Ready to Go!
Checkin' out the planes at Hobby...
First, Carson was AWESOME on the plane. He was out with a bottle as soon as we headed down the runway. He slept the WHOLE time. I had to wake him up when we got to Dallas. It took a few minutes at the arrivals curb to get car seat situated, but after that, we were good to go. I had also debated back and forth about taking BOB and it was no big deal. I was glad I had my good stroller!
When we got in on Friday, we headed straight to Arlington for lunch at Cheddar's with Nina and Papaw. They could not believe how much he had changed since Christmas, which is totally expected because he has changed a TON since then! He was great at lunch and just "talked" and laughed, slapped the table, tried to steal Papaw's glasses, and tried to grab anything and everything on the table that was within reach. Nina wanted to actually get to play with Carson, so we went to her house just down the road after we had our late lunch.
Playing on the floor at Nina's house...
It was beautiful and HOT outside...
Nina got a big trampoline for my little cousins and Carson loved watching mommy jump. And yes, I can STILL do back flips and flip flops...GO ME!!! :-) A trampoline was the one present I ALWAYS wanted but never got... thanks a lot Mom & Dad!
YAY! Nina had a jumper!
Uncle Bill's creepy childhood monkey is funny!

Great-Grandparents! (Love this pic...look at that smile!)
Bath time in the sink!
Saturday morning we headed out to the Dallas Zoo to meet up with Rachel, Matt, and little Taylor. Lauren and their parents were there too. We were late because Carson decided to take an extremely out of the ordinary 1.5 hour nap, so we didn't really tour the zoo together, but we did get to meet up several times and visit. Hopefully, next time the boys will get a chance to play!
Ready for the Zoo!
Meeting new friends!
Fun times at the Zoo!
Big Sophies!
...and we're out!
Saturday night, Grandaddy was on babysitting duty so that Mom and I could go see the opening of Greta's MFA Exhibition at a gallery in Denton. WOW... she did SUCH an amazing job! You could tell how much time and passion went into her thesis presentation. I am SO proud of her! She designated me the photographer and florist for the evening (no pressure!!!).
Sunday was church then off to Meme & Dede's house to see great-grandparents, aunts, cousins, 2nd cousins, etc...
First time meeting Rylan - Carson LOVED him! Who wouldn't though...he was PRECIOUS!!! I forgot how tiny they are still at 2 months, and Rylan is big for his age like Carson was.
The great-grandbabies!!! Rylan - 2 months, Carson - 8 months
Cousin Michael and Grandaddy
Aunt Julie & Carson
Cousins Kristine & Joel
