Trip to Rockwall

 

We had a fun visit with Grandanny and Nana in Rockwall.  We got to do lots of swimming, and jeep riding and even got to visit with Stephanie, Juli, and Granny on the way in!  I’m not as good as I used to be with taking pictures, but here are a few I managed to get!!!

Granny let  Brady ride her tractor~~  definitely a highlight of the trip!!July 092 July 094

Play Castle

A mall near my sisters house has this awesome play castle and carousel.  Brady and I decided to head up that way this morning and enjoy a little cousin play time!!  The kids had fun as usual and the mommies enjoyed talking!  Didn’t take a lot of pictures, but here are a few.  Thanks for a great time Cole Clan!

The boys!

The Greatest Show On Earth

July 053

That’s right, we went to the circus!!  We met up with Trenton and Cooper and the boys had a blast!  We were a little worried that Brady might be too young and we might have jumped the gun, but he sat back, took it all in and clapped after every segment!  As we were leaving, walking through the parking lot, Brady looked back at Reliant Stadium and waved with this sweet little face saying “bye bye circus”.  SO cute, I’m so glad we went!!!

Let’s go to the circus mom!July 009

They have a really cool deal an hour before the circus.  You can go in the back, look at all the animals and then go onto the actual floor of the circus and see the props and some of the clowns and other circus stars. 

A big ol motorcycle!July 025

Clapping for the clowns!

We couldn’t ride real horses, but they had a pretty fun pretend one!

July 028

Brady wasn’t as fired up about being so close to the clown….I don’t know about you guys, but clowns didn’t look like this the last time I went to the circus!

CAUTION…..

This video may cause extreme dizziness!

don’t call CPS on us!  He loves it! and admit it, it’s hilarious to watch him walk like a drunk man!!!  Mom and Dad have to have a little fun!!!

trains, hats, and water

We met the Pillow’s and Flores’ at the Kemah boardwalk for a little fun in the H-O-T  summer sun!  Brady, in case I haven’t mentioned, is very in to anything trains!  SO a chance to ride the train on the boardwalk was very exciting.  After riding the train and carousel a couple times we had dinner at a mexican restaurant (with air conditioning!!) , and then Trenton and Brady ran around on the splash pad.   We had a great time even though it felt like it was 111 degrees outside!

Look!  a train!July 097

CHOO-CHOO

July 100

This was Brady’s face the entire time on the train….so mesmerized with everything going by!  (excuse the drool on our chin…we getting some molars!)

I love this picture!July 132

picture this

The 7th was Nana’s birthday, and for her birthday she wanted a picture off all her grandchildren together.  Well, things didn’t work out quite the way we had planned (they never do when you’re working with a 3 year old, 2 – 2 year olds, and a 3month old I guess!)  HOWEVER,  I was again suckered into buying pictures of my son!  I just can’t resist!  So here are a few of B’s 2 year pictures a month early!!!

God Bless the USA

Happy 4th of July!  We had a great day.  Grandanny and Nana are in town and the Cole’s came over for a day of playing and BBQ.  The kids had a blast and the adults enjoyed the ribs, chicken and sides!!  We also had a special cake decorated like a flag for Nana’s birthday!  Happy Birthday Nana…a little early!!
