Gamers

Landon came over to play this morning, and besides wrestle mania in the living room, this is what they did.

 They did take a break from gaming for a minute and play with the batman cave.

I think they were sick of me invading their playtime because it all ended with a, "Mom, will you pleeaassse get out?"

Pony

Oh, does this poor boy need a haircut.  I love his curls so much, I don't want to get rid of them.  And everytime I try to trim his bangs, he looks like he belongs in the movie Dumb and Dumber. 
The other night after his bath I put it up in a pony, just for a few laughs.  The little guy didn't notice a thing.

But Bo noticed, and he had had enough laughs and wanted it out, asap.

Other than getting a kick out of playing with Cruz's hair, there's been a lot of this going on around here.

And this.

This past month has been quite busy actually.

I had my ten year class reunion.

We took a trip to the zoo with daddy.

We drove down to OKC to visit with Kelly's family.  These are the only pics I got that day. The boys watching a movie on the ride home.

Halloween was a hit.

We put our house up for sale.

I took a trip to KC with my mom and sisters.

And I have been taking lots of pictures for other people...which is awesome, but has somehow resulted in me taking a lot less pictures of my own family.

Shorty on the Go

Cruz is growing up so quickly.  Definitely no babies in this house anymore.  It makes me a bit sad.  He wants to do everything his big brother does.  Build forts with the couch cushions, wrestle on the floor with daddy,  eat candy and junk food...and the list goes on.  He also loves to tick his big brother off.  When Bo is building towers with the blocks, Cruz will charge over to them and swat them down.  Or if Bo is trying to watch a show, Cruz will get right up in his face to get his attention.
He loves to go outside and attempt to eat rocks, and he constantly tries to take off down the road. Thank goodness we live in a cul-de-sac.  This picture says it all.

 What mom? Did you catch that on film?

 So darn cute.

They've both kept me very busy lately, along with lots of other stuff going on.  But they're both very good boys.  I wish life would slow down, so we could enjoy this time more.

Carrie Underwood

Way back in April, my sister, some friends, and I bought Carrie Underwood concert tickets.  Well, the day finally arrived this week, and it was well worth the wait.  We all thought she put on a very good show.
Here's the evening in pictures....

Cruz and I waiting outside for my ride to arrive.

My sister, Jamie and I before heading to Kylie's house.

We met up with Kylie and Jenny at Kylie's house.  Kylie was kind enough to be our DD :)

We decided to get dinner and drinks downtown at Playa Azul and just happen to run into some of our good friends that were headed to the concert also! 

The arena doesn't allow dslr's so I had to bring my piece of poo camera.  I was so mad at myself when I realized there wasn't a memory card in it.  I had a limit of only 9 pictures!  If you know me, I take millions of pictures, so this was super hard for me!  Here's Carrie, if you can recognize her through the graininess!

 We had the best seats yet since I've been to a concert at the new arena.  Good times girls, we need to start planning our next evening out, even if it's six months in advance!! :)

Decisions, Decisions....

Not that these decisions hold great importance, but they are still decisions.  We got out the Halloween tub the other day and tried several costumes on Mr. Cruzie.  Flippin adorable.

And my personal favorite, but obviously not his...

Candyland

So, the other day Bo wanted to call his cousin Landon to see if he could come over and ride bikes.  Bo had been in the house all morning playing on the computer, so I told him if Landon came over they had to play outside and ride bikes or something.  Trying to be sneaky, Bo calls and immediately says something about playing games (on the computer).  As I can hear only Bo's side of the conversation, I hear him say something about Candyland.  
They get off the phone and Bo runs out side to watch for Landon walking down the road.  Several minutes pass and I finally decide to go out and check it out.  This is what I found on our very dirty garage floor.

As you can see, Cruz was as shocked as me. 
They had pretty much played a whole game by the time I came out.  Well, their version of the game anyway.

Cruz decided to take a seat and learn a few Candyland tricks.

Bo won the first (and only) round.  He was pretty stoked.  If only they would entertain themselves like this more often.  You know, in a non-violent, calm, no running, jumping or hitting kind of way.
