And....We're Back

Hello friends!

I have no excuse my absence, just life keeps getting in the way. But, I really like being able to look back on all I have blogged about and one day print it into a blog book for Anderson to have.

We have done lots in the last month since I blogged. Adam's parents were here and we had a great time with them...Sea Life Aquarium at a mall(crazy..huh?) And the twirlie car on the carousel..oh my!Adam and I even got to go on 2 dates. Once to the movies and then to the Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics NBA game. It was really awesome and Adam loved it and so did I!

If I'm being honest, I was excited at first about Khloe Kardashian being at the Mavs game because her husband Lamar Odom now plays for them. I had all these grandiose visions of meeting her and getting my picture made...never happened. But, truthfully, I loved watching the actual basketball game itself. It was, well exciting!

***********************************
Anderson and I (as you are well aware) love frequenting the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. It's free and beautiful and gives A some space to run and be a boy.****************************
Anderson's friend Becca comes over a lot and hangs out with us..they are good friends! They love playing together.

Random picture of the week this big boy loves to read while on the potty! Ha! I hope he always loves to read. And last, I had to take a picture of Anderson and SOME of his animals(this is no where near half of the collection ) don'tcha love the fake smile! I love this kid so much!!!

The Halls Go to Texas

Hello friends!

Mom and Bob came to Texas to spend some time with us. We had a nice, relaxing time while they were here. We didn't do much...played outside a lot, went to the zoo and the park and that's about it. But it's wonderful quality time with them. I LOVE when they are here!Poor Gus, has a slipped disc and had to go to the vet after walking in the park....I cried, I love this baby boy. :(Anderson had Bop tied up somehow and was pretending he was a team of horses pulling a carriage...what an imagination!Gus and Winston enjoying the sun and the 70+ degrees!We probably spent 2 hours or more outside each day. Ahhhhh...it was good for our souls. And for laughs....At the Ft. Worth Zoo Nunna and meTrying to touch the meercatsOur picnic at the zoo! What I didn't photograph was Anderson trying to chase all the birds away who were wanting our lunch! Ha!!The zoo can be so tiring...especially if you don't have a stroller. But, hey at least our Bop would carry us!Farewell Nunna and Bop! We will see you in April!

Good Life

Hello friends!

We have had lots and lots of rain today and yesterday. But before the rains set in, Anderson and I took a trip to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. There wasn't much blooming, but a good place to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air.This included lots of running, spotting birds and chasing squirrels .... poor squirrels! Ha!

Whisper tubes. You can talk in one end and walk 100 feet down the boardwalk and hear the other person....cool!

Balancing on the down tree limbs.Picnic lunch with my favorite boy!Looking at the fish and tapping the fish tank. I then read the sign to Anderson and we both laughed!A's favorite drink...root beer(they didn't have his true favorite, cream soda)

My inner hippie wasn't happy to see this. A beautiful new parking lot for the convention center....yuck. I know there has to be progress, but I don't have to like it. Anderson told the man cutting down the tree "you are not being nice"!!! Hahaha!!

The flowers seemed confused. It's been so warm here this winter. We haven't even had any snow!

Sitting by the pond and spotting the turtles sunning. Love this boy so much! Can't believe he will be 4 in just a few months....tears!
