Deep In The Heart of Texas

Last week David and I hopped on a plane to Dallas. I have to say I MISS TEXAS! You see when you live in a place like Scranton, PA(or a lot of the Northeast for that matter), where you get sunshine about 3 times a month, you start missing the south even more, even if it is 20 degrees hotter and has 99% humidity. 

 The Yankees played a series there against the Rangers so I thought it would be a perfect trip to see Lance and family!

We had fun seeing grandma and grandpa Pendleton!

So fun for family to see Lance pitch!

We have a little cowboy on our hands....actually I have 3 1/2(Jake is included). Not only am I being quickly out numbered by boys but by TEXAS boys. They have all been/will be born in Texas. I guess I can't complain when I see this little munchkin like this!

We loved staying with Preston, Karee, and the kids! David loved being surrounded by his cousins! Carter quickly took on the role of watching out for "my baby" and letting me know every thing he did and where he went:-) David picked up a few things from watching little miss Carloline...

like eating at a big kid table! He also picked up on her crazy moves around the house:

-going down the stairs face first which ended up with him gettin his first goose-egg on his forehead

-climbing on chairs and other crazy places

Now from Carter and Cole we learned the obsession that comes to most boys...Cars!

David LOVED playing with their cars and car tracks. He now says "caw!" for every car, truck, plane, and bus he sees. The first thing he says to me when I get him up in the morning or from naps is "caw!" and finishes meals early to go play with his cars. He also makes a vroom vroom sound when he is driving his little cars around. I guess he is a boys boy now!

David fell in love with this bear. He would dive into the bear and cuddle and hug him all day long! I tried to get Lance to buy one and take it back on the plane with him...he didn't go for it. 

 Thanks again for letting us take over your house Preston and Karee! We miss you guys!

And now we are back in Scranton, missing the south and family like crazy! But the good thing is we get to see dad more often around here!

I know you have heard me say over and over again how big he is getting and acting but I just still can't believe how fast it is going for my little babe. He is starting to walk/run everywhere and loves to be outside, especially at playgrounds. He could be there all day and be perfectly content climbing up and down the play sets and going down slides!

Bubs doesn't even like being in is stroller for too long...he just wants to move! I let him follow along but he gets side-tracked ALOT. I walk for a little bit and turn around ususally  to find him walking the opposite way, sitting in the dirt playing with rocks or trying to pick flowers along the path.

Or tasting them:-) We love or little boy and can't wait for our next little boy to come!
