Dancing Holton

Stew and a new ride

We spent the weekend in Sulphur Springs visiting family and attending the World Famous Fall Festival!!! This event lets the good people of S.S. cook different types of stew over and open fire in the heat of September. Lucky for us the weather was perfect this year and we had so much fun showing off Holton. He even ate some of the stew - such a country boy!

In keeping with that theme, Adam picked up his new four wheeler in Texarkana. He is beyond excited about this. He's already teaching Holton how to be a true outdoorsman below.

Holton the Hunter

Whether he likes it or not, Holton is going to be a hunter. He has no choice in the matter! A little family background here – Adam and his Uncles went hunting each year on his Grandpa's land in Oklahoma. Adam still loves to hunt and talks about how great it is just to be outside and enjoying nature. I also grew up with my dad hunting every single October in Colorado. He would never dream of missing that one week a year. There is even a picture of me as a little girl hunting with my dad and having a good time (shocking to those that know me as the epitome of a city girl).

So, I understand the importance of camo, deer stands, the right binoculars and yes, even growing the beard in preparation for the annual hunting trip. With all of this hunting history Holton is bound to follow in his family’s footsteps. So to start preparing him now, my mom and dad got him his own camo overalls. He's on his way to make all the hunting men out there proud.

Notice the lack of a shirt

Holton's New Toy!

How great is Costco? We found this awesome toy for Holton while shopping for bulk supplies of paper towels, dog food, and cheap wine. Who knew they had such fun toys?


We were going to wait to give this to Holton for his first birthday, but with his recent health scare, we felt he deserved it right now! Not to mention that he's 10 months old and is crawling all over the place and wants to stand up on any random piece of furniture. Anything that will give us a few minutes of peace and quiet is priceless. So is seeing the smile on his face!
