Waco Weekend Wrap-up

Last Thursday Trent left for a hunting trip in New Mexico with some friends.  So the boys and I packed up and headed to Waco!  Both boys slept the entire way there AND home on Monday!  They were great travelers, sleepers, and Nana and Bop spoiled us as usual!  

 Of course G wanted to make cookies as soon as we got there! 

 On Friday we had lunch with Bop at his school!  Graham was so excited!

 Going to the park to play and feed the ducks!

 I wish you could hear the squeals behind this picture!  He thought it was hilarious!

 Breakfast at Cafe Cappuccino on Saturday morning - gameday for the Bears!

 Bennett went to get a pedicure with Nana and me - he slept the whole time!

 My BIG 7 week old!

 We tried a new park on Sunday morning, and G loved it!

 And that afternoon Gran and Poppa came to meet Bennett!  

What a special blessing that my boys have 5 great grandparents!

 On Monday morning we went to Mayborn to play!

The choo choos are his favorite!

And a bonus pic of Graham walking into school this morning...when did he get so big?!  

Trent came home last night, and we were all so excited to see him!

Thanks Mom and Dad for another fun weekend in Waco!

A Busy Weekend

What a fun and busy few days we had!  It all started on Thursday night when Trent and I enjoyed a fun date night!  His company hosted a cooking class and dinner for some clients at Brennan's downtown.  So our favorite babysitter and her sister came over to watch the boys.  They all did great!  It was a nice night out with good wine, good food, and good time with Trent!

 Love the hats!  I think I got the smallest one there, and it kept falling off!

 Love him!

On Friday evening we were ready for some fun with our boys!  Our street had a block party in the cul-de-sac with a hay ride, lots of food, and some activities for the kids.  We absolutely love our street and all of the young families.

 Bryce Petty and his football!

 G wasn't sure about the hayride at first so he and Trent rode up front in the gator.

 And then he got brave and wanted me to ride with him on the trailer!

 Chowing down on pizza!

 And trick-or-treating!  We just went to a few houses and then it was time for our next adventure...

Our car was packed, we put the boys in pajamas, fed Bennett, and hit the road for Waco for one of our favorite weekends of the year - Homecoming!

 We left at 7:30 and thought both boys would sleep most of the way - we were wrong!  Graham fell asleep 10 minutes before we got to my parents' house!

 We were up bright and early on Saturday morning eating donuts in the car on the way to the parade!

 G loved playing football with Caden and Uncle Justin!

 And he stood and watched the entire parade!  He especially loved the band!

He's been marching around the house all week yelling at the top of his lungs, "Baylor Band March!"

 Kaki and her baby doll, Bennett!

 The whole fam!

 And our family of 4!  It's always so great being back on campus!

We headed back to Nana and Bop's house for naps and lunch before going to tailgate and the game.

 Daddy and his newest football buddy!

 Love him!

 And me with my big boy!  We made it until halftime.  We were all worn out!  After a stop to pick up pizza, we crashed at Nana and Bop's house until everybody else got home from the game!

 Walking back to our car - Trent and his boys!

You would've thought the cousins were worn out from such a busy day, but no!  They had more fun chasing each other, wrestling, and playing that night at home!  And they all slept in the same room for the first time and did great!

 Bennett enjoyed some quiet snuggles with Aunt Katie!

And by Sunday, we were all exhausted! :)

Lots of pics to share!

So I'm a little behind on blogging, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stay caught up again!  There's not much spare time with two little ones! :)  But I did want to share some pictures of the last week and a half!  

 Lunch date with Stephanie and Grace last Monday for my birthday!

 HEB trip with little one!

 Picnic lunch outside with my big boy!

 And nap time peace and quiet with my little one!

 Ready for school!

 My boys!

 We tried out a new to us park by the library one afternoon...it was great!  Lots of shade and fun things to climb on that were just Graham's size!

 Walking to the park to play and picnic with friends on Thursday!

 Such sweet friends!  We love playing with Libby and Nora!

 Trent had a work dinner on Thursday night so it was my first time to do baths and bed by myself - we survived with no major meltdowns, and this was my reward!

 He's looking so big and loving some good awake time now!

 We tried out the new playground at the mall on Friday, and we LOVED it!

 My cute lunch date!

 Family date night at Escalantes on Friday night!  It was my first full week alone with both boys during the day, we all survived, so we had lots to celebrate! :)

 Oh that face and those cheeks!

 Painting a pumpkin at Grace's birthday party on Saturday!

 And loving the cupcakes!

So thankful for these two sweet friends of mine!

 Bennett slept through Sunday School and church!  We enjoyed the service from the cry room.

 Carving a pumpkin on Sunday evening - Graham was NOT fan of the inside yuckiness!

 He didn't want to take a picture with the carved pumpkin but insisted on taking one with all of the other pumpkins on our porch!

 Little brother!

 Waiting for Daddy to get home from work on Tuesday evening!

My view this morning - enjoying some quiet time with Bennett, making lists to get ready to travel this weekend, and enjoying some one-on-one time with B while Graham is at school!

So peaceful!
