Weekend Wrap-up

We had a fun road trip this weekend to a friend's ranch in South Texas, near Pearsall.  It was so nice to be in the country and enjoy the outdoors and nice weather!  Getting there, though, was another story....Graham slept MAYBE 15 minutes of the 3 1/2 hour drive...it was rough on all of us!  BUT we made it! :)

It's not a true road trip until you stop at Buc-ee's!  Graham's first time!

 SOOOO glad to be out of his car seat and ready to play!

 Enjoying some patio time!

 And a beautiful sunset!

 The boys!  Our friends have a 2 year old and one that is 2 weeks older than Graham!

 Enjoying a ride around the ranch...dressed up for pictures!

Me and my 'lil cowboy!

 One of my faves!

And I just LOVE his sweet smile!

Then we had a real treat on Sunday afternoon when Nana and Bop came to Houston to stay with us!  Graham loved showing them all of his new tricks!  Bop had a work conference on Monday so Nana came to music class with us, and then we did some shopping!  Somehow I didn't get any pictures with them.  We loved the short but sweet visit!

At music on Monday morning!

I hope you all have a great week!

Weekend Wrap-up

We enjoyed a weekend at home getting things done around the house and seeing some friends!  Friday night started with a walk to the park and ordering pizza...my favorite kind of night!

On Saturday morning we were ready to get some landscaping done in the backyard.  Trent tore up some bushes, built a flower bed with rock, put up Graham's swing, and planted some new flowers!  While he was doing this, I was able to sneak away for a bit to do some shopping!  I found Graham and I some new spring clothes!

 Playing before bedtime on Friday!

 Our outdoor kitchen in progress...should be finished soon!

The supervisor of the yard work! :)

It was such a nice day, and we got to enjoy the afternoon at the park with friends celebrating a sweet friend's 1st birthday!

 Taking some crawling lessons from Ella!

 Sweet friends and babies!

 Swinging with Ella!

Our Week in Pictures

So glad it's Friday after a fun and busy week!  I tried to document everything we did!  Enjoy the pics!

 Lunch date with Libby after music on Monday!

 Rocking on all fours...SOOO close to crawling!

 First time to ride in the cart!

 I couldn't get him to look at me...he was turning every which way and taking it all in!  He loved it!

 Zoo with Stephanie and Grace on Wednesday!

 Me and G with the giraffes!

 Graham is thrilled with the lions!

 His first time to ride the carousel...he was smiling and giggling the whole time!

 Sic 'em...can't really see the Bears back there!

 Reading one of his MANY Valentine cards from his adoring fans! :)

 Dinner with Ella at Chick-fil-a!

 Having a cute convo!

 Passed out after his bottle...didn't even make it to his room!

 But then he was awake at 4am ready to play!

 My 'lil Valentine!

 First attempt at sweet potatoes...

 It was a success!  And tonight went even better!

 Waiting at the car place to get the oil changed!

 Playing in our room while I was getting ready!  I put him more in the center of the room with one toy, and then I come out to find him at the basket pulling his other toys out!

 One of our neighborhood girls delivered this deliciousness today! :)

 Swinging at the park this evening after Trent got home from work!

A 'lil play time before bed!

TGIF!!

Weekend Wrap-up

So I'm just now getting around to blogging about our fun weekend!  I don't know where this week has gone!

We started our weekend with a picnic at the park on Friday with our good friends Joanna and Anna Marie.  We had a fun time visiting and watching the babies play!  Sweet Anna Marie just laid there so peacefully and quietly....Graham on the other hand was all over the place, trying to eat grass when he made it to the edge of the blanket, grabbing at things in my lunch, trying to hold Anna Marie's hand, etc...

 Sweet babies!

Then Graham rested up and was ready for our roadtrip to Waco!  We were going to celebrate Bop's birthday and to hang out with the family!  We got there on Friday night, and Graham was happy to show off all of his new tricks.  Nana and Bop couldn't believe how much he'd changed in just the few weeks since they last saw him!

On Saturday morning we had a good visit with Gran and Poppa who made the short drive to see Graham.  He worked his charm and flashed his smile and had everybody laughing!  He loves putting on a show and being the center of attention! :)

Then Graham was excited to see his Uncle J!  But sooooo sad to hear that his cousins couldn't make the trip due to nasty sickness...we're glad they're feeling better now, and we REALLY hope to see them soon!

 Hey Uncle J!

And then we all loaded up and headed to cheer for the Bears play basketball vs. Tech!  I wasn't sure how Graham would do, but he LOVED all of the lights and sounds!

 Taking it all in!

 Break for a bottle!

 My sweet boys!

He was loving playing with Trent's hat!

 Back at the house, we enjoyed Poppa Rollo's pizza, and then Graham was singing and dancing with the birthday boy!

 And we all enjoyed a movie after Graham went to bed!

We headed home Sunday morning!  It was a busy day around the house as we packed up lots of baby stuff, switched carseats, and got ready for a busy week!

 Graham enjoying some exercise!

 A little floor time!

And the new carseat!  I think he likes it! :)

We hope you had a great birthday, Bop!  We were so glad we could be there to celebrate you!  Waco weekends are always so fun!
