Dallas for Chad's Birthday Weekend

On the weekend of March 31st, we headed to Dallas for Chad's birthday.  We got to see Chad & Jill's new place and they welcomed us with great hospitality.  We went to a neat little pizza place and dined outside to begin the weekend of fun.  

Road trippin'!

On Saturday morning, Chad made a delicious homeade breakfast tacos (Migas) for us.  Then we headed to Top Golf per the birthday boy's request.

Watching the big boys play golf in his little chair

 Chill - Such a cute couple!

The Guys -Dale, Chad, & Tim

They had some cool oversized Jenga blocks that unh unh unhmm - Tim is going to build for our patio ;) (and I think he has convinced Dale to help him?).

Me and my boys!

For Chad's birthday they had a backyard Crawfish Birthday Boil with a lot of their friends.  We had a good time eating yummy crawfish!

   Patrick showed B how to pet the crawfish.  I couldn't believe Boston actually did it!

The crawfish were sedated prior to boiling, so that may have helped. 

B carried around his new little friend and showed him to everyone.

Stacey, Spano (and baby Crawford), and me.

B loved the water hose!

Relaxing after a day of fun in the sun!  Snuggie party! Ha ha

Patio side brunch on Sunday morning.  

This was Boston's first time to play with chalk.  It kept him busy :). 

While sitting on the concrete, he managed to draw a perfect circle around himself.

Thanks to Chad and Jill for a great time!

Boston's 1st Easter egg hunt at school

Boston had his 1st Easter egg hunt at playschool today. It was adorable getting to see all the little cuties find the eggs and place them in their baskets.

After showing Boston what to do, he took off on a mission to look for the eggs.

 

When he found the first one,

he looked at it and said "Oh Boy!", with a big grin on his face.

Once he discovered that the eggs were filled with candy,

it slowed him down a little but he continued on.

.

When he couldn't find anymore,

he looked at me saying "where are the eggs?".

Then, he got a little upset.

After having some juice and play time, everything was better.

He had lots of fun!

Boston babble

B has been saying more and more words in his little language. They include: bird, airplane, blue, hi, more, eye, Mol, and of course Ma-Ma and Da-Da. :). It is so neat watching his little personality blossom!

I just realized I can't post a video here (from my phone), so I will send it soon! Here are a couple of snap shots of our silly little boy from this morning.

*I fixed the seatbelt after the photo was taken ;).

Also, I know I'm behind on posts...but will do my best to update soon. We have plenty more photos to share :).

Have a great weekend!! We are headed to Dallas for a friend's birthday weekend!

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler!

Boston loves being outside.  We have a couple of parks by our house; one of which is right across the street.  He has so much fun playing and watching other kids, when they are there. 

 He enjoys going down the slide all by himself.  Any time we need to brighten up his day, we just go outside on a pretty day.  One of our latest things is to look for birds or airplanes in the sky.  He does a great job of pointing them out ;).

Silly times with little Boston!

Boston is so helpful.  Here he is taking a peek at the top of the stove (wild man).  He put an oven mit on and I found him wanting to help me take something out of the oven.  If he can get a kitchen towel in his hand, he goes to cleaning.  Of course, my favorite is the sweet little sleeping position he gets in.

I love our little guy.  There are always so many pictures to choose from when I go to make a post.  That is why I was excited to find this neat collage website :).  He has fun playing on his little train, since he recently was able to touch the ground when he sits on it.  On a rainy Saturday, he wanted to go outside SO bad.  I just opened the front window and he watched through the screen.  

This was my little Valentine.  I'm such a lucky Momma.  

My Tim also surprised me with dinner, flowers, and a bottle of wine when I got home.  I am so thankful for my boys.  :)

To keep in the Mardi Gras spirit, B has been playing in beads ever since the Christmas decorations came down.  He has lots of fun!  He also really enjoyed a wonderful visit from Grammie and Pop.  :)

A couple of weeks ago we went to Shreveport for our 5th Annual Mardi Gras get together.  B experienced his 1st time spending the night without Mom and Dad, while we headed over to spend time with friends.  Dale and Stacy opened up their beautiful, brand new home to us. 

Stacy was quite the hostess with homeade fajitas, a stocked refrigerator, chips & dip, and sweets.  It was so good to see everyone.  We enjoyed a fun night with great friends!

Boston's 1st Mardi Gras!  Last year, B was too little to participate.  We made up for it this year.  It was very cold so we bundled him up Tiger style with his overalls and long sleeves underneath.  

He loves people watching.   He had fun times with Ami and PaPierre, and snuggles with Aunt Bug.

He met a new little friend and they played together.  He had fun helping his LSU buddy, Ryan. push the car down the street.  Our little family had fun.

He enjoyed helping Ami push his car.  It was great hanging out with Driggers.  It's always good catching up.  There is a cute photo of Chill at Jill's 1st Mardi Gras.  Even though it was Shreveport style, we think she had a good time!  One of B's favorite spots was snuggling with Dad in a blanket while watching the parade.      

Enjoyed time with Grammie while watching the parade.  Extra snuggles with Aunt Chelle.  

This was Patrick and Spano's 1st time to bring baby Crawford to the parade :).  We are SO happy for them and can't wait to meet him around the end of June!  Spano makes a cute pregnant Momma :).  

I loved hanging out with Shannon!

B spent most of the parade hanging out (litterally) in the back of Patrick's truck.  He enjoyed the parade from a warm view.  He did go right up to the float a couple of times.  Ryan took him to one float in particular who couldn't resist his Tiger cuteness.  He got lots of toys from them ;).  Kelly and I had good times too :).  I am so grateful to have great friends!

I don't know how I didn't get any photos, but Michelle opened her home to a Crawfish boil after the parade.  Tim and Chad did an excellent job boiling the crawfish!  We are thankful did out in the cold, cold weather.  We had a nice visit with everyone while we thawed out inside.  

All in all we had a wonderful time at Mardi Gras and we look forward to next year!

We made a fun visit to GiGi and Pappy's before heading back to Houston.  

GiGi opened a box full of toys that Tim and Uncle Scott played with when they were little.  

Do you recognize that Little People train?  B made sure he got gingersnaps from his GiGi.  

We had a nice visit and look forward to next time!

Silly Boston and his tooty grin.  17 months!  

I love him SO MUCH!
