Our very best friends from Australia came to visit us recently....and we were SO lucky to spend nearly three whole weeks showing them everything we LOVE about Texas! (Hence, why there have been no blog posts for just about ever!) We had an amazing time together and made MANY memories that we'll cherish forever! Thank you, Meg & Paul (and Jasper!), for being such once-in-a-lifetime friends and for coming ALL this way to see us! We love, love LOVE you and can't wait for when it's our turn to do the traveling and come to see you in Australia!
The boys in their carseats! Parker isn't used to having a buddy back there with him!
Of course, we HAD to introduce the Aussies to Chick-fil-A! They loved it!
Aww! Thank you, Aunt Meg for feeding me while my mommy scarfed down her Chick-fil-a!
They were a little overwhelmed with our HUGE grocery stores!
Aww...how sweet are they!?
I have SO missed this girl! It's just not right that we only get to see eachother every 2 years!
Tyson and his favorite little man.
Daddy LOVES this.
Tyson and Paul went to an American football game...the Texans weren't Tyson's number one choice to see (see where his allegiance lies-just look at the hat) but they had fun anyway!
Ah, yes! Good ol' Starbucks! They don't have one of these in Perth...but, they certainly do have a million other coffee shops that are WAY better. But, when in America, you must visit Starbucks, right?

This is how Parker and Jasper played together most of the time!
Poor little Jasper had an ear infection and had to go to the doctor while he was here! Luckily they got him some antibiotics which made him start to feel better quickly.
All three of the Aussies LOVED playing at Monkey Joes!
Parker loved it too!
I can't believe that one day soon he'll be big enough to play here!
Jasper couldn't stop smiling! Neither could Paul!
They took Jasper to get his very first haircut!!
He did great and his cut looked adorable! (Even though his mom and dad were sad to see the curls go...)
Parker LOVES to jump!! He has finally figured it out!
We took them to Texas Roadhouse (one of our faves!) and they loved it just as much as we do!
We've gone from the 4 best friends to SIX! We are so blessed!
After being in Katy for about a week, we went up to Lake Conroe to stay at my parents lakehouse...Kelly, Robert and the kiddos came and so did Keith and Katie....it was SO much fun!
Tess & Meg
Jasper loved swimming!
The guys went fishing
They went surfing too!
I think that being Australian qualifies them as naturals on a surfboard.
Love this pic!
Nona got to love on Parker!
He's not quite big enough for the pony yet....but i have a feeling he will be in the blink of an eye! Time is flying!
Parker loves to hang out with mommy in the BabyBjorn!
Believe it or not, this is exactly how his daddy sleeps!! Too cute!
Tess Marie just adores her cousin Parker James!
How lucky am I!? Snuggles with all of my favorite kiddos!
Parker absolutely loves his Aunt Kelly! She spoils him rotten!
Parker had so much fun with Aunt Kelly - but I told her to be careful because look, he is standing right on Tenley!!!
Trentster and Papa just hanging out by the pool
How PRECIOUS is this!?! He is the HAPPIEST baby ever!
Tess couldn't wait to help give her cousin a bath...
She would take over as his mommy if she could!
So playing Catch Phrase is just never ever the same once you've played with Meg....she makes this quite possibly one of the funnest games in the world! We literally couldn't stop laughing....just watch Meg's face and you'll see why!
My dad is cracking up!!
Nona read the PattyCake book to Parker and Tess!
Precious family!
Trent decided to help with bathtime tonight!
Don't the Sadlers make some beautiful lookin' kids or what?!
How cute is that?! Parker couldn't stop looking at Tyson as he read!
Tyson introduced Paul to his very first cigar! Meg says, only in America is that allowed!
We introduced them to an American FAVE....S'MORES!!
I think they were a hit!
After a few days at the lake, we went to Ty's parents house in Aledo
They have a gorgeous home, to say the least!
So sweet!
Meg and Paul loved the movie theatre room!
Parker and daddy swimming!
How happy is that baby?!
A very relaxed Middleton fam!
Parker always loves playing with PawPaw!
PawPaw sure can make some DELICIOUS ribs!
PawPaw took Meg on a Harley ride!
In-N-Out FINALLY came to Texas! Tyson's first time ever to eat at one!
The grandparents babysat so we could take a tour of Cowboys Stadium....
...that place is amazing!!!
Just look at the happiness on his face!!!
If you know my husband at all, you know that he was in HEAVEN when he got to play football on this field!!
Seriously, in HEAVEN!
Foster's...Australian for beer!
Tyson's cousin Erin came over and loved on Parker!
So did Aunt Becky!
Wow - he really did drink the whole thing! And finished it before the Aussie!
How pretty is their pool at night!?
Such a cute picture...minus the crazy guy in the background!!
Tyson's cousin Eric came and brought his guitar...Meg loved his singing!
