Dallas Arboretum

We spent Friday afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum to view the Alice in Wonderland exhibit.  It was a really pretty exhibit and they even had some of the characters walking around.  We had a lot of fun at the arboretum even though it was really.  really.  hot!

This fan really came in handy!  I originally bought it to keep Ben cool without even thinking about us but we all ended up passing it around and spraying ourselves with water! 

Ben is really wanting to move around these days and I know he is just wanting to go, go, go!  It won't be long, sweet boy!

 I love this photo so much.  Definitely a framer!

4th of July Parade!

Happy Independance Day!  Have plans to watch a 4th of July parade, go swimming, and watch fireworks?!  We do!  We spent the 4th of July weekend in Dallas with Auntie A and here are some pictures from the parade in Auntie A's neighborhood.

 

We went to dinner at Mi Cocina and sat right next to Troy Aikman!  You can't get much more all American than that, right?!  Happy Birthday U.S.A.!

Big D Take 2

Well, it has been a fun weekend around here and now we are headed to the Big D to visit Auntie A for the 4th of July! 

We had an awesome weekend filled with lots of long walks, grilling out, Matt made beer, and of course the only way we knew how to beat the heat- swimming! 

Beaver Lake Part 2

We had so much fun in Arkansas.  We went tubing on the lake with Ben's cousin Ethan as our captain.  We read books with sweet cousin Annah.  We laughed with Nana Debs.  I seriously have never heard Ben laugh so much as he did with his Nana Debs.  Gringo Earl (Uncle Steve) showed us his crazy dance moves on the patio and we spent the last part of the week in Eureka Springs.  It was really a great vacation.

Beaver Lake Part 1

We're Back!!!

Wondering where we have been???  We took our first family vacation to Beaver Lake, Arkansas!  Matt's parents rented a lake house on Beaver Lake and we have spent the last 5 days there.  We just came back this afternoon and I have a ton of pictures to sort through, so for today, a picture of my little cutie all ready for his first plane ride!

Sitting Up!

We officially have a sitter!!!  Now I just need a time machine so I can slow down time.
