A Few Pics from Sea World

We went back to Sea World this past weekend. Michael loves it there! This time we met Michael's cousins there. They boys had a great time together. They had pumpkins everywhere. He got to trick or treat too. We rode a lot more rides this time as well. He LOVES the rides! He kept hoping that he'd get to drive the cars again like he did at the fair but they didn't have anything like that.

Arboretum October 2011

We went to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday. Michael has been obsessed with seeing pumpkins this year. When we got to the pumpkin patch he didn't know where to go first because there are sooo many pumpkins. He had a great time. We took some pictures with a professional photographer there. I think she got some really great shots of him smiling really well. So I can't wait for them to post them online so I can see. We are going to another pumpkin patch this weekend with daddy so I will post those pictures on here soon.

My first post from my phone. Testing

Prayers Needed

A friend of mine posted this on her blog. I don't know the family involved but thought they could sure use everyone's prayers. I think losing a child must be the most painful thing in the world. The poem Melissa added is beautiful too.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Testing it out

Another lick

"I think I can do this myself now."

"Oh, it's yummy."

"But it's so messy."

My mom wanted Michael to try a Chocolate Covered Strawberry for Valentine's. Here's the play by play.

A Day at the Park

"Whee!"

Every time Michael slides down he says that.

Trying to get him to look at the camera

"Why is she throwing rocks on the slide?"

Squeezing through

Michael has really gotten to where he likes to hold hands. I love it!

We went to the park on the one nice day we had in January. This is a pretty neat park in Mesquite. However, it was way too crowded!! No one seemed to be watching their kids which is frustrating when you have a little one. We managed to still have fun though.

MDO Valentine's Party

Michael's classmates

Actually got a half decent picture of him and I

"Kamden what are you doing over there?"

Michael's class party was yesterday. His daddy got to come to and I can't believe we didn't get a picture of the two of them. The class was all boys that day which it's kind of funny to have all boys at a Valentine's party. They sure enjoyed the cookies.

New Chair

My grandma sent Michael money for Christmas so I decided to finally get him the Anywhere Chair from Pottery Barn. He loves to sneak off to his room and sit and read books, so I figured the chair would be perfect. He is enjoying it so far.

What a Difference a Year Makes!

Snow Day January 2011

Walking and running everywhere now!

Snow Day in February 2010

He wasn't even walking yet.

Time is flying by faster than I ever imagined. Michael is growing like a weed. Just this week he seems so much older to me. I know he's gotten a little taller. And while I think he has always looked a little older or not very babyish I feel like this week the baby look has real slipped away. He is growing into a little boy now. He has really started talking up a storm in sentences. Saying things like "Daddy bye-bye in the car" or "Open door please" or "More oranges here please". He really amazes me everyday. By all of the pleases you might can tell I am a stickler for manners. I 97% of the time always make him say please before and thank you after he gets what he wants or needs. He is really starting to get in the habit. If you know me it's music to my ears. LOL

His 2nd birthday is fast approaching. We have decided on the Disney Cars theme. When I tell you my child is OBSESSED with cars that's an understatement. Often times the first word out of his mouth in the morning is "cars" and wants to play with them immediately. He plays with them ALL day long! He loves the movie too and wants it on in the background all of the time. We got him a Lightening McQueen Lil Quad for his birthday and I can only imagine how much time we are going to spend outside riding that thing.

Trip to Houston September 2010

MB and Grandma

"I love cars. The more expensive the better."

"I got the ball!"

Michael just wanted to push around the golf bag.

Trying to teach MB how to swing the club. He wasn't too interested. He just wanted to push the bag.

A Variety

"Driving" Daddy's Car

He loves playing cars and will go all around the house saying "Beep, beep".

Michael eating artichoke hearts at Cheesecake Factory on my birthday.

He had a little difficulty with the big fork. LOL

Michael is climbing all over the place. He thinks he's so cool when he gets on top of the toy box.

Michael was so tuckered out from playing he actually fell asleep on the couch before dinner while watching football with Daddy.
