Houston Zoo and Fort Worth

We have been pretty busy for the past few weeks. Last Thursday we went to the Houston Zoo with Kendra, Michelle, and Diane with all of their kiddos. We thought that there would not be very many people there but we were wrong because a lot of schools were there on field trips. We had a lot of fun though! I think Carter, Kendra's little boy had the most fun. He was so excited to see everything. The babies, however, were just along for the ride :).

Baylor, the new baby elephant! Only a few weeks old!

Pax doesn't know what he thinks about the zoo. Hopefully he enjoy it more in a few months.

Riley is more interested in her foot :)

I asked Carter to pose for the camera and he did this for me! LOL!

We also went to Fort Worth for one of Kevin's friend's wedding. We stayed with my college roomie, Ellen and her family! We had so much fun with them and loved seeing her kids. Pax loved Jackson and Jackson loved to entertain Pax! So cute!

Thanks to Tricia Morey for Pax's pictures! She took his newborn pictures also. She is very talented and we are so grateful to her for doing these! Thanks Tricia! We love you!

Sister's Birthday!

Here is a video that Kevin and I did for his sister for her big birthday! Kevin went all out and got the electric guitar out and hammed it up. I also tried to get Pax to get in on the fun also. Happy Birthday Sister! We love you!

Where do I start?

Wow! Time has flown by and it has been hard to keep this updated. One of my issues with keeping it updated is downloading pictures. We apparently have been max-ing out our computer with pictures and videos and we have been running out of room to download more. Kevin purchased an external hard drive but we have yet to use it. Anyway, I will try to keep everything in order chronologically.

1. We kept Kevin's parents dog, Callie a few weeks ago. Pax loved her and I will have to upload a cute video of them later, but here is a picture of them getting ready for a walk. It was challenging trying to keep the dog in line with the stroller but she succeeded. Needless to say, she definitely got spoiled b/c we went on a lot of walks!

2. Playdates with Riley! We had another fun playdate with Riley. Pax and Riley are so cute together and it is fun to see how fast they are growing! Here are a few pics.

Pax seems to be getting a little fresh in this one :)

3. Derby Party and my birthday. This past weekend was a busy but fun weekend for us! We threw our annual Derby Party and celebrated my birthday. My wonderful Mother-in-law made me a yummy chocolate cake and we also enjoyed Kentucky Derby cuisine.

3. Paxton turned 6 months old! I can't believe he has hit the half way mark! He is sitting up on his own now and eating new solids. So far he has had sweet peas, zucchini, avocado, and sweet potato. It is so fun trying new foods because he always makes the funniest faces! To celebrate his 6 month birthday, he got to see the doctor :(. He ended up only getting two shots this time because he had a small allergic reaction last time, so I have to take him again in a couple of weeks to finish them off. He also weighed in at 17 lbs 15 oz, was 27-1/2" long, and was 46 cm in head size (97 percentile!). The doctor commented that he is almost taller than me :) Here is his cute monthly picture. Can't believe that he is sitting up!
