(Mostly) Free Fun!

A few weeks before Hadley was born, David and I took Hendrix downtown for a "trolley" ride. This trolley is simply a city bus that they painted green to look like a trolley, and made it free.

Friday evening Hendrix told me he wanted to go ride the trolley. Saturday morning- off we went. Before we jumped on the trolley we had to grab some breakfast, being downtown, Jake's was the place to go. This place is really impressive for breakfast being that it's a burger joint. The breakfast tacos's with homemade salsa are amazing!

After Hendrix scarfed down his (entire!) pancake he promptly told us it was trolley time.

When it's 90 degrees at 10am, a trip to the Water Gardens is a must..so we did!

I'm so impressed with Hendrix today. He obeyed everything I asked of him and was in a fantastic mood the entire time. Made this Mama proud!

Totally made up this weekly Tuesday theme. This is for those songs I just can't get out of my head. This week:

Bruno Mars, The Lazy Song

Messy Monday

I recently found this blogger who does this series called Messy Mondays. I thought I'd try it out, my house needs all the help it can get.

It’s Messy Monday.  The one day a week that I show you an embarrassing, long neglected mess in my house, in the hopes that it will make you feel better about yours. And because it keeps me accountable to tackle and least one mess a week that’s not just daily grind. Brace yourself. 

I would really like to create a spot in the house where I can scrapbook while the kids are playing nicely by themselves, within eyesight (HA! I can dream right?)This is my first step towards that goal. Check out the computer desk upstairs.

Wow. The dogs' crate has been in this room for 3 years and the layer of disgustingness (yes I made that up) is embarrassing. Tackling this with a newborn and 2.5 yo was no easy feat. It took forever with stealing time here and there during catnaps and videos. I cleaned, wiped down, put away, wiped down, and still see dog hair. I tried, Honestly. The result of my efforts?

Now, remember the rules of Messy Monday.


A) Don’t judge me.

and

B) Share your own long neglected embarrassment now :)

New baby.New blog.

New baby, new shot at blogging, new blog.... I'm giving this a shot again as there are a few friends whose blogs I follow as the sole way to keep up with them...and them with me. This blog is still *very* much under construction, so be patient.

Road Trip!

Since David was out of town this weekend on a snowboard trip, Hendrix and I took the opportunity to visit our friend's The Cope's in Shreveport. My sweet boy surprised me and did excellent on the 3.5 hour ride there.



Hendrix and Taylor have been friends for quite awhile now, and even though they hadn't seen eachother in months, they got right back into the swing of things like no time had passed at all.


Getting ready for bed was a big hit, who knew baths and teeth brushing was so much fun!





Saturday we all went to the Boardwalk and had a blast.

Riding on the "choo choo trolley"


What a great Daddy!


H's first carousel ride.



After the boardwalk it was naptime and boy did those two kids nap- 3 HOURS!!!!

Sunday morning Hendrix woke up before 7am and the first words out of his mouth were "Taylor, play!" We spendt the morning playing and enjoying a wonderful homemade breakfast, then we hit the road!


Thanks again to Katie, JT, and Taylor for a WONDERFUL weekend!!
