Everett's First Trip to the FW ZOO!!!

Whew! We officially survived the chaos of the Fort Worth Zoo, during Spring Break, on 1/2 price day! Luckily we got there when they opened, and were able to get tickets quickly and get inside before the major madness began! Everett and I met Angela and Noah at the zoo, too! It was a ton of fun to get to catch up with them and let the boys hang out! Here are some pics from our adventure!

Noah and Everett ready to take on the zoo!

Running around!!

Look at the Flamingo's Mommy!!! Agh..the sun!

Mommy and Me!

Everett's first carousel ride! We ended up sitting on the benches when it started moving! The horse was a little to tall for big E!

New Bedroom Furniture!!! Woohoo!! :)

For Valentine's Day, Christopher bought me the bedroom furniture I have been wanting for a few years now!!!! Aren't I a lucky gal!!!

So, here it is....keep in mind, I still need to do some accessorizing, and need to get some new sheets and things for the bed.....and we havent bought the dresser and night stands yet!

BUT....I LOVE IT!!!

I just had to add in a few more pictures of Everett from this week.....

Here he is putting on Mommy's glasses...he loves to do this!!

For the past week, when I go in to check on Everett before Chris and I go to bed, I end up changing his diaper...he sleeps through it all...and then (the best part) I can't resist laying down with him for a little while...I mean, can you blame me!???

Here is Everett with Papa D and the Elk Hunting Show in Fort Worth last weekend. He is on a big boy saddle...Not sure he knew what to think!

Around the house in FEBRUARY!

This month Everett is a year and a half old! It's so hard to believe that time has flown by so fast!

Here is Everett a year ago...

And here he is now!!!! What a big boy!

These are just some random pics of Everett around the house one day in February!

Here he is with his favorite sippy cup watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Now with his favorite blankie and his favorite sippy cup!

This is the first time I have been able to catch him in a cardboard box....and have my camera!

Viva Las Vegas - February 2009

So, I havent posted in FOREVER!!!! I am going to spend a little time catching up since it's SPRING BREAK, and I have a little bit of extra time!

We went to Vegas in February to celebrate Matt's 26th birthday! Matt and Ashley had never been to Vegas before, so we helped them learn the ropes! We had a really good time. We stayed at the MGM Grand, walked the strip, shopped, went to see "O" by Cirque, had fun playing the slots and a few tables, and enjoyed the scenery....especially the people watching! :)

Here we are at "Rouge" Bar after dinner one night

Walking the strip....our hotel in the background!

Our yummy rasberry margaritas at lunch....somewhere on the strip!

We walked over to the Paris and Ballys...and of course, Matt couldnt resist! DORK!

Matt and Ash at Rouge....our favorite place in the MGM!
