Balloon!

Or "boon" as Anthony calls them!!! We went on a lunch date to Chick Fil A, and Anthony picked this one out all by himself! He watched one of the workers putting out a display, and was just craning his neck to watch him! I guess the guy noticed that Anthony wanted one, so he came over to our table and let him have first dibs! Sorry the pictures are a little dark! Don't you just love how the little things in life make kids so happy?!? I need to be more like that! :)

Happy Fourth of July!

Well, it's almost September, and here I am blogging about the Fourth of July...oh well! At least the pictures are just as good now as they were then! We decided to take Anthony to his first parade in downtown McKinney. This was actually the First Annual 4th of July Parade for McKinney. We went with some good friends, Kit and Gwen, who have two little boys, so we were in great company. It was about 100 degrees even this early in the morning! But Anthony didn't seem to mind...he enjoyed hanging out in his backpack on Daddy's back.

While on our way from our parking spot to the area of the parade, we walked down Anthony St. and had to take a picture!

Watching all the floats go by

Not sure what the person in the gold costume is supposed to be--the statue of liberty?

The Family

Okay, so you can tell from the movie that this very well might have been the lamest parade we've ever been to!!! Haha! But at least Anthony enjoyed waving his little flag! Maybe it will be better next year!

We're Back!!!

Yay! My camera is fixed, and I bought a card reader to upload my pics...(we were having a problem with the cable that came with my camera as well)! So, I'll spare you the details, but the bottom line is--we are back in business! Expect the floodgates to be opened with all the postings I need to catch up on! Here we go...beginning with the Fourth of July!!!

Intermission

Hey everyone....

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. My camera basically just quit working. So, not only am I not taking pictures right now, I'm not uploading them either. It hasn't even been a year since I bought the camera, so it's still under warranty. I've sent it in to Kodak, and they have received it, so I should be hearing something soon. Hopefully they will repair it for free or send me a new one. So sorry about the lack of updates. I'll catch you all up as soon as I get to taking pictures again. Until then...please excuse me during this short (we hope!) intermission!

Some Recent Pics

Just wanted to share some recent pictures of our sweet toddler baby...he's still my baby, right?

Father's Day

These pictures have been a long time in coming!!! We had such a fun Father's Day this year. Anthony wanted to take his daddy to a baseball game, so I tagged along too! We went to the Rough Riders game, and we all had a blast! It was the second of a double header, so it was only a seven inning game. Anthony didn't get restless until the sixth inning, even though it was past his bedtime! He loved cheering with the crowd and dancing to the music. He sat in his little backpack chair almost the entire game and even enjoyed a hotdog. Here are some fun pictures from the night...

"Wow, Dad! You're the coolest!"

It was hot, but it sure was fun!

"GO RIDERS!"

Oh yeah...see that guy in the red shirt in the video? Early in the game, the guy sat in the seat directly in front of Anthony. Since Anthony was sitting in his backpack chair he was much shorter than he would have been if he had been sitting in someone's lap. So, Anthony proceeds to ever so politely tap the guy's shoulder as if to say, "um, excuse me...you're in my way...could you move down one?" The man and his entire family moved down to the left so Anthony could see the game! :)
