Dallas

I spent all last week in Tucson with Dallas Thorne while his parents were out of town. He is such a cute little boy ... and SO sweet. My favorite thing is when he gives kisses. He puckers his lips, but his bottom lip is always sticking out... it's adorable!! We had so much fun together. Everyday we did something new and everywhere we went I would get stopped a million times by people telling me how cute he is! I can second that!

This is such a cute little high chair! It looks like something off the Jetsons! I was upstairs one morning and heard music. I came downstairs to find Dallas in the kitchen, he had turned my iPod on and was dancing! hahaI had so much fun taking pictures of him! But when he was done he was DONE and he let me know!

We went to the pool iin their neighborhood a lot! He loves the baby pool. All the other kids use the stairs to climb out... not Dallas! He just pulls himself out, that takes a lot of muscle!

One day we went to the Marana Waterpark. That was SO fun. He loved going down the slides and playing with the other kids.

We also went to the zoo. I love the Tucson Zoo. You can get right up to all the animals. Dallas loved the elephants, polar bears and sea otters.

We met my cousin Regina and her four kids at the zoo. Dallas loved being around them. They were so helpful and cute with him!

What a cute bunch! Joshua looks like he's the man here!

Fun, FuN, fuN

I spent this past week with the best kids ever- the Weaver Children! We had so much fun together! They are busy kids!

I'm pretty sure I enjoyed their schedule too, I am a big fan of nap time. I usually can't sleep during the day- I had no problem this week. Plus, Blake informed me that during nap time the t.v. can't be on... if it is he can't sleep, so I was left with no other choice than to sleep. haha!

Ellie has so much attitude for one little girl--- I love it! She was sort of like my life size barbie... only she was such an opinionated little thing. I love to pick out her clothes and do her hair and pick her shoes... the only problem is now she does too! Most of the time she just made me laugh!

Ellie loves to do what the boys are doing! This day I think she was more dirty than ever before... but she was so HAPPY! She enjoyed standing in the baby pool while snacking on popcorn and fudgesicles and running in the grass with her brothers!

We spent a lot of time at the park, the weather was nice and the kids love to run free. Ellie insisted on taking her baby too... she took that baby on the ride of it's life!

The stroller was dual purpose- it also allowed Ellie to rest when needed.

I think Blake and Brady live, eat and breathe baseball. We watched both versions of The Sandlot multiple times and they spent a lot of time playing baseball at the park with Jake and Rocky. The took turns batting and fielding and running the bases. Ellie was the bat girl! They're all just so cute!

I was hard to pull B away from the baseball field, but Blake and Ellie were big on the swings and the sand. Blake found so many "treasures" (most of which were colored airsoft gun pellets!)

We also spent a lot of time in the backyard. I had just as much fun as they did! We had a little baby pool and a slip 'n slide and that was all we needed! We just stayed out there for hours.

Fear Factor Popsicles. The best part? The candy eyeballs inside and black tongues afterwards!

Rocky came over one day. I think the Brady & Blake were happy to see another boy. They love Rocky. I am pretty sure he had fun too. I think age is relative when you're a boy... it doesn't really matter because when playing they all act the same!

What a life these boys had! This was right before I served them a picnic lunch. haha!

I can't believe this is my LITTLE brother! He's such a big kid! ... and pretty cute too!
Brady could literally slip 'n slide all day! He loved it. And though there will not be any pictures posted... I also took a couple turns down the slide. The boys thought it was really funny. I felt like I was 10 again, only I'm not as limber as I once was... I was kinda sore the next day!
We had a fun week!
