Trick-or-Treat!!

We had a fun Halloween around the Hughart household!! It was a relaxing day full of college football victories (Yay Beavers & Aggies!!). Then we had a night full of Halloween fun! Molly Trick-Or-Treated a few neighbor houses. She was a puppy dog this year! Since that is the only word she will say, we thought it seemed fitting. I don't think she knew quite what to think, but she LOVED to walk up to the porches!! After we got home, our house was bombarded with Trick-Or-Treaters. We even had to dig into the "Back Up" bag of candy! Molly really liked to watch out the window for the kids, the she would squeal to let us know they were there. She would stand behind me and wave to all the kids. We gave out a LOT of candy! Here are a few pictures and a video. More on Picasa: click on the last photo. We hope you had a very Happy Halloween!!

SURPRISE Grammy Janet!!!

Janet's birthday was last Friday, and Matt, Molly and I had been cooking up a great surprise since this past summer. I was able to get Friday and Monday off (I finished all my parent teacher conferences on Thursday), so we told Jim we were going to fly to Houston for the weekend! We just didn't tell Janet!! Jim was able to (secretly) get us a Pack N Play and highchair to use while we were there (thanks Cindy!), find us a ride from the airport (thanks John!). So at about 7PM on Janet's birthday, we knocked on the door.....



Do you think she was surprised??!!

We had a great weekend with Grammy & Grandpa in Texas. Molly was such a good girl on the plane. We all got upgraded to first class on the way there! She didn't sleep at all, but she made lots of friends and was very happy the whole way. Saturday, we went to a Texas pumpkin patch, celebrated Grammy's birthday, and went out to dinner at the Aquarium in downtown Houston. You eat right next to the giant tanks of fish & sharks!! Molly loved it! We also celebrated an AGGIE win over Texas Tech!!  Crazy!! On Sunday we visited some college friends of Matt's, Bill & Courtney and their 4 month old son Will. We had a great time with them and found out Molly loves great Tex-Mex! When we got back from lunch, The Burgraffs and the Meers came over to visit (lets face it, they came to see Molly!) It was great to see them too. On Monday, Molly got to see a little Texas rain. Like 2 inches in a hour!! Thunder and lightning too! Grammy took Molly on a little shopping trip and then we found Matt's favorite food in Texas-- Freebirds!! Known for their giant burritos! We ordered Molly a cheese quesadilla, but Molly was much more interested in her dad's burrito....much to his delight!! She is a little Texas girl!!

All in all, it was a great trip! We were so glad we were able to surprise Janet. Thanks everyone who helped us out with the big surprise!! Here are some photos and videos of our trip. More on Picasa! (Click the last photo)

More Beavers, and some Pumpkins!!

We had another fun filled weekend with some football and a trip to the Pumpkin Patch! Molly LOVED going to the Beaver Game yesterday. She was in a great mood the entire time! She even started clapping when other people clapped and (almost) doing the "O" when our side cheers!! Here is a short video:



Today we took advantage of the sunny weather and took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch!! Molly was much more fun this year than last! If you remember, last year she slept through most of it....and we propped her up on some pumpkins for the photos!! This year she LOVED the slide, the goats, the horse, and specially the donuts!!! Here is a comparison photo, last year at the patch and now this year:
