I tried really hard to be proactive this year for Christmas cards and even made the boys an appointment for portraits in October. We finally got in in early November, and got our portraits back last week! Christmas cards will be in tomorrow and out in the mail by Wednesday. Even with me trying to be ahead of the game it still didn't quite work out as I'd hoped. Anyway, here are my favorites! Thanks Kim Jew!
I finally got to see the Photo Booth pictures from my mom and Steve's wedding. I knew Jackson had spent quite a bit of time in there, but what I didn't realize is that he is in more than HALF of the photos! I will post wedding pics of the boys in their tuxes later if I can find any.
We went to Cabo with Janet & Troy and their friends Debbie & Roger. We left the boys with Olivia and had a lot of (adult) fun. We relaxed some too!
Yee-Haw! Went to Nashville in June for Louisa and Buster's wedding! We had such a fun BTLRJ time (as usual)! Since I do not yet have permission from the bride herself, I will only share a few highlights for now!
 |
| At the pub on the first night (Thursday) |
 |
| Downtown Nashville after the Rehearsal Dinner |
 |
| We had waaaayyy too much fun with the photo boot props |
 |
| Waaaayyyyy too much fun |
 |
| At the pub after the reception! This is pre-icing war! |
 |
| Last night was just Scott and me. We had fun! |
 |
| At the Ryman on our last day. |
 |
| Did I mention how much fun we had with the photo booth? |
 |
| My favorite! |
For Preston's 2nd birthday, my mom and Aunt Janet came to visit. We had his party at the zoo (which I do not recommend). It was fun, but kind of a hassle. Here are some pictures!
Jackson has proved to be quite a skilled Tee Ball player. For a 4 year old, that is! By the end of the season, he could really hit the ball when pitched! Not so much off of the tee though. Here are some pictures from tee ball adventures...
 |
| Jackson playing catcher. Look at how low down he is! |
 |
| Scott and I were laughing so hard. A ball rolled right into him. I think he was so focused on staying down that he didn't see it. |
 |
| End-of-season party |
 |
| He loves his first trophy! It holds the game ball he was awarded perfectly! |
 |
| Preparing... |
 |
| Not very happy about having to wait to hunt... |
 |
| Just being handsome! |
 |
| Look at Preston go! |
 |
| He really got the hang of it. |
 |
| Waiting for everyone else to come back in. |
 |
| Look at those boys! |
 |
| It was really windy... |
 |
| And the sun was bothering Jackson. |
 |
| All better! I love the look on his face when he has the sunglasses on! |
 |
| Perry enjoyed the view of the Bellagio fountains from our hotel room |
 |
| Perry tried a Japanese beer at Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesar's Palace |
 |
| Perry took a swim with the goldfish (which we discovered are NOT for human consumption) at Beijing Noodle No. 9 |
 |
| Darn. They look so yummy! |
 |
| Perry is trying to sneak away again |
 |
| Perry is a huge fan |
 |
| Hey! Where's Perry? |
 |
| Perry found the Quack Shot Slot Machine hilarious... |
 |
| So he played and lost quite a bit of money... |
 |
| So he had to hit the ATM for more. |
 |
| Perry likes the Coach store at the Forum Shops |
 |
| He picked out a bangle which didn't quite fit his wrist! |
 |
| He's very happy with his purchase |
 |
| Perry really likes Caesar's Palace! |
 |
| He also REALLY enjoyed his time at Cabo Wabo. |
 |
| He made sure to check out the Eiffel Tower |
 |
| He tried to see Sammy and Deena at Paris but never spotted them |
 |
| He also lost on the slots at Paris |
 |
| Perry's favorite place in Vegas was definitely the Toby Keith tables at Harrah's |
 |
| He discovered his niche for Blackjack! |
 |
| Winner winner chicken dinner! |
 |
| He was also a fabulous good luck charm! |
 |
| Perry ran and climbed one of the fountains outside of Caesar's at 6am so I had to rescue him |
 |
| Back inside and ready to crash! |
 |
| Perry really enjoyed the view of the strip at sunrise |
 |
| Maybe he doesn't like Harrah's as much as we thought. He really seems to like the Pussy Cat Doll Lounge at Caesar's. |
 |
| Hey! Where's Perry? |
 |
| Art is a very nice dealer when he's not taking your money. Perry learned this the hard way. |
 |
| Doobe doobe doowah! |
 |
| Agent P! |
 |
| On Perry's last day, he had some fun at Sweet Factory |
 |
| He also got to hang out with Whoopie! |
 |
| And Ben Affleck... |
 |
| And Brad and Angie... |
 |
| Scary, Perry! |
 |
| And Barb! |
 |
| He also made it to the moon and back! |
 |
| Perry at McCarran. He was exhausted. |
 |
| Finally, headed home. I guess hanging out with a 4 year old isn't so bad, huh? |
