Memory Monday

I have a friend who used to have memory Monday (you know who you are) and I always thought it was so fun to see old pictures.  Well the other day Carson fell asleep and it brought me back to when he was a couple of days old. So here is my momory Monday 

What a sweetheart!

Announcement time!

May I have your attention please.  As of August 26, 2012 Carson is POTTY TRAINED! Yeeee Haaaaa!  Whoopie! *fireworks* * fireworks* Yessssss! Yippie! *HuGe ClApPiNg*  I’m so proud of my little man, and he did SO well.  I’m a diaper free mamma….. and just like Mickey D’s, I’m lovin it!

Bike Ride

Way back when at Christmas time, I mentioned a “little town” that we went and visited Santa at. Well apparently all summer long they host family night on Friday’s and you can go (for free!) ride bikes and Jeeps. I discovered this with only two Friday’s left but we had fun both times we went, and will for sure be doing this again next summer! Although I didn’t grab any pictures of the boys riding the Jeep’s, I have more than enough of them on the bikes. What can I say, I’m a proud mama of two cute boys = LOTS of pictures to share :)

First day of 2nd grade!

Yup, my baby Dillon started 2^nd grade! Carson asked for him ALL day long, and is very lonely without him home.  I am enjoying the “non-fighting” but I miss him too!  Growing, growing, growing……

I don’t know what’s up with the new cheesy grin? 

Getting a little pep talk from dad.

New toy

As summer winds to an end, we inherited a fun new toy! Our “in-laws” were done with this fun inflatable slide and graciously offered it to us and we happily accepted! My boys have already gotten lots of fun hours on it, and I’m positive we will enjoy MANY more! Thanks Wursten's!

Dallas Arboretum

One day while my mom was still here we decided to go see the Dallas arboretum.  Other than the blasted heat, it was gorgeous!  I would love to go back in the spring.  I think of the things that made it so pretty is they were featuring Chihuly art.  Man that was pretty cool to see!  LOTS of pictures to share :) 

Stockyards

While we still had visitors, we also went to the stockyards.  It’s like the “old Dallas” had a lot of old town things with a little western feel to it.  THE thing to do it watch the “running of the bulls”.  I have to say I was really looking forward to this, but was sorely disappointed.  The bulls were walking, not running and it went by so fast I didn’t even have time to grad a picture.  Oh well, at least the company was fun!
