Team USA...

With the world cup all over the TV lately, D is loving Soccer. When it goes to commercial "Where did soccer go"?


This special day daddy and d were chilling on the bed having a little father / son time and watching the game.

I love my boys!

Go Red, White & Blue!

Watering fun...

The little helper that our dude is, he saw me watering the plants and rinsing off the patio, that he decided to takeover.

He had fun. He would write with his chalk then wash it off. And water the plants so much they were drowning. but it was fun.

Dylan's 1st beach trip...

After a fun night, we were up an at em early in the morning to get ready for our day at the beach. Needless to say we didn't get on the road until noon. but it worked out perfect. D got to take a nap!

It's been a long while since we have been to surfside...at least 8 years. It was actually quite quaint and nice. I think I would rather make that trip than to Glaveston. Plus, my friend Amy's sister just bought a house there and we were told we could come anytime! awesome!

D had a fantastic time! immediatley took to the sand with all the toys grandma bought him. but then he found the water...and oh boy is he fearless! straight into the waves not a care in the world that it knocks him on the ground!

1st experience completely immersed in sand, salt and sun! It was fun and good times, can you tell?

Date Night...

Date nights are always fun and sometimes a first...

We had an evening out celebrating the marriage of a close friend of mine. It was a small, intimate party...and we got to see a old friend from high school and hang out with their fun extended family.

Sure enough the night ended with flip cup. Well, I guess I had had one too many b/c when I was asked to join in...I obliged!

I was the anchor girl...the one at the end. A rookie having to pull the weight, yikes! But Cody was oh so proud, I did it! I made us win every time!

It was a fun night with good times had with good friends.

Counting with "boo-berries"...

Our lil guys is obsessed with counting lately. Anything and everything and sometimes just out of the blue (literally)!

This night it was blueberries aka, in his world better known as, "boo-berries".

1-2-3-4-5-6-8...or better known as YUM!

Pure love!

I love my little man. and i swear with him being at home with daddy all day, he actually wants to spend time with me when i get home from work. before i left for the barn he came running up to me and said "Mama, I want a hug"! ahh...sweet sweet boy~

Then, I check my messages at work and he had called to leave me a message that said:

Hi Mama!

I wuv you!

bye bye!

Melted my heart and made me laugh out loud! I heart my lil man!

Fearless swimmer...

He loves the pool. no fear, jumps right in. to the point it scared me sometimes b/c i don't think he understands how dangerous it can be.



But last night he loved the pool time at grandpa and nina's instead of bath time.



Nne-na-na-na, two, three...go! jumping in out of the pool! he had a blast!\

Next up, swim lessons!

Big Boy potty!

So the dude has been waking up with wet diaper and getting more adamant about telling us when his diaper is dirty.


The other morning i bribed him that if he sat on the potty (b/c i knew he had to go) that he could watch his choo choo train show after he sat on the potty.



Low and behold a minute later he was pee pee-ing in the big boy potty! the look on his face was priceless!


Let's only hope that we can continue this great accomplishment!

Is it time for a big boy bed...?

Yep this boy is getting big.



Well this time he decided to take a plunge in the middle of the day out of his crib! :(



a few bruises and a request to go back in he was ok. My goodness. has he learned his lesson or do we really need to accept the fact he is growing up and let him have that big boy bed?

Our sports fanatic!

Daddy and D watching Team USA in the world cup.

Our lil guy loves watching sports...from football, baseball, basketball to soccer.

Happy face, Sad face...expressions!

Ok, I couldn't help myself at dinner the other night.

Sometimes he just says the darnedest things and well, makes the cutest...funniest faces!

So we decided to play a game of Happy face, sad face.

The pictures and video on my phone show a little more insight to how much fun we were having, but here are some cute...sweet and sad (not) photos! :)

We even caught daddy off guard and he just bursted out laughing...which in turn made D start giggling louder and harder. :)

Counting begins with one, two...

All I heard was daddy say "did you hear that?!" My reply was simply, "no, what?"



Well, we waited and there it was again.



D was sitting on the floor on his knees glaring at his toy and was saying to himself "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...eight"!



Completely random and all on his own the dude was counting to 10! (ok, he only made it to 8...but still!)



Our lil smart fella.

Buckin' bronco...

Ok, so nothing like old toys. As a matter of fact, the dude really never really liked his little sit and spin pony.

But lately it has to be in the living room, and he jumps on it and rides and bounces and spins when I get home from the barn. As if he is jealous I get to ride my horse and he is at home.

Of course, not that he has seen mommy fall off, but he thought it would be fun to roll off of the pony and make a game of jumping off or catapulting off of it. Of course, I like to call it "bucking". :)
