Trip recap

So, we had a really great time on our trip home!! The boys handled the car ride pretty good. Thank goodness we had two movies for them to watch! Make that 1 ! D must have watched the Cars movie oh about 50 times, with a few minutes of Toy Story here and there. I don't know how they can watch the same thing over and over and over and over. Oh well, it helped to keep them content anyway. The boys had a good time at Mimi and Grandaddy's house. Mimi is learning that Bry will repeat just about anything said. "daddy in bathroom for 1 hour!!!"" It was so funny! Then he just kept repeating "1 hour, 1 hour, 1 hhhhooouuuurrr" I thought I was going to cry from laughing. Thanks also to Deb and James for the bday cake. D was very excited that he got to eat cake on my bday and sing to me. He helped me blow out the "one" candle. That's right, it was my first birhtday!! :) :)

Saturday we met our friends with twins and a 3 month old at the park. It was a good time of fellowship, the kids playing soccer and us cooing at their new baby girl. She was adorable of course!!!!! The weather was absolutely perfect, almost borderline of being hot, but very comfortable. B really liked the baby and kept kissing her on her hands, it was very sweet! He really seems to like babies (other people's that is) none on the agenda here!!
Next we headed to visit family. Uncle Lewis always has many musical instruments lying around. D decided to pick up the trumpet(don't know if he's ever seen one) and practically starting playing it. It was amazing!! He even was able to make some noticeable real keys and he knew how to work his fingers on the buttons(I don't know the exact name of them). I tried to run and get the camera to video, of course by then he was almost done, but I still captured a few notes. D seems to be pretty musical, he has played (not professionally of course ha ha) the harmonica, drums, keyboard, and now trumpet! Very cool, must of been all the loud music I played for him when he was in my tummy!! Cousin Alexis also helped the boys have fun with the hula hoops. Even daddy tried it and couldn't quite get it going, it was hilarious, but he did enventually kinda get the hoop going:)

Sunday we headed to a friend's whom I haven't seen in many years. Her house was beautiful as were her 3 boys( I know, but they were beautiful boys). Her husband planned a really cool treasure hunt for her 3 and my 2 boys. They tied bandanas around their heads to be pirates and searched for the hidden treasure. It was really cute and the boys loved the chocolate treasure at the end! I hope they can make it up our way to visit one day, hint hint!

Then we headed to the beach to play in the sand alittle and the boys collected a few shells. On the way back we stopped at a little go cart place. D got to ride with daddy in a go cart! WOW, he was scared a little at first but then really enjoyed it. Next he rode all by himself! Yes, I was TERRIFIED!! My heart was pounding and my eyes were almost watering, I'm such a wimpy mom!! He did really great though and "won the piston cup" He did have two other boys on the track with him and he wouldn't let them pass, it was very cute! I think because he's so tall for his age, he was one of the youngest to ride. He just barely made the height requirement. B did great watching his big brother and entertaining himself with sticks on the ground and sticking his head through the rails to watch his bro ride!! Next year though, he'll probably realize what he's missing and it'll be harder to keep him content until he's big enough to ride.

Thanks to Mimi and Grandaddy for the hospitality! The boys really enjoyed the visit and so did we! The food was great as always too!! Although, I guess next time Mimi will have to make chicken salad for the boys!! :) I'll post pics later of all our fun!!

No shopping last night, the weather was terrible. Oh well, it saved me some money! I think we'll go this weekend and finish up. Santa will be here soon!!!
