Trip to Six Flags

We went to Six Flags last weekend and had a great time. We got there early and were able to walk up to the first few rides we went on! Blake and Cody rode their first roller coasters and had a lot of fun! Blake wasn't scared at all, and the only one that scared Cody was the Spongebob Squarepants ride. They're about an inch too small for the bigger little rides, so next year ought to be perfect!

Just some random pics

Haven't done anything too exciting lately...but with the birthday and holidays coming I'm sure I'll have lots to post soon!! The other little boy is our friend Drew. We went to a Rangers game with him and his mom and dad!

Mommy & Daddy go to a football game

We went to the Cowboys game last weekend with our friends down the street. We got there plenty early for tailgating and we had a blast!! Maybe just a "little" beer drinking involved.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend down at Lake Limestone with Tadd's family. For once it didn't rain on a big weekend down there, and we all had a lot of fun! The boys have really gotten to loving riding on the boat now. They're brave and jump off the back like "birds". Here's a video of Cody jumping in. See it here.
Couple of pics of the boys being silly, Cody modeling his life jacket, and Blake with cousin Morgan. And my new favorite picture of the three boys!! They are such good buddies and have such a good time together!!

Rangers Game!

Tadd and I took the boys and my mom to a Rangers game this past Sunday. We all had a good time and the boys made it all the way to the end! We were hoping the mascot would come up by us for a picture but he never got close enough. The only bummer was that when we went to get food, we missed the only home run of the night! Sammy Sosa hit one out... we missed fireworks and all!! What timing. Maybe next time!! The picture of Blake with his hand on his chest is during the National Anthem.

Pirate Party

The boys have a friend named Drew that lives down the street and he had his 3rd birthday party last weekend. It was a pirate theme and super cute! The boys got bandanas and eye patches, and even earrings. They went on a pirate treasure hunt and had a great time banging the pinata!

Couple from a month ago!

These are kinda out of order, but still cute, so I figured I'd post them. They are from the trip we took to Houston at the beginning of July to attend my grandfather's funeral. It was a sad time to go, but still nice because we got to see lots of relatives we don't see very often. My boys looked so cute in the dress clothes! And then they had a great time playing in the hot tub...with bubbles!!

Jumping party!!

We went to a cool place today called "Pump it up". It's basically a big gym with the biggest bounce houses you could imagine. There were 6 in all, and they were really cool! We played for a hour and a half, and the boys had a great time!!
(Mom had fun too...although I walked away with a plastic burn on my elbow).

Thinking this might be our 4th birthday party!

Climbing up the wall!

Swimming!

A friend of mine from work graciously allowed a couple of us and our kiddos to go swim at her pool yesterday! It was so nice and the boys had a blast, especially Cody! He had us "catching" him jumping off the edge all afternoon. Blakey was content to just hang on to us and let us do all the swimming!

Helping Dad!

As you've seen, the boys love helping Daddy do yard work. On Sunday they helped Daddy spray weeds in the front yard. Cody was really into it, and was able to tell what was weeds and what was grass! Blake just sprayed everything! And yes, we washed hands and took a bath as soon as we were done.

Vegas baby!!

Tadd and I went to Vegas last week to help celebrate Troy and Jennifer's 10 year wedding anniversary. It was my first visit there and Tadd's first since he was a kid. We stayed at New York New York and had a lot of fun. We saw the Cirque de Soleil show "KA", which was super cool, visited Fremont Street, rode a roller coaster, went to Coyote Ugly and of course, gambled. We didn't end up too much in the hole...lost about what we expected, but had fun doing it!

Kylee's birthday party

While we were in Vegas the boys got to hang out with Nandy and Papaw (to whom we are forever grateful). The day we came back Kylee had her 8th birthday party and Trish got a huge inflatable waterslide!!! Needless to say the kids had a blast! Nandy and Papaw said the boys took a while to warm up to it, but as you can see, they ended up riding it like champs. We were sad we missed it!
