Dentist

This morning I took Slade to the dentist for the first time. The dentist is a big thing for our family, ha! I know, I'm crazy but I'm all about clean teeth. I've been brushing Slade's mouth before he even had teeth and people would laugh at me! :) Well, it paid off!

Great report from the doctor ... healthy teeth, great overbite and no cavities! Also, the doctor was amazed at how well Slade did for (2). He said it's very rare that a 2 yr. old makes it through the whole procedure. Great job son!

He was waiting for them to start and looks a little nervous.

Getting his teeth cleaned.

All done! Isn't he just a cutie! :)

Dallas Cowboys

Well, Saturday was the first playoff game and we were actually there! =) The stadium was packed, 92,000 attended and the place was on fire! It was an amazing atmosphere! Jeff and I are huge Dallas Cowboys fans and we were also able to take our great friends along for the fun!

The boys played great ... praying we will pull it off again Sunday!

The famous "star"

They were SO happy we won!

We had a great time! :)

Merry CHRISTmas!

October...

Well, October was a pretty busy month...

Slade turned 2 on Oct. 13! :( Wow, I still can't believe my baby is 2! He is growing so fast and is so independent. I always tell everyone Slade grew up to fast ... he was really never a baby. I catch myself watching him sometimes in amazement. He is such a big help with Honour and when I ask him to hand me something or go get me something he happily responds with "sure" ... to cute! :)

On Oct. 27 Honour was born! Our house has been a little more hectic and crazy but loving every minute of it! We have had to learn how to adjust with 2 small kids and figure out routines that work for us. All is finally coming together and I can actually get ready for an outing in about 2 hrs. (Ha!)

A few pictures to share are below :)

Slade turns 2! Yes, this was the best picture we could get.

Boys, got to love them!

San Antonio

Well, we took our first family trip to San Antonio and had a blast. We spent the weekend relaxing and enjoying watching Slade have so much fun! Being parents is the most amazing thing ever! Sure puts more meaning into every thing you do!

Saturday we woke up had some breakfast and headed out to the San Antonio Zoo. Slade loves seeing all the animals and running around. He is a quick one though and scared me a few times. I like to just keep him strapped in his stroller! Ha!

Feeding the fish in the pond. Slade LOVED dropping the food down!

In the petting zoo trying to brush the goats hair. Every time he would get close the goat would run away! Ha! He just didn't understand. :)

It was nice and HOT!

Slade smiling "big" He cracks me up! :)

On Sunday we also took Slade to Sea World. We had the BEST time ever! We have been to Sea World a couple of times but it was like being there for the first time ever with Slade. It was so neat to see him get so amazed with every thing. Oh, and of course my son would fall asleep right before the "Shamu show" I had been waiting ALL DAY to see his reaction to Shamu and he falls asleep while were waiting for the show to start! Ha! We were able to catch another showing and he stayed awake! :)

He insisted on holding on to the side of the stroller. Slowed us down A LOT but it was so cute to watch! :)

He was amazed at the wall size aquarium and loved watching all the big fish swim by. They also had sharks in the tanks and he LOVED them!

We had so much fun and yes did LOTS of walking. Sea World was nice because they have lot's of shows which gave me a good reason to take some time and sit. Slade also enjoyed walking down by the river walk and seeing all the water. Fun times!

Chuck-E-Cheese

Yesterday Slade's Godparents, Collin & Summer took him to hang out & have some fun. It was National Godparents Day and they wanted to do something EXTRA special for him. After church we all went to eat and then they were off for some "special" fun! He spent the day going to Chuck-E-Cheese and then after lots of fun they also took him to Bahama Bucks! I think they just spoiled him a little! :) He was so excited about the trip and after the long mommy lecture I gave these two they were off with my son, ugh! Ha! I managed and I knew he would have so much fun! :)

He was on his way ...

Amazed at all the different stuff to play with!

Look at my child?? Ha! Yep, he wouldn't have gotten away with this if mommy & daddy had been there. Cute though! :)

Aunt Summer & Slade

He LOVES smoothies at Bahama Bucks! :)

Collin & Slade

He fell asleep on the ride home ...worn out from all the fun :)

Sleepy

While I was cooking dinner Monday night Jeff and Slade were playing around the house. Slade looks so forward to Jeff coming home in the evenings! When he hears his truck and Lance starts barking he will run to the garage door and say "daddy" until Jeff walks in! :) While playing Slade was feeling like a snack so he came in the kitchen and I gave him some cheerios to munch on while I continued to prepare dinner. I told him to go sit in his chair and while eating his cheerios and watching TV with daddy he fell asleep at 7:20! He was out for the night and there was no waking him ...

Notice the snack cup ... he never lost his grip! :)

Too precious!
