Bday Weekend in Dallas

Last weekend we packed up and headed to the Big "D."  We left around 9:30 a.m. Friday.  We made a stop at Buccee's and were in Frisco by 2:30 p.m. that afternoon.  Madison was napping so Cole patiently waited for his friend to wake up.  That evening after the kids went to bed we boiled some crab and shrimp for dinner...delicious. 

Hello, friend.



Hello, peguin.

 On Saturday,we packed up the kids and went to the neighborhood pool.  Cole loved the sprinkler park. 

After lunch and a nap, we headed to Ryan's first birthday party.  Cole had a great time playing with toys and watching "Finding Nemo" while Madison played in the sprinklers.  Ryan had an adorable goldfish-themed party with yummy bbq for dinner.  It was nice to see everyone.

On Sunday morning, we played in the baby pool and sprinklers in the backyard.  Molly also took the kids for a walk.  Cole couldn't keep up.  After our walk, the kids ate and took a nap before party #2. 

A good morning smooch

So loving...a hug before the big swim.

Seriously mom...A pink swing

Madison's party was at Gymboree Music and Play.  Cole had a great time dancing, bouncing, jumping, and pretending to be a butterfly.  He also loved the icing on his cupcake and managed to steal a kiss from the birthday girl.

Cole is a dancing fool.

Step Three:  Check and see if there is a positive reaction... (there was)

Step Four:  See if she wants to play footies

Step Five:  See if her daddy is looking

Step Six:  Go ahead and make your move...sit in her lap

Sunday night was the big NKOTBSB concert.  We met at Saint Anne's at 6:30 and then headed over to our VIP suite around 8:00 p.m.  There were all kinds of people in costumes.  Flourescent colors, blue eye shadow, jelly shoes, off the shoulder tee shirts...you name it.  Crazy!  Jordan Sparks was opening and we didn't really care to hear any of that.  I had such a great time with all my girls.  I don't think I sat down once...we danced all night. I felt like I was in elementary school all over again.  OH, OH, OH, OH...Hangin Tough.  Here is a pic before we left the house.

We had such an awesome weekend and Cole had a blast playing with all his buddies.  We can't wait to go back.
