The Future of the NFL

Back in January, one of Jackson's best friends, McCray, had his birthday party at Cowboy's Stadium. The kids got to tour the stadium, see both the players & cheerleaders locker rooms, and play a football game of their own on the field! Pretty awesome 8th birthday party, huh?


The future Dallas Cowboys


and maybe a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader;)







We Have a Hunter on Our Hands

On November 27th, the day after his 8th birthday, Jackson shot his first deer at the deer lease in Poteet, Texas. It was an 8 point buck, and Jax (and every other man in our family) was oh-so proud!!!!

Christmas in July

So, I'm waayyyy behind on blogging ,but I guess it's better late than never!

On December 17th, we packed our bags and began the first leg of our Christmas adventure. Mamaw and Papaw met us at our first stop, the Ice exhibit at the Gaylord Texan. The theme was "A Charlie Brown Christmas." The exhibit was amazing, but so very cold!!!!





























After we thawed out from seeing Ice, we wandered around the rest of the Gaylord Texan, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas.







After seeing all there was to see at the Gaylord, we had dinner with Mamaw and Papaw and then made our way to our hotel. We had an early morning flight to Disney the next day, so we met the rest of the family at a hotel to make the morning go a little more smoothly.


Aunt Chelle sent the kids' Christmas presents with Gram and Pop. They enjoyed getting to open a few gifts early, and were very excited to receive autograph books, pens, play-doh, and games for the big trip!



The rest of our adventure continued for the next 7 days!

Look Out Florida, Here Come the Pitts!!!!

Our flight to Orlando left DFW at 7:00am, so we had to get up super early to get to the airport on time. Even though it was early, everyone was all smiles:)



The boys lined up at the window watching the planes getting ready for take off.
Corey, Gram, & Mason were the keepers of the carry-ons!

Cason had to close his eyes and giggle to make it through his very first take off.






The flight sapped everyone's energy, so they had to take a break while waiting for the shuttle bus to Disney World!

Disney's All Star Resort

Because our family is so sports-oriented, it was only natural for us to stay at Disney's All Star Sport Resort. It lived up to its' name and was the perfect place for us!

Gram loves charicatures and there happened to be a charicature artist in our hotel, so all 6 kids got together to pose for the artist. The little ones were drawn first so they didn't have to sit still quite as long!

Diggin' Downtown Disney

We took the opportunity to get a family pic at a Downtown Disney.









Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, made from Legos






The Lego Store was a big hit with Cason!







We had dinner at T-Rex, a dinosaur themed restaurant.















Maddie & Cason made dinosaurs at Build-a-Dinosaur





The boys found a Light Saber making station inside a toy store. Corey helped Jax and Cason customize their own light sabers!
