Pizza, Prizes, and Plenty of Fun

In our goal to take advantage of every last day of summer, we took the boys to a place Connor has been dreaming about for months.  Thanks to commercials on PBS we have long been fans of Chuck E Cheese before ever stepping foot in the place.  Mom and I decided to make a little boy's dream come true and head there for lunch.  

After we filled up on pizza Connor tried out the tv cameras on stage.  Carson loved being able to see big brother on the screen.  So cool!

When I tried to take Carson's pic this is what I got.  Silly boy!

I'm pretty sure Carson rode every car and truck in the place.  He loved pretending to drive them all.

They had tons of rides for younger kids.

Connor loved getting to go around and pick different games to play.  Basketball and skeeball were two of his favorites.

We left with a handful of prizes and a whole lot of smiles.  It was a great first trip to Chuck E Cheese.

An afternoon at home meant time to get caught up on a few posts. :)  Hopefully more coming soon.

Happy 21 Months, Carson!

Aggie Fan Day

Yesterday we went to College Station to watch some Aggie football.  There was a special free event for Aggie fans where you could watch the team scrimmage and then get autographs from the players.  The boys were excited to go on our little trip. 

Our first stop was at Blue Baker for some lunch.

We made it to the field towards the end of practice.  It was so HOT that we didn't mind not being there the whole time.

It was so cool being able to get right down on the field while they were playing.

We ended up skipping out on the autographs after seeing the huge line we would have waited in.  Instead we  headed to Koppe Burger with the Ela family.  Scott also went to A&M so it was fun for all the kids to get to see where their dads went to school.  The boys also loved getting to hang out with Hudson and Harper.

The moment we pulled out of the parking lot Carson was out.  It had been a long day for this little guy.

While he slept, we drove around and showed Connor some of the special places to us in College Station.

Here is our apartment we lived in during our first year of marriage.

My first job was teaching 3rd grade at Allen Academy.  Here is the Lower School building that I worked in.

 The year after I left they built their new building.  It was fun to see it all complete.

 We also took one more drive around campus to show Connor a few more things.

It was fun getting to see some things from our past and share them with the boys.  Lots of fun memories! 

Watering Day

Flying By

Lately, I have been trying to soak up every minute with this sweet boy.      

At the end of the month, Connor will start preschool.

He is more than ready, while I on the other hand am not quite ready for my baby to go off to school.  Even though I am going to miss having him home every day,  I know it will be a great experience for him. 

 For now we will just enjoy these last days of freedom!

(Thanks Aunt Rachel for these fun pics at our land.)
