Memorial Day Weekend 2011 and More !!

Memorial Day Weekend...thanks to our military!!



Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Sally & Mimi coming over to play today!!




Mimi found a turtle on the road and brought it to me! We let it go in the water though!!



I told Mr. Turtle to smile at Mom-mie but he wasn't too happy :(

Mimi & Mom-mie's Uncle Jimmy

Jaxton doesn't like mustaches or go-tee's but he finally touched Uncle Jimmy's!

Silly String Time!!! ( there probably is a warning label NOT to do this )

The Men going for a cruise ( they came back later all wet cause Uncle Jimmy made them go through the water fountains)

Fishing ( or as Jaxton would say "Bishing") Time



New Water Toy!! 



This one looked better than it tasted....won't use that recipe again

Kemah Train Ride Again....we did this 3 times so he could go through the tunnels

He's carefully walking in the water I thought....

But he really wanted his tank top off!!  Not sure why....maybe cause this is the 1st shirt I have ever bought at Walmart..LOL....maybe it was SCRATCHY!!

Much Happier!!

He is definitely a water baby...I mean Toddler :(

Having so much fun !!

He wanted to get NAKED and eat some applesauce!!

Last ride of the day!!

Us running around Kemah!  Again, not gonna pay $20 for a picture!!

Ross's Grandma turns 95 !!!

Grandma Theda with Dada

Jaxton so OVERTIRED from all the traveling!!  Sorry Grandma Theda!

Jaxton gave her some new slippers!!

Started Memorial Day weekend at Goode Company where they have live bands on Friday nights

Lovin' the DRUMS!!

and dancin'

with Mom-mie too!!!

Playing with his CARS ....notice drumstick behind him that the drummer gave him to keep:)

1st time with water balloons....he LOVED to smash them on the concrete...we filled over 100 this weekend..LOL

1st Orchard to visit in Texas to pick Blackberries...I arranged this for my MOMS Club

Gettin' ready to do some pickin' and hayride

But first he plays with the Doodle bugs and then ends of smushing them

Our group for the day!!

Jaxton not liking Zachary tickling him with the hay..LOL

Jaxton, Collin & Zachary sharing a blankie cause the hay so itchy!!

Jaxton wasn't feeling so good when we started to pick blackberries

so we only got ONE and had to go home :(  Not sure what happened...maybe too hot or nauseated from hay ride

Driving NAKED ( he has a diaper on )

My mandarin orange tree!! Growing oranges finally!!

Having lunch with G.G. 

VERY WINDY day at the Zoo...but that is why we went before the 100 degree temps hit !!

He was standing in one of the fans that blows water too so you can cook off!!  He LOVES BIG FANS!



Just enjoying the day



All smiles!!

Feeding the fish where we had a picnic by the lake...hadn't had a picnic in a LONG TIME...very FUN!!!

SO SLEEPY!!  But we HAD to ride the train!!

My 1st time to go Bumper Bowling....like my BOWLING SHOES!!!

Here with my friends waiting our turn....they were all so great!!

The hand dryer was a hit too

1st bowl

Definitely would of been a strike if it was faster... BUT he did score the highest with a 70 !!!!!

I know I said I would not go this long between blog updates BUT we have just been so busy!!  We did lots of fun things with our MOMS Club this month....bowling, berry picking, swimming and I even went to Austin for a weekend with some of the other Moms to attend a National Luncheon for our organization.  We ended up staying the night in a hotel...where there was a Prom going on so we had to move rooms cause the music was vibrating our room...are we old or what??? We had some great sushi and conversation!!  I visited my dear friend Giovanni and his wife Megan to see their 1st born daughter Giulianna ...so precious!!  Ross stayed with Jaxton and his parents came over to visit and take Jaxton to the pool for the 1st time this year and of course loved it again!! But he is SO NOT INTO BALD HEADS of any kind and gave Grandad a hard time.  Thank goodness he doesn't have a go-tee or mustache cause he doesn't like those either!!

We took a trip to the Zoo on the 1st cloudy and windy day we had and Jaxton and I even had a picnic!!  So much fun...will have to do more of these in the fall when cooler and with Dada!!  This month on the 23rd is the day my Dad passed away 18 years ago and to honor him we had dinner out and looked at old pictures my Mom brought and just reminesced on all our memories!!  I sure do miss him and I know he would of been building all kinds of stuff for Jaxton and I probably would of never had to visit the toy store!!!

Memorial Day weekend came and went too fast but we had fun celebrating in honor of all the military who fought for our freedom!!  My Aunt Sally and Uncle Jimmy along with Mimi came over to hang out and enjoy some great ribs and chicken Ross smoked on the grill all day!!  I took Jaxton to Kemah right after the weekend was over and it was another perfect day (although much hotter this time)...no one was hardly there so we pratically had all the rides to ourselves and the water fountains to play in!!  Jaxton (or maybe it's me) has been obsessed with all the cars from the original CARS movie so we try to collect them anywhere we go because they don't make them anymore...we are even getting a few on e-bay...LOL!! The new movie comes out on June 24th and we have almost all the new cars for that movie....I think it's more me than him but the movie is SO GOOD and he LOVES them so much!!  He memorizes all their names and asks to watch ceratin scene's over and over again!!  I can't wait until CARS2 goes to DVD so we have another movie to watch....poor Tinkerbell only comes out every now and then lately!!!

We just got back from Tyler visiting Ross's sister and family.  His niece, Ashlyn, graduated from the 8th grade and they had a huge ceremony for them....all 355 of them!!  That was the same number I had in my graduating high school class!!  We are so proud of her....she's gonna do great in High School!!  Jaxton had fun laying with his cousin Austin and all his toys....Austin even gave him a couple cars from the CARS movie....Jaxto LOVED that!!  Before we headed home we drove to Longview to visit with Ross's Grandma Theda since she will be turning 95 next weekend!  She looks great and is still sharp as ever!!  We had to leave early because Jaxton was WAY OVERTIRED from all the traveling and was crying to go sleep in the car and go home :(

Well JUNE brings many celebrations for us too so we are sure to be full of pictures .... I will update soon so I'm not sitting on this computer for hours!!!
