Texas Andersons

We spent Sunday recuperating from the party and tubing trip.  I also visited with friends on facebook about the loss of our camera in the river.  After several people telling me stories of similar happenings with great outcomes, I was encouraged.  After hearing that a fireman may be willing to help me search for the camera, I was intrigued.

Monday I got on the phone and got in touch with all the right people.  I trucked the boys on over to Granmom’s to spend the night.  And Nathan and I set out with a member of our firehouse’s swift water rescue team… and we found the camera!!!  We were surprised that it still worked.  I was thrilled to find out all the images were there.  Yay, Sony!!!

Tuesday, the boys had a great time playing at Granmom’s.  We cleaned house, took apart Evan’s crib, and got the “big boy” bed set up.  He thought it was awesome!  Night one, I was up with him for over an hour around 4am trying to keep him in bed and get him to go back to sleep.

Yesterday we drove up to the firehouse to take *my hero* a gift.  The boys had a wonderful time getting to see and sit in all the fire trucks!  Then we took Sophie to the vet for shots (which was quite an adventure!).  Night two of “big boy” bed was a success!

Yesterday (his actual b-day), we spent a few hours at Fiesta Texas.  Evan is now big enough to ride all the kids’ rides, so we… flew in the airplanes, screamed in the roller coaster, drove the cars, rode the train, and even got wet on the log ride!!!  I was so surprised by how brave he was to try everything, and was so proud of how both boys behaved.  It was a blast!!!  And then we headed out for dinner and playground fun. 

Today we spent the day with some of our dearest friends.  Morgan, Landon, and Madison met us for lunch and play time at Burger King.  Then we got to go over to Madison’s house for a playdate.  And the boys just finished up playing with the new water sprinkler and swimming in the pool.  Oh, what fun!
