Weekend Wrap-up

Where has this week gone?! I can't believe it is Wednesday and I'm just now getting around to writing about our weekend!

Anyways...Friday evening started with grilling out with some friends! They live in our neighborhood, and they have a two year old boy, and a sweet girl that is a month younger than Graham! It was a lot of fun and busy so I don't have one single picture! We got a good laugh, though, that it was scheduled from 5:30-7:30 so we could get babies to bed! My how things have changed! :)

On Saturday morning we enjoyed being lazy and just hanging out! Then after Graham's nap, we headed out to run some errands and for lunch! Our first stop was Babies R Us for some baby proofing items! Graham started crawling last week and is trying to pull up on everything. My main concern is the fireplace so we got one of the cushions to put around the edge. We also hit up Hobby Lobby and Spec's! And we ate a yummy lunch at Freebirds!

First thing on Saturday morning, we sent Cousin Caden a good luck picture for his big race!  And we are so proud of him!  I'm pretty sure he ran the mile faster than I can! :)

 Umm when did he get so big?!

He's wondering why I won't let him have any chips and salsa!

That afternoon our Sunday School class had a BBQ picnic at the park in our neighborhood!  We walked on over with our contributions of baked beans and brownies.  It was so much fun hanging out, and Graham loved playing with his friends!

 My boys on the walk over...G is awake, just caught him with his eyes closed!

 Graham and Ella!  They are about 8 weeks apart!

Playing in the bubbles!  Trent was having Graham kick them...I wish you could hear the giggles from this pic!  He was loving it!

On Saturday night, Graham had a rough night...he was super fussy during the night and had a hard time staying asleep.  Our best guesses are either teething or a growth spurt, but who knows!  So after being up a lot with him, we watched church online from our couch! :)

 Finally back to my happy boy on Sunday afternoon!

 And I managed to run to Carter's to hit up their 50% sale!  I felt like if I didn't go, then I would be wasting money! :)  I got this new swimsuit for G for $2.17 thanks to their sale and a $10 off coupon I had!!!  He wore them to swim class today and looked super cute! :)

Hope y'all are having a great week!

Spring Break Part II

The second half of spring break brought a much anticipated visit from The Cousins!  Graham was ready to show them all of his new tricks!  They arrived about lunchtime on Wednesday, and everybody was so excited to see each other that no one took a nap! :)  So we headed over to the park to play!

 Quite the trio...lots of trouble in their future! :)

 Going for a ride! 

 Not a care in the world!

We spend lots of time playing in the backyard too!

 Bubbles on the patio!

Love these three so much!

And there were lots of cousin cuddles to be had!

The boys!

 Kaki and her baby doll! :)  As you can see, there was close supervision!

 I had my arms full!  Graham was zeroing in on Kaki's hair!

Showing off their treats from the zoo!

On Thursday morning we loaded up my car to the brim and headed to the zoo, along with everybody else on spring break it seemed!  But we managed just fine...rode the carousel, ate a picnic lunch, saw lots of animals, and picked out stuffed animals to take home!

 My buddy while I was getting ready! 

All loaded up!  You can't see the double stroller in the back!

 We're here!

Carousel time!

 Me and my boy!

 Our tour guide Caden ready to take us around the zoo!

 At least I'm looking, right?!

 It was a long trek back to the car with a couple of melt downs by all of us! :)  Kaki gave us her best cheese while Graham slept away!

Cousin bath time was a favorite by all!  Talk about all hands on deck! :)

How Caden MUCH preferred it! :)

We were sad to see the cousins go on Friday morning...we had so much fun and made so many great memories!  We can't wait to see y'all again!

And you can come back ANYTIME because Graham took 2 hour and a half naps that day!  Ha!  They wore him out! :)

But we still had plenty of fun in store for the weekend!  Trent and I had tickets to see Blake Shelton at the rodeo on Friday night thanks again to some of his clients, and we also enjoyed sitting in a suite again! :)  Our good friends, the Mitchell's, baby sat Graham for us, and then we traded with them on Saturday night and baby sat their sweet little Grace!  It worked out perfectly!

All dressed up for the rodeo...my mom wanted to see a pic!  And yes, I wore my cowboy boots to the rodeo both times, and now they're back in my closet until next year! :)

Going to play at the park on Friday evening!

 Stephanie texted me this pic of how he fell asleep!  Don't worry, she laid him down right after this!

 Blake Shelton put on an awesome concert!

 Playing at the park on Saturday evening!

 Just a swingin'!

So much fun with these two!  And it showed me how much I need to baby proof my house! :)

On Sunday we enjoyed church, lunch, and lots of family time!

 Our normal babysitter's mom is one of the nursery directors so she always plays with Graham on Sunday mornings!  She texted me this pic during Sunday school!  He was really sleepy!

 Some patio time!

 And of course some play time at the park!  What a cool dude!

My boys!  Oh how I love them!

And that wraps up our fun and busy spring break week!

Spring Break Part I

We had such a fun and adventurous spring break that I have to divide it into 2 posts!  And even though I'm no longer teaching, it was funny to me how our schedule still seemed to revolve around everyone else's spring break! :)  So here is the first part of the week...

 Ok, so this was actually the Thursday before, but I had to include it...we had a last minute lunch date with Daddy at Panera!

Bubble time at Gymboree class on Friday!  I just have to say how much Graham LOVES this class!  

Playing at home on Friday afternoon...he is TROUBLE!!!

 On Friday night, Trent and I headed to the rodeo on a party bus and sitting in a suite to see Tim McGraw thanks to some wonderful clients of his!  Graham stayed home and got to play with his favorite babysitters!  I got this pic before he went to bed!

 Such a sweet time on Saturday celebrating one of my besties Joanna and her sweet Anna Marie.  I'm so thankful for these girls!

And then on Sunday, the real adventure began!!  Graham and I packed our bags and headed to the airport to fly to Dallas.  We were making a special trip to Sherman so Grandma could meet Graham!  Nana and Bop were driving from Waco to Dallas and offered to pick us up, which I was much more willing to fly with Graham for the first time than to spend 5 hours in the car! :)  And he did AWESOME!!  He fell asleep on my shoulder before we even took off, woke up 30 minutes later to eat, and then fell back asleep until we pulled up at our gate.  It couldn't have been easier!

 Not so sure about this whole flying thing...

 Worn out in the car driving to Sherman!

 Meeting Grandma for the first time!

 My cousin Mary, Uncle Scott, and Aunt Mimmie came over that evening as well...G loved Cousin Mary, as Caden always refers to her! :)

 Just playing!

 Showing off his new skill!

 Saying bye until next time!

 And then we had a special lunch stop on our way back to Dallas...YUMMY!

 He was worn out!  

Graham stayed awake the whole flight until the last 10 minutes on the way back.  He wasn't fussy, just busy, but thankfully we sat next to a nice grandmother going to see her grandkids so she was very friendly and understanding!

 Riding the shuttle back to our car!  So proud of ourselves!

 After we got home on Tuesday evening, we loaded up and enjoyed a family walk and the extra hour of daylight!  A good walk always includes a stop at the swings! :)

My happy boy!

Stay tuned for Spring Break Part II...you won't want to miss hearing about our special visitors to Houston!!
