Today I decided to get the playdoh out an let them play with it due to this wonderful Texas weather. An they love playing with it rolling it into balls, an snakes. lol. I want to look into getting toys that you can use playdoh with, but til then I came up with some tools. Here are a couple pics.
I am blessed to have two wonderful kids that take usually an hour to hour an half nap an go to sleep without a fuss! Put them in their bed an they are out. An after seperating the rooms I thought we might have a problem. But they have done so well they even sleep later now, which is wonderful for me. I am a big sleeper! But since the seperation Miss Addi has started a new routine. Her routine consists of:
1. Kissing her feet
2. Kissing her hands
3. Kissing her on the head
4. Hug (as she squeeze's so tight I love it)
5. High 5's
6. Then shake her hands
7. The final an new one that is so darn cute is now she wants to dap (where you hit fists) I believe she learned from Uncle T & Aunt Corrye.
Where she learned all this I dont know.
Then she wants her music turned on an she is good to go.
Landon all you have to do is tuck him in an kiss him goodnite.
Labor Day we headed over to Ms. Brooke's (Kristie & Brians mom) pool to hang out with friends an swim. The kids love going over their to swim. We ate some really good food (thanks Brian an Eric) an had a great time. It was prob the last day for the kids to go swimming since the weather should be getting cooler. 
Addi lounging getting some sun :).
Had to float in the baby float since it was pulled out. She threw quite the fit over it.

Hanging all over their Uncle Billybob! They love him so much.
Thank you to Brooke, Billybob an Kristie for letting us come over an play in the pool all summer. They love you guys. An always have fun there!!
Yesterday morning a little after we had gotten up an ate breakfast Landon comes into the Living room saying "Ladies and Gentleman now presenting Magic" I started cracking up laughing an asked him where did he hear that. So after that he thought it was hilarious each time he said it. An then yesterday afternoon we had gone over to Joel's grandmas for a visit. An we were getting the kids into the car an these days they don't want help with anything, so they want to buckle their seat belts in the car seats. Well grandma was trying to help Landon he was saying I can do it, I can do it. An grandma said I am just trying to help you an his response was "you can go back inside" I started dying laughing I was like where does he come up with this stuff. He apologized an gave her a kiss. But it was stinking cute! Addi doesn't talk near as much as Landon but she is getting there. Her saying is "Aw Man"!!! an her little voice its to cute!
*Sorry just thought I would share.
Saturday night after Joel got off we decided to take the kids to the Mesquite Rodeo after we got some tickets from a friend. They both are defintly into horses an cows right now so I thought the kids would enjoy it. After telling them a couple days before that is all they would say is "go to the rodeo" so they were very excited to go. Brian, Paula & Carlos decided they would go with us an that just added to their excitement. We get there an they are ready to race in there. We got there a little early an decided to walk around. An you can see where the holding tank (what I like to call it) where the cows & calfs wait. So the kids ran up to it trying to pet them, of course the cows wouldnt have it. It was cute to see the excitement on there face. Then we find the pony rides. We could have stayed there the whole night an Addi would have been perfectly content on that. She suckered her Nana into going over there during the rodeo. They rode them 3 or 4 times. During a break between bull riding an barrel races a clown came out an was going to do a trick on a dirt bike, well as soon as the he kicked started the dirt bike Landon started crying cause it was scaring him. An lately he has been such a little dare devil that most anything doesnt scare him. So I was very suprised when he cried. An now he talks bout how he was scared when the dirt bike came out. Its hilarious! But they had a great time at the rodeo we will def. have to go again next year an we might just have to buy a pony for that girl!
(the kids with Carlos & the truck)
This morning Paula called me an asked if the kids would like to go ride in the big truck(he has a big 18wheeler truck an trailer), and of course I asked an they said YES!!!! They love riding in Pawpaw Carlos's truck every time they see Paula or Carlos they ask "ride in pawpaw truck". Or even when we see a truck on the road they ask. They love his truck to say the least. Well they were going to come here but there isn't much to see in Mansfield these days besides houses, so I said I would bring them out there so they could see horses an cows. On the phone Paula had mentioned going to a horse ranch so they could see horses. An I figured we would just drive thru, but we got out an walked all around. So we headed out that way to Aledo, we got to Nana's house. An as soon as we get to Nana's house Addi runs over to the truck. She is ready to go. So we had to plead with her to come inside to get a blanket for the back part of the truck an she thought we weren't going to ride so she started crying an saying " ride ride." We finally convinced her she was going to ride an she stopped for a few minutes. We got the stuff an headed out to ride an find some cows an horses. It is much prettier out there than driving around here, I think.

So we loaded up an away we went to find horses, an cows. We saw lots of them on the way. Then we stopped at the horse ranch where Carlos usually picks up some poop from. An we got out an looked at the beautiful horses that were all around us. We probably walked around for about an hour or so. Looking at all the horses there.
Here are a few pics
Then we headed inside the stables an pet some horses. The kids weren't afraid at all. Well Landon was a little standoffish but he got over that quick. 
Then we got back into the truck an drove around some more. An by that time it was lunch time so we went back to Nana's to get the car an we headed out to lunch at McDonald's to let them blow off some more energy. It was a great day! Thanks Nana & Pawpaw Carlos. They had a blast! It was cute listening an talking bout their day with them.
This past weekend Joel had decided to take me to Sea World, only since he had been promising for 7 yrs to take me. I have never been to Sea World so we decided to go the 13th which was his bday. Such a sweet husband I know, taking his wife somewhere for HIS bday. Well he say it just worked out that way with work an everything. But I still giving props for taking me on his bday. Which really I think he was more excited than I was. Since I had never been I didnt know what to expect but he did. An he was like a kid in a candy store when we got there. Almost running to the gates to get in line. We left our house at 530 that morning an got there right as they were opening very good timing I would say. Joel got a schedule first thing so we could see when the shows were. I dont know what I was expecting with the shows but they were a million times better! We went to every show an did almost everything except the water park I just wasnt willing to get wet then go walk around. We saw
penguins, 
sea lions,
shamu,
sharks, 
we fed the dolpins.
The shamu show was really amazing we both said we could sit there for hours an just watch them swim. It was such a great expierence! We did fill bad bout not bringing the kids but we def. will go back next year with them. This year they were just still a little to young. After seeing everything it was about 5 or so. We decided to go back to our hotel that was bout a mile from the river walk. An get ready an go have dinner an walk around. We get ready go have a few drinks before heading to dinner. By the time we had dinner an walked around a bit I was tired, an I had the bright idea to wear flip flops to Sea World boy was that a mistake I had blisters on the bottom of my feet an I got shin splints. So I was ready to hit the hay but I felt bad cause it was Joels bday an he wanted to go out an have a good time. Well I was limping when I walked so he decided to just go back to the hotel. After giving me a hard time of course.
The next day we SLEPT IN, that is the nicest thing to do on vacations esp after having kids. We got up an headed to San Marcus to the outlet malls. Boy was that thing huge but we got some great stuff. I was excited. By the end of that day my legs an feet were feeling much better. So we headed out to the river walk again an ate at a nice fancy place. It was really good. We walked around had some deserts. An took our little bus back to our hotel. This time Joel was tired. But of course I didnt give him a hard time.
The next day we of course slept in again. An got up an packed our stuff an headed out. We stopped in Gruene to look around in the shops an we had Brunch. We were defintly missing the kids. An wanted to get home fast. It was a really great weekend away!
