Safari in Texas

Our anniversary is coming up soon and we decided to celebrate this weekend because we have other things going on when we would normally celebrate.  We took Soren along with us and had a great time.

Soren loves animals so we started the day by going up to a little ranch about 40 minutes north of us.  They had lemurs and kangaroos and then we got to go on a little safari and see all sorts of different animals.  Soren provided a lot of entertainment for all of the safari goers as he fearlessly petted the animals and laughed as he did so.

After the ranch we went to lunch at a little cafe, it was delicious.  After lunch we went and go frozen custard for dessert.  

Then we went home just long enough to change into our swimsuits then we were off to the pool.

Soren is such a good little boy, he never slows us down.  We left the house at 11:30am and didn't get home for good until 6pm.  He didn't slow us down one bit, he was just happy to be out and napped in his car and the way to and from the ranch.

It was a fantastic day, I love our little family!

Battle of the Bowl

Soren and Radley both find the bowl extremely entertaining and neither of them is very good at sharing...

 

 

"Mom!  Look what I found!!!" 

Moving On

We are moving on from baby food.  It is time for multiple reasons.

1.  This kid eats SOOO much, baby food adds up when your child eats 4-6 jars a day...

2.  He is after all, almost 10 months.

3.  Time to explore all of those delicious foods out there!

4.  He can pick up food and put it in his mouth, the days of spoon feeding are nearing their end.

So far he has enjoyed grilled cheese, jelly sandwich, green beans and peaches.

Uncle Justin Came to Visit

My brother came to visit us for about a week and we had a blast!  I didn't take very many pictures because I just didn't think about it.  We enjoyed going out to eat, swimming, going to the splash pad, watching the new spiderman movie and taking in the Rangers vs Red Sox game. 

The only pictures I took were from the baseball game.  Enjoy.

And of course, we have to have our token "baseball is long" picture.  Unfortunately, this game Soren didn't fall asleep at all, there were to many loud rallies. But he was good as can be, just quiet and very cuddly, can't complain about that!

Mom Let Me Feed Myself

BEST. DEAL. EVER.

Cow Appreciation Day = Dress up as a cow and get a free meal at Chick-Fil-A.

AMAZING!!!!

Took me a whopping five minutes to whip up these costumes and we got free dinner for it.

They even gave Soren a free kids meal for us...I mean him...to eat.
