Thomas the Train

We took Caleb to see/ride Thomas the Train in Grapevine.  Matt's parents came along for the day. Caleb loves is Nene and Pawpaw!  It was such a fun filled day. Thomas was in downtown Grapevine, the day consisted of taking a ride on Thomas, then we spent the rest of our time there in a tent.  In the tent there was about 10-15 tables set up with train track and all kinds of Thomas and friends, needless to say it was a HUGE little battle to get Caleb to leave.

Caleb and the TRE

So as of lately Caleb has had quite a HUGE little obsesion with trains! We got tickets to see Thomas the Train in Grapevine, but to warm Caleb up to riding an actual train we decided to ride the TRE.  Caleb had a great time, but half way through the ride he got a little restless so we decided to get off and wait for the next train back to downtown FW.

Caleb had such a great time!

My two loves! It was such a great day!

Tay's 21st

So the it had been a really really really long time since I up dated my blog. But with nursing school in the final count down, I figured I would try to start getting better at updating.  So here is what has been going......... 

On January 3 my baby sister, Taylor, turned 21!  We were all so excited to go out and celebrate with her!  We started the night off at my dad's with all the sisters for dinner and cake.  I was a really good time. We got ready to go to the Glass Cactus at the Gaylord to party the night away.  Unfortunately, Erin couldn't come with us because she was 7 1/2 months pregnant but everyone was so glad that we were together at dad's. After dinner and cake we got ready, which was so nice because it brought back all the memories from growing up.  Sharing make up and helping each other with hair. 

It is just so crazy that we are all grown up with families or our own.  It was good to just have time with only the sisters!

Once we got the Glass Cactus we started with night off with a round of shots and then drinks. I have to say that is was a little strange drinking with Taylor, I guess because she is the youngest and it means that we are all getting old

Cheers!

Taylor and Mel having a good time on the way upstairs!

The cover band that night was Suede, and they are so GOOD!!!!!!!  It was the second time I had seen them and it was just as good as the first.  The first time we saw them was during Melody's bachelorette party, which also happened to be a The Glass Cactus.  Suede plays a ton of music ranging from classic 80's through today! Let me just say they are so stinking good!

 I believe that this is shot round #3

We're Amanda, Mel and Lay and we like the boom!

Suede ROCKS!

Go Aledo!

So Aledo is plays for the State Championship this Saturday. A couple of weeks ago Aledo played Stephenville at the new Cowboys Stadium. The game was so much fun, and so close. Aledo won in overtime! GO BEARCATS! Here are a few pictures from the game.

All these people here just to see a high school football game. I bet people in other states would think this is crazy!

The huge TV!

Halloween

So Halloween was fun this year, Caleb actually like his costume. He was Buzz Lightyear! Go figure! My in laws came with us and man it sure was a good thing. Caleb did NOT want to walk. I think one of the first homes we went to scared him a little and from then on he didn't want to be put down. So we went with the flow and carried him. He was so cute saying 'trick treat'. He couldn't quite get the or in. He is so fun at the age.

2nd Birthday

September was a Very busy month for us. Caleb turned 2 on September 14. I just can't believe it! I still remember the day we found out we were pregnant. Time really does fly by. We were going to have his party at BearCat Park, but won't you know it, it was raining!!! I mean it was raining, from about Wednesday on. So we ended up having the party at our house again. He really seemed to enjoy it. So since it was his second birthday he had two cakes. One was an Elmo cupcake cake! I just loved it, thank you Wal-Mart :)



His second cake was a SpongeBob Square Pants cake. It was so cute too! Thank you NeNe for bringing it!

Let me just say Caleb is really loved! That boy racked in the presents! Which I am not complaining, I do have to say that two of his favorite gifts are in the picture below, the Buzz Lightyear PJ's that aunt tootie gave him. They are so cute the front looks like a Buzz, and they have "wings". Caleb run around the house with his arms out screaming " I fly! I fly!" He also loves his easel.

Eating ice cream and cake! I love being 2!!!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

So school has been kicking my butt, two weeks down only six more to go, in Pediatrics. Then OB starts. I am really looking forward to MAY!!!! And speaking of OB, it seems like everyone I know is having babies! :) Kinda makes me want another baby soon, but then I am reminded how wonderful a two year old act.

The two pictures below are of sweet baby Dax. My uncle matt and Jen had their second son a little over a week ago. Dax Patrick Friedman. He is a little bruiser compared to his brother Drew :) He sure is sweet.
Mamaw and Dax

My sister, Amanda, also had a baby about three weeks ago. I am finally an Aunt. Chace Joseph Krebs! He was 9lbs even. He is so stinking sweet!! I forgot how small newborns are. Mom and baby are doing great.

And finally tonight we celebrated my grandpa's 65th birthday at Outback. It was really nice seeing everyone. And this again was another reminder of why we are waiting to have another baby. Caleb was good for about the first 30 minutes and then it all went down hill from there. He was running and yelling, and acting like a little turd! But I do love him! We just don't go out to eat anymore. :) But that is a good thing ................. (new posts to come)
