Let's Go Splashing At The Pad With Friends

Our day at the splash pad consisted of a lot of picture taking, water, BFF's, mommies, sun, lunch and girl talk. 

Pretty much a perfect recipe for a play date in my book.

needed a picture without those dang sunglasses on.  

 Meghan is so sweet and has such a kind heart.  My favorite part: she loves B so much!  :)

B trying to feed Londyn (Meg's daughter) a mermaid.  Ha.  Excited for them to grow up as great friends!

 "Here, I'll wash it off for you if that will make it taste better!"

 Master B walking around like he owns the place.

 He thought it was so funny splashing her in the face.

Got a surprise overhead bucket dumped on his head.  wasn'ttoohappyatall

Once he discovered he could move these and spray people he was all better.

 Another BFF, Riley (Kelli's son).

 Kelli....this chick is hilarious.  She cracks me up!

Our day at the splash pad overall was pretty fantastic.  Getting to hang out with a great group of mommies is so much fun.  Not to mention, their kids are fun to be around, too.  They are all so sweet and well behaved and they all get along perfectly!

There's nothing like fun play dates with awesome people.

Miscellany Monday

Linking up here.

1)   Have you heard of BabySteals?

Well, they have a blog and a Facebook page.  I first heard about it through a friend that suggest I "like" them on their Facebook page.  They basically sell 2 baby and maternity products everyday up to 80% off until they are gone.  I get most of Boston's neck ties through them and I even got more of his cloth diapers through them for C-H-E-A-P!  The moment you see something you like, you gotta steal buy it fast before they sell out.  It's sort of a thrill and worth it.  So if you are expecting, or already have a baby, I would definitely go and like their Facebook page for some great deals daily! 

2)  Monday, Monday.....why do you have to come back so quickly?!  Regardless of your arrival, we have a great fun-filled week coming up!  Plus, we had a great relaxing/project filled weekend in preparation of this coming week.  For the first time we attended church on Saturday evening instead of Sunday morning.  And Saturday night church is probably going to become a habit.  It wasn't as packed and we got a family dinner date afterwards.

We hit up Taco Diner which has awesome Mexican food.  Delish!  Boston was in such a happy mood even with it being very close to his bed time.  He kept "cheesy" smiling at everyone...constantly (especially our neighbors sitting in the booths next to us)!  Which often makes us uncomfortable because we don't want him to be interrupting their dinner time.

Anyway, after dinner we headed over to Barnes and Noble which is across the street and got some dessert.  My sweet tooth is going to be the death of me.  It's bad!  I had a personal key lime pie.  Gracious, it was amazing.  No picture of it, because it will likely have me craving it again, but I did take one of this guy drinking his "dessert"....milk.

3)  Since I never posted about Boston's 15 month doctor appointment (yes, he's now 17 months, but what the hay) I thought I might as well do it now.  :)  Well at least post a few pictures to remember by.

4)  I recently got involved with a Spring Sweet Swap and got paired up with Beth.  Check her out, she's a pretty cool gal!  I'm excited to be mailing my "sweet treat" to her today.  I can't post the picture of what it is just yet, but I'll be able to soon.  :)

5)  Last Thursday, Boston got to play with Cash and Londyn.  And I got to play with their oh-so-sweet-mommy's, Meredith and Meghan.  It's nice to talk baby stuff with other mommy's.  I learn a lot from them.  :)

Weekend Recap & Miscellany Monday

Linking up here.

Two Friday's ago, we headed out for a play date with Kelli and Riley.  These two are A-dorable!  Seriously.  We went to a local mall that has a train that goes around part of the mall.  It was Boston's first time to ride it and he and Riley both loved it.  We'll definitely be going back.  :)  Then we headed over to ride the big carousel.  These boys are so sweet with one another.  And Kelli is SO sweet and funny!  :)

The boys were hugging.  Too cute.

And ran a few times.  They were a hoot.  

This picture cracks me up.  Ha.  

Their so cool.

Awww.

We went down a ramp and both Riley and Kelli raised their hands.  Funny.  :)

Boston was so scared of an alligator that would open it's mouth so Kelli took him to look at some stuffed animals, she saved the day.  :)  Meanwhile, I'm taking pictures of Riley. 

Boston's is now eating his banana's all by himself.  Up until recently, I had been cutting them into small pieces.  But now, all I have to do is break off big chunks and he takes it from there!

He takes big bites out of them.  :)

This past weekend, Jer and I headed to Fort Worth early in the morning and ran the Cowtown 5K.  I absolutely loved it.  Granted, neither one of us "trained" for this race.  But I did end up running the whole thing (not stopping once!) at a very slow pace.  Instead of Jer pushing Boston in his jogging stroller like last time, we weren't allowed to have strollers so we did it alone.  But from now on, we'll be making it a "family" event.  

Since we couldn't push B, we called my mom up to come and meet us there so she could watch us while we ran.  It was a little chilly that morning so we bundled him up.  

Our obligatory picture before the race.

As I was running, I noticed this mile marker and decided to take a picture of it (and I guess so did another girl) quickly before I passed it.  

My time ended up being terrible coming in at 36:45 minutes but that just means I need to train for the next one coming up at the end of March.  

My boys following their daddy.  :)

My heart can hardly take it.  I love him so much.  

This is the coolest thing.  We had chips that you looped around your shoe laces and that tracked your time.  The moment you started it started to track your time and when you crossed the finish line, it stops your time which is pretty cool since it had to keep up with 6 thousand people that ran that race with us! Once we got home, we were able to get online and check-out our time.  

Recently, we had another play date but this time with little Londyn and Meghan, her mom.  L is such a delight.  So stinkin' sweet and always smiling.  

Oh and we often dress B up as a girl...JK.  But he would make a pretty darn cute girl if he was one.  My mom came over this weekend and she would let him play with her sunglasses so we decided to make him wear them and snap a picture, too.  Yep, we are those parents.  ;)

This is Boston's new thing.  He loves to go under our bar stools and get stuck.  Then he whines because he can't get out.  It's a 1-2 time a day thing.

Later Saturday evening, we went out with some great friends, Scott and Samantha, for dinner at Hard Eight.  Such a good barbecue restaurant.  And a great time with them.  Scott is a riot.  Hilarious.

It was a busy but great weekend.  Sorry about being all over the place.  I had noticed that there were several things that I hadn't posted about (that I wanted to post before the end of February) so I decided to fit them all in my "Miscellany Monday" randomness.  :)  

Happy Monday!
