Memorial Day 2009

Memorial day weekend started off Friday with a fun happy hour at the Thompson's with a slip n slide and yummy food! We headed out to the lake just in time for the thunderstorms on Saturday. It was nice, we stayed inside and played games. The weather was nice sunday afternoon and all day monday! We headed home monday morning for some kiddie pool time, Carter loves his pool!!!

Miami

Brad and I jetted off Friday for a fun long weekend with my brother Chad in Miami. Chad has the best set up, he lives on vacation every weekend. He lives in a high rise condo in South Beach. He is from walking distance from everything!!! We spent our days on the beach soaking up some sun and doing plenty of people watching. South Beach might be the BEST place for people watching :) We saw lots of crazy things. We spent our nights on Lincoln Road eating and having fun! Thanks Chad for hosting another awesome Miami getaway! and thanks to Nana and Papa for hosting an awesome getaway for Tyler and Carter so we could have this getaway!

Mothers Day

I had an awesome Mothers Day. We spent the weekend out at Nana and Papas lake house. This was the first time we have been out there this year, so needless to say the boys had a blast. They love to drive around on the golf cart, scare the cows away, eat smores, sleep on the bunk beds and play in the Deer Stand.... what??? deer stand, we don't hunt???? oh, Papa bought this for Tyler to play on...... what??? does Papa wish for broken bones!!! so far no broken bones, but Tyler LOVES it. He actually picked sitting up there over throwing the baseball at one point in the weekend! We left the lake Sunday morning and headed home for mothers day. Brad did all the mommy duties while I layed out ALL DAY! so nice. When Carter woke up we broke out the water toys and played the rest of the day outside while Brad grilled us some YUMMY fajitas!! Awesome day!

The Sandlot

Wow, it has been a while! A couple of weeks ago we went to the Alamo Draft House for a special family showing of the Sandlot with Uncle Travis and some of his friends. The boys LOVED it! It was such a cute movie and the boys have not stopped talking about it yet. The movie was a free showing sponsored by the Round Rock Express. Four of the players were there before the movie to sign autographs and take questions. I was so proud of Tyler, he raised his hand during question time and was called on out of a full movie audience. He stood up and confidently asked the question " how old were you when you started playing baseball". It was so cute! Ever since the movie the boys wake up and head to the Sandlot aka backyard to play ball for hours! Today I walked outside and this is what I found

Carter is playing catcher with an eco friendly grocery bag around his neck as his catchers gear, and a backwards batting helmet as his catchers helmet! They are so creative!

This is me and Tyler and the Alamo getting autographs!
