First Taste of Summer

***CAUTION: Long Post w/ Lots of Pictures***

Happy Memorial Day all....this past weekend was so much fun. I definitely got my first taste of summer. I can hardly stand getting up in the morning to go to work....two years ago we would already be out for summer!!! Oh well....it's officially 8 days and counting (and boy am I counting)!!!

The weekend started off Friday night with a birthday celebration! My aunt Kelly turned 26 years old so we headed out to downtown Ft. Worth for some fun. Dinner at Mi Cocina's then over to Petes! Love that place. We had a great time!!! Me and Kelly, the birthday girl!
Me, Amanda and Kelly...and some random girls in the back!

Me and the hubs!

Saturday, after we rested up, we decided to take Lane to the park since it was a gorgeous day out! Well, our usual park is closed at the moment for renovations on the nearby library, so we found a new park! And let me just say I will be going back to this one all summer....not because I don't like the other one but because this one has....a SAND PIT!!! And Lane LOVED IT!!!

Here he his pre-sand... playing with daddy and mommy...

(side note...Paul and Lane are walking exactely the same...right feet both up and all...too cute!)

sliding...

and then we found the sand....and didn't leave it for the rest of the time!! Not even to swing!

concentrating hard...

we had fun playing in the sand...and then it was time to go.....

and I think the pic speaks for itself!!! Poor baby!

So to make it all better we went for a snow cone, and Lane enjoyed that with daddy.

Sunday we spent the day at the baseball fields watching my cousin Zack play. Literally all day! Lane was awesome....he played and played....and the bleachers were completely covered so didn't have to worry about him burning! I think he looks too cute in this picture! Like he is really watching the game.

Lane and Halo!

My cutie pie

And finally Monday...we started the day by getting a new TV for our bedroom! Then we headed to lunch with the gang, shopped at the new Sam Moon by us, and then made our way back home! And again yesterday was beautiful out so we decided to get out Lane's little pool for the first time and test out the water! He did fairly well for about the first 30 minutes or so then slowly faded out! So all in all we were outside for about and hour or so, but it was just long enough to get a bit of sun and for Lane to enjoy the water!

It was a great relaxing weekend. I want summer to hurry and get here as I'm sure many of you do!
