Great Wolf

This summer we really wanted to take Lane back to Sea World, seeing how he loved it last year; however this extreme heat and a three month old just do not go together! There was no way I was taking Levi to Sea World and there was no way I was spending a whole weekend if I were to leave him. So instead we opted to stay close to home and go to the Great Wolf Lodge. My mom was in town so Levi spent the night with Grammie while Lane got some one on one mommy and daddy time! We also took along my cousin Jared! It was our first time there and we had alot of fun. This place is all geared towards kids, which makes it great!

Lane and Jared

While daddy was checking in, this is what Lane did, starred at the waterpark area from above!

You'll notice in these pics that Lane was some new "cheese" face going on!!

Paul and I were constantly in the water with the boys, so I didn't get a whole lot of pics in the water. Lane tried the kid slides a couple of times, but wasn't a big fan.

At night they have a story time at the clock tower. Everyone comes down in their pj's...It was a cute little show.

They also have Magic Quest there! If you haven't done it, it is alot of fun! I first did it in Myrtle Beach. It's kinda like a Harry Potter -magic-hide and seek! You buy wands and go on these quests all through the hotel! Anyway we did that at night. Lane used my wand and he really thought he was playing! He loved it!!

Lane was spraying daddy!

Believe it or not it was freezing inside!! You would get out of the pool or off a slide and be shaking! So Lane's favorite thing was the hot tub!!

They next day, the people from Legoland were there set up in the lobby, so Lane wanted to play!

The boys had a great time and I'm sure we will be going back!!

Levi Austin: Three Months

How is it that we are already at three months??! I really wish time would slow down!! Not much has changed since last month.

.

So Levi...at three months you are...

.

* Sleeping through the night!! You take your last bottle around 9:00 and sleep until 6:00...mommy and daddy are very appreciative!!

.

*You are still eating around 6 ozs. every four hours. Your morning bottle you take 7 ozs!

.

*You are trying to sit up all on your own! Why is it that both my boys want to do things early!!??

* You have excellent head control!! We are about to get you a Bumbo chair!!

.

*You love to "stand" on people's lap when they hold you! You are supporting your weight good!

*You love to "watch" your brother! You will watch him and follow him with your eyes!

*You are in size one diapers still and you are wearing anywhere from size 3 to 6 months clothes, depending on the brand!

I love love love this picture of you! Your daddy gets you smiling all the time!!

You are the sweetest little thing! You are growing way too fast and in a couple short weeks you will be starting daycare in the very same room your brother started in. Oh my!!

Happy 3 Months Little Man!!

Welcome Baby Claire

Well I finally have a sweet little girl to love on!!! My first niece arrived three weeks early at 11:24 on July 25th!! Her name is Claire Cantu!! She has a head full of dark hair and looks like her big bro Coen!!

 I can't wait to get to Houston to hold her!!! Congrats Holly, Charlie, and Coen!!

My Little Dare Devil

Lane is my little dare devil! Yesterday we were at the mall picking up some soccer gear, when we came upon a bungee trampoline thingy. I kinda jokingly said "Oh Lane you wanna do that?" I expected him to say no, but he said yes! So we  paid, got in line and waited for his turn! Paul and I thought for sure he would watch the kids and change his mind! But oh no...he sat patiently and watched the kids in front of him with awe...

Then it was his turn!! He was such a big boy!! He climbed right on up and let the man buckle him in!

Ready to start jumping!

From the minute he started, his smile never left his face!!

Going high...

A little higher...

And VERY HIGH!!

The first time he went this high he just started laughing out loud...it was so cute!!

He loved it!! I was so proud that he didn't get scared at all!! Now let's hope this isn't at the mall every time we go!!

Cooling Off

Ugh.  This heat is literally unbearable this summer. I hate being stuck indoors so much, but with a two month old it's hard to go do outdoor activities! The Saturday of the 4th we didn't have anything going on and wanted to get out of the house, so I suggested we go to Highland Village to a little splash park. So that's what we did. After grabbing lunch at The Blue Goose (yum) we changed Lane into his swim shorts and let him run wild!!! On the other side there is a Ben n Jerry's with a covered "patio" where we set with the baby. Lane had a blast!

 After playing we had to get some ice cream!

Levi was a trooper! He of course slept through most of it!

There is also a Barnes and Noble right there, so after a trip in to get Lane a new train book....he made it all of two seconds in the car before he passed out!!

It was a fun afternoon and I need our city to put one of these splash parks in!!
