Everything is BIGGER in Texas!

We just got back from a great trip to see our dear friend Erin in Texas. My friend Mel and I and our boys started our journey last Saturday. It was an adventure getting through security at the airport as single mothers-but it was all worth it! We had a great, laid back week playing in Dallas, Texas. Our week was full of walks, playgrounds, shopping, cattle drives, BBQ, Mexican food, swimming, naps, movies and late night visits. We had such a great time! Thanks Erin and Jimmy for your hospitality!

At the Dallas Forthworth airport, Mel and I had a good laugh at the chicken place we grabbed some lunch at. There was a option on the menu for a "breast substitution" for a dollar more-is that all it costs in Texas? Afterall-everything is bigger in Texas!

Ayden riding on a saddle at Hard Eight Pitt BBQ with BBQ sauce all over his face. We enjoyed a lot of great food!

We spent one afternoon in the backyard with a blow-up pool. We thought it may entertain the kids for 20 minutes or so-3 hours later, we ended up bathing them in the pool and then sticking them in bed! I love this picture of Ayden's belly!

Poor Ayden got his mother's bum!

Hannah after coming up from a cold drink of water from the pool-I love this face!One of our playground trips was to this amazing park with a huge wooden playground. It was darling! This kids had a blast!Isaac playing peek-a-boo!

We are grateful for such great friends! Ayden is going to think I am the most boring person now that he has had these fun kids to play with! Thanks again guys!

About Time!

I have been really bad at the blogging thing lately-but I am determined to do better! These are just some funny pictures we have snapped recently.

The other day when I was making my nephew Cael his bottle, I left him in the bouncer. This is what I found when I came back...

I guess Ayden thought Cael looked like he was having fun-and wanted to be a part of it too. Cael didn't seem to mind too much!

We also went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. Ayden was a little nervous around the animals. I would give him the food to feed the animals, and he would either throw it at them from a distance to walk to the trash and throw it away. When it came time for the pony ride-I was pleasantly surprised that he actually liked it and didn't get too freaked out. And of course Ayden loved lunch-well at least the cookie he had with his lunch.
