from way up high, 64 floors up high. I liked this because we had a time to be there and we didn't have to wait in line (unlike the Empire State Building where evidently the lines are long)!</div>

Ya'll, according to the Garmin watch James wore the whole time, we walked a total of 37 miles in just over 2 days. The weather was perfect, there was so much to see and we like walking. Let's just say my hips and calves were sore but you know what? My feet never felt tired because of my Sketchers Go Walks! These shoes rock!!! If you are doing NYC or Disney World or anything of the sort, order you some!!</div>

And sassy pants after ballet one day. She ripped her white tights (on purpose) because she didn't want to go to ballet. She went anyway with bare legs and came out smiling. Bonus...she got to ditch the ballet slippers for cowboy boots. I may not have a ballerina in my future but I love her anyway! ;)</div>

Summer was a lovely break but I do love me a good routine. Parker started second grade (cry) and little Sis started 3 year old preschool (hooray)! I love my time at home with Sydney but Tuesdays and Thursday with her at school are pure gold. <br />
She also started ballet and it's pretty much the cutest thing on the planet. When I was pregnant with her, we were surprised with her gender and when I found out she was a girl I embraced all things pink and knew one day I'd have her in a pink ballet outfit...love!!!<br />

I'm mad at myself for doing it because this is the most perfect way to "scrapbook" these wonderful years of having little kids and watching them grow into big kids. I like to document the big stuff and little stuff as well. The days are long but the years are short and one day I will want to remember it!!<br />

I am not going to play catch up since last March, I am going to start with highlights from the summer and move on! My kids love looking through the blog books I print from this blog, so kids...this is for you!!<br />

Parker started playing golf at age 2 with a plastic club. This is on the golf course at the Broadmoor so evidently, the plastic club even traveled with us!</div>

Over Spring break, we went on our second Disney cruise with James's family and it was JUST as fun as the one we did last March! Last year on my blog, I went into much more detail about the ship itself...if you're interested in seeing that post, <a href="http://jamesandlaurenaustin.blogspot.com/2015/03/disney-cruise-2015.html" target="_blank">look here</a>.<br />
Our stops this year were Tortola, St. Thomas and Castaway Cay in the Bahamas. Disney knows what they are doing and it's fun for everyone, no matter what age you are!! I'm going to let the pictures do the talking!!<br />

On Tuesday we were in Tortola. We chartered a boat and island hopped all day long...it was fantastic!! Only our family was on the boat and we snorkeled the caves at Norman Island (parts of Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed there), went over to Cooper Island for lunch and ended the day at Virgin Gorda exploring the famous Baths. It was the BEST day!</div>

When your hubby has business in sunny CA...you make sure you get to come along! Neither of us have spent a lot of time out there so it was fun to be a tourist and enjoy being on the coast!! I was on celebrity watch the whole time, I just knew we would run into a famous movie star, singer, night show host...SOMEONE! Like if anyone was wearing a ball cap with big sunglasses, I just knew we were seeing someone famous...James thought I was just crazy and he kept reminding me that even "normal people" wear caps and sunglasses, whatever!<br />
We didn't see anyone, only their names on the walk of stars! Ha! Pretty typical of the luck I have. Anyway, we had a blast together and it's always fun to travel to a new place!<br />

I want to make sure and complete 2015 so I can move on to the present! <br />

The holidays were so fun! We were in Dallas for Thanksgiving, we went back the week before Christmas and then just enjoyed Christmas break at home! Christmas was extra special this year because we celebrated it in our new house for the first time! Memories are being made which makes it feel more and more like home.<br />

Halloween this year was extra fun because we are in our new neighborhood and they go all out! Not only all out with decorations, but all out with candy too. In fact, the rest of Amarillo comes to our neighborhood to trick or treat, so it gets crazy crowded! We got our kids out early and then headed back to our house to hand out candy. Parker and Sydney had more fun handing out candy than they did going trick or treating, so funny!<br />

The last time I posted was Memorial Day weekend, we've been just a tad busy and I've even toyed with giving up this blog. I know the day will come though when my kids are grown and my life is boring and I might just want to sit down and sob over these sweet days when they were little! ;) So I press on in the blogging world with the small hope in the back of my mind that one day, I'll become consistent again! Miracles do happen.<br />
<br />
The whole summer went by and I posted nothing about it. I'm going to choose a picture or two from each "event" and leave it at that. I must move forward because we have started a new school year and a new season is upon us!!<br />
<br />
Here's what happened this summer…<br />
