A few weeks ago we made a trip to Houston to visit family. We now officially have alot of family in Houston. Dave's sister and family moved there about a year ago and I have an Uncle and two cousins + family that all live in Houston. In fact my cousin Mechelle lives in the same subdivision as Dena. Such a small world. Aunt Dena and Uncle Chris live on a golf course that has a pond in there back yard. Dave was in heaven and fished every change he got and Ella Kate and Josh loved looking for the ducks. We had such a wonderful visit complete with great Tex-Mex food, a trip to the Houston Rodeo, flying kites in the park, and just fun time visiting with the fam.
This is the day we got there. Ella Kate is a pro at airplanes now and absolutely loves them. She sits in my lap colors, plays with stickers, and watches her DVD's. As soon as we got to Dena's house Ella Kate and Josh walked to the pond to feed the ducks.
Such sweet cousins. Ella Kate's favorite saying this trip was "Come on Josh." She loves her cousin Josh and especially loves playing with his train sets. Ella Kate is quite a little talker and at one time Josh even told her to "Be Quiet." I loved it :)

Ready to go into the Houston Rodeo. Josh let Ella Kate borrow some overalls so she would be properly dressed for a Rodeo.
LeLe got Josh and Ella Kate some cowboy hats. Ella Kate picked hers out herself. It was pink of course. 
She loves her cowgirl hat.

We got to see little piggies born. So cool.
We also got to see this chick hatch.
She loved all the animals.
But her all time favorite was riding the carousel. I think she rode it at least 4 times. She kept saying "Again, Again, Again."
She did not want anyone to hold onto her either. She would say "By myself."
Look Mommy no hands :)
Her very first Dumbo ride. ohhh I can't wait to take her to Disney World
