Tyler's Party

We decided to have Tyler's party on his actual birthday this year since all of our weekends are so busy. It turned out great! All of his friends were able to make it, they all played so hard I am sure no one had a hard time sleeping last night!
Here are some pictures of the event! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Tyler

WOW, 5 how did that happen, my little boy is FIVE!! He is so excited about his party tonite he can't control himself! Tyler has had a great 5 years on this earth, he has the best family, brother and friends. His favorites are Spiderman, Star Wars, any super hero, playing with his "brother" Kaden" (and sometimes his real brother!) swimming, hanging out with his BFF aka Nana, and riding his bike WITHOUT training wheels! He is really a good kid, he did not start out that way however. Tyler was a CRYER! as a baby. In fact if I could have found a way to get him back in my tummy for another few months I might have done it! After he decided the world was not so bad he relaxed and became a good kid. I am so honored to be his mom and get to spend everyday with him and his brother watching them grow!

Fun filled Weekend!

It is allergy season for me and it never fails that my allergies will turn into a sinus infection! But this was not going to keep me home on a fun, sunny weekend! We woke up Saturday morning and decided we were going to head to Austin for the Old Pecan Street Festival. We called and Nana and Papa to see if they wanted to go with us, so they came over and off we went. The festival was fun full of shopping, food, drinks, weird men spray painted in silver (see picture below) and a few kid things. After the festival we took advantage of being in Austin and ate at Moonshine. Since we never really go to Austin it is fun to eat local when we are there. The food was yummy!
After Brad woke us all up from nap (yes,me too!) we headed to Jungle Java for some free play time. It was their grand opening special where the admission was FREE!!! The kids love this place! In fact, we will be there Monday for Tyler's b-day party!

The winner!
There were a lot of big kids there an Saturday, so they did not get much basketball time in!
But when Carter finially got his ball, he went and hid under the stairs with it!
Brad's purchase at the festival! Cowboy koozie, that came with a cold beer!!!

Carter could not be left out... he had to have a sword just like Brother!
Nana and Papa watching the boys get their arms painted!
Weird silver man that made funny noises with his mouth! Tyer and Carter were both freaked out by this guy! We got Tyler to put money in his tip bucket and he got to get his picture and a cool necklace!!

8 Wonderful Years!

I am a little late, but Tuesday Brad and I shared our 8th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it has been 8 years, time has really flown by. Brad and I met while partying, uh I mean studying at SWT, now Texas State! Once we graduated we headed for Austin for our future together. Now 2 kids and 8 years later here we are!

We were so young!!!

Weekend full of Bithday Parties!

I had been planning and working hard getting ready for my show in Marble Falls then IKE came along!!! The chamber cancelled the show and here I am left with a bunch of stuff! Oh well, I am just that much more ready for my next show. Since my plans changed we were able to attend little Ethan's Birthday party on Saturday at Chucky Cheese! The kids had a blast playing with Nana and all the great games CC has to offer. Sunday was a LAZY day except for Kaden's Birthday party at Mel's Bowling Alley in G-town. It was a lot of fun, it is a really nice NEW Bowling alley if you are in the area I would definitely suggest it! Now it is time for Tyler's Party! only 7 more days.....

How Bout Them Cowboys!

On Sunday we left Arlington for Plano to watch the Cowboy's game at my cousin's house. We had been planning this trip since we saw them at the reunion back in July. They have this awesome great big media room with a huge screen and a projector. We had better seats than if we were at the game! Tyler loves playing with their son, Luke. I knew they would have fun when Luke welcomed us wearing a Star Wars costume! They played Star Wars all night long. Carter loves their daughter and she took care of him all night, it was great! After the game we hit the pool and hot tub while Micheal cooked some awesome hamburgers. I can't wait until the next game, we are going to go broke on gas!!! I did not take many pictures, but here are a few!

Happy birthday K-Dog!

Happy Birthday Brother! Love Your Brother Tyler!

Giddy Up!

We loaded the car early Saturday morning and headed north! Our first stop was the National Cowgirl Museum in Fort Worth. We met Grammy, Grandpa and Ganaw there. The kids had a blast in the children's area and dressing up like a cowboy! For lunch we headed to the Purple Cow where Tyler drank so much purple milkshake he thought he was going to be sick! After a little nap the kids where ready for some swimming at Grammy and Grampa's. Sunday morning we were able to get a little park time in before we had to head to Plano for our next adventure.

Tyler's a genius!

Ok, so maybe not a genius, but pretty darn close! I always wondered if I was holding Tyler and Carter back from what all they could be learning if they went to preschool everyday rather than staying home with me. I guess there are learning while shopping with me and hanging out in the kids gym!!!
I know it is hard to read, but Tyler told me he wanted to write on his chalk board "Bike without training wheels" because he is so proud of himself that he can ride his bike now. I told him how to spell it and this is what he wrote all by himself!! His "i" look like "p" but we can work on that!!

Carter's First Day of School

It is finally here, Carter's first day at Ms Connies! We have been talking up this event for some time now and he was super excited. We got his backpack ready with all the essentials and we were off! We made it to Ms Connies by about 8:00 ( yes I was a little excited too) we walked in and she was ready with waffles for him! Since food was involved he did not even notice that I left. I had a great morning of working out and getting my hair cut. It was a great day, very refreshing! The house is spotless!! Around 4:30 I decided it was time to go see how my baby did. I walked in and he was at the table playing. From the looks of it he had a great day, Ms Connie said he only cried once right before nap, but otherwise did great! We celebrated a successful first day of school with some jr banana splits from Sonic!! Hope next wed goes this good too!
