Blue

Yesterday we went with our dearest friends, The Little's, on a bluebonnet hunt. We decided to make a fun day trip of it. We stopped at a aviation diner. The food was fantastic and the staff dressed the part by wearing poodle skirts and oxford shoes.

On a whim we decided to stop at the Bluebell Factory. We were so excited to get to go on a tour (none of us had ever been) until the desk clerk said that they do not give tours on Saturdays. We decided to let the kids run around for a bit and they had fun anyway.

Cole almost immediately spotted the cow and had to get on for a ride. I think he may have been a little disappointed that the cow was just a sculpture. (He has been all about cows lately.)

15 months

Can you believe it? I can't. My little Bou is already 15 months old. He had his doctor's visit today and all is well. I just wanted to share a few of his stats with you:

Height: 34 inches (95%)
Weight: 25 lbs 7 oz (50%)
Head circumference: 47.5 cm (70%)

That's my boy! :)

The Zoo

I LOVE spring break (or any other school holiday for that matter)! Taylor Maylor got to spend a few days with us; it was so great! Taylor Maylor had a perfect idea of going to the zoo with Cole. (One of his favorite places to go.)

We saw bears.

And giraffes.

Taylor Maylor and Cole look at the giraffes in amazement.

Cole loved the mearcats. I think he liked the fact that they were at his level and would come up to the glass to visit him. (I just love this picture.)

Around and around they go. This was Cole's first time on the carousel. He had so much fun. Thank you Taylor Maylor for choosing to spend a few days of your time off with us. We love you! :)

The Cutest Things

I thought I'd show you a few of the cutest pictures since my last post (since it's been a while). ;) Enjoy.My Sugar-Bou.

Six Years and Counting

This past weekend was My Love's and mine six year anniversary. Marriage is great, even with the ups and downs, I could not ask for more. I got lucky (or blessed however you choose to say it) when God placed My Love in my path. God's timing was perfect. I am beyond thankful. Anyhow, enough of the gushy lovey dovey stuff I'm sure you really don't want to hear about.

Thanks to Pa and Grams and Great-Grandmommie, My Love and I were able to have a weekend alone, away from it all. It was wonderful. We spent a couple of nights in Gruene, toured the town, ate lots of great tasting food and had a nice relaxing time together; just the two of us. Cole had a blast but I missed him a lot in the midst of all the fun. I know he can't wait to spend more time with his Pa, Grams and Great-Grandmommie.

One of the places we ate at was The Gristmill. Fantastic food and the ambiance was right up my alley.

We stayed at The Gruene Mansion Inn. This was the view from our room-excellent! I'd love to go back to this place again. Loved it.

I don't know why I never got any pictures of us and I stopped taking pictures after our first day. Lazy I guess. I can't wait to see what the next six years bring. Each year just gets better!

A Day of Great Friends

Saturday was a fun filled day. In the morning, I got to participate in a local 5K run with my friend, Erica and my niece, Tricia. It has been years since I tried to run in a 5K or even felt like I could complete one. I've been jogging for several months now and figured I'd give it a try. I set some personal goals and met them all on the day of the race. I was so proud of my accomplishment and now I'm addicted to running once again in my life. I would not have enjoyed the experience at all if it weren't for these two girls:

Thank you Tricia and Erica for keeping me going. I had so much fun I can't wait for the Easter 5K.

Later that evening, I was able to spend some "girl time" with my friends Marianne and Sarah. It was a blast. We made dinner, gabbed and watched a chick-flick. It was a perfect ending to a great day.

(Just in case you were wondering where Cole was while I was gallivanting around the city; he was with his Daddy and friends. Cole and Donny spent the morning together playing and doing chores around the house. That evening, Marianne's husband and Sarah's husband and son hung out at our house with Cole and My Love.)

Thanks Love for giving me this day to do something for myself. It was great except I really missed you and Cole.
