San Diego - A Sneak Peek

 Here's a quick look at the beginning of our trip.  4:30 am wake-up call was no problem.  The boys darted out of bed and were singing, they were so excited. On the plane, ready to roll. Do you see what Jude has in hand? The safety guide. It was the first thing he read every single time we boarded. Ha ha ha. So cute.  He told me he wanted to stay safe. And he made sure to ask me each time if we were going to crash. I told him we were safer in that plane than in Mommy's car! "Are you sure?" was his response. As long as Liam had his paci, he didn't care about anything else. He was ready for the adventure.

Each of them had their own backpack filled with toys, treats and snacks. They were completely occupied the whole time. Yay Mommy! 

 As soon as we landed our friends picked us up and we prepared for Liam's birthday celebration (Jude's too - we celebrated early!)

 (That's Madelyn. She's 3.5)

 My sweet friend Stephanie prepared chicken parm. Yum!

Day two - LEGO LAND!  Jude was stoked.  When we got to Mini Land and he saw all the billions of legos, he said, "Mom this really is Lego Land."

Our trip was packed with tons of fun and lots of adventure.  There are more pics to come from the real photographer. Right about the time Jude started driving his lego car above, my camera battery went out. Bummer. More later.

Oh - one more that my friend Stephanie took on her phone...Adam and I at dinner for our 8 year anniversary.

Catch Up

Whew...we've been busy around here...daytrips in Dallas/Plano, Ft. Worth Zoo, San Diego, Birthdays...it's been an extravaganza!  Here are a few outtakes...

Daytrippers - taking the DART to downtown Plano for some family fun!

 Feeding the Ducks - our old stomping grounds in Highland Park.

Packing for San Diego...

 there's something in our luggage!

our goofy boys! Why did we buy them tickets?  We could have saved a ton on airfare.

For more pics of Daytrippers and Feeding the Ducks, check out my other blog, Pure and Noble. We are having so much summer fun already!

Three

It's been three years!  My how time flies. We love you Liam.  Hey, can you put these images in chronological order? A little brain teaser for ya on this special day.  Hey, that's fair...Liam is my daily brain teaser!

Ft. Worth Zoo

It's the only zoo worth going to in Texas and every time we go... it's a blast!  Gramma and Uncle met us there; this excited the boys a lot. What a great treat!  Then we added the icing on the cake - a train ride and Chick-fil-a. All in all, a really fun and successful day. Mommy happy, family fun and boys wiped out.

Favorites: 

Mommy - giraffes & birds

Jude - cheetahs

Liam - dino exhibit throughout the zoo and everything else

Uncle - penguins

Gramma - spending the day with 3 of 4 of her boys!

Daddy's Package

What happens when Daddy orders something big online? Loads of fun and silliness!

 Poor Liam!  I can't tell if he had fun or not!

 Again...panic for poor Liam!  He looks so worried about his brother here. I think the real problem was that he wanted back in the box!

Ha ha ha!  Who knew that a silly box could bring so much laughter into the home. (Well, at least I was laughing.)
