Special Dates

Those of you who know us well know that we do most everything as a family. The boys, however, are getting to the point where they really crave one on one special time with us so we had a special "date" night last night.


--------------------------------------------------------------




Daddy decided to take AJ to his very first Cowboys game. AJ has enjoyed watching football with daddy since he was just over a year old, long before he ever discovered his love of cartoons! So, Brady thought it was time to take him to see all the action live. AJ was so stoked to be going to the game and even more excited that it was just him and daddy going.















They sat on the 3rd row and got an up close view of the players. They even got to watch T.O. warming up before the game.















Unfortunately AJ wasn't quite up for sitting through the whole game and they left at half time. Oh well, you live and you learn, right?















Noah and mommy had a dinner date at The Magic Time Machine. We had a great time, just the two of us. Noah got to see G.I. Joe, Tinkerbell, Snow White, Wonder Woman, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Captain Jack Sparrow - which he knew only as a pirate. We even got to play some arcade games and Noah played air hockey for the first time, which he now loves.













Afterwards he sat and had a caricature drawn and we hung it in his room.











I'm glad we had some special time together with the boys. I think we will have to make this a regular thing!

Spin Cycle

So we went to a neighborhood mom and tots playdate, at a playground we've never been to, on Thursday and found our new favorite outdoor play space! They had this awesome spinning "cup" chair that AJ fell in love with. He thought it was so much fun! Now if only we could get a few of these for our own backyard, that way mom and dad could get in on the fun!

How come we didn't have these things when we were younger???
